$4,SOO,OOO Is Paid
For Carrying the Mails

average of niJa cents pound to the
railways for carrying newspapers and
periodicals. President Taft, in his an
nual message, places the average dis
tance of haul of newspapers at 291
miles; of magazines, at 1,049 and OF
miscellaneous periodicals, 1,128.
The rate of the United States Elk
press company between New York and
Chicago. 900 miles is $3.50 a hun.
dred pounds. And that the express
company is making money at this
rate, is evidenced by the fact that in
addition to its annual dividend OF
about II per cent, the express com.
pany recently issued an extra dividend
of 800 per cent.
The first-class passenger fare from
New York to Chicago is SIS. A 200
pound passenger is thus carried 1000
miles at a rate of 3 cents pound,
while the railroads are charging the
government 8 cents a pound for haul
ing newspapers 291 miles, and mail
bags do not have seats, aisles, and
other conyeniences of air, light and
space.
A postal fact not generally known
as yet is that foreigners can use our
mails at lower rate than Americans.
On March last, President Taft con-
firmed postal conventions with Italy,
Germany and Austria, under which tSe
people of those countries are enabled
to send merchandise to the United
States at these rates:
From Italy, II pounds for 70 cents.
From Germany. II pounds for 81
cents.
From Austria, Il pounds for Sc
cents.
The arrangements thus permits an
Italian to send pound of merchan-
disc from Rome to San Francisco at a
far lower rate than it would cost an
American to send a pound to a resi-
dent of his nearest neighboring city.
The merchandise rate from Berlin to
any point in the United States is IL
cents pound, and the rate from New
York to Brooklyn, or between any
other two points u the UE9ted States
is l6 cents pound, parcels Weighing
more than four pounds not beiag ac-
ceptable unless addressed to foreign
countries.

Other papers have similar dis

the defamation of Mr.. Owen, the rep
resentative of Oklahoma's democracy
and of the people of Oklahoma In the

led by the matters quoted. If left un-
