Here is another bit of statistics
for postmaster general to con-
template While he considers the
myriad postoffice buildings of the
south: The population of the
thirteen western states is 10.1S1.-
600. and their total gross postal re-
ceipts last year were $4o.500. 600
New York states population is TO-
$4,000. and. its gross postal re-
ceipts last year were 5000.
There are ffty-three postoffices in
federal buildings in New York

western states Does that prove
that there are too many federal
buildings in the western states?

St. Paul. Feb. 2s.-Final arguments
are being made today in the yaluar
ton proceedings on which the rate Of
fare for street car service in Duluth
will be determined by the Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission.
Oscar Mitchell made theNarguments
for the Duluth Street Railway COM

fare should be based on the present
value and not on the cost Of invest
ment. He conceded that it would be
unfair to fix the valuation on the
basis Of 1921 prices. and favored fix
ing the valuation On a ten-year aver
age; rather than on the 1915. 1921, or
investment basis.

Text of Addreea

-HN
The text Of President Harding's ad-
dreAs to congress today on govern
ment aid for the American merchant
marine was In part:
when addressing congress last De-
cember, | reported to you the failure
OF the executive to carry out the In
tent Of certain features of the mer-
provision for the notice Of cancellation
of all commercial ~treatieaS which
htndered our grant of discriminating
duties on imports brought to our
shores in American ships. There wal
no doubt about the high purpose OF
congress to apply this proven practice
to the u~rbuilding OF sur merchant
marine. 1t had proven most effective
In the earlier days OF American ship
ping; it had, at various times, dem
onstrated its effectiveness In the up
building of commercial shipping for
other nations.
The success of the earlier prac-
tice for this republic came at a time
when we had few treaties; when our
commerce was little developed.
Its s~upercedure by reciprocity in
shipping regulations and adoption of
ether methods of upbuilding merchant
marines through various forms of
government aid, and the century OF
1sCSOIl0lO1 VI SOItIAAtO4 SANA bES0SApHs Gal
combined to developia situation which
should lead to endless embarrassment
if we denounced our treaties. We
should not only be quite alone in
supporting q policy long since super
coded through the growing intimacy
Of international relationships, but we
should invite the disturbance OF those
cordial commercial relations which
are the first regulate to expanston OF
our commerce abroad.
Would Avoid Embarrassment.
Contemplating the readiness OF
congress to grant a decreased duty on
imports brought to Y shores in
embarrassments incident to read1ust-
ment of all treaty arrangements, It
seemed desirable to find a, way of APP
plying suitable aid to our shipping,
which the congress clearly intended,
and at the same time avoid the em-
barrassment Of our trade relationship
abroad.
The recommendation of today lis
based wholly on this commendable
intent Of congress. The proposed aid
Of the government to its merchant
marine IL to have its chief source In
the duties collected on imports. In
stead of applying the discriminating
duty to the specific cargo and thus
encouraging only the inbound ship
ment, ! propose that we shall collect
all import duties, without discrimina-
ton as between American and foreign
bottoms, and apply The heretofore
proposed reduction to create a fund
for the governments aid to our mer-
chant marine. BY such a program we
shall encourage not alone the carry
ing of inbound cargoes subject to our
tariffs, but we shall strengthen
American ships in the carrying OF
that greater inbound tonnage on
which no duties are levied and. more
important than, these. we shall equip
our merchant marine to serve out
bound COMMERCE, which is the meas
ure Of our eminence' in foreign
trade.

NATIONAL APPLE
WEEK is NEAR

The International Apple Shippers
Association has launched a campaign
for the observance of National Apple
Week which will begin Hallow 'en and
end November z. Special local chair
men or committees have been appointed
for practically every distributing and
originating market. Chairmen of com
mittees are to create such further or
ganizations as may be necessary, raise
their own funds from any sources
available and adopt such plans as they
desire.
The association offers four silver
trophies for the best observances, one
to cities of 100, 900 to 500, 900, another
to cities of 100, 900 to 300, 900, the third
to cities of 100000, and the fourth to
cities of a population under 100, 600.
Final reports of all celebrations should
be filed with the secretary of the asso-
citation. These reports will be passed
upon by a board of judges to be ap-
pointed by the president and the
awards made.
The association is following the
plans of 1920 which excelled all pre-
vious observances and which were one
of the greatest single factors in the
consumption of the largest commercial
crop then recorded. Each locality is
left to develop the type of observance
suited to it.
