FOREIGN MERCHANTS COMPLAIN
ABOUT SHORT POSTAGE

Washington, May 13.-(SpeciaD-
The department of commerce is re-
ceiving complaints in increasing num-
bers from business men in foreign
countries against the short postage on
.letters received from the United
States. These foreign merchants aver
that the double postage which they
are required to pay on letters from
America is so annoying that it turns
much trade away from our country
Commercial Agent Thompson writes
to the department from Marseilles
that the large French importers re-
port that about half the American
correspondence comes with only a two
cent stamp affixed. Thus an unfavor-
able impression is created. The rate
on letters to France is five cents for
the first once or fraction Of an ounce
and three cents for each additional
ounce or fraction thereof.
A mercantile firm at Buenos Ayres
in calling attention the receipt OF so
many letters from the United States
with two cent stamps only thereon,
for which they must pay fine, sug-
gests to the American consul there:
1--WE suppose that this is due to a
wrong Interpretation of the postal
rates very general among the com
mercial circles Of your country. In
view of the enormous increase in.
commercial exchange with the country
you represent, we recommend that you
take the necessary measures to GER
rect this deficiency, which will not
develop commerce with Argentina"
Similar complaints have reached
the department from Africa, Austral
la, and many other parts Of the world
and the statement is usually added
that short t-paid letters from the Unit
ed States are beginning to be refused,

CAMPAIGN AGAINST

Philadelphia, Pa, May 13.-H. =
Sheldon fl3 Couch building, a prom
inent attorney of Portland, and Il.
p. Hutton, i'll launch a campaign
looking to the 2bsolute prohibition of
the liquor traf &c in that state, and
will lead the fight for the proposed
amendment to the federal constitution y
at the national convention of the
Anti-Saloon League of America to be
helyd at Columbus, Ohio, November
1913.
After reading the above dispatches
Attorney Sheldon admitted that the
Anti-Saloon league of Oregon, of
which he is superintendent, is plan
ming a campaign for statewide pro-
hibition, and that the national organ
izaticn will fight for nationwide pro-
hibition.
I'm Oregon we expect to initiate a
petition for the repeal of the Home
Rule amendment to the constitution,
to be voted on in 1914" said Mr..
Sheldon. "If we are successful in
knocking out the amendment we will
then make a campaign for statewide
prohibition in 1916.
This fall, probably before the
leagues convention in November, a
campaign for nation wide prohibition
will be launched. This can only be
accomplished through an amendment
of the federal constitution. Our first
efforts will be to have congress adopt
the amendment This done the va
rious state leagues will then work to
the end that the necessary SO states
adopt it,"

belief of the board Of directors that
the fair should be not only mirror
