WHAT WE NEED MOST.

The editor has hopes that a
large number of the people who
are buying land in this county
will come here to make their
homes this fall or next spring.
During each excursion time he
tries to talk with the purchasers

during the past week he found
that many of them intended to
move here just as soon as they
could gather their crops this
fall This is as it should be.
What is needed most is more
farmers. Not better farmers.
for you will not find anywhere a
better class of farmers than we
now have, but they are too scat
tered. When we have farmer
on each quarter section of land

School Tax Amen dment.

leAdS an allSQulnent 10 llle
State Constitution for their rati-
tlcation or rejection. In order
that every one who does not al
ready know what the amendment
is may first learn its object will
try to give its substance as brief
ly and plainly As possible
The amendment authorizes
common school districts to levy
a special school tax not to exceed
30 cents on the 500 valuation of
property 1t also authorizes a
majority of the tax paying voters
to levy special tax if they de-
sire to have better school facili-
ties. In the first place, the arg
ument that it is right and just
should of itself be of sufficient
significance to Justify the adop
ton of this amendment by an
unanimous vote Its aim is to
give the same right to common
school districts which the indie
pendent districts now possess.
Almost daily we hear the quo
tation from prominent and hon
est citizens, Equal rights to all
and special privileges to none"
and there is no honest man but
would advocate this principle
What does that mean: It means
that one human being should
not in government be privileged
to any right that is taken
from or forbidden to another. .
What does the Constitution at
present do: The Constitution
as it now is, gives independent F.
districts the right to levy 30 cents
on the 500 valuation of property, /
while it forbids common districts
to levy more than ~ cents on the
500. Is this not giving a spec
ial privilege to the independent
districts: It is, and therefore it
should be speedily remedied.
What reason is there in max,
ing a limit in a common school
district lower than in the indie
pendent district: Do the coun-
try children not need as much
as the city children {:
Are the brains of the city chill,
dren naturally weaker than the
brains Of the country children.
that it takes better schools TO ed
ucate them. or do the country
children at the present time not
have a chance to receive as good
an education :
These quest ions are of course
EASILY answered. as we know
hat there is practically no differ
ence in the ability of the city

axes as good a school to educate

the official heads of the two nations of the truth of the assertion.
 To E,ihu Burritt, the "loarned blacksmith" will ever be given the honor and distinction of being the first to bring the matter of ocean penny postage to the serious attention of the people of the United States. Burritt was born in New Britain, Conn, and in 1s42, as editor of the Christian Ad- vocate, first agitated the reform. In those days Burritt was fighting for the freedom of the slaves and for inter. national peace, and in order to promote these reforms he organized the League of Universal Brotherhood. One of the clauses in the pledge of membership provided for the support of any move meth "for the abolition of al restric. tions upon international correspondence and friendly intercourse. He believed that the adoption of universal penny postage would mark long step in the direction of universal peace, and pre- sented that argument in the first In. ternational Peace Congress held in Brussels in lSiS.
 Tn result of the agitation begun by Burritt was gradual reduction of postage rates in the United States until the two-cent rate was established Oc. tober l, 1883. Just 8 quarter of cen. tury after that Burritt's dream was re-

dicted by some that the movement will progress rapidly and that in the near future the whole civilized world will enjoy the penny postage privilege.
 One hundred years ago writing to friend in England was well-nigh as expensive as cabling is today. By an act of congress in 1851 the rates were greatly reduced, but even then it cost 40 cents to send letter across--an now it costs but cents.
 In England the fight for cheape, postal rates began as far back as 1859 when private 'undertakers began an agitation for a limited postal service at penny rate. For more than a cen. tury this agitation was carried on, a. ways with strong opposition, and after two centuries of hard work on the other side it was taken up by Elihu Burrit: on this side of the ocean, who devoted large part of his active life to the re. form which his just been consummated And consummated in so quiet manner that probably not one person out of a hundred in the United States realizes that penny postage between the twu countries is at last a reality.
 In small volumne prepared by Fred J. Melville, president of the Philatelic Society of London and recently pub lished by Warren H. Colson, of Boston. a most interesting story of penny post. age is told. The little book is entitle "A Penny All the Way" and traces the history of agitation for cheaper postage from it's inception to the pres. ent day.
 To John Hill, who began the struggle for cheaper postage in England more than 200 years ago, is given much credit for bringing the great reform in. to existence. Two centuries after that period Rowland Hill took up the fight with the postal and treasury depart. ments of Great Britain and gave the greater part of his life to the work.
 For one yeor this fight for cheaper pos tai service was continued and then "the Council of Oliver, late Lord Pro tector," stepped in and let the con. tract to one John Manley, who had "neither spent money nor taken pains. The "undertakers" were driv. en out of the field by force of arms and they were compelled to "desist from
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-11-06

their lawful employment for tho ease and benefit of the nations"
 Thus the struggle went on, and al- though many times rebuffed and de. feated, John Hill continued the fight for improved and cheaper postal facil- ities to the end of his days. In 1859 he published phamplet under the cap. ton, "A Penny Post; or, A Vindica- tion of the Liberty and Birthright of Every Englishman in Carrying Mer- chants and Other Mems Letters Against Any Restraint of Farmers or Such Employments. l."
 That pamphlet Nontains about all that is known of the early history of the penny postage crusade And it laid the foundation for the campaign in after years. In his argument for q re- duccd postage Hill said "It flinders man to be as civil as otherwise he would, or might be, in having or re- turning an accompt to, or from his friend, many a man in these times being forced to set a greater value of six pence or three pence than of three times as much in former times, when money was more plentiful, and certain ly any man but farmer will confess it to be strange imposition, that t man cannot have an accompt of the con dition of his wife or family, without paying twice as much as he need; and it seems as unreasonable for man to be forced to pay three pence, for what may be done for penny, in relation to letters, as for man to be compelled to pay thrice as much for meat or any other comomdity as the price current. '
 Those were the days of government wra's penny post was fnall es, land and the efforts of patriots made but little way. In 1880 Robert Murray and William Dockwra established the London Penny Post,and after two years their enterprise was seized by the Duke of York, aftcrward James II, on the ground that it was an infringement of the postal monopoly. Dockwra had spent dil OL Hls pfiNdtc lOEtuue dnu that of his family and was graciously permitted to hold for several years af- terwsrd a small-salaried position in the postal service.
 As result of the satisfactory work ing of the methods of Murray and Dock wra 'swra's penny post was finally es- tablished by the government, but as it failed to produce the revenues desired was changed to two-penny post in 1901. In 170s Charley Povey set up what he called half-penny carriage and was tried and fined fl00 for his au. dacity.
 Then began the agitation for ocean penny postage. The thing had worked SO well in England that patriots on bith sides of the water began to urge its adoption in this country, and they contended also that letters could be car ried across the ocean for l penny with a profit to both governments. It took half century, however, to convince

GRANTING OF PENNY POST BE TWEEN HERE AND ENGLAND
Fight Began in 1659-Was Started in This Country by Elihu Burritt, Edi- tor of Christian Advocate and "Ed- ucated Blacksmith.

NEW TORY, Nov. 5.-After nearly three centuries of earnest effort on the part of manyof the brightest minds of two continents, penny postage has been established between the United States and Great Britain. At midnight on Setpember 30 men contended with ono another in the New York postoffice for the privilege of mailing the first letter to cross the Atlantic under the new law, which went into effect October l.
 Through the efforts of tho Postmas- ters General of the two countries, George von l.. Meyer, in tho United States, and tho Right Honorable Syd- ney Burton, in England, the matter was accomplished. It seemed easy enough when they went about the mat ter in businesslike fashion, but it required hundreds of years to bring about conditions in which the thing was possible.
 Now it costs no more to send letter to any point in Great Britain thau it does to send one across the Brooklyn bridge and the important question with many is, "When will we have penny postage to all parts of the world'' That uniform cheap postage the world over would mean universal peace has been the opinion advanced for many years, and now that the two great Eng fish speaking countries have been brought into closer relations, it is pre-

 None can deny after all that has been done in postal progress since ls40, that universal penny postage is no wild dream. That it is coming by degrees, and that it will be at no great distance of time completed must be obvious, and we may look not unreasonably to our great powers to prepare the way for the next postal union congress, at Madrid, to carry resolution in favor of uni. versal penny postage. And after uni versal penny postage what then7 The parcels post, the half-penny universal post card, the half nenny inland letter and in Great Britain the levelling of newspaper and magazine rates may be the next matters for the reforming Postmaster General.
