Wipins Out of Postal Deficit.

For many years there has been
deficit I'm the operations of the post
office department which has been met
by appropriation from the treasury.
The appropriation estimated for last
year from the treasury over and above
the receipts of the department was
$1T,500O00. | am glad to record the
fact that Of that ST., 100000 estimated
for $11,JO0,O00 were saved and return
cd to the treasury. 1t is gratifying
to report that the reduction in the
deficit has been accomplished without
any curtailment of postal facilities.
Upon the recommendation of the
postmaster general / have included in
the classified service all assistant post
masters. and l believe that this giving
secure tenure TO those who are the
most important subordinates of post
masters will add much to the efficiency
of their offices and an economical adj
ministration.

coal taras.


The next subject. ard one most inn
portant for your consideration. Is the
disposition OF the coal lands in the
United States and in Alaska. At the
beginning OF this administration there
We're classified coal lands in tile Unit
ed States amounting TO j.41G.000 acres.
and there were withdrawn from entry
for purposes Of classification 1857 900
acres. Since that time there have been
withdrawn by my order from entry
for classification TS.07I.7l5 acres. max
ing total withdrawal OF 0G,S44.T45
acres Meantime OF the acres thus
withdrawn 10,GGl $50 have been classl-
fed and found not to contain coal and
have been restored TO agricultural en-
try and 4,72G09l acres have been clas-
sifed as coal lands. while T0.9O3.230
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
337O00 acres have been classified as
coal lands without prior withdrawal.
thus increasing the classified coal lands
TO 10.420.3T2 acres.
The question as TO how great an
area ought to be included in lease to
one individual or corporation is not
free from difficulty. but in view of the
fact that the government retains con
troll rs owner think there might be
some liberality in the amount leased
and that 300 acres would not be too
great a maximum. The leases should
only be granted after advertisement
and public competition.
The secretary Of the interior thinks
there are difficulties IN the way of
leasing public coal lands. | entirely
approved his stating at length in his
report the objections In order that the
whole subject may be presented TO
congress. but after full consideration
i favor a leasing system and recon-
mend 1t.

occurrence oil and gas cannot be

Water Power Rates.
The water power sites subject is one
that calls for new legislation. II has
been thought that there was danger
of combination TO obtain possession OF
all the power sites and to unite them
under one control Whatever the evil
dence of this or lack OF 1t, at present
we have had enough experience to
know that combination would be prof
liable. and the control of Il great num-
Der OF power sites would enable the
holders or owners to raise the price
Of power at will within certain sec
lions. and the temptation would
promptly attract investors. and the
danger of monopoly and cxtortion
would not be n remote one.
However this may be. 1t is the plain
duty of the government TO see to IL
that I'm the utilization and develop
ment of all this immense amount Of
water power conditions shall be i'm
posed that will prevent extortionate
charges, which are the usual accompa
niment Of monopoly.

Parcels Post.

With respect TO the parcels post,
respectfully recommend its adoption
on all rural delivery routes and that
eleven pounds, the international limit,
be made the limit of carriage In such
post. The postoflice department has n
great plant and great organization,
reaching into the most remote hamlet
of the United States, and with this
machinery IL Is able to do great
many things economically that II Il
new organization were necessary 1t
would be impossible to do without eX-
travagant expenditure. That is the
reason why the postal savings bank
can be carried on ut small additional

porate at very inconsidcrable ex-
pcnse n parcels post in the rural de-
livery system.

Judicial Procedure.


One great crying need In the United
States is cheapening the cost of litiga-
ton by simplifying judicial procedure
and expediting final Judgment. Under
present conditions the poor man Is at
woeful disadvantage in a legal con-
test with corporation or rich op-
ponent. The necessity for the reform
exists both In United States courts
and In all state courts. In order to
bring IL about, however, II naturally
falls TO the general government by its
example TO furnish model to all
states. A legislative commission APP
pointed by joint resolution of congress
to revise the procedure in the United
States courts has as yet made no re-
port.
/ am strongly convinced that the
best method of improving judicial pro-
cedure at law Is to empower the SUI
preme court to do 1t through the me-
dunn of the rules OF the court. as I'm
equity. This is the way In which II
has been done In England.

Than Otherwise.

the season on the nerves Of the
fans. Collins pitching for the
home team was wild, and "Rasty"
Wright umpired like he had about
thousand bones bet on Tacoma.
Collins forced in Tacoma's first
score by walking four men in the
first inning, and then he loosened
for two hits that swelled Tacoma 8
score to five runs for a starter.
Annis, the Tiger twirler, was hard
enough to hit at best, but his
honor, the "Umps," was persistent
in giving him the best of decisions,
and before the game was over the
fans generally began to consider it
more of contest between the In
dams and the umpire than other
wise.
Collins quieted down a little in
the second inning and retired the
Tigers without another run, but he
celebrated the opening of the third
by poking one over which Stevens
took in for a triple. Here Captain
Ostdiek beckoned him out of the
box, with the intention of substi-
tuting Bonner. the man with fat
ankles and elephantine physique,
but Bonner wore a last years base
ball shirt and Wright refused him
admission to the pitchers box
while thus clad.
Because of this decision Collins
was sent back to pitch, and Blank
enship, manager of the Tigers, an
nounced that because of that move
he was playing the game under pro-
test, in case Spokane won. He
isn't in protesting mood today,
however. Collins was quite badly
off at times and thoroughly uncer-
tain at all times thereafter, and
with the cOngenial assistance of
the umpire Tacoma easily got away
with the II to 5 victory.
After driving the ball to center
field in the fifth inning, for dis
lance that was good for three
Dagger, Collins was called out by
the umpire for an alleged failure
to touch second sack. "Rasty" was
about the only one who appeared
to see that misstep on the part of
the Indian pitcher. and he was
branded as a "robber" forthwith.
In truth the game was rotten
enough, but the umpire made it
worse. For further details you
might read this score:
