The great lesson IL teaches is that of
living within ones means, showing the
Inevitable consequences of extrava-

forms. The play also touches upon
other things which contribute TO mat

of the plot, some rather delicate ques-

more good than harm is derived there
from.

POSTAGE
MAY BE REDUCED
REDUCTION TO ONE CENT FAV-
oRED BY BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATION RECENT
LY ORGANIZED.

A vigorous movement of interest to
every business man in the country, has
been started recently in Cleveland,
the purpose of which is the reduction
of letter postage from two cents To
one cent an ounce. The movement
has been received with favor in other
cities and it appears to be gaining
ground rapidly.
Some of the leading business men
OF the country have organized the
National one Cent Letter Postage
association, with headquarters i'm the
Cleveland Chamber of Commerce
building. Its purpose is 10 make a
concerted effort to get the first class
postage rate reduced from two TO one
cent an ounce. The letter postage
bills of business houses in every line,
with the passage Of such a measure,
would be cut exactly in half.
The association is combining itself to
securing this single reform. Cleveland
was selected as its headquarters be-
cause the active officers are residents
of that city. Chas. w Burrows, head
OF one of the largest book stores in
the country, is president, and George
II. Mcintosh, former head of the Nc
Intosh Hardware corporation of Cleve-
land. is secretary and treasurer. Pro-
minent business men i'm various cities
throughout the United States are on
the advisory board.
No opposition has developed TO the
The propaganda is spreading and bus
mess men are being asked to get i'm
touch with the association. 1t is be-
lieved that once the business men of
the country are united behind this
movement, a one cent rate can be Sc
cured. The following reasons are Civ
en- why the postage rate on first class
mail should be reduced:
First-Because the government is
making an enormous profit from first
class mail In 1909 the Government
realized Gprofit of oyer $5S.OOO,OOO,
which in 1pab. it is estimated, had in
creased tonabout $59,OOO,OOO on first
class mail.VtIt lost heavily, however,
on other branches of the service.
Second-Because the department is
at present receiving revenue of
about sac per pound for letter postage,
the cost ofJconveyipg WHICH. is less
than half that sum. TIE pI6rit is ov-
er so per cent.
Third-Because frst-class mail is
less than 1914 per cent of the total
tonnage carried, though IL pays over
65 per cent of the total revenue of the
department. 80 h 81
Fourth-Because, with the entirely
fair and reasonable rate of one cent
for the letter weighing one ounce or
less, the business man would still be
an amount, that would
allow a profit for the average of his
letters.
