SENATOR STERLING WOULD
REDUCE POSTAGE RATES

Believing that the primary func-
tionof the postoffice is to furnish
first class service to letter mail
without profit, Senator Sterling
Of South Dakota, Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, has introduced a
bill to reduce the rate or drop let
fc's. This bill if enacted INTO low
will fix a rate of | cent per ounce
on all letters intended for delivery
within the delivery jurisdiction of
any post office where mailed
This will include not only city car
rier service but rural routes and
star routes as we'll. Senator Ster-
ling has found that the profit to
the government in handling local
letters is tremendous at the ex-
isting rates of 2 cents. History
shows that every reduction in let
ter postage has not only served
to greatly increase the use of the
service but to increase the re-
venue. This was true when the
general rate on letters was reduced
from 3 to 2 cents in the early
eighties. More recently when the
war tax was removed and the old
z cent rate was restored the re-
venue exceeded those collected at
the 3 cent rate by more than II per
cent during the first three months.

The state executive lauded the

his opinion for long time to

oppose the big three. the Standard

The old gentleman was getting
senllc and also tempered with an

brethren Of the lodge Of which he
had been a member since his

for him. Recently however Mr..
Reinke became deserving Of better
care than could be given him To-
caily. Odd Fellows appealed to

WELL-DRILLER
MAKES GOOD

In the congressional directory
Senator Peter Norbeck describes
his occupation modestly and truth
fully as that of a "well-driller.'
Modesty has been the character
jstic Of the Junior Scnato'. ne =,
- h Dakota since his arriva IN
,nshine ton. He managed TO gel
appointed member of the Com
mittee on Agriculture of the Sen
ate, possibly by reason of the fact
that agriculture is the chief indus
try of his state. At the present
time he has bill which bears his
name well on its way through con-
gress. which provides for financial
assistance from the Government
in bringing about diversified farm
ing in the wheat growing states.
and for other purposes.
TO the surprise, probably, of a
rood many people President Cool
idge in special message to Con-
gress few DAYS ago made Sena-
tor NOrbeck's bill the basis of his
rellef measures recommended for
the Northwest. This insures the
early passage of the bill. which
carries an appropriation of fifty
million dollars to be administered
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The effect of this enabling the
wheat. farmers to turn to more d.
versified farming by government
assistance is not to be estimated
now: It's passage places Senator
Norbcck at once in the front rank

GROUNDS FOR CONFIDENCE

The action of President Coolidge
and the War Finance corporation
in bringing federal credit to the
aid of the banks of the northwest
should and does carry confidence
to the people or this section that
the financial foundations of their
industry will not be allowed to
crumble but will be essentially
provided for until the present
crisis is safely past.
According to present day re-
sources the northwest is emphatl-
cally able to take care of itself;
as much so. fully, as other sections
of the country. But the condi-
tions of it's business life have made
it peculiarly the victim of the past
few years of excess investment.
1t is supported almost entirely by
farm and stock interests, with
few large industrial enterprises
to offset the losses which have fall
Ell so heavily on these lines of pro-
duction everywhere. And at the
same time it is engaged in what is
vital to the nations life and inter
est. 1t is entitled to government
backing for the brief time that
will be necessary and there is no
reproach in the fact that it is
necessary.
With this support given, there
is no reason for further apprehen-
sion in this state Our crops have
been unexcelled; our future is
bright. our resources are not
mythical or watered values they
exist in the actual producing pow
er of our land and the opportun
ity for development which make
this state, and. particularly the
western half of it, the most prom
ising agricultural opportunity in
the United States today. We have
everything to reassure us and
nothing to fear for the future
except the consequence of our own
fear!
This western count WIS CON
quered by courage and Optirni- ~.
It must and will be adyalcee by
the same traits of s. ling citi-
zenship. Hot Springs Star.
