BURLESON ASSERTS
POSTAL SURPLUS IN
1871 WAS F|CT|C|0US
Special Report Today
Asserts There Was
$75O,0OO Deficit.
BOOKS JUGGLED
Charged by Official Who Says
Predecessor Unloaded
Expenses Upon Him.

Washington, ID. C.--Postmaster
General Burleson today made public
a report on a special Investigation of
the fiscal affairs of the postal SER
vice, charging, that during the adj
Hitchcock, the service did not be-
come self supporting as was often
asserted, but hat in 1911 there was
actually a deficiency of over $780,
600. t..
The report charges that the ZAP
parent surplus was attained by IN
justitiable methods of bookkeeping"
and. that the efficiency and morals
of the postal service sacrificed to
"ruthlessly enforced policy of false
economy that a showing of self
maintaining might be made. The
report attributes to this alleged con-
dition, the complaints made against
the service. i,..
Hitchcock, during his administers
ton and in his reports claimed that
the year 1909 the deficiency was APP
p~roximately SIT, 500, 900, and that
ii was entirely eliminated in the
fiscal year 1911 and a surplus of
more than. 100000 attained.
The report of the Survey, made
by the direction of Burleson, says
that at no time has there been a
legitimate surplus in postal revenue
since 1883 and that the postoffice
department under Hitchcock's ad-
ministration in 1911 actually was
under the deficit mentioned.
Just before President Wilson took
office, the report says, Hitchcock
filled long standing vacancies, made
postponed promotions, and assumed
fixed charges for long terms in such
a way "as to saddle the new admin
i%stration with greatly increased eX-
penses during the months or years
to ome More than one hundred
rural mail routes were authorized il
three days"
Four assistant postmaster-generals
and the chief of the clerk depart
ment made the survey. and signed
the report.

Fred c. Drake. former police judge
here, and who holds a commission OF
United States commissioner was sur
prised today to learn that his four
year commission is supposed to have
expired and that the work he did in
the case of Dan Montgomery of Hur-
on, who is being held as an alleged
white-slaver was without authority
on that account. Montgomery was
brought here last week at the insti-
CATION of the United States marshal
at Sioux Falls and was released by
Judge Drake under bonds of $1,000
for his appearance here for a prelim-
mary hearing here yesterday.
Yesterday Montgomery failed to
show up and his attorneys make the
statement hat they learned the fact
that the commissioners commission
has expired and that Montgomery's
hearing will probably be held at Alb
erdeen. 1t is a good joke on Mr..

So LICENSE O
HALF OF 1913
ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS
THAT ALL AUTO OWNERS
MUST PAY THIS FEE
NEXT MONTH.

Pierre. S. DIT will be SO for an
auto license for the last half of 1913
regardless of the age of the machine.
according to the opinion of the at
torney general on a query by the sec
rotary of state. The auto license act
requires a license of Sc per year on
a machine until it has been used five
years. after which the license is but
half that sum. This provision is be-
ing cited to the secretary of state by
owners of old machines who want
the half rate for the last half of this
year. But the state law department
holds hat the law also requires all
machines to pay the SO for the last
half of 1913, regardless of age or
service.
The department also holds on in
quiry from States Attorney Wyman
of Yankton, hat the new license law
allows a saloon under the one to six
hundred act, the word person must
be construed to mean saloon appli-
cations. The law says that the license
shall be to me person for each six
hundred of major fraction of. pop
ulation, and that in a town entitled
to three saloons under the popula-
ton provision, if a license is granted;
to a partnership of three the licens-
ing power has ended; but the attor-
ney general does not hold that way.
In the act to provide for repay
ment of license money where liquor
licenses have been Cancelled for any
reason, there is a provision "Pro-
viding that this act shall apply to
losses where saloon licenses have
been heretofore revoked" This pro-
vision was opposed at the time of
the passage of the act by the House.
but was strenuously supported by
Withee, the author of the bill. The
question has been raised as the power
of the legislature to pass an act with
a retroactive provision. and at that
the way opened for a claim for any
revoked license at any time in the
past regardless of time.

PACK AT HOME.

Pierre Capital Journal: A local
packing company at Watertown has
been doing business for sometime.
Their capacity being o~vercrowded
they have disposed of $4,000 stock
to farmers in the vicinity of Water
town, and now they expect to eXpend
more money and increase tn cir stock
to 100000, having a capacity of kill
ling 200 hogs a day. This will mean
that Watertown will in all probabil-
ity have assgood packing house be-
cause an independent house Will
soon be gobbled up by some of the
big concerns. The development of a
packing industry in this state is very
gratifying as it means the employ
ment of much labor and the payment
to the producers more money for
their live stock. BY packing at home
much freight is saved, the middle
mans profit is eliminated and the
home community generally benefit
ted. To us it would appear that is the
best project which the business men
of Watertown have at their com
mand.

conditions in northwestern South

it is felt that the opening of the

who are supplying the where withal

who are supplying the wherewithal
for living.
But that is all right. The politicians
must Away VS. have something to make
noise about. The Republican has
consistently taken the view that
South Dakota doesn't want the cost
of living reduced. Summed up, this
higher living cost is due to the aban-
donment of millions of acres of farm
land in the east and the unwilling
ness of millions of men TO till the
soil. That OF course has forced up
ward the prices of farm products and
|tributing cause South Dakota is do
ing very we'll, for South Dakota has
come to realize that farming, instead
of being mere drudgery, is in fact a
great industry.
@-ss<#
According to a statement by Secre-
|tary of the Treasury McAdoo, only
llseven of the $50 national banks des-
|ignated as federal d~opositaries, de-
Iclined to pay interest of 2 per cent on
federal deposits, as required under
1.-THE new order by Secretary McAdoo.
This goes to show that the interest
lcharge will not be ~burdensome upon
the banks. And, since the banks do
mot appear to object seriously to the
new requirement, and since it. will
mean an additional $1,000, 900 a
year for the governments income,
there certainly should be nothing
but approval for the secretary's, act
lion. In pursuance of the other new
ment, under which more money will
be carried in the federal depositaries,
Secretary McAdoo has distributed
$40, 1000 to these banks all oven
the United States. Surely there is no
good reason why the government
should not sell, the use OF it's surplus
funds, That is Just what the banks
are doing and there seems no good
reason why the government should
be less bu~sinesslike than they are.
