INSIST —Get —the wholesome Spread for Bread POSTMAN GRANTED SYMPATHY OF ALL FOR SUPPORT FOR HIS WAGE PLEA IS STILL LACKING BY DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, April 18.—Every- body is for the postman yet nobody wants to pay the increase in his salary. ¢ This sums up the situation that has arisen with reference to the $150,000,000 appropriation proposed in the E¢ge-Kelly bill and the $43,- 000,000 appropriation suggested as a substitute by Postmaster General Harry 8, New. Chambers of commerce in many parts of the country have petitioned congress to he!p the postman, Farm- ers’ organizations express a friend- ly interest in the welfare of the post- man. But all these organizations are opposing the levy of additional Postage out of whicif the increases in pay are to come. The American Farm Bureau Fed- eration calls the Edge-Kelly bill, with its $150,000,000 appropriation simply “political pap” designed to build up the Republican administra- tions instrumentalities for vote get- ting next election, for despite the strict ru’es with rerpect to the par- Ucipation of federal employes in politics, the fact that postmen go from house to house and have a number of friends on their routes is counted as a political asset of no small value. The position of the farm bureau however, is that the increases in pay should not be taken out of the parcel port rates, Mr. New has al- ready announced that his plan in- cluded a $43,000,000 expenditure for salary increases out of which the parcel post shall pay $30,000,000 in Increased rates. The remainder is to be raised by increases in secon¢. third and fourth class postage. There is no intention of raising the first class postage rates. a The announcement that second, third and fourth class rates are to be tampered with has aroused the various publishers organizations who have begun to fight the mea- ure. ‘The farm bureau points out that $500,000 was appropriated recently to investigate the whole question of a scientific adjustment of postal rates and that to legislate in ad- vance of scientific findings is sim- GROCERY } Phone 2040 HENCH WE DELIVER & MARKET 826 East A Saturday BUTTER, lb. 4 No. 2 Tomatoes 4 No. 2 Hawkeye Corn_- 5 Cans Tall Milk____ No. 2% Apricots.____--_ Hills Bros. or Schilling Co Winesap Apples —- Blue Goose Orang Ruhbarb Cabbage MEAT DEP.

But the inquiry prob- ably would not be concluded in time to make the postal salaries higher this year and this Is the time when )| the politicians want it to apply. There seems to be a general opin- fon that parcel post rates need some adjustment but the exact method of app'ying the Increases will depend to a large extent on comparative conditions for to make the rates too burdensome simply switches much of the business to the express com- panies. Indeed, some of the farmer representatives charge that the whole thing is a scheme to ruin the parcel post and that such a result would not be displeasing to the ex- Press companies, Some of the big publishing houses with large circulation from one end of the country to the other have found it cheaper to ship their mag- azines by freight and express. This has done away to a !arge extent with the argument that the govern- ment ts carrying at a low rate some of the national periodicals. The pro- hibitive rate has operated to drive that particular kind of business away from the postal system alto- gether, So in making rates the govern- ment is obliged to proceed carefiilly ‘est the whole parcel post structure be damaged. Truck loads of data have been obtained on the subject from all parts of the country. The Postmaster general is reported as having been desirous analyzing this data before making final rec- ommendations but the pressure for the passage of the Edge-Kelly bill forced his hand. His recommenda- tions will «nevertheless be fought by the farm interests on the ground that three fourths of the new ex- pense is to be borne by the parcel post which, in turn It is continued, ‘preys‘upon the farmer.” Thus has the age ol¢ question of postal rates which became acute in the Taft ad- ministration, come back again to plague the Coolidge administration.
