In fact, increases in recent years. The new rate has caused a markéd de- tigs now advocate a return’to the two cent fate. : 2 For example, a firm: which formerly der two cent postafe now card statements for one cent. ‘Also,.it has arranged for customers to pay their bills by | deposits in convenient banks instead of mailing checks, with this result: Formerly the government received two cents as postage on the mailed bill and an- other two cents on the envelope containing the customer’s check. If the new scheme had worked out it would have received three cents postage on the mailed bill, an- other three cents on the envelope with the remitted check and two. cents on the check itself, or a total of eight cents. But under the arrangement devised by the patron it now receives only oné cent. Many bills for- merly mailed are now delivered by em- ployees of various firms at = than post- Age cost. Jf another case,-a bank which former- ly ¥éturned customers’ canceled checks by imail, which would cost from three to 15 eents for each batch returned at the pres- ent rate, now holds these canceled checks and has patrons call at the bank for them. Former ‘creases in newspaper postal rates caused many large publishérs to adopt truck delivery over wide areas, at a saving to them and at a consequént loss to the gov- ernment, And so on. Even a government. monopoly loses when it tries to impose wage yates than the traffic will bear. ROOSEVELT AND SMITH The resumption of friendly relations: between Governor Roosevelt and former Governor Smith, when these | two. Democrat- ic leaders joined forces gail ast Tammany Halt at the Democratic state convention at Albany, means that thete’ will be further accession of strength for the Roosevelt, cam-,}" paigh, as once’ Governor Srhith: gets: into a- political battle, he goes into the fight with. gréat enthusiasm, The regaining of the Smith support is another Roosevelt triumph and another in- dication of the effectiveness, of the Roose- velt type of campaign strategy... One of these days. the. couatry will awaken to the fact that’ this particular gentleman is considerably more clever than most folks have heen inclined to be- lieve. One by one the Democratic candidate has managed to win back every Democrat who opposed hinr at the Chieago conven- tion. ¥ When it is realized that these leaders were fighting mad and that only the small- est spark, the wrong word in the wrong place, would have been sufficient to Hine up a terrific opposition, hia ability must be conceded. ris A ‘ Sf RCHO | OF MARINIRLIAN: The death of a remarkable character was chronicled in’ a” préss’ dispatch ‘frbm Almagerdo, N.
