POST OFFICE BILL
/. IS BEFORE HOUSE
Carries Increased Rates on
Publications, Under the
Zone System.
PENNY POSTAGE IN CITIES

The annual post Office appropriation
bill reported to the House today car
ries provisions to increase rates on
newspapers, magazines and other sec
ond- class matter by zone system, es-
tablishes penny postage on local let
tiers, and imposes heavier penalties Tor
sending liquor through the mails.
The bill would appropriate $329,aS3,
100. 100000 more than the current
post office act. readjust rural carriers
salaries and increase the pay of num-
Der of employees.
Publishers Have Protested.
Magazine publishers have protested
vigorously against the rate increase,
which would affect only publications
carried more than 300 miles. and Post
master General Burleson proposed TO
Chairman Moon of the House post Of
fee committee a substitute provision
to postpone the effectiveness of the IN
crease for a year after the measure pc,
comes law. The bill as reported
would make the rates apply after June
80, however. and Mr.. Moon has not in
dicated what action will be recon-
mended on Mr.. Burleson's suggestion.
The bill probably will be debated in
the House within a few days.
The bill directs that hereafter cata-
logues and similar publications be
classified as third-class mail matter
with increased postage. Another sec
ton provides that after July next rural
carriers pay shall be based on length
of routes, time required to serve them
and quantity of mail transported.
Pay of Rural Carriers.
The maximum pay would be $4,000.
with a minimum of $3.50 a year. No
rural route which would require an au-
tomobile is to be established unless the
car can be used with reasonable reg
ularity throughout the year.
The Postmaster General is authorized
to create a guaranty fund. from as
sessments to be levied on post Office
employees accountable for postal funds
or property, to indemnify the govern
ment. Another new provision would
strengthen the anti-gambling laws, di-
rected against lotteries. gift enterprises
or schemes offering prizes dependent
upon chance.
One thousand dollars fine, two years
imprisonment, or both. are provided as
penalties for mailing liquors.

EXEMPTION ON ACCOUNT OF
DEPENDENCE

By the time the war department gets
through supplementing the draft law there
will be but few exemptions left. The
method by which the present drastic system
has been evolved from an innocent looking
law apparently full of loop holes is a most
remarkable Diplomatic success.
Had its far-reaching effects been an
ticipated it is more than probable that it
would have received pronounced opposition
i'll congress.
The rigid restriction of the exemptions
made in favor of dependents is not apt to
add popularity to the draft. The depart
ment has practically eliminated exemptions
based upon dependence of the conscript's
family.
No one with conception of justice will
advocate the restriction of this clause to the
extent that is now being suggested to local
boards. The clause has been interpreted
out of existance.

The war department has announced
that officers graduated from training camps
will be appointed to the officers reserve
corps where their age permits and they are
otherwise satisfactory. Such officers will
be detailed for service with the regular
army or national army during the war, and
at the conclusion of hostilities will go on the
inactive list, subject to call in later emery
encies. Officers appointed directly from the
training camps to the national army will be
mustered out at the end of the war.
