The Douglas County assoclation of Ne- braska Ploneers voted yesterday to begin its mid-winter soolal at 1 p. m. February 2, in order to permit members to take part in and to witness the laying of the corner stone of the new Douglas county court house, which is scheduled for that same afternoon at 2:30 or 3:30. { W. 1. Kierstead was unanimously chosen grand marshal to arrange for the march of the ploneers from Masonic hall to the | court house square, Mr. Kierstead an- nounced that he would endeavor to have a suitable number of seats provided for the old ploneers at the ceremonies. Sveral of | these are living who witnessed and took | part in the laying of the corner stone of | you will find it clearly proved from the 3 Post-Office Department’s own reports, that it is” totally \unnecessary to put any addi- tional tax on magazines and periodicals, and-that a deficit of $17,500,000 is ot chargeable to the periodicals. B | 0. 8,8 808 * “For instance, the Post- Office Department is charging $18,821,100 of the cost of rural free delivery against the second-class mail. Now, rural free delivery was established as 2 matter of Govern- ment policy, and we believe in it, but it is not fair to charge one dollar of this expense against the magazines. It is undoubtedly of benefit to the daily newspapers, but the Department is trying to ezempt them [rom an increase in rate. The magazines do not need or want once a day or twice a day deliveries on these rural routes. ** Page 266, Postmaster’s Report, 1908, says: ‘Franking privileges weighed 4,555,634 pounds. They certainly cost the average price of all mail in all ways. And Governmental matter for Departments other than the Past-Office weighed 18,644,010 pounds.’ “This report says that if the matter was charged at postal rates it would yield a revenue as follows: Secondclass . . . . . 4 0.0 Frankedmatter . . . « ¢ « + o & Government matter . . . . . .

We ask Congress to give us a Director of Posts—as recommended by the joint: Congressional committee of 1907, an officer who shall be non-political, and whose term of service shall not be subject to political changes, and who shall conduct the workings of the Post-Office Depart- ment with the efficiency, economy and business-like methods which distinguish high-class American business enterprise.

McVann, The Omaha Association of Credit Men ‘| held a banquet at the Rome last night. Over fifty members of the organization were present to enjoy the banguet and to hear two addresses. John Duff, president of the assoclation, in a witty speech introduced the first speaker, J. A. C. Kennedy, referee in bank- ruptcy, who gave an interesting address on “‘Bankrupty.” Mr. Kennedy reviewed the evolutionary process which has led to the enactment of the present federal statute governing vol- untary and involuntary bankruptey. He explained the steps that had been taken in the development of the laws from the time of the Romans to the present day and heartily cndorsed the federal law of iuday, which provides for the equitable distribu- tion of, mssets and the dlscharge of those who are hopelessly involved. “My observation is that the numerous small bankruptcy estates, without any as- sets whatever for distribution, are drawn almost entirely from the Wage-sarning classes. “One group represents clerks and other wage-earners, such as rallway enginzers and firemen, in the meshes of loan “sharks” and who, In desperation, are finally driven to the | incubus which no other form of relief cun | ettectively aispose of. By observation and | siderable percentage of the wage-earning bankrupts, who take advantage of the “bankruptey act,’ are driven thereto by the salary usurers who are permitted to flourish in this state. These salary grab- bers do Infinitely more harm than the av- | erage business man appreclates. The funds | whieh, by their usurigus methods, they un- who have become entagled | bankruptey courts to rid themselves of the | inquiry I have ascertained that a very con- | fairly and improperly exact from their victims, are funds which would otherwise 0 ‘to 'the Wischarge of the vietims' just debts. If these funds were not so improp- erly diverted from thelr proper sources they would be paid to the local butcher, baker and shoemaker, and in turn to the Jobber and manufacturer, and trade condi- tions along the line would be benefitted and strengthened. As it Is the funds so im- properly diverted simply go to swell the fortunes of these nefarious money lenders with practically no consideration in re- turn.” B. J. McVann, traffic manager of the Commereial club, spoke on ““What's Doing in Washington.” He gave a history of the legislation leading to the formation of the Interstate Commerce commission und the enactment of the Hepburn-Dolliver law. He endorsed the Hepburn-Dolliver law, Lut said it could be amended in several ways to make it more effective. He declared the act to be “the first real act making ell shippers equal in their rights under the law."” At the close of Mr. McVann's address members of the assoclation asked him questions, which he was prompt and ex- plicit In answering.
