charges Judge Foster dealt purely
with the law as to homicide and in
sanity. He said Schmidt might be
found guilty of murder in the first or
second degree, manslaughter in the
first degree or acquitted on the
grounds OF insanity. Judge Foster
said that should the jurors decide that
Schmidt was insane at the time the
murder was committed, the prisoner
then would have to be sent to the

POSTOFFICE SALES
SHOW BIG GAIN
Figures for Three Days Before Christ
mas Tell Story of Popularity
of Parcel Post.

Figures on the sale of stamps at
the Keokuk Office for the three days
preceding Christmas show an increas 2
of $218.65 over the same time last
year. The year 1912 is considere
the boom year, because of the large
amount of mail matter which was
sent out from Keokuk. The figures
this year showing an advance, in real
ity indicate larger increase than
the figures indicate on their face.
Because of the change in the pos
tai tariffs it is necessary to handle
three times as much mali matter to
make the increase in on pound. Teis
would mean that the local post Office
cid an immense business in the
Christmas rush. Another phase to be
considered is that people did their
Christmas mailing much earlier this
year than last. also.
The sale of stamps IN the three
days preceding Christmas in 1912
amounted to s1,1s9,3o. The figures for
the three days before Christmas in
1918 show that the receipts amounted
to 1,407.95. This is an increase
OF s21s65.
II the same rate OF increase con-
tinues the last three days this month

Value of property, Commissio er
Meyer said. was perhaps the most i'm
portant single factor, now unknown.
which in the future will enter into
the consideration of railway rates.
In the past, volume and market value
OF outstanding securities were sub
mitted as evidence of the value of
property to support rate or rate
structure under attack, the speaker
declared. In the future, he said. after
the physical valuation had been ac-
ccmplished. outstanding securities
against the valued property should re-
cefve no consideration whatever in the
establishment OF rates to be collected
for the public use of that property.
The speaker declared that cost of
service, at present neglected, will be
employed much more in the future He
said that cost systems had been ap-
piled to every important branch of in
dustry except steam engineering. Dis
cussing public policy as a factor in
shaping railway rates, the commits
sioner deprecated the fixing of rates
solely with view to meeting the real
or supposed needs of different patrons
or classes Of patrons, irrespective of
the cost Of service. THE result of
such a policy" he said, under demo-
cratic organization Of society like ours.
would be to throw the question of
rates into politics, to favor one branch
of seryicesor one commodity at the ex-
pense OF others and to the financial
detriment of the roads.
'The distance principle has been eff
fectivel yapplied in attempts to break
up some of the so-called blanket
rates, and in dealing with the equaliza-
ton theory of establishing rates for
basal industries, and Its use Is likely
to be even greater in the future. This
is another reason for pushing investi-
cation into the cost Of the service
field. The value Of the property and a
fair return thereon, the cost of the
service, sound public policy and 9th
er considerations may, and should be
used in the fixing of rates. No one
can state in advance the specific facts
in rate problem nor the standard or
combination of standards best fitted to
the particular case and most likely to
promote justice to the parties in In,
terest."
