Repeal of Some Taxes

Congress must be the final judge as to what
particular objects of taxation and in what de-
gree reduction in rates shall apply. In my
opinion it would be within conservative limits
to reduce revenue to the extent of $50. 600, O00
AS a first step that direction I recommend
for consideration the repeal of all the miscel-
laneous taxes known as war taxes. These
items exclusive of the increased tax on fer
raented liquors, tobacco, tea and mixed four)
are estimated to produce $27, SOC, 600. They are
in their nature vexatious, in instances
oppressive and separately considered yield but

carrier service the rural service is open
to women, and there are to-day about 8
dozen women rural carriers. In one OF
the New England States there is a woman
carrier who rides over her route on horse
back, her sole companion being a large
Newfoundland dog. The horse is a spir-

mony of the natives, She can ride any

An amusing anecdote is told of an old
man living on a rural route in one OF the
Western States. When his route was es-
tabl shed tle time-honored fourth-ciass
postcffice to which he had been accuS-
toned. for years, to drive five miles for
his mail was discontinued. Not long
after the route started the Postoffice De-
Dartment received a. letter from the old
man requesting that his postotlce be re-
established. He stated that he mad Deen
% unfortunate as to marry young WIFE,
whose temper was not particularly an
gelic, and that It had been his habit to
drive 10 the postoffice every day for the
mail. but since the office had been abol-
ished and his mail was delivered daily
bv the carrier his wife would not let
him go off the place.
It is possible that he is still enduring
his imartyrdom, and while in this partlcu-

VALUES ENHANCED
Experience shows that where the rural
free delivery service has been introduced
the value of farm lands has increased
, IRON g. 10 81 per acre. This enhancement
OF property values Is due not only TO the
increased mail facilities Of that section,
but because the farmer is able TO get
papey containing the daily market QUO
1atsolis and farm products and thereby
secure better prices Tor his products
The impression exists, in some quarters,
that the Introduction % the rural free
delivery service necessarily implies the
Nholesal. discentinuance of the smaller
postottices As a matter OF fact, by estab-
fishing the rural free delivery service,
