Representative Lloyd Shows How the
Congress Gave Railroads That
Sum Improperly.

Representative James T. Lloyd, of
national congressional committee, on
March 10. 1908, exposed the f1agrant
theft Of the peoples money through
fine unfair weighing Of mails when Of
fetal tests We're made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
Mr.. Chairman, in delivering my ad-
dress few days since on postal con-
ditions, in discussing the interpreta-
ton Of the law as to the weighing Of
the mail, failed to state the law on
the subject, and l wish to do so now:
The average weight to be ascer-
tained, in every case. by the actual
weighing Of the mails for such num-
Der of successive working days, not
less than thirty, at such times after
June 80, 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years.
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
Until March 2. 1907, the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con-
sidered, so that the weighing covered
period of one hundred and five days
Instead of ninety successive days. In
other words, working days were con-
Strued to mean week days. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou changed this in
depreciation which had been accepted
as correct for over thirty years and
issued the following order as his con-
struction Of the law:
"'That when the weight Of mail IS
taken on railroad routes, the whole
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divsor for obtain
ing the average weight per day
This required in effect, that, in
stead Of dividing the number OF work
ing or week days in the weighing
period, the devisor should be the num-
ber Of days on which mail was actual
ly carried during the period. If it
was weighed one hundred and five
days. tie divisor to obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and five. II
the mail was not carried on Sunday,
the divisor would be ninety. This, as
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days, for the ac-
cumulated mail would be practically
the same whether carried in six days
| or in seven.
"The present postmaster general,
| seeing this predicament, issued another
order of construction. known as order
| 4lo,' which is as follows:
"That when the weight of mail is
taken on railroad routes tie whole
number of days included in the weigh
ing period shall be used as divisor
for obtaining the average weight per
day

the conduct of these officials? He
asked the legislature In March for
that amount for that purpose. This
was while the senate investigation
was In progress.
Surely II can not be that the gov
ernor was induced, as was openly
charged at the time, to lend himselr
to a scheme to head off the senate
committee. But II he believed his

lars worth of investigation last
March, how can he now praise and
commend them to the voters, without
qualification and without exception"
Misconduct found in one part of an
administration throws suspicion on
other parts which at the time may be
innocent. But wrong doing usually
has small beginnings. 1t cautiously
feels it's way, keeping up some pre-
tense of Justification. II not promptly
checked nibbles soon become bites,
and the evil example quickly spreads.
Vote the state House Honest.
The men of Ohio will vote their
various localities dry or wet, as they
choose, but they will vote the state
house honest from top to bottom and
from side to side. They will tolerate
there neither men who are not faith
full to the trust reposed in them nor
men who, for any reason, prove lack
ing in perception or diligence to de-
tect and thwart wrong-doers.
regret that time does not permit
me now to deal with the fast swelling
expenses of our state government
which are more than two and half
times greater under Governor Harris
than they were under Governor Camp
bell, although the population increas-
ed not more than one-quarter; with
the waste of public funds, as in the
instance of the institution for feeble
minded youth built at great cost and
never occupied, but going to ruin;
with the looseness which prevails in
many of our public institutions, lead
ing TO frequent scandals and some
times to indictments; nor with other
administrative matters of interest to
the people of the state who demand
for the public business the same dill
gent care and fidelity which their own
affairs require and receive.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1908-10-01

the policies to which they have COM
mitted their party are too plain to be
mistaken. So they longed for another
chance. to turn aside the attention
Of the voters.
Twelve years ago they found the
chance and for long time worked 1t
with their usual skill. Ignoring the
fact. wnicn they could not deny, that
the hard times Of the early ninettas
had begun under their rule and were
handed over by them to the Demo
Gratis, they forthwith falsely charged
them to the Democrats. When Re-
publican administration resumed con-
troll and the vast energy and re-
sources of our people again prevailed,
the opportunity was promptly seized
to claim all the credit for the pros
perity which resulted. So year after
year the people have been warned
not to open the door to the Demo-
Gratis, because hard times would sure'
ly slip In behind them. And the say
ing was verified again that a lie well
stuck to Is as good as the truth-for
a while.
But justice, though sometimes slow,
is always sure, and nearly year ago
while there was not Democrat any
where in sight of federal office, and
crops were good as we'll as every nat
ural condition, hard times came back
again and struck these pretenders

Ore Runs IOo$ to Each Ton.

A Pres ,ott dispatch says: s. G. John- son, Frank Bliss and Wiley Woodruff secured a two years lease on that part of the Postmaster mine above the low CT tunnel from the Oriental Mining Company yesterday. The ground leased is 1000 feet in length. Part of it is stopped a height of sixty feet. There is l6O feet of virgin ground be. tween the tunnel and the surface and that will be exploited by the lessees. Several shipments of high grade ore were made from the Postmaster to the Fl Paso smelters that gave returns of over l00$ to the ton. Several tons of gold bearing rock carrying values of l, ,300$ to the ton were taken from the tunnel while being pushed along the vein several years ago.
 The lessees will start work right away. A force will be started stoping and crosscuts will be run from the tun- nel to the footwall of the ledge where oAiOiO 10 o o"Ohpy 'ihSh Pdy oOICdh Ol sulphide ore exposed in crosscut now caved in. When the ledge is stopped to the surface the old stopes in the mine will be drawn, sorted and run through the mill.
 The mill is located within short distance from the mouth of the tunnel. Ore can be delivered in the plant from the mine at an expense of fifty cents a ton. The plant has capacity of forty tons in the twenty-four hours. The mill is under lease to H. E. Armitage, who is now running it on custom ores. Since it was started in operation by Armitage several lessees have com menced development of promising ledges in the district. Johnson, Bliss and Woodruff, however, are confident that they will be able to supply the plant with enough ore to keep it in steady operation as soon as they get the tunnel cleaned out and the stopes started.
 The mine is located half mile east of the properties of the Poland Min ing Company at Poland.
