More Pay for Rural Carriers,

We note with satisfaction the an
nouncement from Washington that
Postmaster General Hitchcock has or
dered the disbursement of $4.OOO.O0O
in the current fiscal year, for increases
in the salaries of rural carriers. The
effect will be to increase the salaries
OF all rural carriers on standard routes
from 5000 TO $1,000 per year, with
proportionate increases on similar
routes
This action on the part of the gov
eminent Will prove gratifying to the
population which is served by these
carriers 1t means coming nearer to
what these men earn who battle with
all sorts of weather and all kinds of
travelling throughout the year. No
branch of the public service is repre-
scented by a better class of men than is
the rural delivery service, and no class
of men who serve the public are more
popular with those for whom thev
work than are they.
The rural free delivery system was
started 10 years ago. 1t increased
from SO carriers at a cost of $18,340
for the fiscal year 1897 to 1866 car
riers at cost of $24,201,52o for the
hscai year 1906. A large growth has
also taken place within the last five
years, the cost of the service having
increased about $4,000 900. On June
| 80 last, there We're 4O562 rural car
riers, and their aggregate salaries for
the fiscal year just ended was about
SS5,793,O0O When the system was
established, the carriers received ahont
$500 per annum. The next wear the
maximum was increased to $500 and
the following year to $500. In 1904 n
had been increased to 1920 per wear
and in 1907 had gone up to 5000. Now
1t is $1,000. This last increase was
partly induced by Mr.. Hltchcock's de-
sire to give the rural carriers COM
lpensation to cover any additional bur-
den to be placed on them by the par
GELS post system, which he had recon-
mended for the rural routes.
Thus We see that in the current ifs.
cal year, it win cost the government
about $4O00o0OO to maintain the rura

delivery service. At present, the SER
vice is being conducted at a loss o.

Has the Saving Grace Of Humor.

About the first of May. printers
We're asked to bid on the State print
ing. Bidders were required to en-
close with their bids certified check
of $500 for each class on which they
bid. The publishers of the Kennebec
Journal entered bids ON all five classes,
and hence was obliged to forward, with
their bids, five certified checks of $500
each.
At the June meeting of the Governor
and Council, awards were made on
four of the five classes of State print
ing Four of the bids of the Kenne-
bee journal having been rejected. the
proprietors naturally expected the
prompt return of the checks accom-
psnying these bids. Not receiving
them up 10 that date, ON July the fol-
lowing letter was sent to the Governor
and Council:
I'VE notice by the papers of June S0th
that the awards have been made on the
printing in classes A. B. d. and F.. This
being so is there any reason why our
checks sent you with our bids on the
classes awarded should not be returned
to US? AS these were certified checks we
are paying interest on these amounts
until returned.
We were somewhat surprised on
Saturday forenoon, to be told, over
the phone. that our checks had been
retained until the bonds had been fur
nished by the parties TO whom awards
had been made, and the contracts
signed (Which would be at the meet
ing of the Governor and Council this
week. and that this was done to safe
guard the State. in case there was
disposition or inability on the part
of any of the parties to whom awards
had been made. TO sign the contracts
or furnish the bonds.
Considering the fact that one of the
successful bidders still owes several
paper concerns for stock entering into
the State work on his contract oil
two years ago, we are not surprised
at the lack of confidence, in the above
instance, on the part VI ihe N'' ~
and Council. but just why the Ken
nebec Journal should be held as a
hostage we are unable to see.
Apropos to the above would this not
be good opportunity for the Governor
and Council to put ban upon the
States receiving and using unpaid-tor
goods
BY requiring this bidder TO pay for
the unpaid for stock used in his state
contract of two years ago, before clos
ing a new contract with him, undoubt-
edly would produce that result.

Foresees Momentous Changes.

Col. Albert Clarke secretary of the
Home Market Club, Boston, has re-
Gently devoted some time in Washing
ton TO a study of political conditions.
He reports that the Canadian reel
procity" measure is likely to pass the
Senate before the first of August. He
believes that the regular Republicans
and Democrats will join in voting
down all amendments the insurgents
may propose, and that Congress will
then adjourn without passing any
tariff bill. But he foresees the Re
publican insurgents hand in hand with
the Democrats next winter. in over
hauling the tariff schedule by sehed-
ule. Mr.. Clarke predicts, as the result
of this action. that for some time
prior to his denomination and perhaps
afterward, Mr.. Taft will be called
upon to sign or to veto numerous bills
reducing the duties. Col Clarke con-
eludes that so-called Canadian reci-
proeity is knocking the bottom out of
the tariff" as a national policy.
That is precisely what the Kenne-
bee Journal foresaw and predicted,
months ago. After all the years in
which the farmers of the United
States have stood behind the protee-
tive laws to build up our industries TO
a point where they might compete
with the world. the farmers find them
selves the first victims of an attempt
to overthrow the entire policy. The
manufacturers have shrewdly main
tanned friends at court, and when the
first radical experiment was made it
was made at the expense of the
100000 farmers who have stood
loyalty for the countrys interests,
while the manufacturers private in
terests remained untouched. and at
the same time, the. o-reciprocityites
heap insult upon injury by denouncing
the farmer as unsportsmanlike, a
squealer, fool, and a follower after
selfish interests.
Col. Clarke predicts. as the outcome
dire financial and Industrial eondi-
lions and momentous political changes.
But whatever may come, we do not
feel that the great majority of the
farmers of the United States can be
held responsible.
