RETR[NCHMENT PLAN
DISCUSSED
POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCH
COCK TELLS OF POLICY or
THE DEPARTMENT.

Seattle, Sept eo.-Speaking before
the Washington posimasters' conven-
ton today. Postmaster General Frank
II. Hitchcock discussed at great length
the new policy Of retrenchment inau-
gurated by him under instructions
from President Taft Mr.. Hitchcock
said that he did not believe In making
an effort to get rid Of the entire deficit
OF s2n.o0o.00a, as the main purpose of
the department is efficient service. and
this the public is willing to pay for.
Concerning the report made by the
commission appointed to devise means
of reducing the deficit. Mr.. Hitchcock
said that besides an increase In the
registry fee from s to 10 cents, the
commission also recommended the es-
tablishment Of a package registry
service, with a fee of cents. The
department has not reached a decision
on the recommendation. Concerning
the rural delivery service, Mr.. Hitch
cock said:
This service Is Invaluable and the
department does not purpose to cur
tail 1T in any way. II Is placing many
millions In direct communication with
the leading markets OF the country
and Is aiding In the financial AMI
commercial upbuiiding of the nation.
There IL also a social hetterment that
Is effected by the service that should
not be overlooked. The service IL
growing rapidly. Last year II cost
s35.000.o0o and brought In revenue
of only s1o,ooo.ooo. making a net loss
of s25,00o.o00. 1t il not expected to
wipe out the deficit, but to guard
against Its increase and to reduce 1t
IL possible. We have various other 1
plans In accordancef with the presi-
dents policy OF sretrenchment These
will be announced later"

Emphatic Denial.

sydney, Sept. 20.-Commander Pearv
has given emphatic denial to the as
sertion credited to DIR. Cook that he
told the Eskimos at Annatook that Dr
Cook was dead and that he conse-
qffntiy would take possession of the
supplies left there by Cook.
As nearly as can be ascertained from
members of the Roosevelt's crew. the
house built by DIR. Cook at Annatook
and left In charge of Rudolph Francke
was found unoccupied when the
Roosevelt arrived. Francke was away
trying to get passage home. his au-
thority for his departure being a let
ter he exhibited purporting to be from
DIR. Cook at Cape Thomas.
Francke sought permission to go to
the United States on the Peary auyi,
larry ship Erik. This was granted him
ana he turned over an inventory of
the supplies in DIR. Cooks house.
Boatswain Murphy was then placed In
charge of the house and its contents,
He says he found many packages had
been broken open and their contents
partially or totally removed. The
stores were checked and the house,
which Is built of boxes, was taken
down and regretted a short distance
away on higher ground
When DIR. Cook returned to Anna
took he complained about the oecupa-
ton of the house and it's removal to a
new position. Murphy says he ex-
planned the situation fully to DIR. Cook.
who appeared satisfied, and it was
agreed that the house should be oc-
cupied Jointly. The boatswain says
he Offered to vacate Immediately. but
As everything had been satisfactorily
explained this was not thought neces-
sary.

THE TRAVELLING HYPNoTIsT.

Many good women Of Salt Lake as
sembled at a club of their own one
evening recently, and listened to a lee
turer who told them the travelling hyp-
notist was a very dangerous and harm
ful person.
He probably is all of that But he is
much more. He is a miracle of a nui-
sance. He can make no exhibition
without willing helpers from his own
audience-people who have paid: and
who know they are going to be made
victims of their servant for the amuse-
ment Of other people who also have
paid.
When one goes to an entertainment
Of any kind, paying the regular price
of admission, he has a right to expect
the man getting the money viii pro-
vide the show. It is an fnsolence to ask
volunteers from the audience. Unless
these volunteers have been provided
beforehand. In that case, it is fraud.
There is a class Of comedienne who
directs her songs at some one or two or
more men IN the audience. This class
violates every rule of the stage. and is
known simply as a maverick from the
lowest variety halls.
But the hypnotist is even worse, be
cause he demonstrates the fdiocy of
the patrons he uses. Added to that is
the undoubted fact that he inhicts in
jury on those volunteering from the
audience to help him entertain the rest
Of the people who, relying on the ac-
tor alone, would not be entertained at
ALL
Every consideration Of pride and self
protection and common honesty unite
to discourage the travelling hypnotist.
Nothing can discourage the music
hall maverick, because she has left de-
cenCy behind her.

PROBLEM OF THE TAX RATE.

Not long ago an official in the state
of Utah said people would vote down
any proposition to at all change the
present revenue system. He would not
say the present is a good one, nor that
the proposed system of assessing all
property at its actual market value.
and lowering the rate. would not be
good. He simply grinned, shook his
head, and declared the people would not
indorse any change.
That doesn't look like a fair estf-
mate of Utah people. Here is a state
actually worth nearer a billion than
two hundred million dollars. We should
be proud to claim every dollar to which
by the facts we are entitled. The gov
eminent can find every year at least
six hundred million dollars of assess
able property in the state. And the
government doesn't find any that isn't
here.
Because our people have undervalued
their own possessions. they have a tax
rate so high it scares every one who
hears about it. Eight mills for state
purposes is a tremendous cold blanket
on the enthusiasm Of the eastern man
who has begun to believe in the sound
ness Of Utah investments. And that
is the present rate.
Surely the sound sense of our people
viii not take the discouraging view ad-
vanced by the state official Surely
they win see the wisdom of valuing
taxable property at what it is worth,
and then lowering the rate, as provided
in the constitution.
It has been suggested that if the true
valuation is confessed, school and city
corporations would continue levying the
old rate on the new assessment-and
give themselves five or ten times as
much money to spend as they have at
present Any city or school official who
would favor such q course would better
check his baggage for the farthest land
ing on Salt Creek-for that is where

FALSE EIRE ALARMS.

There is a curious kind of intellec-
tuality which expresses itself from time
to time in turning in false fire alarms,
and causing men and animals of the
department to go on a wild goose chase
for nothing.
The people who turn in false alarms
rarely are caught. And that is unfor-
tunate, because it would be so com
Portable to know that the fellow who
finds it pleasant has been beguiled to
the rear Of an engine house now and
again, for a session with the most
capable man in uniform. It is a case
which never ought to go to the courts,
because a little manhandling would
have so much more of a lettering eff
feet.
Aside from the objection that need
less labor and unnecessary risks are
involved, is the fact that fremen can
not know the difference between a false
and a genuine call. So they answer
all of them. And in a recent run
solely for the amusement of the cTea-
ture who thought it funny-one of the
firemen was thrown from his seat and
escaped a broken neck only because of
his very strong arms.
The department is at the mercy of
the practical joker, just as the COM
munity is at the mercy Of the incen-
diary; or the railroad company is at
the mercy of that occasional abnormal
freak who bitches the train just to
hear the wounded passengers scream.
All three are in the same class. And
without detection there is no means Of
stopping the fun. But if the joker
could know how glad the fremen would
be to talk with him a bit back Of the
stalls, he would be sport enough to
carry his joke to the limit, and brag
Of what he had done.
We don't think he would ever after
ward find any fun in it.

ABOVE THE ORDINARY LAW.

Every little while you run across a
man who thinks he is too good to be
classified. He rebels at joining the
Great Alike. He knows he is different
from other men, and that ordinary
rules do not apply to him. He is above
them-he is that good
Meantime, he expects to live in a
community where every one else takes
place in a class, whatever it may be.
No matter how original or strong or
useful the sensible man is. ne recog-
nizes the fact that in a civilized COM
munity-and because it is that kind of
a communicate obeys the laws that
the rest have made. And thereby he
helps make even more effective those
same laws.
The man who viii not be classified
becomes a nuisance from the day you
first meet him. And presently he is a
disaster-to himself, and to every one
who has made common lot with him.
There are only a few people in all
the world big enough to get into a
class by themselves, superior to the
rules and judgments of the rest of
mankind
And they don't make any noise about
it. They don't object to being classified.
But the world doesn't classify them,
because their great works-and not
their bOasting-makes them immune.

All Of which is extremely interesting
for those who go across the ocean.
What would be more to the point would
be series of articles explaining to the
American citizen who stays at home
how he will get his dinner and his shave
and his shine and a few other things
without yielding to the temptation to
tip.
The transatlantic traveller never
again sees the wights who wait on him.
But the inescapable feature of the stay
at-home is that his waiter and his bar
Der know him. Which is a much more
burning question than the European
gratUities.

GRAND ARMY oF PEACE.

Yesterday forenoon an army of work
| ingmen marched in the presence Of the
people. Their column reached from
Fourth South to the monument, around
it and down to Fourth South again.
Most of the delegations went four
abreast. and they kept just enough open
order so that no man need stop on the
heels of the marcher in front of him.
That viii give you an idea of how many
there were in the army.
1t was an army of peace. Most of
these men have homes of their own.
Those who have not yet provided them
selves with a bit Of the earth, aTe-fOr
the great part-heads of little families
in which love and honor and industry
glorify the homes, and make for the
character of Americans. And all of
the rest expect and hope to have that
kind of a home before long.
Those are the best citizens in the
world. The nation armed with such
men will always be free and indepen-
dent, because the manhood of its toilers
is free, and forever Independent.
The most distinctive feature about
the members of this grand army is
that they are giving something for
what they get. They get money for
their work, it is true. And the very
first tenet Of their creed is that they
do the work And they do it we'll It
is their pride that they do it a little
better than it could be done in the alb
sence of their organization. They rem
| der value received for every favor that
capital gives to them.
Salt Lake gave a holiday in honor of
labor. Most Of the stores were closed
and locked, as if here were a solemn
demonstration, a religious festival. And
in truth there can be no festival more
solemn no demonstration more deeply
religious than that which marks the
rise and progress Of the wage earners
of a nation. Because it was an army
Of peace and not of war, because it
was an army that fights with the crea-
tive weapons of brain and mind in
stead of the destructive sword and gun,
because it gives full value received in
stead of pretending compensation-the
people of Salt Lake yesterday cheered
the marchers as the mighty column
passed.
The numbers of them, the appearance
of them, the manner in which they kept
their holiday won for organized labor
an even higher place in the hearts of
all people than they held before. A
cause so just and an army so strong
must always be applauded.
