THlS letter tax leaves open only
one taX-free means of communica-
ton.
We have a tax on telephone con-
versations, a tax on kilograms and
are about to have a tax on letters.
but we have as yet no tax on the
verbose political communications of
congressman to their constituents.
The franked envelope, which car
RES no stamp, will evade payment of
the new letter tax.
Yet the tons upon tons Of free mail
sent out from Washington is no small
contributor to building up a posta
deficit.
If the new letter tax were made to
apply to congressional mailings, it
would help the government financial
ly in two ways.
1t would bring in revenue directly
from all necessary congressional cor
respondence.
And 1t would cut to one-half or one
quarter the volume of political bun
combe that now cutters up the gov
eminent printing offices and the mails
out of Washington.
That would be tax that would
benefit US all!

EDITO RIAL d.

DRESIDENT Harding has iudjcat-
ed favor for an increase in first
class letter postage as a means Of in
creasing government revenue. Net
income from the higher rate would be
turned into the United States treas
ury for general purposes.
Congress, searching wildly for
sources from which revenue may be
wrung. thinks favorably of the idea
also.
So we may set it down as reason
ably certain that the increase will
be made. 1t will raise between $780,
100000 and $8O,OO0,OOO a year and
without costs of collection. You'll
simply pay the postmaster three cents
for a postage stamp instead of two
cents; or two cents for a postcard in
stead of one. Very simple.

THERE will be loud protests. pre-

THERE Will be loud protests, prob
ably, from mail order houses and
other businesses which conduct their
advertising campaigns largely by cir
cularizing.
The average letter-writing citizen,
too, will growl some. Here, to him,
will be visible evidence that the cost
of government service has gone up,
not down. For on its fare there is no
separation of the amount that goes
to defray the cost of carrying his let
ter and the amount that goes to the
treasury as a war tax.
Up in Canada they do it differently.
They have one-cent war tax on let
tiers there. But it is a separate and
distinct stamp. 1t is labeled as tax
stamp and must be licked and placed
alongside the postage stamp on each
envelope. 1t is not camoufaged or
concealed as an increase in post
age.

The symptoms by which the
Flag smut can be detected are,
I'd black stripes running length
wise in the leaf blades and
sheaths. The stems are also
more or less infected. Infected
plants are usually more or less
dwarfed, and they rarely head
out or produce seed. Flag smut
attacks the leaves and, therefore,
is easily distinguished from the
other wheat smuts which attack
the head. Farmers are urged to
