RURAL CARRIERS PAY

An amendment will be offered by SEN
ator Bankhead, of Alabama, to the Post.
Office Appropriation Bill to increase the
pay Of rural mail carriers, who will be
divided into ten classes, with salaries as
follows: Routes of "a miles or more,
$3.50; % to "a miles, $3.50; 20 to % miles,
$3.50; 1S to 20 miles, $3.50; l8 to IS miles,
$3.50; II to 16 miles, $3.50; 10 to IL miles,
$50; 8 to 10 miles, $475; 6 to 8 miles, $4S5.
This scheme would call for about s., 600, :
600 additional from the Treasury. The
carriers are said to WELD an influence in
rural sections and are out for raise with,
it is thought, = fair chance to win recog-
nitIon Of their claims. The rural carriers
Of this county are much interested in the
proposed amendment, as they viii receive
much larger compensation under its pro-
visions.

BACK TO THE FARM

The greatest cause for increased cost Of
living" in the United States is too large
percentage of labor producing luxuries
and too small a percentage producing
neeessaries.
Necessaries are food and drink, cloth
ing and housing, and all things that help
OF cheaper their production.
The ideal nation is the nation that uses
only what is absolutely necessary in guam
tity and quality to bring up the individ-
ual's productive power to its most eiiec-
tive point in producing the neeessaTies OF
life.
France more nearly approaches this
ideal than any other nation, and the,
United States is further away from this
ideal than any other nation.
Every bottle of champagne drunk, every
canvas-back duck eaten, and the original
cost and the cost of maintenance of every
pleasure automobile in the United States
is q dead loss to this nation, because il
does not add even an infnitesimal point
to the individual, and 80 with every,
luxury.
The worlds food producers are not
keeping pace in numbers with the worlds
food consumers.
Back to the farm is the only remedy
for the above.

The case brought forth considerable
legal argument and Handy and Adams
for Carroll, we're opposed by WhitemaD
and Townsend for DeVslinger. The argO-

long and all of the counsel addressed.
The principal questions examined in the
case was as to the value Of goods that
DeValinger had in the hotel, be claiming
them to be worth $500, while the plain
tiff declared them to be worth no more
than 81 900. The remainder OF the testi.

been made, and as to the amount Of
money DeValinger had received by TAX
