WHY DISCRIMINATE

From Pennington On. NJ Times Hustler
President Taft Complains that the
postoffice department does not pay it's
own expenses and proposes to raise the
rates on newspapers and magazines. But
why this discrimination in departments?
Does the war department pay? Does the
navy department pay? Certainly the dis
semination of useful knowledge Is as
worthy as the training of men to be
proficient in killing other men.
