'FRANKIIyG' COSTS
UNCLE SANE VAST
SUMS OF MONEY

special .;tar-Bulletin Forrespondence1

L
WASHINGTON, d. C.. Nov. Is
The poor taxpayer must always pay
the freight. This applies equally TO
matters political and other features
OF Governmental maintenance. The
sport of bosses in this country is
something akin to that of Kings in
other nations The taxpayer foots the
bills no matter who the sportsman
may be.
II cost the humble taxpayer, $685..
900 for distributing political docu-
ments through the mails during the
recent national campaign and the eSu-
cational period that preceded 1t. This
modest sum OF money was represented
by the enormous mass of literature
sent under franks The net effect was
to create a deficit of $1.7S1 900 in
the. postal service. If the political
matter had paid the usual rate OF
POSTAGE there would have been no
deficit but "a surplus in excess of
$1,000, 900.
Figures prepared by Postmaster
General Hitchcock demonstrate that
for the fiscal year ending June 80.
1912, total of $40, 245, 900 pieces of
franked matter, weighing 61.377 900
pounds, was sent through the mails.
The most of this vast volume of
ranked matter consisted of govern
ment documents. but between 7,000,-
900 and 100000 pounds of II was
made up of political documents. In
one case complete political cam
paign book was sent out under frank.
the material composing the book hav-.
ing been made frankable by being in
serted in the Congressional Record.
The total amount of franked mat
was S.S per cent of the entire do
nestle mail
Commenting upon these figures,
Postmaster General Hitchcock said:
The unusual expense entained up
on the postal service through the
transmission by mail of the great
amount Of political matter during the
primary campaign created temper
airy deficit for the first time in two
years, the total expenditures for the
fiscal year of 1912 aggregating $24S,-
525, 900, while the total revenues
amounted to $246.744. 900 Had it not
been for the cost of carrying ranked
political mail, the postal account
would have shown surplus of more
than $1000,000 instead of a. deficit Of
$1,7S1 ,000 And this surplus | have
indicated would have been developed,
notwithstanding the fact that the
compensation of postal employees was
increased during the year by an ag-
gregate of $4,000, 600. -,

You can make a nice breakfast for
three or four persons with two OF

Mr.. Crockett enumerated electrical

"Percolator, toaster, grill. grilling

the shamrock, in another part another

piled to one of the hop ~clovers, the botan-

Le the true historical shamrock. although
that honor might also be claimed for sew
eral other plants.
There Is u popular notion 20 the effect
that this plant will grow Nowhere but in
ireland: but this impression is incorrect.
IL, will flourish wherever 1T is properly
cultivated, n IL does grow freely In
countries other than ireland.

widely understood to be the common
shamrock. and it Is gathered n worn
under TINT name In Ireland and elsewhere.

Medicago lupulina Is also known as the
shamrock. So Is wood sorrel. Much his

that this last-named plant Is the sham
