Der when the tax on real estate was
only 10 cents on the hundred dollars,
and now if we include both state and
county, it is over ten times that sum.
Excuse me, Mr.. Edisor, for saying that
no plan suggested will draw much of
the tax dodgers property from its hid
ing places. Making notes non-collect-
ible has been tried before the war, and
did not do it. There was time when
to charge usury forfeited the whole
amount, principal and interest; bnt
usury was charged and nobody took
advantage Of the law. Having prop
erty assessed will help some, but not
to the extent anticipated, for the asses
sors will be our fellow citizens, and
will favor the people.
There is but one sure, certain way,
and that is to lessen the appropria-
tons until the people are in better
condition. Take month or two of
the scholastic year, and let children
under eight years stay at home and Q
taught by their mothers. The school
room shonld not be made nursery.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The house
devoted another day to the considera-
tion of the Indian appropriation bill,
most Of the time being consumed, as on
the two previous days, in discussing
extraneous subjects. By far the most
interesting feature of the day was the
debate on the question of reducing the
mail carrier service in the large cities
owing to the failure of the senate to at
tach the estimated deficiency of 100000
70 the urgent deficiency bill.
This subject has been agitating the
metropolitan cities ever since the order
was issued for cutting down the force
on Feb. 1. A dozen representatives
from as many different cities protested
against the proposed reduction and
urged an immediate appropriation, when
Chairman Loud of the postoffice COM
mittee and Chairman Cannon of the ap-
propriations committee allayed the
wrath Of the members by assuring them
that there was no occasion for alarm
that the service could not possibly suf-
fer until June 10. before which time
there would be ample opportunity to
pass a deficiency appropriation.
Mr.. Loud used strong words in his
criticism of the postoffice department
officials and promised some interesting
disclosures later on. The motion tc
strike out the appropriation for the

SUGGESTIONS BY GENERAL GARY.
House Discusses Reduction OF City Letter
Carrier Forces-TeIler's Resolution
Before the seuate-Roberts Con-
nrmed as Director OF Mint.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--The senate
committee on postoffices and post roads
took into consideration the advisability
of establishing the system Of postal
savings banks in the limited States.
The discussion was general, and the
only conclusion reached was that Sem
ators Mason and Butler should prepare
a bin which could be used as a basis
for future deliberations.
This was done because of the fact that
there were a large number of measures
before the committee, all looking to the
same end. 1t is intended that the bill
to be prepared by Messrs. Mason and
Butler shall supplant all these, and they
were requested to have 1t in shape to be
taken up at the next meeting, to be held
a week hence.
A communication was read from POST
master General Gary making sugges-
tions regarding the details Of the legisla-
ton proposed. Among other provisions
urged by him was one giving the largest
possible discretion to the postmaster
general In putting the new system into
operation. Mr.. Gary also stated that,
in his opinion, the tendency is to make
the interest rate too high. "The down.
ward tendency of interest rate is un-
mistakable," he said.
He thought a rate too low preferable
to one too high and suggested per cent
as a prudent and reasonable rate. He
also suggested the Importance of pro-
viding certain postoffices or subtreas-
uries as repositories for the postofilce
funds because of the impracticability
of making repayments from Washing
ton in case all the repositories should
be located in Washington.
