TeIegrsphio Rates Highest Here.

Investigation disclOses that our tele
graphic rates are the highest among
twenty countries. The result Of these alb
normal rates is that we rank but ninth
as telegraph users.
THE telegraph companies seem 10 be-
lacking in institutional economy or eff
cheney. The operation of sending tele-
gram is loaded down with seventy-foug
incidental services and processes not less
than fifty Of which would be replaced by
affixing the postage stamp. The Ameri-
can inefficiency is further exaggerated by
the duplication OF telegraph Offices In al
the important towns and cities, and the
denial OF the service at many thousand
necessary points.
a striking feature is the discovery
that the telegraph service is a relatively
declining institution, and that il would
be unwise now 10 postalize It alone and
as a single service. To take over the tele.
graph lines alone and operate them mere
~ az telegraph lines might result in
postal bankruptcy.
But our toll and long distance rates
compare with those Of other countries
even less favOrably than do our tee-
graph rates. II is not unfair or mac
curate 10 say that the American inter-
urban telephone rates are the scandal of
public service rates the world over. The
American telephone monopoly takes the
thirteenth place among seventeen coE-

Washington. Dec. 2o.-Although the

principle Of government ownership OF the
telegraph and telephone lines, and ms
recommendation was generally supposed
to have the support Of the whole admin
istration, the President let it be known
positively to-day that he has not yet maze
up his mind on the subject
The President made It clear that he IS
awaiting the result Of the deep investi-
CATION being made into the question, prin-
cipally by Representative Lewis, of Mary
land. who has the assistance OF several
experts. While preliminary reports on
goyernment-owned telegraph and tele-
phone lines in other countries seem TO
indicate that the system is a success,
President Wilson recognizes that conii-
tons are peculiar in the United States.
owing TO the firm hold the Bell corpora
ton has had on the large lines. and for
that reason is not ready TO act without
first studying the question from every
angle.
Postmaster General Burleson had a con
ference with the President to-day. and
talked over the recommendation he in
corporated in his annual report. The for
mer was inclined to be silent on the sub
teet, however. after he had conferred
with the President, saying only that he
recognized that it would take a long time
10 work out a system which would be
practical and suited to the peculiar needs
OF the public. He declared that he still
firmly believes in the government owner
ship Of the telegraph and telephone lines,
and that recent developments. including
the promise Of the Bell trust to meet
the demands of the Department of JUS
tice. had not swayed him from his con-
viction that eventually the lines must
pass under control Of the government.

the discontented upper lip in charge
IN the Office. The latter watched the
elegant lady in the rich furs come
down the hall from the elevator. and
wondered who she was and why she
nad been upstairs. Probably to visit
some poor protegee, she thought. The
girl caught the lovelight in the ewes
OF Tryon Durham as he rose to meet
his bride, and she recognized him az
the same man who had been in close
converse with the cneaply dressed girl
IN the parlor an hour before, and

She locked her door once more. for
somehow a great fear had stolen over
her now that she was again dressed in
her own garments and could be easily
recognized.
She opened the large box and read
the card lying on the top:
These are my wedding gifts to you,
dear. Put them on and come as soon as
possible to the one who loves you better
than anything else in life.
Her eyes shone brightly and her
cheeks grew rosy red as she lifted out
from it's tissue paper wrappings q
long. rich coat OF Alaska seal. with
exquisite brocade lining. She put 1t
on and stood moment looking at
herself in the glass. She felt like one
who had for q time lost her identity,
and has suddenly had 1t restored. Such
garments had been ordinary comforts
Of her former life. She had not been
warm enough in tho coarse black
coat.
The other box contained q beautiful
hat Of fur to match the coat. It was
simply trimmed with one long. beauti.
ful black plume. and in shape and gen.
eral appearance was like the hat he
had borrowed for her use In the fall.
She smiled happily as she set It upon
her head, and then laughed outright as
she remembered her shabby silk
gloves. Never mind. She could take
them of when she reached the
hurch.
She packed the little black dress
o the suitcase, folded the felt hat on
top with tender pat, and, putting
1er gloves, hurried down to the one
waited for her.

0NE-CENT POSTAGE
Believes Rate to Be Desirable,
Although Not Justified by
Department Revenues.

{ One cent letter postage is favored by
Third assistant Postmaster General
~ n. Dockery. a,
MIR Dockery believes that such a
letter rate is highly desirable, but that
it is not justified at this time by the
revenues of the department as COM
pared with the expenditures. In his
annual report he says:
The movement for a reduction in
the rate of postage on letters from
The reduction advocated is highly de-
strabIk in many respects and while
The enactment of legislation providing
.or 1-cent letter postage is favored as
soon Is il can be brought about with

postal facilities, and at the same time
maintain the self-supporting basis of

this time"
MIR. Dockery gives 6gures to show
that there was no postal surplus in

was a considerable deficit He goes in
detail into the figures and shows that

'DR, ANNA /, SHAW
REFUSES TO PAY TAX
National Suffrage Leader Writes
"Taxatie nWithout Repre-
senation Is Tyranny"

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S.-Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw. national suffrage leader,
yesterday sent a letter to the Moylan,
delaware county, tax assessor, in an
swer to his request for an inventory of
her personal property, wherein she said
she would not pay tax on the ground
that taxation without representation is
I, rappy."
AS result Of her refusal to fill the
blank. DR.. Shaw said, the assessor will
place his own estimate on the value of
her property. and then will add so per
cent as a penalty for her non-compli-
ance. She continued:
1 am mildly interested in learning
how wealthy I am. won't know
urtii the male assessor of Moylan,
Pa. in whose election had no hand,
decides the question for me.
OF course, I Will have to pay what
ever tax he demands or lose my prop
city, and consequently pay a consid-
cradle portion of the salary of the
auctioneer. the constable and half
dozen other officials whom I did not
help to elect to office. This is the
boidest highway robbery. We usually
give the highway robber our watch
instead of our life; but robbery as a
function of the Government, though
We might expect 1t in Russia or Tur-
key. should hardly be expected in the
United States.
We shall make such, robbery as in
convenient as possible, however. 1
, shall Immediately write to suffragists
all over the country and ask them to
follow my example in refusing to
Civ can accoutn of their personal
property, and shall publish the same
advice in sufragist periodicals
throughout The country.
Against Masculine Tyranny"
At suffrage headquarters in New York
it is believed DR.. Shaw has. in her
present bold opposition to the State
government, red the rst gun Of small
revolution against masculine tyranny
in general and the tax assessor in par
ticuiar. This is not the first occasion
upon which she has placed tax asses
sor in an embarrassing position. She
owns lot at Cape Cod, Mass, which
she says she has been trying to sell for
a number of years for $500. The local
assessor placed a valuation of 81 900
upon ii after she had declined to dis
cuss the subject with a man she mad
voted for. =
Dr.. Shaw wrote him, protested against
the assessment, and said she would be
delighted to sell the lard to the town
for s50c. The town declined the priyi-
lege of buying, and she wrote The as
SCISSOR and told him she wished she had
vote. He replied and asked why.
DIR. Shaw's reply was ITO vote for a
new assessor She Is still awaiting
another answer.
