TAKE OVER WIRES
POSTMASTER WANTS CONTROL OF
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE.
PARCEL POST is A SUCCESS
Better Service His Aim--Is Not Conduct
ing Department for Profit-Would
Remove Limitation on Postal
Savings Deposits.

Washington.-A sweeping declaration
in favor of government ownership of tel
ephone and telegraph lines, and an as
sertion that the postal service now il
self-supporting for the first time sinc'
1883, are features of the annual repora
of Postr er-General Burleson, trans
United to congress.
Concerning the acquisition of tele
phone and telegraph lines, Postmaster
General Burleson says that the govern
ment has demonstrated its capacity to
conduct public utilities, and from his
present information, he is inclined clear.
ly to the taking over by the postoffice
department of the telegraph lines. Dis
cussing that, the postmaster-general
says:
"A study of the constitutional pur-
poses of the postal establishment leads
to the conviction that the postoffice de-
partment should have control over all
means of the communication of intelli-
Nence. The first telegraph line in this
country was maintained and operated as
part of the postal service, and it is
to be regretted that congress saw fit to
relinquish the facility to private enter
prise. The monopolistic nature of the
telegraph business makes it of vital i'm
portance to the people that it be con-
Quoted by unselfish interests, and this
can be accomplished only through gov
eminent ownership
"The act of July "A, 1866, providing
for the government acquisition of the
telegraph lines upon payment of an APP
praising valuation, and the act of 1902,
directing the acknowledgement to re-
port to congress the probable cost of con-
Meeting telegraph and telephone sys-
tenn with the postal service by some
feasible plan are evidences of the policy
of this government ultimately to acquire
and operate these electrical means of
communication as postal facilities, as is
done by all the principal nations, the
United States alone excepted.
"The successful operation of the parcel
post has demonstrated the capacity of
the government to conduct the public
utilities which fall properly within the
postal provision of the constitution.
Every argument in favor of the gov
ernment ownership of telegraph lines
may be advanced with equal logic and

county four years ago and bought a
prairie land place, shipped last week a
carload of hogs and lambs to st. Louis
market. For his lambs he received the /
top price of the day, s cents pound on
hoof at which price well-grown lamb
will bring Sc to So. His hogs brought
7 1-2 cents pound on hoof, which was
very near the top price of the day. AS
stock from the gulf states has heretofore
been greatly Disseminated against in the
Western markets and have not command
ed the same price as stock from the
West or North, this experience of Mr..
Cresswells now is very significant.
Another thing showing the marked
progress in the matter of stock raising

poor, lean mule or starved-out cow is a

dered confiscated to the rebels in official
decree issued by Gen. Francisco Villa.
Terrazas, now refugee in the United

leo. His holdings of about twothirds
of the state of chihuahua are said to
place him among the most extensive land
holders of the world. The combined es-
tate of the Terrazas andthe Creel broth
ers is valued at many millions of dollars.
Enrique Creel was formerly ambassador
from Mexico to the United States.
Gen. Villas decree, issued at Chi
huahua City, was sent to Juarez and
given out officially. 1t was intended as
a notice that should the revolution sue.
coed neither the Terrazas nor the Creel
families will be allowed any indemnity
for their losses.
The decree accuses the Creels and the
IerraZaS families OF withholding taxa

Orozco and Huerta" and states that the
shall be given to the widows
and orphans caused by bloodshed among
the Mexicans. All contracts made with
the Creels and Terrazas since February
1S, 1913, are declared void.
Luis Terrazas, Jr, eldest son of the
landowner, is held a prisoner at Chi
huahua, and the rebels have appropriated
to their use as much of the movable
as they could seize.
Efforts were made by rebel leaders
