SAVING THE PEOPLES MONEY

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
just made a public statement which
contains the interesting inform alton
that his department 10 not only becom.
ing self.sustaining but that this has
come about entirely through the saving
OF money by new and up.to.da ate meth.
DDS. The cost of operating the postal
department has increased enormously
in recent years, but this cost has been
more than met by the reorganization
OF the system, the discharge of all
mere haugers-on and political PEN
sioners, the adoption OF better Office
equipment and, in fact, by a general
cleaning up OF the musty old depart
ment.
What has been accomplished In the
postofice department can be accom-
plished in other departments of the
government, says the Kansas City
Journal. The cleanup plan was in.
augurated by President Taft q few
days after he took his oath OF Office.
The postofice department was chosen
as q starter because it was maintained
at such q tremendous actual loss to
the government. 1t vas here that the
demand for reform was most urgent
When the president appointed Mr.
Hitchcock postmaster general 1t wat
with the instruction that the entire
postal service should be reorganized
In the interest of economy, not by im'
pairing the service but by cutting of
the lockwood and adopting modern
business methods. During the las.
focal year Mr. Hitchcock returned to
the treasury about 5000, 900 that had
actually been appropriated to his de.
partment. He found when he had
cleaned house that he did not need all
Of the money that was coming to him.
Not only has this gratifying condition
of affairs been brought about, bul
the postmaster general believes the
day is not 90 far distant when the let,
ter postage rate will be reduced to one
cent.

which the president may be proud.

demand for reform in other depart
ments until the entire administrative
machinery is ss up to date IS any

PUTTING IT PLAINLY.

When it comes to putting q public
proposition plainly before the people
of the United States Theodore Roose-
welt always comes near to hitting the
bullseye. When Colonel Roosevelt,
retired from the presidency of the
United States he did 90 with the re-
spect and esteem OF the vast majority
of its people; they believed in him,
and they knew that he stood always
for the right, and for the truth; even
the democratic press accorded him
such praise as eve before has been
given to q living republican president
which might be mentioned as going
some.
When Colonel Roosevelt returned
from Africa the democratic press be-
came obessed of the idea that Colonel
Roosevelt would refuse to support the
republican party. and the new tariff
bill; just how this idea came into be.
ing is not clear, but was the most
pleasing morsel of the year in demo.
cratic circles, and Colonel Roosevelt
was lauded pleasantly through many
democratic sources because of it.
Colonel Roosevelt was going to
abuse the tariff bill. and that was
enough to make him q hero in demo.
cratic partisan circles. Unfortuna tely
for those who started on the wrong
bunch Colonel Roosevelt did nothing
OF the kind. and the situation was
made most embarrassing for that por.
ton of the democratic press which had
played the untrustworthy advance no.
tices too strongly. Colonel Roosevelt
Immediately became q bad man in the
eyes of the came press, and some very
uncomplimentary things are being
handed him by the disappointed parti.
sans. Not that it makes any particu.
lar difference to the strenuous EXPIRE.
sident, nor to the millions of people
who believe in him and know him to
be right; when Roosevelt sounds the
slogan, they answer the call!
Which leads back to the tariff ques.
ton, and the statement that Roosevelt
has the faculty of putting things plain.
ly, as evidenced in his speech in Bos.
ton the other day when he said:
"All that I ask is that the voters
compare the attitude of the two parties
in regard to the tariff. On the repub.
lican side there is no difference as to
the principle to be observed. In every
state the republicans are q unit in
adherence to the principle expressed
in the republican platform that there
should be az equaliza alton of the cost
of production here and abroad. The
difference has been merely as to the
way of achieving the common purpose
and more and more We are coming
into complete harmony as to the meth.
ode to be adopted. Our opponents
have no such harmony"
Which is about as pat as it could
be put, and furnishes in q paragraph
food for sober and unbiased refec.
ton or part of the American people.

Carey Land Act project at the new
town of Waller in Teton county has
come to q standstill; the reclaim alton

State Engineer Wade, Secretary of

they are doing all in their power to
move the contractors to again start
the work moving.
There is such q conflict of interests
and 90 many concerns and persons
involved in the Waller project that it
ia very difficult to arrive at q com.

The thing that stopped construction
work on the canals and bitches, and
left the settlers high and dry in the air

reclamation company, the Carglll.

purpose. 1t is stated by Mr.. Wade
that the company has met with two or

and in the meantime the reclamation

Another misfortune of the reclama.

to have been q millionaire. Mr.. Car.

funds for it's work. Upon his death,

The company is receiving S40.50 an
