An AIIeasa Promotion syndIeate.


New York. April l4.--No arrests
have as yet been made as a result of
the Investigation said TO be in progress
OF the charges that an alleged promo
ton syndicate had been operating to
secure payment from employees Of the
New York postoffice for increase in
salaries. Postmaster Van Cott said
that he had heard nothing official from
Washington as yet concerning the al
legged postofice scandals. He is still
loath to believe that any such alleged
syndicate could operate in the New
York postofice without his knowledge.
and he cannot see by what agreement
the men were induced to part with
their money, if such were really the
case.
1t was said at the postohice that the
alleged syndicate" could have oper-
ated from Washington. provided il
could see the records Of the salary and
allowance division. and its agents could
probably have secured considerable
money from those who had been recon-
mended by the postmaster.

To INVESTIGATE
POSTAL SCANDAL
Mr.. Payne Says That Anyone
Found Guilty VIII be Sum-
marily Dealt With
NO UNDUE HASTE TO Sc EMPLOYED

Washington, April IA. - Postmaster
General Payne gave out a statement in
which hefannounced that the investi-
gatiopseof the affairs of the postofice
department will be continued and that
shy parties found guilty of wrongdoing (
will be dealt with summarily. The
statement follows:
During the months Of January and |
February, information and reports
reached me which I deemed It for the
public interest TO investigate, and /,
personally, gathered such information
and facts as would enable the proper
officers Of the department to undertake
a Thorough investigation as TO the
truth or falsity of these reports.
directed Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow to take the proper
steps to institute the necessary inquiry,
using for that purpose the postoftice
inspectors division and such other
methods as would thoroughly ascertain
the truth OF falsity Of the charges or
insinuations made, and he was In
structed to proceed promptly and with
vigor during my absence. Since my
return this morning / have not seen
General Bristow. so that / am not ad-
vised of the progress made. The inves-
tigation will continue, and II any wrong
doing is disclosed. the parties guilty
of such wrongdoing viii be summarily
dealt with. If the system or method
of doing business in the department is
faulty, the proper remedies will be ap-
piled without fear or favor inaugu-
rated the investigation with the deter
mination that il should be exhaustive.
1t is proper for me toHadd that laid be-
fore the president the information
which ! had in my possession, and that
he fully approved of the action pro-
posed by me-"
The whole administration of the
postoffice department Is made subject
to the investigation under Postmaster
General Paynes directions, and every
charge will be pushed thoroughly and
the inquiry made as thorough as the
departments most expert inspectors
can make IT,
At the same time, Mr.. Payne's pur-
pose is to give fair and Just treatment
to all concerned. and not TO act arbi-
trarily and witt undue haste. For this
reason it can be stated that no imme-
dlate chahges of importance in the per-
sonnel Of the service are now contem-
plated and changes will depend largely
on the report to be made by Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
on the investigation althc Jgh circum-
stances may necessitate some devia-
tion from this policy.
The ofaee of the assistant attorney
general for the postoflce department is
among the bureaus included in the gen.
eral inquiry. and until the investlga-
ton Of affairs generally Is completed
il is probable that no successor to AS
sistant Attorney General Tyner viii be
named
II IS learned that it may be several
weeks or more before the postofice in
spectors viii be able to complete their
work. When they have finished, Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
win prepare q comprehensive report OF
the whole subject The report neces
sarily will embrace matters as 10 which
publicity may not be warranted. so 4

O
NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Mr.. Gore Advocates the Establishment
of a Reformatory and the Repeal of
the Six Per Cent. Law.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
I am pleased to see you publishing
extracts from Letters of a Self
made Merchant to His Son." I, like
you, read them. in the Post. Your
paper is well gotten up, and should
be in every household in our State.
I wish to talk on new legislation:
We need a Reformartory for young
criminals. Many of US can look back
on our lives and see something we
did in the formative period which, if
we had been prosecuted for, might
have sent us to prison among the
hardest criminals. Oh! it makes us
shudder. The man who says he never
did anything of which he was
ashamed at the time done or since, is
either untruthful or has a very short
and convenient memory. Let us by
all means have the Reformatory. I
don't want any new bonds issued, but
if there are to be any, then issue
them to build the Reformatory.
There is a law now which says:
"The owner of corporation stocks
outside of the State, must list, and
pay here a tax on the stock; the diff
ference between the tax assessed in
the other State, and the cash or mar
ket value of said stock" This should
be repealed. A law that looks so rad
ically wrong is apt to be evaded by
most men who can.
We have another law which makes
it usury to lend money for over 6 per
cent per annum. Where is the JUS
tice of limiting the profit on the
loan of money, and not limiting the
profit on other commodities? There
is no law to keep horse-traders, or
crop-time-goods-seller from making
any profit they and the buyer can
agree on, and a law that is looked on
by both borrower and lender as I'M
Just is not apt to be lived up to.
Some one has said that the best
way to have an unjust law repealed
is to have it executed. If all the
Quasi usury cases in this State were
started in our courts this year, they
would necessitate the appointment
of many more judges than we now
have to dispatch the business. What
we want is laws that the common
people look on as just, and that will
be faithfully executed, and that pub
lie opinion will compel to be exc

a rule, borrowed what they could not
possibly do without.
There has been less money lost on

than any other class of debts, and
our farmers are getting to be a read
ing community, and most of them
can very readily see that it pays them
much better to borrow cash at 10 per
cent or less, and buy all goods for
cash, than to buy on crop time, with
or without mortgages.
IF our people will read regularly
The Progressive Farmer and other
good secular papers, they will soon
not be a prey for the demagogues
and aXe-to-grind men, whether sell
ing lightning rods, range stoves, or
manufacturing sentiment to hoist
themselves into office.
Make a law that is not usury to
lend money at 10 per cent. or any
less rate with a written agreement
IN the presence of a subscribing wit
ness, and it will be a good thing, es-
pecially good for the small borrower,
both in city and country. I mean
amounts from ten to two hundred
dollars. Of course, no one is COM
PEELED to borrow money if he does
not want to, at a rate above 6 e
cent, even though the law allows a
higher rate to be legal, but while u
law does not allow us to lend now at
more than 6 per cent, they cannot
compel a man to lend at any price.
unless he wishes to.
knew a man a few years ago who
had money loaned in South Carolina
and Georgia at s per cent and in
Florida at 10 per cent, all at the
same time. Many people loan in this
State now at u per cent to 20 per
cent. (You may say I can't prove
that, but whether I can prove it or
not, it is sO.) Banks and other peo-
pie often buy paper at a greater rate
than above. If the 10 per cent rate
was legal, | think no money would be
loaned at a higher rate. The large
borrower can get his money any
where, as he is known, but the small
borrower is not known.
The man lending money to-day at
usurious rates, feels he must charge
enough so that he can stand a usurv
suit occasionally and if 90 ma1-o
