TUBES ISSUE
CAUSES VETO
OF P. 0. BILL
Executive Follows Burleson
Arguments in Giving
Reasons.

BY vetoing the postoffice appropria-
ton biliS which made prov'sion for the
continued service of the postoffice
pneumatic tubes in postal delivery in
the cities of New York, Brooklyn. Chi
cago. Boston. st. Louis and Philadel-
phia, President Wilson brought to an
end the long fight against the tubes.
which will now 60 out OF service.
Automobiles WIN take the place of
the tubes in the cities named.
The House sustained The veto by
the vote of 1s7 to IL. and within few
moments after taking this action
rassed a new bill In which the appro-
rriation intended for the tube service
Is eliminated.
The bill was then hurried to the
Senate, where, after a brief statement
by Senator Bankhead. chairman of
the -Postoffice Committee. 1t was
passed without opposition
BurIeson Fought Tubes.
Postmaster General surleson has
fought the tubes through three ses-
sions Of Congress. but the representa-
tives from the cities in which the
tubes are used have always been able
10 muster enough votes 20 defeat the
Postmaster Generals recommends
tions. This year the House refused
to make an appropriation for the
tubes. but the Senate amended the bill
to continue the tube service and the
House. by a majority of one vote, ac-
cepted the Senate's amendment Fri
day. At that time, Chairman Moon.
Of the House Postoffice Committee,
made the prediction that the bill
would be vetoed because il contained
this provision.
Notwithstanding this prophecy,
the veto of the President came as
surprise. The bill did not reach
him until after noon and barely
more than two hours elapsed from
the time of its delivery at the White
House until it was brought back
to the House by a messenger from
the President, who announced that
the bill had met with his disap-
proyaL
Reasons For Veto.
The Presidents reasons for dis
approving the further use of the
tubes followed very closely the
recommendations made by Post
master Burleson in his annual re-
ports and in his statements to COM
mittees OF Congress. In the main
they are that the tubes are unre-
liable, that the service is subject
to frequent breakdowns resulting in
loss of mail. and that closer con-
nections with mail trains may be
made by the use OF automobiles. The
President says that he was guided
by reports of postal experts who
have reported adversely on the tube
service.
Prevent Passage Over Veto.
When the message had been read
to the House, Representative Steen-
ersen. of Minnesota, moved that the
bill become a law. despite the dis
approval of the President. On this
vote thirteen Democrats. all bat two
of whom were from New York,
ninety-eight Republicans, and Lon
don, Socialist, voted aye"

No commodities may now be ex-

SEED SUPPLY FOR SOWING THE
GENERAL CROP UNDER THE
COUNTY BONDING LAW.

While it is evident that those whose
duty it is to procure large volumes of
grain for sowing the general crop to
be supplied to farmers under the
County Bonding Act will have little
difficulty in finding sufficient volume
of high terminating quality, it is
equally evident that they will have
great difficulty in finding n supply of
seed which is unmixed and as free
from weed seeds as most farmers
would wish. The chief source of sup
ply is carload lots and elevator lots,
after the grain has been handled over
many times.
My advice is for all of those who
are able and have farm machinery
suitable for cleaning seed grain, to
get it in shape and be prepared to re-
clean any seed which may finally come
to you. This office and that of the
State Commissioner of Agriculture
will do everything possible to have the
bulk seed stocks furnished to the
counties of as high purity as possible.
All, however, should understand that
while the grain selected will be the
cleanest that can be obtained in bulk
lots, it will be wise to prepare to i'm
prove it's seed quality by recleaning
when it reaches the farm.
If through storage houses the coun-
ty commissioners are in position to
put in local re-cleaning facilities it
would greatly aid in making use Of
many fine stocks of seeds which are
now in this state. and of many local
country supplies which might not
otherwise be available. I therefore
highly recommend establishment
wherever possible, county cleaning
stations at delivery points.

We are this week running a page
ad on the War Savings Stamps, and
this space is paid for by the pro-
gressive business men of Linton, ten
in all, and their names appear at the
bottom of the ad. There may have
been few more merchants in town
that would have liked to go in on
this, but we did not have time to
see everyone, but we suggest that
those who would like to run w. S.
S. ads to come in and see us and we
will furnish you with suitable copy.
These stamps as we'll as the Liberty
Bonds must be advertised to make
them a success, and the government
does not expect the newspaper men
to give their white space for this
purpose as it is practically the only
thing we have to sell, but we are
willing to give our share and have
been giving ever since the war broke
out and will continue to give all we
can editorially. There is not week
goes by that we do not have some
thing in our columns that is help
to our government in the line of pub
LEFTY. We were pleased to note the
way the business men took hold of
this proposition, and we can safely
say that they will never begrudge a
cent spent in this way, as it is ex-
ceptionally good advertising for the
government and for the men whose
names appear at the bottom of the
ad as well as for the city of Linton,
for it will go to show that the bus
mess men are standing by Uncle
Sam in this war for Democracy.
