Accounts Must be Settled.

Three times since the first of the year,
the Leader has sent out statements to
delinquent subscribers. In many eases
we have met with prompt returns in the
way of remittances. There are many
others, however, who have paid no atten-
tiOn to our appeals. To these we wish
to say that the newspaper business is
just like any other-it takes more than
wind to conduct the same. This week
we are sending out another batch of
statements to our delinquent subscribers
and we trust that each one, upon the re
ceipt of the same will respond promptly.
The individual accounts are not large,
but the sum total is good sum. The
postal laws do not permit Us to carry a
subscriber who is over one year in ar
rears. These accounts MUST be settled
and if not very soon, it will be necessary
to adopt the most drastic measures.

p used providing that county prisoners

Supreme Court, through monopoly
and oppression"
Within this year the Standard Oil
Company has increased the price of
gasoline from II to Is cents a gallon
and kerosene. from 6 to 8 cents a
gallon, and this in spite of general
improvement of business and large
earnings. 1t has done this because it
could, and it could because it is an
UndissolYed monopoly.
Ten per cent on the corporations.
capital stock would be ample divi-
dends for any business, so the addi-
tional $50,OOO,0O0 which have been
taken from the people is the annual
tax of an oppressive corporation
which has been dissolved" by the
United States Supreme Court. And
yet Justice Day deplores the tendency
of the public to speak disrespectfuIly
of our courts.
