WOULD KILL PARCEL POST

Quite naturally, the big express
companies have been greatly dlscon-
certed by the growth and progress OF
the parcel post system.
1t is not hard to see in the bill re-
Gently introduced by Mr.. Steenerson,
of Minnesota, and favorably reported
to the house, blow at this great in
stitution. This bill authorizes the
postmaster general to restrict the use
of the special delivery stamp and
service to letter mail only. This
means that no package could be sent
through the mail with special dellv-
ery service added, although the most
important function of the special de-
livery stamp is to secure the prompt
delivery of perishable merchandise
from producer to consumer.
This innocent looking little four
line bill appears as an entering wedge
of an effort to break down the parcel
post system, which was built up at
much labor and expense after twenty
years of successful lobbying by the
express companies to prevent it
adoption.

MUNICIPAL PLANT is PAYING

State Examiner Breese has made
an interesting report on the municipal
light plant in Hamilton. According
to his figures the city-owend institu-
ton turned in a profit of $4,000 in
1920. This profit is represented by
S22 1000 in cash and $4,000 in current
which was given away to city in
stitutions.
Opponents of municipality owned
utilities are not saying word about
Hamilton's experience. However, the
report would indicate that for some
reasons unknown the politicians in
Hamilton are not using the municipal
light plant as dumping ground for
"good party workers" who can't be
placed anywhere else. Unfortunately,
that has been the case in many cities.

LABOR NOTES

The greatest demonstration In the
city's history occurred at Warsaw, Po-
land, when more than 10000 men and
women workers paraded in protest
against the proposal of George Michal-
ski, Polish minister of finance, to
amend the eight-hOur day to permit
two hours of voluntary work overtime.
The Des Moines Ia.) street car
mems union announced that they had
made a voluntary cut Of seven cents
an hour in their wages in order to
get service restored and to assist in
bringing about a lower fare. The re-
duction is from SO cents an hour to 50
cents, and means a saving to the COM
pany of $125,OO0 a year.
new wage and working agreements
between the International ShOremen S
association and steamship lines In
deep sea trade at the port OF New
York and vicinity have been signed
President Ryan Of the Longshore-
mems association announced. The
shipping board was third party to
the agreement. TIE new scale, e1fec-
tive October l last, is 50 cents an
hour, with 81 al hour overtime for
4S-hour week. replacing the old scale
of so cents and $1.20 for 44-hour
week.
Federal Judge j. d. Hutcheson
Houston, Texas, ruled that the 800
members of the Brotherhood OF Rail
road Trainmen of the international
and Great Northern railroad who have
been on strike since October p should
be taken back into the employment OF
the road.
Virtually the entire waterfront OF
Galveston, Texas, was tied up as the
result of failure Of cotton screWmen,
deep sea longshoremen and master
stevedores to reach an agreement on
wages and working conditions. Coast
else boats were not affected.

STILL THEY CUT WAGES

It's going to be a merry Christmas
for stockholders of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroad, whose
directors have declared semi-annual
dividend of 5 per cent and a special
cash dividend of Is per cent. This
makes the years dividend 25 per cent.
The Burlington is estimated to
have a surplus fund of $160,OO0,OOO
from which the special dividend will
be drawn.
Stock of the Burlington owned by
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern will share in this melon-cutting
to the extent of 81 per cent of the
total, or enough to pay a 7 per cent
dividend on the stock of the old Hill
lines

THE SALES TAX BOBS UP AGAIN

This is a good time to urge your
Senators and Congressman to vote
against the "sales tax" which will be
brought forward again during this
session of Congress.
Powerful interests are financing the
propaganda in support of this vicious
tax. They will not be satisfied until
they substitute it for the income tax,
which is hitting their pocketbooks
very hard.
Just now they are telling the people
that Canada has adopted the sales
tax and that every one is enthusiastic
about it.
Canada has a sales tax and it has
resulted in transferring a large part
of the burdens of government from
the rich to the moderately well-to-do.
In this country a man with wife
and three children and an income of
$1,000 year would be subjected to
no Federal tax, except what he paid
through the tariff and the taxes on
cigars and tobacco.
A man in Canada, similarly situ
ated, would pay an incoem tax of $4
and "sales tax" of $31.10, or total
of $3.50.
That tells the story. The income
tax compels men to contribute ac-
cording to their ability to pay.
The sales tax ignores ability to pay
and levies toll on everything men eat
and use and wear.
Up to date Congress has defeated
this cruel and unjust tax but it's sup
porters are returning to attack. This
time they say they want sales tax
so the government may pay the ex-
service men a bonus.
We want to see the soldiers get
their bonus but we insist that the
money should come out of the bulging
pockets of the profiteers who were
robbing the citizens and the govern
ment while our boys were dying in
| Flanders.
Write your Senators and Congress-
man today.-Labor.

In fighting the boil weevil i. Is
our opinion that the best method of
procedure would be as follows: First
pick up all punctured squares at
least cnce a week and destroy them
by burning. To accomplish this and
more completely attach a sack or
brush to the end Of the sigletree used
in the cultiva ton Of the land. This
will knock off many squares which
otherwise might not fall off so
promptly. Picking up and destroying
the squares is a very effective means
of fighting this pest Where the
plants are large and the weather is
damp and showers are occurring
from time to time about the only
effective method Of fighting the Wee
vii, in addition to the above, is
through poisoning. The most eco
nomic and effective method of ac-
complishing this end is by busting
with calcium arsenate. Special ma
chinery is made for this purpose. The
work may be done by hand or power.
