New Rates Recommended.

The Recommendation Of the commission
as to the postage rates on second-class
mail are as follows:
1. The rate Of cents q pound on
copies mailed by publishers, to subscrfb-
ers. to news agents and as sample copies.
and by news agents to their subscribers
or to other news agents.
.. The rate Of cent for each four
ounces for copies mailed by other than

EQUITY in Rates Desired.

The postal service is now, for the first
time in years. operated upon self-sus-
tanning basis, and in my Judgment this
is a wise policy; but it should not be car
ried out at the expense of certain classes
Of mail matter that pay revenue largely
in excess of their cost. 1t Is not just
that some classes of mail should be ex-
brilliantly taxed to meet deficiency
caused by other classes, the revenue from
which is much below their cost Of ham
ding and carriage. Where such in
equalities exist they should be removed
enterprises Of the publishers OF periodi-
Gals, however, have been built UP on the
basis of the present second-class rate, and
therefore it would be manifestly unfair
to put into immediate effect a large in
crease in postage. That newspapers and
magazines have been potent agencies for
the dissemination of public intelligence
and have consequently borne a worthy
part in the development Of the country
all must admit, but 1t is likewise true
that the original purpose of Congress IN
providing for them subvention by way
OF nominal postal charges in considera-
ton of their value as mediums of public
information ought not to prevent an in
crease. because they are now not only
educational but highly profitable. There
is no warrant for the great disparity be-
tween existing postage rates on periodi-
calls and the cost Of the service the gov
eminent performs for them. The ag-
gregate postal revenues for the fiscal
year 1911 were $237 1913, S23.6U. derived
mainly from the postage collected on the
four classes Of mail matter. 1t Is care
fully estimated by the Post ONCE De-
partment that the revenue derived from
mail matter of the first class Is approx
mately one and one-half times the cost
of handling and carriage; that the re-
turns from third and fourth class matter
are slightly in excess OF their cost of
handling and carriage, and that while
second-class matter embraces over IS per
cent of the entire weight Of all the mail
carried, 1t nevertheless yields little more
than rer cent af the postal revenues.

by telegraph companies, and with
equal efficiency. the argument might be
a strong one in favor of the adoption OF
the proposition. But I am not satisfied
from any evidence that If these proper
ties were taken over by the government
they could be managed any more eco
nomically or any more efficiently or that
this would enable the government to
furnish service at any smaller rate than
the public is now required to pay by pri-
vate companies.
More than this, 1t seems to me that
the consideration Of the question ought
to be postponed until after the postal
savings banks have come into complete
and smooth operation and after a par
cells post has been esta blished, not only
upon the rural routes and the city de-
liveries, but also throughout the depart
ment. 1t will take some time to perfect
these additions to the activities Of the
Post Office Department, and we may
well await their complete and successful
adoption before we take on a new burden
in this very extended department.
1 cannot speak with too great emphasis
of the improvement in the Post Office
Department under the present MANAGE
ment. The cutting down Of cost, the
shortening of methods and the increase
in efficiency are shown by the statistics
of the annual report.

CONSTITUTION IS NOT
 CLEAR UPON POINT
Corporation Commissioner
 and Auditor Are Both Acting

PHOENIX. March. 1:-When the members of the Constitutional con vention drafted Arizona's organic law, it was their object to take from the office of the state auditor all business pertaining 10 corporations and place these matters under the control of the corporation commission, but ac- cording to Attorney General Bullard s construction Of the Constitution, this was not done. and the corporation work remains in the auditors office until some legislative action is taken.
 1t is generally conceded that when the first legislature meets, laws will be enacted transferring the corpora, ton work to the corporation commis- sion. but until such time articles of incorporation are still being filed in the office of the auditer,
 However. fearing that at some time the matter may come up for le- gal construction and that the courts will hold that the articles should have been filed with the commission, A. W. Cole, the only member of the commission now in the city, has ar ranged a system whereby certificates to all corporations are issued, and receipts made by both the auditor and the corporation commission placing both offices in the clear.

NOVEL USES FOR LOVE
LETTERS

A young wife once had all the love
letters her husband had ever written
her sewn into a beautiful counter
pane as a kind OF inner layer.
When the counterpart got soiled she
had it cleaned, but, of course, it was
never sent to the wash. She left a
request in her will thai it was even
tually to form her shroud.
A girl who had rather original ways
of doing things, papered a room with
her love letters.
They were arranged in the order Of
their dates, and those containing pro-
posals were placed in a special po-
sition round the dado.
Both these are novel ideas, but,
after all, the old way of locking up
these treasures in a hidden box is the
one that most commends itself to sem
sible girls.

milk, one teaspoonful of salt. three
eggs, n tablespoonful of molasses
