Business men here are back
ing the movement for the lower

has a large membership in this
state and is constantly seeking
to enlarge it. so that when the |
real battle for lower postage is
waged in congress next winter |
the association will receive am

men whom it will most benefit.
Many important postal re-
forms have been iDaugurated |
during the past year, resulting |
in the elimination of a huge de-
felt and the accumulation of a
creditable cash surplus. In ad-
dition to this a plan has been
adopted for a limited parcels
post, to be put into effect early
next year. Advocates CT oHe

simple justice the government
must establish the lower rate at

Under present conditions first
