readjustment of postal rates with a
view of making possible 1-cent letter
postage. A survey of the situation in
dicates that sufficient changes will be
r,ade to permit the granting of a
1, cent rate on local delivery letters
ir the next session of Congress.
Chairman Moon of the House postal
committee today said:
81 think that the committee will
take up this second class mail matter
at the next session and press it to a
conclusion at once. While | cannot
Ispeak for the committee, this is my
desire in the matter. l do not know
what kind of a bill we will pass;
whether it will have zone feature
lattached to it or not. This view has
been presented frequently in years
past, and sometimes received favor and
sometimes not. AS to what shape the
legislation will be in l am not able
to say, but l am sure the committee
will give it the best possible shape in
the public interest"
Congressman Dill of Washington
said: "Such legislation would be spe-
cially valuable to local merchants in
developing new business. The country
is growing more prosperous each day
and a cheaper drop letter postage
would, in my opinion, aid in making it
more prosperous than it has ever
BEEN"

ONE GENT POSTAGE
IS BEING BOOSTED

Washington, Nov. 28.-1he ways
are now being creased for the launch
ing of the movement for the readjust-
ment Of postal rates in the next ses-
sion of Congress. This problem was
t. have been taken up in the last ses-
sion, but had to be deferred on ac-
count of the consideration required by
railway mail pay. Since this has been
disposed of the committees are pre-
pared to take up the matter Of placing
the various postal rates on a more
equitable basis.
A zone system of rates for second
class matter is being prominently
urged to take the place of the pres
ent flat rate, which was adopted near
l.. forty years ago. The present rate
kas for some time been regarded as
discrimination against the newspa-
pers in favor of the great national
magazines. Like the parcel post, the
proposed zone rates would be based
or the length Of the haul.
The postal committees have been
besieged by petitions bearing millions
Ct names and several hundred thou
sand letters from individuals urging

fornia said: "Since the government
derives a very great profit from let
ters carried and delivered at distant
points, it is certain the profit real
lied on local, or the SO called drop
letters, must be exorbitant. In view
of this condition, which is vouched
for by postal experts, I believe that
Congress will be justified in taking
action.
Congressman Macarthur of Oregon
takes the stand that "the cost of trans
porting letter should have something
t, do with the postage rate, and
there is no valid reason why more
than / cent should be charged for To-
cal deliveries. If my bill becomes a
law it will have a great tendency to
stimulate business"
Congressman Humphrey of Wash
ington said: 81 cannot believe that it
is fair or just that al the people
should )e taxed for tie benefit of
c, magazine publ .shers cf the coun-
,ry. This is exactly what is done un-
der the present system of 2-cent pos
;ase. Every person who places a
Z-cent stamp on letter is taxed l
cent for the benefit of the maga-
zines"
Congressman Randall of California,
a member Of the postal committee and
author of the zone rate bill for sec
end class matter, says that his bill
is designed to remove several gross
evils or abuses from which the Amer
lean people suffer in the administra-
ton of the postal affairs of the coun-
try.
"The time has come," said Mr..
Randall, "when the postal service must
be put on a business basis. Discrim-
nations against the man who buys
the 2-cent stamp and against the pub
lishers of the newspaper in the local
field must cease. The postal rate OF
cent per pound which is granted as
virtual subsidy to the national pa
pers of the magazine class, has re-
suited in fabulous fortunes for pri-
vs te interests, and to which the postal
department is given a plain contribu-
ton of more than $S0,000,O00 annu-
ally"

EXULT|NC
OVER LAST
ELECTION

While the returns; of the Prohibition
party vote have been very meager
and slow to arrive, it is announced
from Prohibition national committee
headquarters that they have been gen.
eral enough to give positive indica-
ticn of al arge increase in the vote
over the 1912 result. Nothing but
cheering news has been received at
Prohibition headquarters, and every
report has brought indications of a
splendid advance of the Prohibition
cause.
In the absence of anything other
than very incomplete returns from
only a few states, the party leaders
have looked to specific prohibition sue
cesses for indications of progress and
they have not been hard to find. The
drying up of Michigan, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Montana is no long
er news, but history to the Prohi-
bitionists of the nation, who rejoiced
over the addition of these four COM
monwealths to the dry territory Of
the nation. The reelection of Con-
gresham C. H. Randall of Califor-
ria, party Prohibitionist, by hand
some majority, was good news, and a
splendid endorsement Of the party's
first representative in Congress. The
Prohibitionists have every reason to
te jubilant over the election Of Hon.
Sidney J. Cats os governor of Florida
on the Prohibition ticket, the distinc-
ton of being the first party Prohi-
bition candidate to be elected to that
high office going to the Southerner,
who was bitterly fought by the liquor
interests and the opposing parties of
his state. Governor elect Cats is a
statesman who had the courage to
fight, and the splendid work Of the
Prohibitionists of the state, led by
Chairman John P. Coffin, brought a
great victory. A dry legislature will
help Governor Cats put the remain
ing liquor interests out of Florida,
and the new state government of
Utah, pledged unequivocally to state
and national prohibition, will dry up
that state without unnecessary de-
lay.
But for st. Louis, with its brewery
interests, Missouri would have joined
liquor in the state. The St. Louis
vote, however, was enough to offset
the majority vote against liquor.
The Prohibition party sees much to
feel good about in these instances
of Prohibition progress. It is good
to have had an important part in
bringing about these good results.
The trail of the Prohibition Hanly-
Iandrith Special will be found in
those states added to the dry column
on November z, and the Prohibition
party is gratified to have been able
to have its great part in the work,
which, with the aid and cooperation
cf the other splendid agencies for the
abolition Of the saloon, will mean a
majority of the states dry, in the
near future; a good majority of the
territory dry, and large majority of
the people living in dry territory.
Such a condition is admittedly fore
runner Of the national prohibition
which is destined to come by 1920.
Alaska's splendid indication of pro-
gress should not be overlooked. 1t
is significant of sound citizenship in
that rich north territory that the peo-
pie voted overwhelmingly to put a
ban on this self-same booze which
"in the good old days" was consid-
cred so necessary to mining commu-
mites and the cold temperature of
the North and West.

JEFFERSON CROPS
HURT BY STORM

The heaviest rainfall in several
month, accompanied by terrific
thunder and vivid flashes of light
ming, visited Pine Bluff early last
night, preceded by strong high
wind, which later in the night took
on the form of a half-grown tornado
for short period.
In the immediate vicinity of Pine
Bluff, so far as could be ascertained
last night, there was no material
damage done.
From Rob Roy. there came reports
that number of telegraph poles had
been levelled. putting wires out of
commission. Rumors that much
damaged had been suffered in that
section could not be verified. Means
CT communication were not at hand.
A rumor in circulation here in the
afternoon that Fordyce had suffered
heavy damage proved without founda-
ticn. The Graphic communicated
with the mayor about 5 o'clock. and
he said there was no damage there.
Cotton Belt wires north were out of
commission. The road reported also
several trees down near Faith,
damaging wires.
Memphis Hot Springs, Texarkana,
points south on the Cotton Belt and
Iron Mountain. were all out of reach.
Most of the night. Little Rock was
"lost." Most of these cities and
towns were 'lost" to both telephone
and telegraph service.
Trees down. fences leveled, out
buildings damaged, appeared to be
the extent of the damage in Pine
Bluff.

Deputy Sheriff j. l. McBurnett was
at Redfield when the storm passed
there. The force of the wind was
terrific, he says.
The store of VIM. Simpson. which
was blown over about four inches out
of plumb by recent storm. was
Strengthened by the wind yesterday.
The roof of the Tom Moore store was
partly unroofed.

tween Redfield and Pine Bluffs badly
