OF THE MOVEM mt

There is a movement on in Delaware
TO compel owners OF horses TO have
shoes on the animals at all seasons OF
the year.
II has been the custom OF owners OF
horses, especially in the two lower
counties, TO let the beasts go barefoot
ed during the summer, as it was said
the soft sandy roads would case the
strain on their feet. but new conditions
in Delaware are different. Concrete
boulevards are taking the place OF the
sandy roads, and even where you do not
find concrete the roads are all being
made with a hard. stoney foundation.
Many farmers are followeing the old
custom OF letting their horses and
mules go shoeless in the summer. In
stead Of easing the feet Of the animal,
the hard roads have made IL a cruelty.
and the practice Will soon be placed on
the black list

d~eteriorating service and increasing
rates under Postmaster General Burle-
sons control, William J. Deegan, sec
rotary of the Mackay companies, which
control the Commercial Cable Postal
Telegraph companies, said: We do not
think the government should wait until
June 30th, but it should turn back the
lines to the companies Immediately and
this could be done at midnight tonight
without causing the slightest disturb
ance to the wire companies or to the
business of the country. The only rea-
son given by Mr.. Burleson for holding
on to these lines is that he may finance
crippled telephone companies by in
creasing rates. The Postal Telegraph
Commercial Cables are asking for no
financial assistance from the United
States government and they do not
wish to increase rates and we will say
now that if Mr., Burleson thinks that
the Bell Telephone and the Western
Union or any other wire companies
need government assistance, we suggest
that he keep those for the present and
turn back our lines to us and it will
give us great pleasure to compete with
Mr.. Burleson in the telegraph and cable
business, Judging from the complaints
of deteriorated service which are be-
ing made since Mr.. Burleson took con
troll we have no doubt of our ability
to more thar hold our own against any
telegraphs and cables operated by him.
Means Cheaper Service.
Furthermore, in addition to the re
cent increase in telephone rates there
Is movement on foot to increase tele~
graph rates so the sooner the lines
are turned back the less likelihood there
is of an increase in the telegraph rates,
because if We get our lines back we
will not increase telegraph rates.
The national association of railways
and public utility commissioners are
right in their statement that the com :
pensation contracts agreed upon be-
tween PoStmaSter-General Burleson and
the Bell company are a discrimination
against other companies which were
not faVorably treated. The postmaster
general treated the Bell and the West
ern Union so literally in his compen
satiOn awards to those companies that
the government is losing heavily on
those contracts every day they con
tinue in force. Mr.. Burleson stated be
fore the house committee on the post
office that il the from the
lines were not adequate he would not
hesitate to raise the rates to enable
him to pay those Compensations. In
other words the telephones and tele,
graph rates are being and will con
tinue to be increased In order to enable
the acknowledgement to pay the
Western Union and the Bell Telephone
companies the high awards which he
made to them, We urge the immediate
return of the lines, or at least return
our lines to us and we will operate
them in competition with the govern
ment without increasing rates" r.
