AN WORCESTERSHIRE TAX.

Business is businessmen government,
business. It is not good business to bite the
hand that feed you. Even government business
can't thrive that way
The United States postoffice department
is big business, the biggest business in the
world. It has $4,000 employees on its payroll
and an annual turnover Of more than $4,000. oOO.-
600. A part of this business consists in trans
porting publications.
Because this second-class mail business was
so large it appeared to the makers of war taxes
a prolific source for revenues. For successive
increases of postal rates on seeond-class matter
were made. boosting the cost of Transporting
papers in some cases as much as 900 per cent
Such discrimination is driving the papers from
the mail
When this happens it is discovered that
the newspapers are as important to the post
office as the postoffce is to the newspapers. No
newspapers always assist the government in its
efforts to extend the usefulness of the postal
service. The newspapers always can be de-
pended upon to stand by any worthy govern
mental enterprise
But the principal importance of the news
papers to the prosperity of the postal business
IS their influence upon the circulation of first
class mail. Letters pay more. bulk less and are
easily handled. government investigating
body sized up the relation between first and
second class mails with reference to postal
revenues. The Penrose-Overstreet Commission
in its report said. Second-class matter is itself
the cause of a great volume of first-class mat
ter, upon which the department reaps a hand
some profit. ;"
The American Publishers Conference asks
that the war tax be lessened. The purpose is not
to escape fair share of taxation. The pub
fishers ask modification of the tax retaining
in effect an increase of IT'S per cent over the
pre-war rate. In the interest of securing the
greatest volume of revenue for the postal serv-
ice it is oontended that this change of tax meth
DDS will pay. And there is no doubt it will.

Why He Joins the Socialists

Speaking about the trip r. ID. Evans
and I made into Dellona brings up
some sad recollections. This was my
second appearance that memorable
fall. My maiden effort was a few days
previous with Phil Cheek at LaValle;
my third was week afterward with
James Bonham at Terry Town.
Our manager, the genial Col. Welch
Is gone; jolly Phil Cheek is gone; bri
liant Dick Evans is gone; and our
worthy opponent at the third meeting
honest James Brennan is gone. James
Bonham and myself are still travelling
in this vale of shade and sunshine
living proofs of the truth of the old
adage that 'the good die young"
After all the good work Jim and !

into power they never offered us the

Gives California Black Eyes

Please tell Mr.. Crandall | cannot
recall giving the teacher in Dellona
any candy. In those days | never
gave my teachers anything but
trouble. In later years, however,
acted differently. During the twelve
years / was in Baraboo High school
used to give them a pleasant look
once in a while.
And please say TO Mike Maher aad
Charles Stadler that I'm not coming
to California, even to look around.
Too many of my neighbors went there
and came back poorer but wiser men.
The bones Of some were left bleaching
on the desert sands to mark the trail.
After the Civil war. many of the boys
who had been in the army went to
California to pick up gold nuggets.
remember helping Hat Case and
Marve Russell to pack their prairie
schooner, but when they returned
there was darned little to unpack. Hat
told me not long ago he made more
gold out of his little hop yard and
old Esau's efforts than he ever saw
west of the Rocky mountains.
But the climate!" yes, when it
rains you'd best be web-footed if you
want to get around; when the wind
blows a dogskin overcoat won't keep
the fog from chilling the marrow in
your bones.
"But look at what California pro-
duces!" Yes, oranges and earthquak-
es! And what does an orange grove
bring the owner? | can buy choice
sweet navels in any store in Milwau-
kee for Csc dozen. When the rail-
road and express companies, the
wholesalers and retailers, all get a
crack at them, what is left for the
grower? Not as much, I'll venture to
say. as Chas. Stadler made when he
was hauling potatoes off the Bara-
boo bluffs and selling them to H. M.
Johnston for nineteen cents bushel
Mike, my boy, look at the history
of your state. When our country was
in the throes of one of the bloodiest
wars the world has ever known, Cali
fornia didn't furnish as many men as
the little state of Rhode Island. Our
government don't care a button for
you-wouldn't raise a hand or voice in
protest if you wanted to secede. Un-
less Japan or Mexico sees fit to an
mex you / don't know what will be-
come of you. Perhaps you'll lie in a
state of nonentity, as you have in the
past, until a sure enough earthquake
comes along and swallows you up
boots and bride.

An Indian Story

As freight train went slowly over
the road, it carried Indians in the
caboose as passengers. The Indians
had their tickets. They had paid
fare. Two of the red men were much
younger than their campanion, who
was much displeased with their ac-
tions, for they had a bottle of alco-
hol, and they diluted it with water
from the barrel of water in the ca
boose, which was kept for scrubbing
and other cleaning purposes. 1t had
a greenish cast, as it stood for some
time in the barrel. The Indians had
stout stomachs and didn't mind it
as long as they got their drink. FL
nally the two wanted to get out and
go up on top Of the car, which one
of the brakemen wouldn't allow, q.

when he, as a lad. had in COM
pany with the old Indian. The Indian
was very fond of the boy, and had
him on many a fishing trip, but al
ways compelled him to lie down in
the hewn out log canoe, for fear the
boy might tip the canoe over. Some
years after the boy, grow to man
hood, thought to surprise his old
friend by a visit. So he went to the
place where the wigwam was staked
and lifting the flap walked in. The
Indian knew him, shook hands and
seemed quite pleased. If he was pleas
ed, the young man was more than
astonished, for his old friend had
