SHOWS MAIL PROFIT
Surplus of s2,342,851 for 1919,
Figures Presented by Post
/ master General Prove.

: A surplus OF s2.34z,s51 in postofice
operations for the fiscal year 1919
was announced in the annual report
of Postmaster General Burleson-
This is the sixth time in the seven
years of the present postoffice ad-
ministration that revenues had ex-
ceeded expenditures. An aggregate
surplus Of more than s35,oo0.ooo as
compared to an aggregate deficit of
more than $50. s.oo0.e eoo for the preced-
Ing seven-year period Is shown.
Revenues under this administra-
fion." the report says, Increased
s737,5e7.S1s. or at the rate of 50.6s
per cent. compared with the seven
year period prior to the time 1t as
sumed office; expenditures increased
only ss43,335,795, or at the rate of
42.4s per cent"
Policy In Defended.
Much OF the criticism leveled at
the departments financial policy Mr..
Burleson said, was due to lack of
complete and accurate information
The facts, as presented" he added.
'stell a story of achievement They
DO not call for explanations or apollo
giles and none are given The ad
p ministration stands squarely on its
record"
Discussing improvements in the
service, Mr.. Burleson said nothing
had been left undone within his
authority ito effect readjustments in
the interest of all the people and not
in that of any special class"
Mr.. Burleson again asked repeal of
legislation permitting affliation of
organizations of postal employees with
1ahor oroapfzotfnpS sUbich sanction
recourse to the strike or boycott to
enforce their demands"
II again call the attention of Con-
gress to the improperly of Govern
ment employees owing allegiance to
any organization which might stand
between them and the Government"
Mr.. Burleson said
Reafnrms Zone Stand.
Reaffirming after detailed discus
sion his previous stand as to zone
rates on publications, Mr.. Burleson
said:
-The Postmaster General has al
ways believed that low, nat rate of
postage should apply to reading mat
ter, but he Is also frm that that this
low rate should not apply to that por-
tion of the publication devoted to ad-
vertising or commercial useA"
Mr.. Burleson devotes considerable
space to development of the air mail
service, concluding with this state
ment:
The air mail service of the United
States is the only practical CONNER
cial aeroplane service in the world
mo service in coreign countries COM
psres with IL in magnitude, in con-
tinuous dependability, and in benefits

the temperature reaches about the
polling point of water. the plates will
break down or will show. when the
battery is opened. that they have been
burnt. This is indicated by the
ioosened active material or by buck
ling OF the plates.
Another danger to the plates '.ae-
cording to Mr. Broby, is that O, bav-
Ing them charged in the wrong diroc-
ZION. This happens when the hat.
terry has been put into the car in
correctly and the connections have
been reversed. This is common
mistake by motorists in installing
newly charged battery-an operation
that should always be left to the scr
vice station. II the current is not
w 'hS udtteTy IN the wrong
direction for too long time, the bat
terry may be destored by recharging
IN the right direction. but even then
the life of the battery has been
greatly shortened AS rule, howey-
err battery which has been charged
In the wrong direction is beyond
hope.
IF 1t is necessary to change the
battery in a car it is better to bring
1t to service station where the work
will be done by experts. vesta Ser
vice Stations everywhere have earned
the good will of the motorlst by the
interest they take in his battery. no
matter what make it is, Experts are
always at hand to inspect your bat
terry free Of charge and can often
make suggestions which will help to
add many months of service to it's

DISPOSITION OF THRAeE

Mr.. King. Mr.. President, | should
like the attention of hte chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations
TO matter | desire to bring to his
attention. | apologize for teh obser-
walton which | am going to make to
the distinguished chairman OF the
Committee on Foreign Relations and
TO the membership of that commit
tee. Some time ago resolution was
offered in the Senate expressing the
views OF the Senate in respect to the
disposition which the peace confer
ence should make OF the territory of
Thrace. sincerely hope that the
committee on Foreign Relations. to
whom the resolution was referred,
may report the resolution at as early
date as possible. for the reason
that, as | understand the peace cos
ference has not yet reached a con-
clusion as to what arrangement shall
be made in the treaty with respect TO
Thracian territory.
We were advised that representa-
lives OF our own government at the
peace conference made a proposition
70 absurd as, in my opinion. to call
for dissent from the American peo-
pie and from those who are familiar

with the situation in the Balkans
The proposition which they made, as
1 understand, was to divide Thrace
into a number of parts a portion
was to be given to Greece, another
portion to Bulgaria. another portion
was TO be internationalized, and
am not sure what disposition was to
be made of the other remnants. That
policy, 1t seems to me, was entirely
wrong. II disregarded the ethnograph
ic and geographic conditions.
have felt that an expression from
the Senate OF the United States with
respect to the disposition which they
think should be made OF Thrace may
influence the representatives OF our
government at the peace conference.
At any rate think that we should
place our seal of disapproval upon
that proposed ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
of Thrace. and that we
should express our view that the
territory should be given
to Greece. sincerely hope that the
committee on Foreign Relations will
report the resolution at an early date
in the hope that II may have some
Influence upon the peace congress.

SHIPMENT IMPROBABLE

The movement for securing a shipment of surplus army supplies various kinds of fOodstuffs, from the government for this dis trct which was inauguratcd last week and followed up Wednesday evening by the city council, does not seem to have very much chance for success The time limitation on shipments for interior Alaska points is a bar to any favorable action that the authorities might be inclined to take. Freight for Fair banks must be loaded on ships at Seattle docks by next Thursday in order to insure delivery
 It takes some time to find a way thru the red tape which enmeshes proceeding of this kind More time is required to make the ship ment from the supply depots, possibly located in the East to Seattle. It is, therefore highly improbable that the requested shipment will be made
 And even should there have been plenty of time in which to act, The Citizen believes that the war department would not make a shipment of the supplies asked for without further information as to conditions. It has never been a policy of the government to en- ter into competition with legitimate business. It would first have to be shown that the people of this district are being held up, that system atic profiteering is being carried on by local

The senate committee on appropriations does we'll in insisting on increasing the house allowance of only S2,O0OOOO to &l2OOOOO0 even i'll these hard times 1t is d development that will more than pay for itself, aud since the government is financing 1t amyhoW if should be pushed speedily. The committee also appropriates $1OOOOO to combat tine iulIucuza epidemic, and ,OOO for development of the herring fisheries. These three items are sig nificant ill that they pick out the chief press ing necessities transportation, better public aid in sanitation and social welfare and cu couragement Of the fisheries. Given trou,pur- tation, the mining and allied industries can more than take care of themselves.
 Alaska has been somewhat mcolcCtcd of late, inevitably so during the war, when other matters were more urgent, but the present congress is ill position to resume tine interrupt ed improvements. Now, however, the prime need of this vast territory Cover 59O00O square miIes) is transportation; railroads to supplement its magnificent river routes, to open up not only it's gold fields, but its cop per- coal and other mineral wealth, the total of which is enormous, beyond computation Even under the Vagueness of general knoWl edge there is no need to argue about Alaskan mineral riches
 Iess known to the average citizcn but possibly of even greater importance, is the food supply that may be drawn from Alaska, especially from the fisheries A few years ago the Alaskan shipments of salmon and other fish amounted to over 30 per cent of our total fisheries; today they are doubtless more and they can be almost unlimitedly increased. Nor IS Mir. StefanssOn's advice as to use of the Arctic countries to raise meat supply at all fantastic. Very little intelligent encourage ment has been given to od-producing enter prses More should be done, in all possible lines.
 There is also room for much private and governmental effort toward social welfare, protection of health, education and the ameni- ties of life. Medical aid is particularly needed in the north, as pr. Hudson Stuck, arch deacon of the Yukon, points out in an inter- esting article in the current SCribner'S. There is but one hospital in the whole Arctic terri tory, to care for a population already much larger than most readers suppose and steadily growing Here is a chance for individual ef- fort, but the government itself should act and act Eberally. We can afford to deal @ener ously with Alaska

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Fairbanks and the people of this district are glad to extend the hand ol welcome to Nessrs. EIalIoWcU Ncar~ and Brooks More than delighted to know that they will take the time to look over the country and willing to show them everything that we have.
 It is land rich in opportunities that they will behold Only excessive costs prevent the immediate realization ot these opportunities. Mines will be shown them that are still pro- ducing, but alongside of these producers, and on other creeks that they will not have the time to visit, are other mines which cannot be worked under present conditions
 They will visit our farms and see for themselves that what has been said and writ ten about the agricultural possibilities of the district has been conservative. There is roou here in the Panama valley for thousands more of just such farms.
 In their trips along the railway, over country roads, they will see mile after mile of grazing land And there are thousands of acres of similar land that they will not be able to see, just as rich ill possibilities as that which is shown them.
 And three main needs exist to make pos SlDIC ulG luIlIultuJ OI UIC OIIINt OI IIIlN IdIlI of rich opportunity. They are equal in impor- tancc, and all probably dependent upon each other. One is cheap transportation. We will get this in the Alaska railroad We look to Colonel Mcars for the earliest possible com pletion of this.
 Another is an adequate system of wagon roads, opening up the remoter districts. It i~ as much to the interest of the federal govern ment to construct these as it is to Alaska, as the former is owner of most of Alaska's re- sources.
 The third is cheaper power. If millions of yards of Soldbearing dirt is to be worked and the precious metal it contains extracted we must have this last.
 No better investment of money can be made by the government than in the three things named above With them, the interior of Alaska, will hum with the industry of mine and farm.
 Mr. HalIoWeI, Colonel Mears and pr, Brooks, you have seen but a fraction of our land but small portion of our resources, but we believe that you must realize that with proper aid, "Alaska Can Pay the Nations s War Debt"

merchants, and that such practices are rau~- ing distress among the people
 This has not been shown, nor has ir even been attempted. It i~ too true that prices oj nearly all commodities are higher than aul one likes to see and pay. But can this -ratco ol affair, be charged to local merchants. II it can be proven to be the ease. the local lyl- craI attorney has sufficient grounds for prose cutlom under the food control act.
 All the information we can get. from irt- ters from the states, from current publications being received, and from conversations with people who have returned from the Outside indicates that prices in Fairbanks are cheaper in proportion to the cost ol things and ol doing business here, than anywhere in the United States. Ii this be true and there seems to be little room for doubt about ii, the federal government will hardly ship in such staple articles as flour, sugar, milk and cured meals, the heaviest investment that the local mcr chants have, thus seriously up,cuiu@ local market conditions.
 The dc>irabity oi IoWcrina the urc-cm cost of living and operating in this district l> great But the present method being attempt cd i, questionable ocaI merchant shave just as much rilf Int to consideration as amy other class ol people, Their investments are due a, much protection as that of any one c~c And in being fair to others, fairness must also be observed toward them
 We realize that the present high prices are holding back the dyNyopcmcnt oi the country But that cannot be charged against the local merchant. IIc has to buy hi, goods on the states markets buy them in sufficient quantities to run him the years round, store them in warm storage warehouses as we'll a. cold storage, pay high rate of insurance a high rate of interest on his investment. anI in many cases is today selling articles for less than he can buy other articles to replace what he sells
 Much of the high cost oi doing business in the interior will be wiped out with the com pIction of the railroad to the coast We will then have direct communication with the Out side markets the year round. The necessity for keeping full tWclvcmonth stocks will cease, less money will be required for investment freight rates will be cheaper and deliveries more rapid. These changes are sure to lower the living cost and make it possible go again resume progressive development of vast area of mincralized country now hiu9 idle.
