New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-01-05

two schemes are proposed by which to
eliminate the deficit and simultaneously
reach certain class of an independent
press and curb its power. The first is a
direct increase in the rate for second
class postage and the second to throw
overheard the whole principle upon
which postal charges are based that of
one rate regardless of distance-and to
introduce 'szone system" of charges.
tits very strange, indeed, that in this
report there is no recommendation of a
parcels post, such ae every other civil
Iized country possesses, and the estab-
lishment of which would pay the deficit
many times over. But the express com.
panies object to a parcels post.

The POstOHice Deficit.

Valuable information is found in Post
elaster General Hitchcock's annual re-
port. Almost S64,O0O,000 is lost on
second class matter, which, while it
pays only one cent a pound, costs the
government over nine cents to handle.
Newspapers, especially of the Sunday
supplement sort. are by far the heaviest
drain. So long as the deficit amounted
TO only few millions and did not in
crease in proportion to the growth of
the service, it attracted little attention,
but when in the last few years it leaped
upward to $l0,000, 900 and finally in 1909
exceeded ST., 100000 ordinary business
praaenes suggested that the causes de-
initely be located. The Investigations
made have established that the second
class mail matter and the rural free de-
livery system were the great sources of
loss. So says Mr.. Hitchcock who is
very much alarmed at the increasing
postal deficit. He finds that while the
carrying of first class mail brings in a
huge profit there is deficit of S65,0O0,-
900 on the second class. There is nc
consideration of how much of the other
class of mail is sent as a result of the
publication of the journals that are car.
ried as second class, consideration
that goes far to destroy the whole argu.
ment.
A careful study of what Mr.. Hitch.
cock has to say gives to the unpreju.
diced mind the impression that the
whole animus of the report is directed
at the magazines and the weekly anc
monthly publications in general. Moth
lng is said regarding the enormous
amount the government pays to the rail
roads. These receive $50, 100000 year
and in spite of the assurance of the re
port that this sum is now fixed by com
petitive weighing and cannot be reduced
it is notorious fact that the priyat
mail car graft, by which some of th,
cars are paid for two or three times
year, would more than account for th,
whole actual deficit of SIT 100000. Blu
there is no suggestion that this graf
should be interfered with. However
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-01-05

Mr.. Han0taux, distinguished
French statesman, formerly minister
OF foreign affairs and familiar with
current opinion in European 6iplo-
macy offers this rather unexpected
prophecy: "Every cIairvoyant Euro
pean statesman now foresees the
probability of American imperialistic
action. 1t is the constant pre- occupa-
tion of Emperor WilIiam''. If that is
the way things are moving, very few
OF US know it, and it is safe to say
that the preponderance Of American
sentiment and reason is against all
such acknowledgements as a general
principle. In fact our experience with
adventures ia this field has not been
so fortunate as to encourage the ma
sion to engage in career of i'm
perialism which is polite word for
conquests. This is the sober sense of
the American people in quiet times,
but it must be admitted that they are
sometimes carried off their feet by the
emotions Of a moment Dewey's so
tal3ed victory in Manila bay created
such wave of sentiment that we
bought by consequence the Philippine
archipelago for $4,000, ZOO and have
been sorry for it ever since. Now if
some one Or other of the presidents
that run things to suit themselves or
an American trust in Central America
should goad us into actual war, the
people might easily be led into making
demands for territorial recompense.
Look at Cuba. It appears to be con-
coded that sooner or later the island
will become part Of the possessions Of
the United States. It is not i'm
possible that we are drifting into
imperialism without suspecting it and
in large measure. contrary to the best
judgment of our own people.

What has become of that beautiful
custom that was in vogue years ago of
exchanging visiting new years cards
Immediately after the new year had
been ushered in? Time may have
proved that it wasn't so nice and
necessary after all, but we always
liked it, because it had a tendency to
bring the people into closer touch and
give them the proper New Year spirit.

Another custom that has always
appealed to us, has apparently gone
into disuse. And that was the calls
made by the young men on New
Years day. Is it due to lack OF
chivalry on the part of the young men
or do they lack the physique to un-
dergo the ordeal that the new years
calls have been tabooed?
