MORE AIR MAIL
ROUTES PLANNED
Postmaster General Farley
Says Millions Will Be
Saved Government

st Louis, Apr. 2s-(UP)--When
all of the contracts are let by the
postoffice department, the nation
will have a greater air mail sys-
tenn than ever before at cheaper
cost, Postmaster Gen. James A.
Farley said today in an address
at dedication of this city's new
federal building.
He said there would be approx
mately 26,500 route miles as COM
pared with 25,248 before the con-
tracts of private lines were rescind-
ed.
Farley defended cancellation of
the airmail contracts, insisting
there is evidence that these con-
tracts were the result of collision
and fraud"
"If bids on the remainder Of the
routes do not run higher than the
average of those opened on April
20, air mail service over approxi-
mately 26,50O route miles in the
new system will cost several mill
lion dollars less than did the SER
vice over the 25,24S miles of the
old system and much new territory
will be served he said.

that the Smithsonian should re-
print the document for widespread
power propaganda purposes.
He said the suggestion should be
handed to Mr. Charles Taft with
the idea of getting it before his
brother (the chief justice), who is
chancellor of the Smithsonian in

Thompson, on the following day,
allegedly wrote Burke at Pitts

facts as to why the Smithsonian
institution paper on Niagara Falls
should be given wide distribution
IL was thought this might be hand
ed to Mr. Charles Taft with the idea
OF getting it before his brother,
who is Chancellor of the Smith

The Smithsonian did not author
ize a second printing of the pam
phlet and there was no indication
that either Burke or Mr. Taft took
cognizance of the letters.
Wyer brought Mr. Hoover's name
into the inquiry in connection with
printing OF the pamphlet.
Mr. Walcott Smithsonian direc-,
tori stated that the cabinet
officer wanted to see the manu-

1898 were approximately $8,700.-

ly checked we may soon be the
heaviest taxed people In the world.
The aggregate of comparable taxes
of Great Britain last year abb
sorbed about % per cent OF ma

seryative estimates. The burden OF
taxation in this country is still be-
low that of Great Britain but our
standard of living has been estab-
lished on "a basis which has re-
uuired a much smaller percentage
Of income for tax purposes. To in-
crease sharply at time when ma
tional income Is emerging from
low ebb is to place a brake upon
consumer spending and so retard
recovery.
OF marked significance Is the
fact that the trend of taxation IL
up in this country and down in
Great Britain. For the fiscal year
ending March 81, 1884, Great Brit
ain reported a surplus of about
$3.50, 900, 900. The British chancel-

Random Notes

Governor Pearson's able Labor Day
address appears IN the present issue.
The labor situation is no easy question to
discuss if we wish to be fair TO all pr
ties concerned. Labor will always be
prepared to prove now it is being ex,
plotted and the employing class is usual
ly ready with its figures of cost of pro
duction to prove otherwise
The Governor has dealt with this
broad subject in way that can cansr
no hard feeling: no wild charges have
been launched upon any class or grcuD
of people and yet he has Dolnte d out the
major evils in cur present system.
10 those persons who study the eeono
mic situation and who are not crcum-
scrlbed by purely personal interest this
address will bring much food for thou ght
and they may see this question in light
as never before presented by any one.
Avis" is limiting about $4,000 90
damage suits and congratuating itself
that it has been wise enough TO steer
clear of fifty thousand dollars worth of
trouble. Our cotem seems to know more
than it chooses to tell. A fellow who
falls over board wearing such heavy
suit will find swimming a more
difficult task than under ordinary cir
cumstances. We would be in sympathy
with any one who suffers the sort OF
misfortune Avis" is telling US about.
