his remarks to his own experience.
The newspaper rate for postage was
not made with any such understand
ing at all, either direct or implied.
If the express companies had any
thing to do with the newspaper post
age and the rate was made as a
bribe. Walker is the only man who
knew IL as far as the newspapers are
concerned.
The great opposition TO parcel
post does not come from the news
papers but from retailers of all the
cities in the country, who understand
that the great force behind the move
ment for a parcel post comes from
the mail order houses. There is as
much reason to SUPPOSE that the mall
order houses have "seen" walker as
to charge that the express companies
have seen the newspapers.
Probably the government would
carry packages cheaper than the ex'
press companies do and probably a
deficit would be made up by placing
q tax on some sort of property to
make It up. That Is what the post
Office department is doing.
Is Walker trying to divert atten-
tion from the main question? He
knows that the retailers are opposing
this measure and he knows that they
are as much Interested in its defeat as
the express companies. He knows
also that the big mail order houses
are using every effort to establish a

THE COST OF JINGoISM.

Those who would meet the issue of
Federal extravaganza must face
squarely the entire lingo programme.
There Is wasted in every department
of Government, but If an impression
is to be made upon the needless outgo
attention must be given to the eXpen-
ditures directly attributable to war.
with more than 81 of every $40
spent at Washington going for wars
past and wars to come, savings made
in other directions must be com
parauvely small There can be no
doubt too that the lavish appropri-
ations for war have served for many
years to encourage profligacy in ev-
cry branch of the public service.
Americans have long been acCus-
toned to Commiserate the nations OF
Europe which are groaning under
heavy armaments; yet there Is no ma
ton in Europe which pays so heavily
for war as we do. For the current
year our appropriations for militarism
are as follows:
Support of the army ....$tO1 ,OOO,O 900
Naval service .......... lS6OOO,OOO
Forts and fortfications. 100000
Military Academy $500. 100000
Pensions .............. 161, ,0OO,OOO
Interest on public debt. 21,000,000
Total $430, 500, 900
A close analysis of expenditures
under other headings, and taking due
account OF deficiencies that are sure to
appear, would probably show enough
more money going for purposes con-
nected with war-making to increase
the above total to $500, 100000.
That is more money than peace
able nation can afford TO spend every
year for war. II is twice as much as
the entire ordinary expenditures of
the Federal Government thirty years
ago. Neither Great Britain with its
