POSTAL REFORM

WI HY should there be a postal
w deficit? 1t is tiresome to read
~ the United States postoffice has
the worst end of bad bargain and
cannot afford to give the people better
service, because it is already losing
heavily. AS every schoolboy knows,
it is losing heavily because our govern
ment insists on neglecting one of the
most important sources of postal rev.
enue-the parcels post. Figures often
talk more eloquently than words. There
is postal deficit of about $4,000. 0O0
This looks like a big figure, How
necessary" it is may be determined by
the fact the express companies divi-
dends amount to $24, 900, 900. To establish
a governmental carrier system would
solve the problem of the postoffice
deficit. There would not be any. In all
probability, there would be a surplus.
In 1888 congress reduced the rate on
seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and
plants to one cent for each two ounces.
which is the third class or printed mat
ter rate. Probably the express COM
panies were not looking as closely after
such "trifes" as they are now. These
articles may still be sent in the
domestic mails at a reduced rate.
1t would have saved the people un-
told millions in the form of deficits and
of dividends to stockholders if congress
had made the act of 1885 apply to all
instead of only part OF the merchandise.
1t should now complete the job.

SEEKING A REAL CURE FOR
PROBLEMS IN FAMILY LIFE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2S.-[Editor
Herald: "The Writing on the Walr'
holds some of the questions that are
of the most vital interest to men,
women and children. First, we have
some plain truths about the "trinities"
of the world shutting out the sight Of
SHINING, sorrowing humanity by paint
ing their windows" Il have never
understood why the church made such
a distinction between painted windows
and painted faces.") The Writing on
the Wall" enlightened me somewhat.
Second-Of what use is all this ac-
cusing of husband by wife and wife
by husband if after it all they merely
forgive and forget, commencing those
dennoralizing scenes all over again. The
world says "for the children's sake"
oh. mol Barbara forgave after there
was no child. That excuse was taken

Railroads are putting on more trains
for the tourist rush. This will be one
of the greatest tourist and colonist

the new chulns who are now wearily
buffeting snow storms and wading
through drifts to reach railway stations
where they may purchase transporta-

enough. Most of them wish heartily
they could travel TO Los Angeles by

RUN OFF WALK BY ONE DOG,
TO BE BEsET BY ANOTHER

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27-[Editor
Herald: That the city is overrun with
dogs goes without saying, and why
a peaceful city like Los Angeles should
have several thousand vicious bulldogs
is more than I can see.
The average man has no more use for
a vicious bulldog than he has for a
tiger, for one is just about as much use
as the other.
The writer while coming home from
church Sunday on Leighton avenue was
run off the sidewalk by large brindle
bulldog, only to find on the other side
q collie ready to snap his heels
should offer as suggestion that If we
levy a license of SIS per annum on bull
bitches. $40 on other large varieties and
IS on little ones, there would soon be q
dearth of bull pups to annoy us.
