On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Congress has included pro-
viso in the postoffice appropri-
alton bill that hereafter gov
ernment publicity matter shall
be sent out only on request and
in this way expects to save a
tidy sum. The abuse of the
government frank has reached
alarming proportions. In four
years, S8,500,000 pounds of
franked matter went through
the mails which caused a loss
to the postoffice department of
something like 12G million dol
lars. That does not include
the cost of the paper nor pay
for the printing or handling
which is almost as great.
