Member of United Press. Published Daily by The Star Publishing Co. Wash., pos oan 86 matter LET'S LOOK AT THIS ECONOMY We are being asked to cheer loudly for Frank Hitchcock's “business administration” of the postoffice department. | It is a large subject. Let us examine two items. | Up to the time that Hitchcock became postmas-| ter-general the government paid large subsidies to} various railroads for carrying mail on certain fast trains. It paid the usual price for hauling the mail and in addition a bonus for hauling it on the fast trains. But if the fast trains were delayed the government held back a fine or penalty for each hour tardiness. In 1908 the penalties collected amounted to $630,000. For years they had been about $600,000. Then Hitchcock came in, and in 1909 only $34,000 was collected, while in the last postal contracts of July, 1910, the penalty was left out entirely. The subsidy ‘was paid whether the mail got through on time or not. Now comes an order to the effect that in June 636 railway mail clerks will be discharged from the service. As there are 17,000 railway mail clerks, this means that about one out of every 25 will be discharged. But the mail business of the country is growing by leaps and bounds; the men are already overworked and over- whelmed. Now, the average pay of the mail clerks is about $900 a year, so that these two Hitchcock reforms work something like this: $600,000 is taken from the pay en- velopes of employes. Other overworked men are asked to do $600,000 worth of extra labor without extra pay. Favored railroads are given $600,000 extra on the basis of contracts which they do not live up to. Other economies will be pointed to by Hitchcock and it will be found that other moneys saved will be! merely screwed out of letter carriers and postoffice clerks, just as this $600,000 is screwed out of the rail- ‘way mail clerks.

THE AMBITION OF ARGENTINA The new president of Argentina says he will try to show his country how to drive the United States out of the markets of the| so far as grain and meat are concerned. And that is a laud- able ambition in an age of competition among men and nations, Argentina has the broad fields, the climate, the resources gener. ally, and, with the aid of American machinery, she may cut a wide Swath in the market, and even restrict the business of the United tates to narrower limits. What then? The production of grain and meat beyond the satisfaction of the meeds of our own consumers, in competition with the cheap labor of ‘wild, new regions in South America, by no means represents the hhighest use of American soil, muscle and intelligence What we want {s more small farms, more scientific cultivatioy | of divorsified crops, higher development of social and commercial | cooperation among multitudes of independent proprietors, and genu- fine homes on the soil—many, many millions of them.
