Government Charges for Postage

The post Office is of the great inventions for pro-
noting the welfare of the people and is cheap at any
price. We have always paid however, too large price.
We have paid too high salaries to post and
poyed good many half-ide workers in the Postal De-
partment, and the post Office has come out with fat
deficit year after year,
The made it necessary to make government de-
partments efficient and less expensive The raise
in postage hope can be taken of before long that
go back TO two cents per letter.
Another device in which the post office dimnishes
its deficit ought continue namely the Zone System
newspapers large part of the loss of the Post Office
Department comes from transporting newspapers which
weighted down with costly advertising vast dis
tances. The Zone System provides that newspapers
tanning advertising matter shall pay higher when
they go beyond certain distances 1t has diminished the
loss of the Post Office Department and the money
advertising which they carry We hope this system
which is based upon justice and fairness will continue.

IL now appears that, as one Of the
results Of President Wilson's trip 10
Europe. America will have the pri-
vilege OF entertaining the head Of
the Governments Of England, France,
and possibly Italy. In this connec-
ton President poincare Of France
has just announced the fact that he
will probably make a trip TO Ameri-
ca next June or July. There is also
reason TO believe that King George
Of England will visit this country
in the near future; and while there
has as yet been no definite an
nouncement regarding the matter,
there seems TO be little doubt that
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy will
also return the Presidents visit by
making a trip TO the United States.
