Representative Loud Is at 1t again
with his attempt 10 pile on the taxes up
on the transmission OF literature
through the malls In order
10 enable the government to
continue making exorbltant pay
ments TO railroads for transporta-
tion. IL is notorious that II these pay
ments were scaled down 10 anything
like an honest figure the accounts Of
the postoiiice department would show a
handsome surplus, aud there would be
no occasion to talk about curtailing
second class privileges. AS long as
there is deficit the railroad bonanza

necessary to abolish the deficit by re-
ducing the services that constitute the
post office departments reason for ex-
