Reduced Local Postage.

On and after July 1 the postage rate
on drop letters, as local postage is
designated, will go into effect. The
rate after that date will be cents for
local letters. No change will be made
at this time in the rate of 8 cents for
outgoing mail
This will cut down the expense of
sending out local bills, etc. The larger
industrial centers will be benefited, the
three cent rate having caused many of
the utilities companies to distribute
their own monthly bills and statements
in protest against the cent rate.

"The average person looks
to the local newspaper to find
out where any desired article
can be bought. This same
average person looks to the
local newspaper to see what
local school boards, county
boards, and village boards are
doing. That is why the publ
cation of financial statements
in the newspapers are helpful
in keeping the taxpayer in

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

The Taxpayers League has
decided to bring suit against
the board of commissioners of
st. Louis County in an effort to
force the placing of all road
and bridge work under the ad-
ministration of the county en-
gineer. This court action will
bring the much discussed SUBJ
Ject to a head and will probably
settle the matter once and for
all.
As long as the League is in
the business of getting a legal
slant on county business, might
it not be a good idea to look
into the matter of seven COM
missioners for st. Louis County
while all other counties in the
state are legally limited to five
commissioners and five commits
sioner districts. The continual
chickering's between the north
and the south ends of the
county over the extra districts
in the south end, one of which
is entirely within the Duluth
city limits and another mostly
so, has gotten on the nerves of
the range residents and is one
cause for county division talk
on the ranges-coupled with
the political itch for county
office as the principal argu-
ment.
Get all this stuff before the
courts and let's have a cleanup
of all the mooted questions.
Let the actions of the county
clutter up the docket for a
time and get all the ailments
off our chests at one fell swoop.
Every session of the legislature
is surfeited with strictly St.
Louis County measures to such
an extent that bills of impor-
tance coming up are shunted
about and as one legislator
remarked to the writer, you
fellows up there think we are
here simply to wash up your
political linen to the exclusion
of the balance of the state"
If we can get matters straight
ened out in our own county we
will not need to antagonize the
legislature each session.
Let's get going with the
courts. The mining companies
will probably be up for the
non-payment of taxes after the
first of the year. In the mean
time let's get this county en-
gineer and the Duluth districts
matters cleared up so we will
know where we are at. More
power to the Taxpayers
League if its actions will bring
up a unity of purpose in the
county to live within the laws
made and not use county mat
tiers for personal, nationality,
sectarian, or political party
preferment.

William F. Kelly. president of
the Washington Park Community
Club and other members of that
organization are planning to inter-
view the different city officials with
a view to finding out IL 1t is the
intention to build a community
house in Washington Park out of
the funds now available from the
federal. government for use in the
public parks of the city,,
Talking on this matter, Mr. Kelly
stated that there is an abundance
of field stone in the park. more
than enough for a larger structure
than is needed and he believes this
an opportune time to do the work.
The park was crowded, he says,
during the summer, but now that
the severe weather has set in 1T is
deserted and all the young people
who would find enjoyment in a
community house there, are scat
tered all over the city, seeking
pleasures which they should have
near their homes.
what Mr. Kelly says, expresses
the general sentiment of all the
people in that part of Waterbury,
but whether it will have any effect
on the powers that be, will not be
known for some time. It Is certain
that the park was well patronized
during fine weather, and what Is
wanted is a building where they
could conduct indoor sports and
hold meetings.
