LOCAL POSTOFFICEI

The work of inspecting the Rich
mond postoffice, taking in every de-
partment and the manner in which
the big amount of business is trans
acted, the reception and distribution
OF mail and the 101 other things to
be looked after, has been finished,
since the regular inspection is just
over, and one little word stands op-
posite the name Richmond, on the
report sheet of the inspectors book
to be turned in, and that one word
is "Good'
Uncle Sam has. three classes into
which he lists the management of his
postofices. The first is "good", the
second, "fair", and the third, ''indif-
ferent".
1t has to be in tie best condition
to get in the first division which is
characterized as being good. This is
the class used by the Inspector when
he placed on the record the report for
the local Office. The fact became
known to postmaster R. C. Stockton
and that official feels highly gratified
not only on his own account, but on
account of his force of attaches
which, he claims, is about the best
ever. The hearty cooperation OF
their efforts he claims is what renders
the system both successful and salts

The business at the local office has
shown steady increase during the
past several months. Especially this is
the case in the parcel post service
This department is said to be growing
to such proportion in Richmond that

be reckoned with if there is continu-
ance.

WHAT ABOUT M'hDOO
TEN MILLION FUND

Washington, May Ex-senator
ial investigators of presidential
campaign funds today began to
focus all their power of inquisi-
ton on friends of VIM. G.. Nc
Adoo, in an effort to tear aside
the mystery shrouding what Sen
ator Kenyon today described as
this invisible McAdeo cam
aign."
Baked up to now in its efforts
to learn what forces, if any, are
working for Mr. McAdoo's nom
nation in San Francisco and what
campaign funds have been raised
and expended, the committee to-
day called prominent democratic
politicians to tell all they know
about the McAdoo movement.
Particular attention is to be
paid to stories that a campaign
fund of from S5,0OO,OOO to $10,-
100000 was promised for the Nc
Adoo campaign. Probe as it
would, the committee has been
unable to learn definitely whether
these stories had any foundation,
Bernard M. Baruch has been
-ecalled. Mr.. Baruch denied cate
gorically and with great empha-
sis the other day when he was be-
fore the committee that he had
given, solicited or promised any
money to help nominate or elect
Mr.. McAdoo or anyone else.
The committee now desires to
ask him whether he attended a
meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic Nation
al Committee in Atlantic City last
September and through men,
Der of the committee offered, on
behalf of himself and others, to
provide 100000 or more for
the national campaign, if the
committee would sponsor Mr.
McAdoo's cause.

GIGANTIC TASK
FACED BY BELCIANS
Heavy Tax Levies As Result Of
War Do Not Dishearten The
Plucky Nation
(By Associated Press)

New York, May 29.-Belgium has
entered into the spirit of heavy taxa
ton in her fight to rehabilitate her
finances impaired by the war. The
government has recently created new
indirect taxes and the parliament has
voted an income tax, which progresses
to a maximum of 27 per cent. The
returns from these new taxes are to-
day sufficient to cover all of the Bel
gian budget charges, according to F..
Hankar, director of the Banque Ma
tional of Belgium, who has just ar
rived in New York, and who was in
New York last autumn at the head of
the Belgian Industrial Commission,
which took part in the Atlantic City
conferences.
"Our people are willing to stand
these new levies," said Mr. Hankar,
although they will be rather heavy
burden for them to bear in view of
the financial efforts everybody has
made since the work OF reparatlon was
begun. To accomplish their appoint
ed task, the Belgian people subscribed
to loans of s2,50O,000,000, which in
proportion to population is comparable
to an internal American loan of $751;
500,000,000. The national public debt
today is about $4,000 100000, at pre-
war rate of exchange. Balancing these
are assets consisting of the repaired
railroads, telephones, telegraph lines
and canals, and also the 81 SOC, 900, 900
in the Reichsbank in Berlin, which the
Germans have recognized as an obi
cation to Belgium and which will be
repaid at par, that is, 81 ,500,000,000.
