Railway Business Association
Sees Injustice in Post

AIDS FIGHT OF LINES

Through a bulletin sent yesterday to
business men in every state protesting
against the present rates paid by the
fost Office Department to the railways
for carrying the mails the Railway Bust
ness Association hopes TO arouse public
business men are requested to urge their
congressman to give the railroads relief.
The Railway business Association.
which Is "A national organization OF
manufacturing. mercantile and engineer
ing concerns dealing with railroads. asks
that mall be weighed yearly for ninety
days to estimate the volume and con-
eequent compensation to the railroads.
II is now weighed at four veal intervals.
An injustice was done 10 the railroads.
the association contends. whcn the parcel
post was established in 1918. As the
country is divided into four parts and
as the mail in only one part Is weighed
each year, the railroads OF ono Of the
districts will moi receive compensation
for the increased tonnage until 1917. the
bulletin points out.
In ten years. according to the bulletin.
the post office receipts increased 1905
per cent. but payment to the railroads
for carrying the mail Increased only 27.7
per cent.
Mail pay ought not to he affected by
the Post ONCE Department balance
sheet" the bulletin says. The roads
should receive not what the Department
Is willing to pay them. but what their
services are worth.
Congress should lay down the rule
hat compensation shall be equivalent to
what private shippers would pay for
similar service. There is no more reason
for taking the postal deficit out OF the
railways than out of letter carriers OF
building contractors"
h Postmaster-General, being an In
terested party. the bulletin says. should
not have arbitrary authority over mat
tiers In dispute between the railroads and

The proposed space system OF COM

Yesterday that the mosquitoes Fostering

that many of the insects may be of the

The Presbyterian Hospital, being near
a mosquito region branded by the Health
Department. has had more than its share
! Of trouble. Clogged cutters and drains

After Compulsory Attendance

The Maryland State Federation of Women's
Clubs is making a campaign to secure the
enactment of Statewide compulsory school
attendance law by the next Legislature The
attempt to secure such a law at the hands Of
the last Legislature failed The compulsory
school attendance law. enacted by the Legisll-
ture OF 1912. is mandatory only for Baltimore
CITY, Is optional in IT counties and specifically
exempts six counties Those six counties are
Anne Arundel. Howard, Kent, Somerset, st.
Mary's, Worcester These six counties had,
last year, 1906 children in average attend
ance and 1926 children out of school,
Of the seventeen counties where the law IA
optional. eight are making an effort to secure
a larger attendance of chidren-Baltimor
Caroline. Dorchester, Hartford Montgomery
frlnce George Queen Anne and Talbot In
Baltimore county the children of the rural
sections are required 70 attend a minimum of
100 consecutive days. In Hartford the COM
puisory period OF attendance has been fixed at
five months
In nine counties there has been no attempt
to adopt and enforce the law. They are Allie
gany Carroll. Cecil Charles Calvert Freder-
lex, Garrett. Washington and Wicomico
Speaking OF the special taxes levied for
school purposes. Prof. William H. Hand, State
High School Inspector, OF South Carolina,
says:-
The State has no right to levy and collect
taxes for specific purpose, then permit that
purpose to be defeated at the hands of indir-
ferent or selfish parents. For the State. under
the mandates of law, to collect taxes for the
education of its children and fail to give the
education to the legal benefciares is a moral
crime, If not statutory one. In this con-
neetion one hears much about the sacred
rights and personal privileges of the parent
who neglects refuses to send his child to
school, Has the helpless child no sacred
rights? Has the State not some privileges
The tendency to shift from the home those
functions which properly belong there is re-
grettabe. One of those functions is to train
the children for their duties and responsible
ties in the social organism. Society itself is
imperiled whenever its members are unfit One
of the essentials of fitness is what we call
education"

Panama Exposition Over

The Panama-Pacific International exposition
closed at midnight December 4. Hundreds of
thousands of incandescent lights twinkled the
farewell signal few minutes before. and at ~
o'clock the lights went out for the last time.
The exposition of ESQ days duration officially
was at an end, though the farewell carnival
continued in the morning hours.
In financial way it is expected the exposi-
ton will show a profit of something like
SO, 900. .000-perhaps more. All Indebtedness
was paid before the exposition two-thirds
over. The expense of preparing the site AMI
tn beudings for the opening date said to
be Approximately $50 900, 900. There was no
federal appropriation for the undertaking, al
though the various departments of the United
States government made displays for which
$500 900 had been allowed for maintenance
The exposition attendance was beyond all
hopes of the management. especially after the
outbreak of the war. when for time there
talk of postponement of the opening date.
On n daily average the attendance has been
more than $1,000. Within twelve days after
February 20, 100000 persons passed through
the gates The 100000 mark was reached
November 49,
