COMPLAINTS IN ITALY.
About the Poor Postal and Telegraph
Service.

Rome, Sept. l7.-Complaint that the
government postal and telegraph serv-
ice is poor is crystallized in state.
ment by Professor Ngo Ancona, mem
Der of the recent Italian cabinet, who
declares that the ministry of posts
and telegraphs must be abolished and
organized anew. The professor sug
gests also that subsidiary branches
of the ministry, except the savings
banks, be given over TO private enter
prise, declaring that it is impossible
to go on as things now are.
Professor Ancona charges that the
ministry is hopeless maid of all
work" which tries to operate the pos
tai service, telegraphs. telephones, saw
ings banks, loans and national lot
teries and that it does all of these
services poorly. The public is rapidly
learning to send parcels by private
state more than 20 per cent do not ar
riveA while 30 per cent of those re-
ceived are without their contents, says
the professor He charges also that
the ministry of posts is enormously
overstaffed with about $4,000 EN-
ployes. some of whom are terribly un
derpaid,' and that discipline and or
ganization rae sadly wanting.
The ministry had deficit equivalent
to sl3,O00,000 in its budget for last
year owing to greatly increased oper.
ating expenses and wages. The def
icit is expected to reach S30.000000
for the current wear.

PROTEST TO WASHINGTON.
Against Assessment of U. S. Income
Tax in Argentina.

Buenos Aires, Sept. l7-.Protest
against the assessment of the United
States income and excess profits tax
upon American citizens and business
firms residing and operating abroad is
voiced in a resolution adopted bv the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States in Argentina and sent to the
government at Washington. Amend
ment to the law is asked on the ground
that it is proving an obstacle To the
development and extension of United
States foreign commerce.
Collection of the tax not only in
creases the heavy expenses Of Ameri-
cans residing abroad but constitutes a
serious handicap TO them in trade com
petition, the resolution states, since no
such tax is collected from the nationals
of other countries. It is further point
ed out that American citizens and busi-
ness houses must pay heavy taxes lev
led by the country in which they are
located and are thus taxed twice with
out representation either i'm the gov
ernment of that country or their own.
Already the assessment Of the OK.
cess profits and income tax has caused
many American interests operating
abroad TO change their identity by or
ganizing As concerns Of the countries
where they conduct business. II is as
serted. "thus causing a serious loss To
the prestige Of American commerce in
foreign markets" II is contended that
when the relative high cost, Of living
and other disadvantages incurred hy
foreign residence are considered. in
comes abroad that appear laree.are not
really so in comparison with those paid
in the United States. and the collection
of the tax upon them tends to make
FOREIGN residence and business opera
tion financially disadvantageous.

MAY BE NJ. S STONE
FOR SCHOOL HEAD
That Was the Rumor at State House
To-day While State School Com
mission Was Meeting in
Burlington.

The Vermont state board of eduea
tlon is holding meeting in Burlington
today and the inquiry that was pre-
| vailing about the State House in Mont
! pelier this morning was whether Ma
SON 5. Stone would be named as com
missioner to fill the vacancy. II j,
known that some of the commission
have been approached by persons who
are interested in the education sys
tenn as it now exists and who feel that
Mr. Stone is the only person who car
| handle the rudder over the troublesomC
waves that it is expected viii appear
in the coming session of the legisla
ture. In the last few days have come
to the State House reports that an
effort to change the system will occur
in the coming session, possibly to the
point of doing away with the com.
mission.
No Shortage of Teachers in Vermont.
The institution of the teachers reg
istering bureau at Burlington last
April by M. b. Hillegas, then commits
sioner of education, has proved wise
move for Vermont for the state is not
suffering the shortage of teachers That
appears to be existing in other states.
Thus far only 8 permits have been is-
sued to young women to teach school
this year, while the number at the
same time last year was a great deal
higher. probably total Gof l50.
In addition to this the commission
ruled that no permits would be issued
this year to graduates If high schools
or academies in the classfof 1920. 1t
had been done before, but the plan of
the commission is to put out permits
to persons who have finished school
without taking any training to be a
teacher.
Inquiry at the commissioners Office
Friday developed the fact that but few
requests for teachers are being made
of the commission; therefore, the
schools in the rural sections must be
well supplied with teachers and if
there are any which are not then the
bureau of registration is probably able
to take care of the matter. There are
some places where a change has been
made and the children are being trans
ported to a centralized school, but this
occurs only where it is believed that
for the best interests of all concerned
transportation should take place.
Early last summer representatives
of the commission visited the colleges
in this section and selected the best
material for teachers, signing contracts
with them upon behalf of the state
Therefore, they have been placed as
fast as the demand has occurred.

MUST AVOID
"MEDDLING' e.
Declares Harding, In Re-
lation to Affairs Of
Other Nations
CLASSES SHOULD
NEVER BE ALLOWED
Country Should Never Feel
Menace of Hyphenated
Americanism

Marion, o., Sept. Is. - Warning
against the dangers of hyphenated
citizenship. SEN Harding told dele.
cation of foreign. born Americans here
to day that he believed the United
States must avoid "meddling" in the
affairs of other nations, if all classes
of American citizens are to BE- united
in loyalty to the government.
He declared he did not blame ;she
foreign born for conflicting sympathies
during the World war, and asserted
that the fault belonged TO the nation
itself. The task of thoroughly Ameri-
canizing those of foreign extraction,
he said, had been neglected and must
now be taken up with new determine
tion,
"Let us all pray that America shall
never become divided into classes and
shall never feel the menace of hyphe-
mated citizenship he said.
"We are unaltersbly against any
present or future hyphenated Ameri-
canism. We have put an end to pre-
fixes. The way to unite and blend for
eign blood in life stream of America
is TO put an end to groups; an end
to classes; an end to special appeal
to any of them: an end TO particular
favor for any of them.
II want America on guard against
that course, which naturally tends to
array Americans against each other.
/ do not know whether or not Wash
ington foresaw this menace when he
warned us against entangling alliances
and medding abroad, but | see it and
| say TO you that all America must
stand firm against this dangerous and
destructive and un-American policy
