The p. M. G. in letter to Senator
Fernald Ito whom I had written in
regard to the matter) gave as his
reason for this fool order, that some

poor carrier on his next trip stopped
at the box and found it empty!
OF course, wen all agree that was
q most terrible thing, for it must
have taken him nearly all of half a

balm for his lacerated feelings.

Editor Journal:
In your editorial in this mornings
paper regarding rural mail service,
YOU might have mentioned another
instance of how little the p. D. De-
partment cares about those living on
rural routes. .-.s =
Up to few months ago the rural
carrier always put up the signal,
when he left mail in the box; or IL
the patron had deposited mail for
collection, he erected the signal;
then the carrier, IL he had no mail for
that box would. on taking out what
was in it,, put the signal down.
Thus rural patrons knew whether
there was mail without going to the
box, but that made it altogether too
easy for the poor hicks, so the Nigh
ty Post Master General issued an
order that the carrier. PUT THE
SIGNAL DOWN, whether he left
mail or not; now, someone must 60 to
to the box to see il there is anything.
In view of the fact that many
very many-houses are. from ten to
nifty rods from the road, 1t is easy to
see there is little fun in tramping

THE WEST AND THE TAXES

1t isn't always safe to leave it to
the other fellow. Out in the golden"
West they have the habit of giving
free advice. especially about what
they themselves happen to want. 1t
is noticeably SO about the taxes,
expenditures. lower freight rates
and the like. Ii they happen to grow
too much wheat they want the Gov
eminent to help them out at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers. Their de-
mand for Federal money is mex
haustible, their contribution to
Federal funds comparatively small.
Income tax statistics show that in
the year 1921 Arizona, Colorado,
Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota,
Wisconsin Cob LaFoiiette's State),
Washington and Utah paid but S.25
per cent of the total personal in
come tax levied, while the states of
Illinois, Massachusetts, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania paid 52.73
per cent.

whose memories go back to the days
when eastern money poured in a
golden food into the West, some of
it. to be buried there, when the
eastern farmers were handicapped
by competition with the products of
a virgin soil stimulated by high
powered development, that the East
has not contributed its share to the
benefits Of the West.
The West was first to agitate for
the income tax which takes so little
from the West but augments the
Federal funds which the West seeks
in abundance. 1t is now complain
ing about taxes. 1t surely has no
license to complain about what it
pays to the Federal Government,
considering what 1t gets in the way
or returns from that source. If it is
to complain about taxes it would do
well to complain to itself. While
Nevada paid to the Federal Govern
ment a per capita income tax of
$4.25 it paid for State and local
taxes $500. Colorado paying SAIL
Federal income tax paid s52.Ss in
State and local taxes. and Senator
Lar ollettes State while contribut-
ing q Federal income tax of but
$3.41 paid State and local taxes of
$47.4S per capita. And those West
ern States are by no means the only
ones with high rate of home taxa
ton, IL is as common as it is becom-
ing a chronic ailment.
When complaining about taxes
first set your own house in order,
would seem to be good advice. Taxes
are too high all around and will 60
higher just so long as we look to
governmental aid for doing that
which otherwise we might do for
ourselves and do more cheapiy.

A Roosevelt on the Khan

AoOSIOA
From the pulpit OF Old South Meet
ing House. a cradle of Straight
Americanism. Mrs. Douglas Robin
son, a sister of the Great American,
before an audience that filed the his
toric hall TO overf1owing, made Sun
day memorable in its history by the
fearlessness and logic and fine con-
Tempt for political expediencysNwith
which she condemned the Ku Klux
Khan as an organization and the in
dtviduals who as members, sup
porters or symathizers soil their
honor as citizens and their souls as
Gods children by side-stepping the
challenge presented by this cowardly
aggregation of race and religion
baiters. Well may her countrymen
share her longing that Roosevelt
were still in his earthly life,; fol-. they
must share her conviction that
We're he with his people in the flesh
today. he would be in the forefront

he has always said, that Uncle Sam
would not hide behind a mask and
that he would not brook the Cross,

1t Is q melancholy commentary.
however. upon the Republican party
In Massachusetts, which glories in
the name and fame of Roosevelt, that
so many of its so-called leaders here
ana elsewhere stand in shiveriny
silence before the menace of tho
Khan.
Roosevelt did not finch from the
challenge of the "a. p. A." in his
cay, but called it by name and con
demned it in words that went home
with sting. Those who praise
Roosevelt today while fiinching be-
fore the challenge OF the Ku Klux
Khan mock his memory and increase
and give aid and comfort to the Khan.
