US. TREATIES TO
 BE REGISTERED
American Decision Held as Common Sense
 Triumph"

Geneva (UP).-The decision of the United States to register its treaties with the League of Ma tions is hailed here as "a triumph of common sense."
 woodrow Wilson, 1t is recalled here, wrote the article in the League Covenant stipulating that all international treaties, to be binding, must be registered and published by the league.
 This article was the natural out growth of ono of Wilson's 14 points calling for "open covenants open' ly arrived at."
 The United States, however, does not agree that none of It's in- ternational instruments are bind- ing until registered and published by the league.
 Washington's action was official- ly explained as having been taken with view to aiding In making the treaty series compiled by the League of Nationas more complete and the texts of the treaties with the United States more widely available in foreign countries" Since it's foundation, the league has registered and published 3.S3s international treaties in practically every known language. They are contained in 13S large volumes and are guarded in flre-proof room.

Thomas J. Condon, superintend- ent of schools, was back at his desk this morning after spending last week at the education conven- ton in Cleveland and expressed himself as deeply pleased with the progressive steps voted at the ses- sion.
 The local educator took an &C., tive part in the discussion of Ed ucation for New America. Gen. eral agreement was given the view that the present status of Amer ican education, particularly in the secondary schools, must be made to accommodate the new type of student ushered in by the depres- sion. The new program will place emphasis on social studies, such as history, government, civics. and economics. It was felt that the trend of the times necessitated more emphasis on these parts of scholastic schedules.
 MT Condon expressed himself as highly pleased with the six-point program voted by the convention, three of them directly concerned with federal aid for schools. The government will be asked to give

POST OFFICE TO MAKE CHANGES IN
 WORK SCHEDULE
Economy Edict Issued From Washington Will
 Affect Many Employees

As the result of orders for econ- omy from Washington, the local post office will be forced to make several changes that will affect workers schedules and mall de- liveries.
 All postal employees must take a four-day. furlough without pay; some carriers may be pressed into extra service as clerks, and all leaves with pay will be discontin- ued except in cases where such leaves will mean no expense to the department.
 The orders will necessitate changes in the mail deliveries fin the outlying sections of the city, which are almost totally residential in nature. Several such sections now getting two deliveries a day will have but one in the future.
 Allowances for substitute work CTS are from now on restricted to emergency requirements. which means that the regular force must perform all duties.
 The message from Postmaster General Farley asks that every single possible economy be made in operating costs to help the de- partment make an effort to keep within it's budget. The order makes three the maximum number of daily deliveries and those only in purely business sections of urban communities. Sections which are classified as mixed business and a % day. while @ sections n 'TS iisted Y.us' as tos
 All surplus carrier tslne will be given to clerical duties and much doubling-up on work will be nec- esSary.

 handicapped schools to carry full schedule next year. The most im- portant point sought IS the dona- ton by the federal government of
 an annual sum of 300 million dol

 Should congress vote the last of the three points mentioned, it
 would mean that Waterbury would

some six weeks ago, announcement
was made this week that the Cleveland
Petroleum Company has purchased
all drilling rights and that drilling
operations have been resumed, pre-
sumably on a much larger scale.
Every indication now appears that
Bridgeville and perhaps that entire
section of Delaware, will soon be ex-
periencing a boom, with land values
sky-rocketing. 1t was learned this
week from good authority that no
less than fourteen big oil companies
have been attracted to this field and
that these companies now have their
representatives out attempting to
lease land and take up proprieties. At
the present time 10000 acres Of land
east of Bridgeville are under lease,
and it is estimated that to properly
extract the oil expected from this
area at least 40 derricks must be
erected. Which in itself will mean
the sepnding of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
With all drilling rights now settled
and with operations resumed in ear
nest, everything appears favorable
for the development of some real oil
gushers before the summer is past.

THE DOLLARS WORTH


 Taking a dollar out of your pocket, it yours,-you can do. anything ycu like with it. But you can't buy dsiisr's worth of, commodities or s, fqices.
 The reason for that is that about g per cent of your dollar has to go to the government If you use it to buy iheartre tickets, gasoline, cigarets, electricity, clothing, or any thing else, 25 per cert of the cost or the average, will represent taxes.
 The main reason we have allowed the tax problem to grow SC grave il. this country is that millions of pt ople haven't realized that such. a problem exists! Their incomes are below the level touched by the in- come, tax. They, Fapt homes They do not own ashusiness, but work for someone. elses have larger- incomes, and possess. property, pay, all the taxes.
 There aren't, enough large income people in the country to- makeS a deilt in meeting the cost of govern ment. The great bulk of taxes i- taken frome7 the ordinary. persons and it is taken indirectly Mstead of writing the. tax collector a check, most of our citizens pay their taxes unknowningly during the course of daily living. Rent is higher than it would be, because the landlord must pay taxes. Salaries are smaller, because the employer is heavily tax ed. Food is more costly becau ;e the farmer the processor, the trans porter and the final seller are all taxed. So it goes, through every thing we need and use.
 Don't be- fooled. Everyone pays taxes-everyone isssin danger of be- ing forced to- pay more. A reduc- tion in taxation through less tax spending is.4essential Tacoma. Pro- gress.
