In the Future, Monthly Notices to be
Issued in Warning of
Expirations.
OLD ACCOUNTS BEING PAID
Many Advance Cash Payments Being
Received-Promptness
Appreciated.

The fact that many subscribers are
sending in their advance payments
for the Daily Pioneer at this early
date seems conclusive proof, that the
new rate and advance method sub
mitted to the people last week by
letter and through the columns of
this paper, is popular idea.
Practically all of the daily papers
and magazines throughout the en-
tire country have adopted this
method. The saving offered through
this method of collection can be
made an item worth the considera-
tion of every subscriber. The Daily
Pioneers new rate is $4.OO a year,
cash in advance. instead of $500
pay-as-you-like. being saving Of
25 per cent.
To more clearly fix the new plan
in the minds of it's readers the fol-
lowing explanation is offered.
There will be but one rate for the
Daily Pioneer after April 1st. and
that rate is 81 per year; 50 for six
months; and 81 for three months
strictly SH-IN-ADVANCE. All
papers will be stopped, April list,
1912 unless paid for in advance of
this date Those whose subscrip-
tions expire in April will receive
notice from this office about March
20 telling them the date to which
their paper is paid and thereby Civ
ing them an opportunity to make
another advance payment before
their time expires and the paper
stopped.
For example: subscribers whose
subscriptions expire in April will
be notified to that effect March 20.
Those whose time expires in May
will receive notice April 20. Those
whose time expires in June will be
notified May 20. Those whose time
expires in July will be notified June
the year.
TO make this change of system re-
quires a great amount of additional
work in the Office and subscribers
will confer a great favor to the Pho
neer by paying their subscriptions as
promptly as possible.
Every subscriber who is paid in ad-
vance Of April 1st, 1912 will in a
few days receive new receipt show
ing just to what date his paper is
paid. If this new receipt does not
correspond with your records kindly
advise this office at once.
To sum up hteitneres
paragraph; pay up back subscriptions
at the old rate of $500 per year
Pay subscriptions in advance OF
April 1st at the new rate of $4.00
per year and the paper will continue
coming to you. If you do not pay up
your old account and make advance
payment of April 1st, 1912 the pa
per will be stopped.
Subscribers will find it much easier
to pay for something and then have
it coming, than to pay for something
after it is gone. We are daily re-
ceiving congratulations upon having
adopted this new method, for the
simple reason that it is a favor tc
both subscriber and publishers.
With this new plan in force it will
enable the Pioneer Publishing Com.
pany to give better service both as tc
delivery and news contents of the
paper. Prompt cooperation will dc
much toward perfecting the opera
ton of this plan at an early date.

Analysis of November Vote.
Final tabulations disclose that West
Virginia is not a democratic state. Will
sons vote did not equal the combined
vote cast for Taft and Roosevelt, and
excepting the plurality of 500 received
by Hatfield, the successful republican
candidate for governor, the republican
state ticket otherwise was elected by
margins of from $4,000 to $4,000 The
democratic leaders were gravely disap-
pointed and attempt to account for the
fi-ures by saying the vote on the prohibit
ton amendment drew out a big vote,
that the progressive republican combina-
ton attracted votes the democratic state
ticket wouil otherwise have received.
and that an element of their own party
voted the Taft column straight.

CLERK GETS A SURPRISE.
Adopts New Method in Applying fol
a Raise.

A government clerk who bethought him.
self to take advantage Of a provision in
the last post Office appropriation bill has
furnished the House committee on ap-
priations with a unique document.
The bill provided that any government
clerk could appeal to Congress or make
any sort Of a complaint without fear of
displeasure if he transmitted his letter
through the head of his department. The
clerk in question wrote to the United
State Congress asking for raise in
salary. He transmitted it through the
head of his department, the Secretary Of
the Navy, who wrote on it that the man
was not considered worthy Of an increase
and the papers were sent to the appropri-
atoms committee Of the House.
at is said to be the first time such
set of papers ever has been made a part
of the public records.
