discovered the alleged Irregularities and re-
ported them TO the city officials and later a
comparison was made with the looks Of the
Essex County Trust Company Of East Or
ange, whh'h was the depository OF the excise
funds. An effort Is being made TO round
up persons 70 whom liquor licenses have
been issued within the last ten years 20 zee
n they paid their fees by check or in cash.
The shortage h covered ia part by the
Fidelity cOmpany's bond for 81 1000

POSTAL REFORMS.

Members of congress who are re-
Sponsible for the appropriations to
be made by that body at It's ap-
preaching session are considering
means of reducing the existing
deficit in the revenues of the
government. 1t appears from the
reports that there is a deficit of
about SIS, 100000 in the revenues
of the postoffice department for the
last fiscal year, which is about one
quarter of the deficit in the receipts
of the treasury for the same period.
If this deficit could be eliminated it
is apparent that the finances of the
government would be in much
better shape.
In discussing this situation Con-
gresham Overstreet of Indiana,
who is chairman of the house COM
mittee on postoffices, has announced
his intention of proposing radical
increase in the rates of postage on
seconu class mail matter. His
proposition is that these rates should
be increased about five times. This
would mean that the newspapers of
this country would be compelled to
pay five times as much as at
present for the transmission of their
editions through the mails and that
they would be compelled to charge
their subscribers for this additional
expense. Every subscriber to a
weekly or daily newspaper would

substantial benefit to the business
world or the general public, and
the only effect of their maintenance
is to aid the metropolitan dailies in
killing off the competition of the
dailies in the smaller cities and the
country weeklies. This enormous
expenditure for the benefit of a few
publishers is an injustice to every
other publisher and to the tax
payers who are bearing the burden.
Another big saving could be
effected by cutting off the franking
privilege which members of con-
gress have voted to themselves at
the expense OF the general public.
1t is notorious fact that this
privilege is abused outrageously by
many members of congress and that
as result the government is COM
PEELED to pay for the Transmission
of thousands and thousands of tons
of mail matter" that would not be
accepted from private citizen even
If prepaid at the highest rate.
Members Of that body abuse that
privilege by sending to their homes
their household goods and personal
belongings of one kind and another
without expense to themselves, but
at great expense to the postofice
department, and if congress would
wipe out that abuse the depart
ment would be much more likely to
be self sustaining.
Two facts must be remembered in
considering the deficit in the post
Office department-frst, that de-
ficit existed for years before the
rural free delivery service was
inaugurated and therefore cannot
properly be charged to that service:
second, the actual receipts from the
rural free delivery service are not
indicated by the sale of stamps by
the rural carriers because the
farmers receive much more mail
than they dispatch, and the cities
