No Increase In Tnx This Year

County Judge Stamper is in re-
ceipt of a letter fro mthe Chairman
Of the State Board of Equalization
stating that there will be no raise
in the taxes Of Knox County this
year. Last year they raised the
taxes 10 per cent on all property in
this County. Many people at that
time thought that it was the Knox
Fiscal Court that was responsible
for the raise, but it was not, it was
the State Board. The Supervisors
Of Knox County this year found
more than $500, 900 worth Of prop
srty not listed and this accounts
for the fact that there will be 90
raise this year.

the burden of proof in establishing the
reasonableness Of railroad rate.
Prior to that time the practice had
been Just the opposite, with the result
that many shippers who were or had
been suffering from discriminatory
rates or practices. were unable to prove
their cases without great expense or
long litigation or both. Under this new
law the railroads subsequently made
application for an increase In their
rates and the interstate commerce com
mission. not being satisfied with the
showing Of the railroads as to their

one OF the great achievements of Presi-

TAFT REFORMS
POSTAL SERVICE
Governments Biggest Business
Now Run on Modern Basis.
PENNY POSTAGE POSSIBLE.
Eeenomy and Efficiency In Adn,inistra-
ton Under Hitchcock Make Cheaper
Postage Rates Imminent - Policies
Should Be Continued.

In thorough accord with the policy
of economy and efficiency OF the Taft
administration, Postmaster General
Frank II. Hitchcock has put an end to
the annual deficit in the pOstOfice de-
partment and made possible the serious
consideration OF further reforms and
improvements. not the least important
of which is the imminent possibility
OF penny postage. Many other reforms
that have the support Of President
Taft will be lnaugurated this year.
Another term OF the Taft admlnistra
ton would place this $240OOO. 900 bust
ness institution completely on u bust
ness basis.
At the beginning OF the present ad-
minlstration the postal service was In
arrears to the extent OF $17.4I9.T70.47.
which was decidedly the largest deficit
on record. Last year the revenues ex-
ceeded the expenditures by $219.1lS.12
The wiping out of the deficit has
been accomplished without any cur
tnilment of facilities. On the con-
trary, there have been established 9,744
new postofiices, delivery by carrier
has been provided In 1856 additional
cities, and 2.516 new rural routes. as.
gregating 60,679 miles. have been au-
thorized. Meanwhile the force OF pos
tai employees has been increased by
more than 5000. and last year the to-
tai amount expended for salaries was
approximately So 100000 greater than
two years ago. IRE average annual
salary has beer 5 eased from $3.50
to $967 for rural carriers. from 1918 to
81 .OS2 for postofiice clerks, from $l.Oel
to $1.0S4 for city letter carriers and
from 1.16S to $1,1S3 for railway pos
tai clerks. Thus marked extension
OF the postal service and increased
compensation for its employees have
gone hand In hand with a vanishing
deficit.
Postal Banks Great Success.
Nv persistent effort the present Re
publican administration secured the
passage on June %. 1910. OF the act
creating the postal savings system.
With Il nov IN operation at practical
ly ri the T.F00 presidential postofiices.
Preparation are being made for It's
extension TO 10000 fourth class post
oflises. II Is confidently anticipated
that the deposits at the close OF the
present FISCAL year win aggregate $50

Vigorous Action.
President Taft's method OF doing his
work ms president without seeking to
achieve personal notoriety from his
good works was never better illustrat-
ed than In his ultimatuIn TO the rail-.
reads OF the country which prevented
a general increase in rallroad rates Just
prior to the adoption Of amendments
TO the railroad rate law two years ago.
The president served notice upon the
railroads that II they anticipated the
new law they would be hailed into
court. and a. a result OF subsequent
conferences the railroads agreed to
postpone their action until the new law
was passed.
