Big WPA Appropriation Is
A s k e d For By President
He Also Declared That 1t
Must Be Freed OF All PO-
IiticaI Influences.

Washington, Jan. 5.-President
Roosevelt asked congress in q
special message today to vote
$875,OOO,OOO Immediately to con-
tinue the Works Progress admin
istration until June 30, but he
took cognizance of growing crit
cism of the agency by demand
ing drastic legislation to prevent
political manipulation" of flu
ture federal relief OUTLAWS.
The request for deficiency ap-
preparation to avert WPA shut
down later this month, came
shortly after Mr. Roosevelt pre-
sented his regular relief-recovery
budget for the 1910 fiscal year
beginning July l, calling for
$2,266, 10000 program, $1,000
100000 less than appropriated for
the current year.
He warned the legislators that
it was imperative to vote the de-
ficiency bill quickly to avert suf-
fering among relief recipients
but that statutory restrictions
against improper political prac-
tees should be the subject OF
study and hearings" for later
application to the 1910 program
1T is my belief" he said, "that
improper political practices car
be eliminated only by the impo-
sition Of rigid statutory regula-
tons and penalties by the con-
gress, and this should be done
Such penalties should be imposed
not only upon persons within the
administrative organization Of
the Works Progress administra
ton, but upon outsiders who
have in fact in many instance!
been the principal offenders II
this regard"

Postal Receipts
Slightly Lower
Decrease In Money Orders
In 1888. Little Difference
In Stamp Sales.

Postal receipts for West Jeffer-
son for the past year showed a
Slight decrease under those of
1887 according to a report re-
ceived from Postmaster Basil
Barr, yesterday. The total re-
ceipts for 1887 were $48, 594.27,
while the receipts for 1898 were
$46, 5000.
In the sale of stamps 1887 led
1898 by 1868 and in money Or
ders the total for 1887 was $43,-
39.40 as compared to Sal, 1880
for this past year. This figure
should be encouraging to mer-
chants, since the $4,000 de-
crease in money order receipts
would indicate that the people
are trading at home more instead
of sending their money else
where.
The sale Of stamps by quarters
for 1888 was as follows: quarter
ending in March, $1309.94; June
$1236.31; September, $1404.89;

responding periods in 1887, the
sales were as follows: S13l6.45:
$134245; S14O5.37; $1483.80. 1t is
interesting to note that for the
quarter ending in September
there was only &c difference be-
tween the two totals. The only
quarter in which 1888 climbed
ahead of 1887 was in December
with an increase Of $15.95. Mr.
Barr stated that in Dec. the post
office broke all records in the
sale of one and one-half cent
