The newspaper story did not
tell you that the postcfice appro
piation bill carried legislation
which would have given the ma
ton a genuine parcel post and.
would have effected economies
aggregating ten million dollars
per year.
That is the reason the bill was
stabbed to death in the corridors
of the national Capitol.
1t was a shameful episode and
every man connected with it
should be driven from public life.
But the men who took advan-
tage of getaway" day were
smooth operator. They covered
their tracks very cleverly. Their
colleagues know them or, at least,
have succeeded in marking some
of them, but the record cannot
be produced to convict them.
This much is a matter of CON-
mon knowledge.
For two years the POstoftlce
department has demanded legls-
lation which would compel the
railroads to carry parcel post
packages at approximately the
same rates charged the express
companies by the railroads.
More than a year ago the house
passed such a Dlll anu 1t was pig
con- -holed in; the senate. Then
the House attached the bill asa
rider to the Postoffice appro-
priation bill. | have told the

was Dulcnered, but the House
stood by its guns" aud the Whole

it's authority and powers and making
1t the central-voice of the Greek letter
societies and the channel for all inter-
course between the faculty and the in

committee appointed to Investigate
the situation has reported that the as
sociation is decidedly weak from a
standpoint Of it's authority, despite the
fact that it has just completed a most
successful year. Definite action with
respect to the proposed changes will
not be taken until the fall meeting of
the organization, to be held October 6
at the Sigma Chi Fraternity house. 1t
is possible that the name of the asso-
citation also will be changed.
The organization has sent out cir
cular letters to members of Congress,
Supreme Court justices and cabinet
members to learn how many are mem
bers of Greek letter societies.

range a similar schedule for next win

Possible Benefits Cited.

THE increase in appropriation re-
quired for an increase in salaries would
far exceed the expense of straight pen
sion. Indeed. it is figured that by re-
firing the older and higher salaried
employees at half pay an actual none
tary saving would result to the govern
ment. not to mention the enormous ad-
vantaseS gained in greater efficiency,
II higher grade of young men attracted
to the service by possible promotion
(now stagnatedD, and many other con-
triDutory benefits to the governme ment.s
Representing a large class of employees
who have expressed a strong desire Tor
some kind of a retirement plan. one OF
the employeS has written as follows:
Since corporations find straight
pension "A good business proposition,
and inasmuch as government salaries
are so small and the cost of living 50
great, the straight civil pension would
seem to he the just and equitable one
I think. however. that government en-
ployes would welcome any KIND OF a
pension system that would enable old
and faithful clerks to retire.

CITIZENS PROTESTS HEEDED.
High Wall at South End of Logan
Park Being Removed.

The superintendent of public build
ines and grounds has at last yielded to
the protests of the Anacostia Citizens
Association and Is causing the high
wall at the south end of Logan Park to
be removed. Ever since this wall was
built the citizens have repeatedly en-
tered strong objections to it's presence,
thing detracting materially from the
beauty of the park. 1t obstructed the
view of persons residing south of the
park, and because of its height which
was about twelve feet, gave the ap-
pearance of a fort rather than a park.
Another complaint was to the effect
that drivers of vehicles could not see
approaching vehicles when passing it,
and accidents were thus promoted. The
wall will be lowered SO that it will not
be Objectionable.
