Chairman War Veterans
Advocates Parade
During Encampment

The board Of directors OF the Jobbers
and Shippers Association has received
the following communication:
Washington. d. c.. Aug. 6. 1905.
''Te the Board OF Directors, Jobbers and
Shippers Association, Washington,
u. G.
Gentlemen: ] respectfully iavI,e your
attention TO several reasons why an in
dustrial parade during the encampment
of the Spanish War Veterans 10 be held
here October S 70 l3. would be beneficial
20 the Greater Washington movement.
1.-THE parade would be an objective
for the development Of practical effort
on the part OF those already engaged in
manufacturing enterprises in Washing
ton: the expansion OF present Industries
being the first principle OF municipal
growth.
1T would prevent a dlminution OF in
terest in the Greater Washington move
.ment during the activity OF fan trade.
1T would insure the cooperation Of
manufacturers and merchants now en-
gagged in business in the District OF
Columbia,
'WiH present 10 thousands or visitors
a display Of the products OF Washington
Industries. Il VIII stimulate the " ash
ington business men 10 additional effort
y
important factors in the development Of
Greater Washington.
A parade might be arranged on lines
as follows. \ float representing the DIS
Irict surmounted with a figure OF Co
lumbia and containing figures represent
ing branches OF commerce and the arts
and sciences. The float could be pre-
ceded by a troop Of horsemen, each TO
represent State.
"Accompanyln this float could be four
others typical OF the North. South. East.
and West, with a SAvice showing the
communication with all sections OF the
country.
Another section Of the parade could
be composed OF displays by business
firms. each pOTtrayiug the past. present
and future OF his establishment. To
restriction should be placed on the mum
ber to enter. and they 10 be formed in
lines OF four or six abreast.
Provision could be made for part Of
the column TO be assigned to automO-
biles, which should also be formed four
plaster figures along the speedway
which might possibly be utilized for
the proposed parade.
There is no reason why the DISTRICT
OF Columbia should not have annually
a Washington carnival on lines similar
leans. Thousands Of business men
make New Orleans an objective point
on account of Mardi Gras. Should
Washington arrange for an anDual fes-
ttVal OF some character, merchants who
now omit the District in business trips
would include the Capital City in their
itinerary. Respectfully,
Fl. s. HODGSON,
Chairman Encampment Committee,
United Spanish War Veterans"

Railways Cooperating.
THE business organizations have been

CO-EDUCATION FAILURE

Previous to 1888 the boys and girls

WAGES CAMPAIGN
ON POSTAL ABUSES
Work of Wiping Out Big
Deficit in Receipts Pro-
crossing.
LAW VIOLATORS FOUND
Department Gets Answers From Al
legged Subscribers to Newspapers
and Magazines.

Following the recommendations or
Postmaster General CortelyOu In his
last annual report. a vigorous campaign
IS now being conducted by the Postofice
Department agoinst publications enjoy
ing the l-cenJ-a- pound postage rate. IN
violation OF the law.
This campaign is being made with a
view Of wiping out the deficit in postal
receipts. which last year amounted 10
more than S4o00.OJ0. and FOR which. Il
Is claimed these alleged publications are
responsible. The law admitting maga>
zines and other publications 10 the low
rate OF postage requires that each must
have a bona hde subscription list. snd
that the subscription must be paid for
In cash by the subscriber or some friend.
Subscription Lists Examined.
The department has obtained posses
sion OF the subscription lists Of many
OF these publications. and 1t Is sending
out thousands OF communications asking
those to whom this class Of publications
are mailed whether they or their friends
paid for the subscriptions
Many responses have already been re-
celved. and "a large proportion say the
paners IN question are beug mailed
without having been paid for.
When a number OF such answers re-
garding one publication are IN the hands
of the department the managers Of tho
publication are summoned and asked 10
show cause why they should not be de-
prived Of the privilege Of mailing their
publications at the l-cenJ-a-pound rate.
Unable 10 furnish a satisfactory rea-
bon. they are then denied the privilege,
and IN order 10 continue their business
must pay higher rate.
Cost of Handling Printed Matter.
IA his last annual report Postmaster
General Cortelyou said that IL cost the
Government from 20 cents a pound
10 handle mail matter Of all classes.
During the last fiscal year the total
weight carried at 1 cent a pound and
free was 663.107.13S pounds. II It cost
the Government cents a pound 10
handle this matter it viii be seen that
the amount paid out was $33 Il, ,S56. 40
The actual revenue was S6.lS6,64LA- The
situation now and for some time past.
says the Postmaster General. with re-
gard 70 the publishers Of bona fde
newspapers and periodicals, and to the
public itself. is wholly different from
that at the time the law was enacted.
The reform of the abuses against the
second class privileges was begun in 1901.
Many abuses have been eliminated but
the progress IS necessarily slow, due 10
the nature of the original law, and 10
the later statute OF March B. 1901, which
properly requires that when the priv
Uege has once been accorded IL shall
not be suspended or annUilcd without a
hearing of the parties interested
