tor Townsend of Michigan has an
nounced his purpose to fight for the
militiamen who in normal times are
employed in the Mail Service. Many
private institutions have announced
ttat they will pay milifiamen their res
uiar salaries while they are on mill,
tary duty, or will at least give them
the difference between their regula.
salaries anu the amount it may be
necessary to pay substitutes to per
form their regular duties. according
to Senator Townsend. Not so, the
Postofice Department. In what the
Senator terms "a .bluff at economy"
not only have the militiamen been
dropped from the government rolls
but instead of employing temporary
substitutes the Postmaster General
has appointed men to the permanent
roll to fill the vacancies, thus putting
himself in a position where he cannot.
without an act of Congress. restore
those serving with the National
guard. Furthermore. the pay of sub
stitutes is fixed by law at 40 cents
an hour. while most of the regular
employees received considerably high
er compensation. Instead of seeking
authority from Congress to pay the
difference to the guardsmen-which
authority would have been readily
granted-Postmaster General Burleson
is filling the vacancies with perma-
nent men at 27l1c an hour and pur-
poses. Mr. Townsend declares. to uti-
lie the saving effected to make a show
ing of economy.

new YORK LETTER
(From our Regular correspondent)

WILSON AND RAILROAD STRIKE.
The efforts of the Government medi-
ators to settle the railroad controversy
and avert general strike, involving
probably 100000 men and over 200
railroads. having failed, President VIII
son has taken a hand and will endea-
vor to prevent this calamity. Not only
has Mr.. Wilson been appealed to by
business men and producers from all
over the country. but he realizes that
it is highly important to prevent this
strike. because it would be the climax
to the long series of labor difficulties
which have marked his administra-
tion. Regarding the presidents re-
quest, that they do not call strike
until they have conferred with him as
a command. the labor leaders have
agreed to go to Washington for con-
ference before they take action. Those
familiar with the situation gravely re-
gret that the administration no longer
has at its command the services of
Chas. P. Neill, who was Labor Com
missioner under Roosevelt and Taft
and who has greater success in set
tling labor difficulties than any other
man in the country. probably in the
world.

The article in yoar paper of Aug

careful supervision of the states

time TO properly maintain the credit

properly support the growing educa-
tional institutions.
Your principal error lies in the as
sumption that when the estimate of

made by the Legislature (Which in

estimated receipts to s2.S02, 700 90. /.
This would have left a deficit of $685.
900. The unexpected increase in the
receipts from the Inheritance tax has
wiped out this deficit and furnished a
surplus that will probably amount to
considerably over 100000.
l have no defense TO make OF the
practice of appropriating more money
than there is in sight. but it has al
ways been done with the result that

fifth class appropriations have never
been paid.

be paid in full and considerable

that general taxes raised to pay these

also call your attention to the
fact that the increase in the levy this

MORE MILITIA TO BORDER
Much mystery attaches to the order
ing by President Wilson of an addi-
tional $4,000 national guardsmen to
the Mexican border. The impression
prevails that the administration knows
conditions in Mexico to be even more
menacing than is generally realized.
and suggestions that the Carranza re-
gime is tottering and about to fall are
again rife. The Secretary of War has
asserted that the ordering of more
Inilitiamen to the border at this time
IS wholly without significance, explain
ing that the order Is due to the falling
off of enlistments and because tine
Guard was not fully equipped He
further adds that the training the men
will receive OF the border will be high
ly beneficial. The explanation is.
however. received with skepticism. for
the reason that all who are well In
formed realize that the guardsmen
could be far better trained in their
respective home camps. where they
would not be subjected to an unaccus-
toned and almost tropical climate;
that it is a serious menace to their
health to send them to the border
until they have haG adequate training,
both for the purpose of hardening
them physically and OF educating
them in the proper methods Of caring
for themselves and protecting their
health in the field. There is every rea,
