Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1916-03-02
[By Oliver Owen kuhn.1

About once in every so often some
body arises in the house of representa-
tives or in the senate and calls atten-
ton to the fact that Uncle Sans pos
tai service is costing a lot of money.
Cnmpa risons are made between the
deficit. say, Of the current or the past
year 18th deficits Of former years, ana
in sonorous tones the speaking MEM
Der or senator declares that steps
should be taken to convert this deficit
into a balance on the right side, or at
least into an even break. Then the
speaker sits back in his chair, orders
copies Of his speech sent to sev~ral
hundred of his constituents-andh helps
to make the deficit still bigger. y
A member of congress not long ago,
speaking on this subject, remarked
that if representatives. senators and
all other government officials were re-
quired to pay postage on all matter
they mailed the postal deficit would
be wiped out over night. Consider the
statistics herewith and judge how
nearly correct the assertion was. 5f
The folding room Of the house OF
representatives handle all speeches OF
members. as we'll as all public docu-
ments mailed by members of the house.
Last year more than 26,000.000 sep
arate pieces of mail were handled In
the folding room and placed In the
mails for distribution to every part OF
the United States and its dependencies.
And last year was not a big year.
Included in this enormous volume of
mailed matter, every piece carried un-
bo NH nf hnra 0f the
house. were more than 100000 public
documents, and a staggering total OF
more than $4,000, 900 copies of speeches.
Surprising that each piece go mailed
under frank and carried postage free
to the addressee required only one e
cent stamp, the bill for postage Wonid
have been something more than $52o,-
600. This was In the folding room OF
the house alone. The senate foldlng
room Last year handled just about one
third the volume Of public docupents
and speeches handled in the foldtng
room of the house, the total being ap-
proximate!y $500 separate pieces.
Two-cent stamps for each OF these
pieces would have cost about $l1S,ooo,
making a total Of around $6S6.0oe as
the amount the postal service lost ny
having to carry this matter under Of
fetal franks. So -
During the present year, because OF
the fact that it Is a Campaign year, tns !,
number of speeches = e ndied y anu y -
mailed in the house folding room y
expected to reach or exceed 30 0o0,oo W.
practically double the number handed
and mailed last year. The aa aslI = ex-

orders for mailing public documents,
speeches, ETC., as requests from con-
stituents or the requirements of the
boys back home appear to indicate.
The copies of the speeches are OBJ
tanned from the public printer at the
big government printing office. prob
ably the largest printing establishment
in the world, and are folded and
mated. Public documents are OBJ
tanned in the same manner, or from

Chicago, March 2.-Wheat showed
increased weakness today due largely
to the unsettled outlook as to Ameri-
can relations with Germany. A general
snowfall in the winter crop states

Chicago. March 2.-Wheat-Public
interest in the wheat market was less
apparent today and the market as
s,med quiet undertone with relative
ly moderate prices following. Selling
pressure largely the result OF freigh.
conditions the eastern movement being
slow on account of congestion and it
followed interferred with ocean traf-
tic a constant menace. 1t was diff
cult to trace the buying Of wheat but
the market absorbed offerings well and
showed less nervousness. By noon,
however, prices were at the low point
of the day. Some export business was
theughk to have been worked late yes
terday and buying by cash interests
tended to CONFIRM this belief.
Corn-LocaI traders seemed TO ex-
pect some help on the bear side from
wheat were fairly liberal sellers OF
corn. The market became over sold
early in the day and a fair rally oc-
CURED. July was firmer than the May
with a good class Of investment buy
ing. The cash market was quoted
steady to- cent higher. the latter on
sample grades
Oats-The export sales made yester-
day gave oats a firm undertone. Local
traders were best sellers. while cash
houses were credited with most Of the
buying. The cash market was firm,
with the delay in recent Of samples.

We have judged from what the

on the matter itself that some of the
readers of that paper have been feel
ing sore at the Mountaineer's pro-
nounced hostile attitude toward the
non-partisan league. Last week on
the editorial page was a half tone of
Lynn j. Frazier, the non-partisan
candidate for governor. But Editor
Lee added a little pep to the con-
cession made to the leagues guberna-
torial candidate from Pembina county
by something found in other columns
of that issue of the paper.

There are some thoughts worth
the time and consideration of both
township and county officials in the
letter which is given space in another
column of this weeks paper over the
signature of Robert Robertson, of
Stilweli. Roads all over the county
at the present time show the damage
and havoc that they sustained since
the opening up of spring and what
Mr.. Robertson has to say is timely
and to the point. We will go so far
as to say that we consider his idea a
practical one in the matter.
