HIGHER POSTAL RATES.

The proposal to double the second
class postal rate, applying to news
papers and periodicals, has aroused
a storm of protest from all sections
of the United States. The st. Louis
GlobelDemocrat expresses the major
il yopinion of the west in the follow
ing editorial:
With the Postal Department now
showing a surplus instead of deficit
Congress is urged to double the Sec
ond.class mail rate, applying to
newspapers and periodicals. TIE
present rate is ! cent pound. This
legislation is asked Of Congress at
the instance of a special commission
which has Investigated conditions
$50 far as practicable" In the pres
idents message to Congress 1t is
said: 1T is estimated by the Post
Office Department that revenue de-
rived from mail matter of the first
class is approximately one and a
half times the cost of carriage; that
the returns from third and fourth
class matter are slightly in excess
of cost Of handling and carriage, and
that, while second-class matter en-
braces over 65 per cent of the entire
weight of all mail carried, it, never
theless yields little more than s per
cent Of the postal revenues"
This would not be serious con.
dition even could 1t be proved. 1t
would explain why, although the ex.
penses of the department in the last
fiscal year reached the enormous to-.
tai of 1921. $50, 705.4S, its receipts
reached the more enormous total of
1927 ,879,S23.60. Wiping out the old
deficit and replacing it with surplus
can be attributed to nothing else
than the promotion of trade, the
quickening of ideas, the bringing in
contact of separated communities and
the increase in facilities of personal
communications which have grown
out of vastly increased distribution
Of newspapers and other printed mat
ter.
It would be unscriptural to muzzle
the OK which has trod out such golden
grain even were the figures proved
But nowhere, in the report of the
commission, is a claim made Of their
substantial accuracy. Nowhere are
they set out as being more than ap-
ordinations, while everywhere the
commission apologies for lack of
data upon which it was able to rely
in reaching it's conclusions. The
commissioners made an earnest of.
fort to get reliable data, but they
confess their own failure, on page 49,,
in saying: "The most favorable as.
sumption on the evidence before us
as to second7class matter paid at the
pound rate would be to take it's av-
erage haul on the basis Of the cal
culation for the six months of 1906
and the average hauls for all other
classes as shown by the department
tables. We do not say that this
would be correct assumption. It

A CURE FOR THE SUBSTITUTION

A CURE FOR THE SUBSTITUTION
EVIL.
A salesman of the National Bis
cult Company was lately talking to
a grocer In a Southern city who
had laid in a stock of soda crack
ers put up in a 5 cent package and
made by competitor of the Ma
tional Biscuit Company. The gro
Ger said that the reason he carried
the competitive article was be-
cause prices on the imitation goods
were so much lower that IL afford
ed him an extra profit and that he
thought he could work them off on
his customers in place of Uneeda
Biscuit.
While they were talking a color
ed woman came into the store and
asked for a package of Uneeda Bis
cult. To show the National Biscuit
Company's salesman how easy 1t
was to substitute, the proprietor
himself waited on the woman
showing her the imitation package
and advising her to take it. saying
that 1t was Just as gNod" as
Uneeda Biscuit. The colored wom-
an hesitated, and then said mo.
sab, dey is wanted for sickness, an
my missus SEN me for Uneeda Bis
cult; she is mighty partic'ler, an
she know what she want, so glib
me Uneeda Biscuit. boss"
This is only one of many similar
instances that are constantly oc-
curing in the effort to substitute
other goods when Uneeda Biscuit
are asked for.
After all, isn't the best cure for
substitution the making of first
class goods, and then the advertis-
ing of them to consumers so thor
oughly and persistently that, like
the colored woman. they are afraid
to take any risk In buying some
thing else? ***
