ual communication between people
thru the medium of the mails.
An increase in the first-class
postal rates, let it wisely decide
that it is high time for the gov
eminent to stop the congressman
and senators from mailing free
political propaganda from their
offices to their constituents just
before election. There is no rea-
son on earth why these politicians
should have the free use of the
United States mails. Why should
the government hire men to handle
stuff? Then again, is there any
reason why every department of
the federal government should not
bear its own postage? 1t bears
its other necessary expenses. Why
not pay its postage? If the Amer
lean people will wake up, there'll
be no 2 11a-cent rate for letters and
neither will there be any deficit in
the post office department.

BUSINESS LOOKING UP

Nhe September bulletin of the
National Association of Credit
Men finds that the business out
look, if not exactly roseate, is at
least brighter than some of us
have been led to suppose.
IF business had glass chin it
would have been down and out be-
fore this" remarked the bulletin.
sour moral is not weakened. On
the contrary, it has been strength
ened by sober thinking, looking
facts in the face, putting our house
in order, eliminating wasteful ex-
penditures and planning carefully
for the future. For some months
we have been under discipline. Be-
fore long we should begin to ben
eft by it."
just to prove that this is not
empty optimism, the bulletin
points out that collections for Aug
ust-even in the corn belt, hit by
the drought are better than they
were for the month preceding.
This improvement, rightly enough,
is decidedly encouraging"

CLEAN UPl

TUE finest evidence of good cit
izenship is a clean body, clean
house, and clean shop.
Clean up!
Waste baskets should be made
larger and storerooms smaller.
Half the attics and Easements
in the United States are filled with
junk.
The drawers and pigeonholes of
most desks are crammed with
junk.
The workrooms, storerooms, and
yards of the average factory con-
tain enough junk to sink an ocean
liner. It occupies floor space that
costs about so cents square foot
year to maintain. 1t slows up
production; gives the shop an ap-
pearance of disorder; lowers the
quality of the product.
ut might come in handy" Yes,
but In the meantime it will eat
you up in charges for rent and
handling.
The employer who operates a
clean, orderly shop is doing a pub
lie service because he is teaching
his men by example the lesson of
cleanliness. ,s;.s

big type on front pages and thru

have become suspicious Of mail or

several past experiences, we check

raise from one cent to dollar or
more on last years prices on small
articles and goods and lower the
prices on the larger items. The
sales on the smaller items are
greater and their increases while
they lower their prices on goods
which move slower. Well, that's

Yes, the buyer gets what he pays

BOOSTING LETTER POSTAGE
POSTMASTER GEN. BROWN

is hardly playing with a popu-
lar issue in his advocacy Of Pr
cent rate for letters. No public
support has asserted itself, and If
congress has its ears to the ground
it will make short shift of the pro-
posal.
If the public's sole choice lies
between an $85, 600, 900 annual post
office department deficit or 2k-
cent first class postage, there
would be an overwhelming choice
of the deficit. For half a century
it has been the will of the nation
that the postal rate for personal
correspondence shall be low enough
to encourage universal and habit

REGISTER

This year, under the provisions of
the new election code adopted by the
last legislature, it is required of any
one desiring to vote at November
election and subsequent elections,
that they must register. 1t makes
no difference if one is already regis
tered, that registration no longer
counts, and one must register over
again if they want to vote at future
elections. This requirement comes
under the permanent registration
system now in effect. Permanent
registration means that when once
registered one will never have to
register again unless he or she re
moves from the place in which they
reside at time of registration or
fails to vote during two subsequent
years, when registration is required.
So it is important and necessary,
too, that every one of voting age, or
who will reach that stage by Novem-
Der A, that they register this fall.
There will be three days for regis
tration Thursday, October ., and
Friday and Saturday, October 10-11.
All precinct polling places will be
open these three days for registration
between the hours of l p. m. and 9
p. m. So be sure to register if you
want to vote in November and at
future elections. 1t is urged, too.
that as many as can, register the
first day, as under the new system
it requires a little more time to get
on the books than it did under the
old system, and that means that
there is likely to be long lines of vot-
ers waiting to get in the various
booths on the last days.
Whatever you do, register. Don't
forget the new hours, p. m. to 9

But along comes modern industry
at this half century mark and de-
mands orderly, steady operation with
men that stick
Very well, that being so, fairness
must enter the equation.
Fighting through the half century
of development, the American trade
union movement has generated trade
brought out of reluctant employers
that fairness that makes it possible
to "stick on the job"
But always in the background that
mobility turks as something that un-
fairness has to reckon with. 81 can
go somewhere else"
1t would be interesting to call the
roll of unions that have lived through
that half century at the conclusion of
which we now stand.
1t would be more interesting to be
able to see so years down the path 0:
the future. We can do the one, bu:
not the other.
Except we do know that if modern
industry is to reach its full develop
ment it must lean ever more heavily
upon trade unionism, that agency
through which masses of men and
women speak and contribute of their
wisdom to the proper working of our
miracle machinery.
The world can no longer move with
