FORLOWER RATES
ON MAIL MATTER
Bill introduced at Wash
ington to Relieve News
papers and Magazines
NOW TAXED 325 p. G.
OVER PRE-WAR COSTS

WASHINGTON. June 13.-Reduc-
ton Of second-class postage rates,
which were originally imposed as
war taxes, is provided for in a bill
introduced in the House this week
by Representative NJ Clyde Kelly.
Republican. of Pennsylvania. The
bill in intented to give relief TO the
newspapers and magazines which
have made representations to Con-
gress that the continuation of high
postal rates seriously affected the
entire publishing industry.
The Kelly bill would repeal the
last two of the four increases in pos
tai rates which were made under the
war revenue law of 1917. In a
statement issued today, Representa-
tive Kelly pointed out that news
paper and magazine publishers Of
the country are in need Of relief
from this discriminatory war tax In
order that the press may continue
10 serve the public. He stated that
the proposed measure retains the
present zone system Of postal
charges. but reduces the amount of
charge from the fourth advance,
effective July /. 1921. to the second
advance In rates which became ef-
fective July I, 1919.
According TO Mr.. Kelly, the rates
asked for would still give the Cow
eminent ITS per cent. more than
the pre-war rates and would not re-
leve the publishing industry OF one
cent OF the other Federal taxes paid
by IL in common with other indus
tries.
The present postage rates on
newspapers and publications were
fixed in the war revenue law passed
in 1917. and are 325 per cent. high
or than the pre-war rates" said
Representative Kelly. Every one OF
the items carried IN that measure,
with the exception OF the tax on
second-class mail matter. has been
modified or repealed. These war
time postage increases have driven
millions Of pounds OF second-class
matter from the mall Into private
channels of distribution. There is
something radically wrong when
private companies can make hand
some profit ar rates less than those
charged in postage. I believe there
IS no good reason why the publish
ers Of newspapers and magazines
should be singled out to pay this
extra war tax"
THE newspapers and other per-
iodicals." continued Mr. Kelly, ARE
the very fountain source Of first
class and fourth-class mail. They
also perform an invaluable service
IN freely carrying messages Of the
postofice and other departments OF
the government direct 10 the people.
They are really selling agents for
the Government, but they get no
commissions on their sales. Il Is a
common-sense policy to give them
advantageous rates in the mail.
The fact that these high rates
are charged on the advertising pages
does not lessen the injustice. Adver-
Using IS not merchandise, but infor-
nation. The newspapers are infor-
nation highways just as essential TO
the business prosperity of this coun-
try as the highways and waterways.

CLEANUP SHOULD BE ANNUAL
Public Health as Well as Civic Neat
ness Is Promoted by Such
an institution.

An annual week for clearing away
accumulated rubbish and trash of ma
terial origin should be permanent
and. the customary adjurations to the
populace issued by the health de-
Dartment, and the fire department, the
two branches Of administrative ac-
tivity which are particularly concerned
with civic neatness,
r The fire department has perhaps an
easier task in educating the people in
this regard than has the health de-
partment, for it is comparatively easy
to. instruct even the dullest citizen as
70 Che fire hazard created by accumula-
lions of inhammable rubbish. Every
one knows how easily fires originate
In trash heaps and the reminder from
. the fire department Is. sufficient to
start the cleaningup process.
Not so many people realize the. dan
ger to health which arises from per-
hitting waste material to accumulate
and gather dirt. The hazard is fully
as great as the fire hazard. -.

BACK TO "OLD HOME TOWN.
Io the Returning Man of Affairs, How
Many Tender Memories Cluster
.r About 1t!

For number of years fall home
comings have been popular in many
counties and smaller cities over the
country. They are for the most part
family reunions, given wider inter-
est because they attract to the home
town or county many friends of yore
who might otherwise never meet
again Social occasions are arranged,
there are public. addresses, special
church services historical reminis-
cenceS and various forms Of enter
tainment for the guests from other To-
caiities, who left their old home, farms
and towns, to meet let us hope, a
larger and more enduring, success
abroad than they could have done at
the old home. O.
The old town looks small, no doubt
to those who went to the city for their
life work; the old farm cramped, to
those who now inhalts the wide
reaches of the West But to all the
home-comers there are dear places,
+ hallDwed by tender memories, to visit
r7thel brook, the ancient sycamore, the
+, beloved hills in the. country PLACES ;
and IN the small TOWNS the Old home
with Its multitude of "reminiscences
Homes pass away4into other hands.
There is no continuance on earth
. Charge never, 'ceaseS its work. Trees
die, familiar prospects are married
Only the skies are ,unqhqpgeable. SO
there is a touch Of melancholy for all
b home7comers except the, young, be-
cause of the ravages Of, death among
relatives and friends Yet where the
old homes are peOpled by strangers
! and their contents distributed among
thee children there is one great con-
ISOLATION. 1t IS not the place; or the
= house that,iSr sacred. That is the mere
shell set. up to protect the, family from
the weather. The things that were in
!. the house are the objects THAT the
heart is'rea1ly interested ln---the. chair
: that gave comfort to mother; the desk
that was fathers, the hooks the gentle
and lost sister loved; the intimate
possessions of the brother called West;
these, things. touched by vanished
hands are. the true treasures Of the
Old home, not the building which
sheltered them '.
Altogether it. is well TO get back to
the Old home town or the old home
farm 1t isram experience in life which
. does not fade. 1t stjrs something
in our souls that too seldom finds eY-
preston, and it gives play to a really
admirable Curiosity to learn of the
lives Of associates informer years. The
city man. particularly, loses something
worth while when. he turns a deaf ear
to the invitation. Of his home town to
come back and be a boy again for a
few days.-UtiCa Globe.

Small Town Best.

We rarely hear of a person going
hungry or without occupation in a
country town. Sleep, which is the
great restorer of vigor, is profound and
undisturbed during the hours of dark
ness In the small town, whereas the
thunder of traffic and the eternal move
ments of fellow dodgers in crowded
city districts make night hideous and
sleep a nightmare.
From a physical and spiritual stand
point humanity in the small town is
exempt from many of the misery pro-
ducing elements of the large city.
