have two cent postage again, friend
Burleson comes along with a new
schedule of rates for the newspapers
which just about doubles the postage

to be legitimate prey for the Postmas

them whenever things don't 60 right
around his office. He has nerve e..
ough to send all sorts of copy to them
which he expects to have printed
free of charge, and other government
officials are not a bit more bashful a.
bout 1t than he Is, but othey forget
all about this when they have to raise
more money some way because OF
their Democratic extravaganza, and
then the newspapers get it Ia the
neck. The least possible service at
the highest possible cost seems to be
the plan this government Is being
run on and 1t Is no wonder that the
people are clamoring for a change.

while he has a chance. He is about
the worst mistake that al ever given

that his time Is getting mighty short
