THE PEOPLE PAY.


CCORDlN to Treasury reports the debt Of the United
n States increased s795OOO00O during August and now
amounts 10 more than s26OO0OO000O
The increase in August about 81 per capita for
the entire population of the country, about s35 per
family.
That means that on average, the debt Of every
family in the United states increased $50 in that one
month
The average debt of each family in the United states
because OF the National indebtedness is about 200
This serves recall the statement made by Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo during Liberty Loan campaign
just two years ago. when he said:
"The American people not asked TO give anything
to their government but merely TO invest small per
cent OF the annual increment Of wealth and take in
turn from their the strongest security the
face of Gods earth"
IT, on an average each family invested $1,000 in Liberty
bonds and now has to dig up average $1,000 in
taxes to pay off the bonds, was that in fact an invest
ment or was 1t merely postponement Of the day of pay
ment Of the debt?
And in addition to paying off their own bonds the
people must pay several millions OF interest and many
more billions of war expenditures and wastes in the
form of current taxes for which bonds issued
Mr. McAdoo cannot make the people believe that they
can lift themselves by their bobt-straps.

Increases in Salaries Are imperative
tFrom the Postal Record.

The continued increase in the cost Of
living is having a depressing effect on
the employees in the postal service and
they are chaflng under a condition
which denies them a sufficient wage to
purchase the actual necessities of life
In fact these provoking conditions have
required letter carriers and other postal
employees 10 lower their standard OF liy-
ing TO a degree that actually endangers
their health. Hundreds OF competent and
trained employees have resigned from
the postal service and there are no
available civil service registers from
which the vacancies can be filled, and
in consequence the postal service is in
a deplorable condition
Realizing that something should be
done TO try and check the designations
and TO bolster mp the postal service and
avert a possible crisis, Representative
Madden Of Illinois introduced a joint
resolution in the House Of Representa-
tiyes on July 10, 1919, which reads as
follows.
Resolved by the Senate and House OF
Representatives OF the United States OF
America in. Congress assembled, That
wherever the exlgencies of the service
require it, because Of extraordinary and
unusual conditions, the Postmaster
General may. during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1920. pay employees OF the
Postal Service. in addition 10 the regular
salaries provided in the Act approved
February 2s, 1919, making appropria-
tions for the service OF the Post once
Department for the fiscal year ending
June 30 1920, an amount not to exceed
80 per centum Of the basic salary pro-
vlded therein. such additional cOmpen-
satlon to be paid from the regular ap-
proprlatiOns provided for such EN-
ployes.
THE Postmaster General shall report
10 Congress on the first day Of each
regular session the cities where such
increases were authorized. the number
and grade of the employees affected, and
the additional compensation paid TO
such employees"
OF a meeting OF the Committee on the
Post Onlce and Post Roads held on July
2i, 1919, this resolution was referred to
the Postmaster General for considera-
ton and such recommendation as he
deemed proper 10 make We learned
that the Postmaster General in sub
mitting his views 10 the committee
stated
1T would be advantageous at the
present time If the Department were
granted the authority covered by this
resolution. It should be understood,
however, that the Department does not
construe this resolution as intending

per cent shall be granted all employees

, alarming number OF designations OF
highly trained employees on account OF
the inadequate salaries paid them. II
was to correct this condition by provid-
ing temporary relief for the employees
pending the report Of the Joint Postal
Commission on Revision Of Salaries that
Mr. Madden had hoped to get the CO.
operation Of the Post once Department
officials.
In view OF the fact that the Postmas-
ter General believes an emergency ex-
lists only in a few instances, and that
he would exercise the discretion pro-
posed in the resolution only in such
places. Mr.. Madden is convinced that
the resolution, II enacted into law in its
present form, would not accomplish the
purpose he desires. Congressman Mad
den has made study Of the needs OF
the postal service TO a greater extent
probably than any other man in Con-
gress. He is deeply interested in the
postal service and also In the welfare
of the employees.
The cost OF living has continued to
increase steadily during the last year
TO an extent that caused employers in
other lines OF effort TO increase the
wage scales OF their employees. These
increases have TO a great extent kept
pace with the increase in prices OF
commodities In many instances in
creases TO the extent OF 100 per cent.
and more have been allowed the wage
carners since 1915. Letter carriers and
post ofllce clerks have received a total
temporary increase of % per cent. since
l,ofr l., Cd IN
This increase was due and should have
been made permanent in 1915, but was
not granted by the Congress until one
year ago, and in fact the employees
did not begin TO enjoy the full benefit
of the increase until July 1, 1919.
At the present time the postal en-
plOyes are confronted with very serl-
Gus situation. Their incomes will not
supply their actual needs. They are
confronted with a condition and not
with 4 theory. Immediate relief is i'm
perative, but it can only come through
the slow process OF Congressional ac-
ton 10 is therefore necessary 10 make
known the true conditions to the pub
lie and the Congress. We suggest that
the officers OF each Branch OF the Ma
tional Association Of Letter Carriers ar
range a conference with the represen-
tatives Of all the other employees in the
post office, and If possible with the
railway mail clerks and the. rural car
rlers, and arrange 10 have the officers

in fact every other postal employe,
write the two United States Senators
from their respective States and the
Representatives in Congress, drawing
their attention to the fact that while
the cost Of living has increased more
than so per cent. since 1915, and the
wages Of employees in the commercial
and industrial fields have been increased
accordingly, the postal employees have
only received a temporary increase OF
25 per cent. since 1907; that mechanics
