The Postoffice Record One of the strongest available argu- ‘ments against the indiscriminate en- try of government, local state or na- tional, into private business is the @nnual report of the postoffice de- partment, made public Monday. If size is an asset in itself, this governmental agency has it. In many respects it is the largest business in the world, employing more persons ‘than any other private or public or- ganization. If spread of interest is a necessity to success, it has that virtue, for it seaches into every town and hamlet fm the country. If having a monopoly contributes anything to success the postoffice de- partment should enjoy continuous prosperity. The government will not permit competition with it. Yet the postal department lost money during the last fiscal year and the oldest inhabitant cannot re- ‘member when it last showed a profit. ‘This despite the 15-per-cent reduc- _— tion in pay for postal employes made Yast year and a sharp reduction in the number of workers, brought about largely by failure to fill vacancies which developed as the result of death or retirement. ‘The report shows $80,000,000 was saved in this field alone during the “year, of which $22,000,000 was due to @ reduction in the number of em- ployes. The huge army of postal workers reached its approximate peak on December 31, 1929, when 254,946 per- sons were on the rolls. By Novem- ber 30, 1933, the number had fallen to 235,573 persons. The total audited expenditures for the fiscal year 1933 were $700,006,- 256.53, a reduction of $93,716,277 be- low the expenditures of the previous year. The postal revenues for 1933 ‘were $587,631,364.48, so that the gross deficiency of revenues was $112,374,- 892.05. This compares with audited expenditures of $793,722,534.03, rev- enues of $588,171,922.94, and a gross Yevenue deficiency of $205,550,611.09 for the fiscal year 1932. ‘The amount expended during t’ > year for shipping and commercial eviation subventions was $45,264,- 945.57; the postage value of the mail service performed free for Congress, the courts, and the executive depart- ments of the government was $15,- 835,035. These and certain other items separately classified under tie fact of June 9, 1930, providing for the segregation of non-postal items con- tributing to the deficiency of the pos- tal revenues, aggregated $61,691,286.59, nd had the effect of reducing the toss revenue deficiency from $112,- 374,802.05 to a true deficit, embracing postal transactions only, of $50,683,- 605.46. This compares with a net, Meficit of $152,246,188 during the pre- Ceding fiscal year. The department estimates that, from the date in its possession, had the 2-cent postage rate been con- tinued the receipts from first-class, mailings during 1933 would not have exceeded $257,000,000 by comparison gain of $75,000,000 as a result of the Nigher rate, after allowing for all losses and diversions directly attri- butable to the rate increase, is con- Sidered & conservative estimate.

The sum available to meet this de- mand for money is $79,000,000, which is more than double the $34,000,000 loaned to 14,000 farmers in 1933, Leading the reasons for the delay im the 45,800 unclosed deals still pending is the fact that 18,900 credi- tors still are undecided whether they will cut down their claims to the point where the government agencies will take over the risk. The bank takes no part in these negotiations, limiting its activity to appraising the land and fixing the amount it will loan. The creditor and debtor must settle their difficulties between them- selves, Next in order is the fact that 14,700 farmers have failed to send in their abstracts after their applications have been approved. In some cases two and three letters written to the applicants have brought no results. Third on the list is the fact that 8,400 farmers have failed to accept the loans offered, despite the fact there is no apparent reason for them not doing so.

Commenting on the fact that 1933 saw the lowest death rate in history, this authority says: “With better times—in the off- ing if not actually here—we can expect greater mortality from accidents. With greater numbers reemployed, more are subject to the hazards of industry. The same holds true for automobile accidents. Traffic—both pleas- ure and business—is becoming heavier; and this in turn fur- nishes more chances for a greater number of drivers and riders in motor cars. ‘This increase in automobile mortality was one of the first developments we ob- served among policyholders im- mediately following the decided upturn in employment, which took place in 1933.” Just as every cloud has a sliver uining #0 does every advance carry /hands, is less effective or less satis- factory than the guillotine and snare, the standard tonsillectomy, in com- petent hands, is entitled to the de- gree granted above.

He looked lonely and disconsolate. Curt won- dered whether Sonya had really told him the truth about her trip. Ralph was an unselfish soul, but to bring the girl he loved into that country and help her join another man seemed a bit too self-effacing even for him. Probably she had spuw him some lie, As he brought Paul an extra rock he was startled by the low quaverin; call of an owl six hundred yards out upon the lake. He dropped the rock, stood listening.

Now he saw through the whole ruse. Their trips after a car bou had been a scheme to secure a canoe and get away. Those two had deserted! He whirled the canoe around and started back to camp, swearing at the evil luck that dogged every step he took. The treachery of those na- tives was little short of disaster. He had counted heavily on them to take Ralph back south; and now they had sneaked away, the pair of cowards, and Nichols was left on his hands. It he and Paul were encumbered with Ralph on their swift shadowy trip, they would not stand a ghost of a chance. Before he had gone very far he heard a rifle shot down stream. He stopped short, listened. A mile south, down where the river nar rowed to a bottle neck, a flurry of shots sounded. The dull thud of the guns was uninistakable—the heavy bear Winchesters of Jocku and Francois. Those two guides were in trouble; they’d run into an am- bush! One of the Winchesters suddenly stopped. The other shot four times more. Then, faintly in the taut si- lence, a long-drawn yell wafted up river, more a scream than any ar- ticulate word. Piercing, vibrant with terror, it sent shivers through Curt, It was a man’s death cry. All his anger changed to heartfelt pity. “Poor devils!” he said softly. “They got it. The Klosohees had a Party at that narrows, to cut us off if we tried to break away.” Curt,” she said quietly, with a hu- ing it and plugging chinks so that P| LTE whipped on ashore, goaded by the memory of that cry. Paul had heard it too, and knew what it meant. Working swiftly, they made ready to leave. They left the tents standing, abandoned most of the supplies and all the heavier things; took nothing but guns, blankets and food for a few days. “Carry this stuff to the canoe,” Curt directed. “I'll go get Ralph.” As he hurried up the island, he tried to figure how he might salvage something out of the wreckage of his plans. Perhaps they could take Ralph several miles up some tribu- tary river where the Klosohees were not likely to come, and secrete him in some cave, with food and camp necessities, to be picked up later when they had fin.shed with Karak. han. It was possible. “Ralph! Come along with me. We're pitching away from this place on the jump.” Ralph got up quickly. “Why, to let her go. what's the matter?” oT] When we stepped outside the tent ee tell you later.
