THE POSTAL DEFICIT.
Speaking of the growing postal de
ficit, Ralph Whitesides the well-known
Washington correspondent, motes a
well-known msmbsr of the House of
Representatives as saying that It Is
not the administration of the Post
Olflce Deparment that Is responsible
for the Increasing deficiency, but
Congress. It has only been for the
last few years, comparatively speak
ing. that an annual dellcft has been
noted.
Some of the Post Offlce Depart
ment officials, and a few others, are
doing their beat to have It appear that
the deficit Is due to the newspaper
pfess of the country, because of the
low rate on second-class mall matter.
They would like to havd power to
Increase the pound postage rate, in
addition to the autocratic powers
now possessed by the Department
over newspaper publishers. |
if the department really wishes to j
wipe out the deficit, It should recom-1
mend to Congress a curtailment of|
the franking privilege.
"You know,” the old member said,
that It la only for the last few years
that Congressmen have enjoyed the
privilege of franking their official
fetters, ff my memory serves me, the
credit for the franking privilege be
longs to former Representative James
D. Richardson, of Tennessee. He In
troduced the resolution giving to
Representatives and Senators the
right to frsnk all letters written on
official boelnese.
"That Is. any one writing to a Mem
ber or Senator on a matter pending
vulgar Sbowmon. and that they will j before -Congress or the Department
not make any more exhibition flight. i could receive an answer In a franked
In their aeroplanes. In future they envelope. Prior to that time the Poe-
propose to devote their time to man-1 '«*■ bill of a Representative or Sen-
ufacturlng, perfecting "and celling;*‘or was an Item of no mean propor-

A. P. Pernam, Jr., at Waycroaa last

The main thing to be remembered
about the nsw registration law tt
that you must pay your Uses and ref*
''liter alx -months .before the general

requirement, and the man who ex

tnnsn't forget the alx months, lim
it.
. Uncle Sam held bis quarterly sale

a caution for temperance folki. The
Whlakey disposed of at the sale was

Gov. Kitchln, of North Carolina,
kit "the nail on the head" when ns
•aid there was no magical way of
gsttlng good roads, except for the
people to go down in their pockets
for the money to build them. Good
roads won’t grow of themselves, but
they will oome nearer paying for
themselves than anything alee the
people can put their money In.
The recent decision of Chancery
Judge McConnell, In Tennessee, al
lowing the whiskey distilleries In
that State to begin operation and
•hip their (ftoduota to other states, baa
put a bad kink In the Tennessee
■tate-wlde prohibition lew. The Judge
apparently goes on the theory that If
other states can ship whiskey Into
Tennessee, that Tennessee has a
right to . rethllate by sending the oth
er States her whiskey—swapping
Jngn Uke. But welt until the next
legislature has a whack at th* dis
tilleries.
The Post Office Department Is -face
to tees with • deficiency of between
<ll.000.fi00 end tlt.OOO.OOO. Every
year than Is' a deficit of largo pro
portions. The New Tork Tribune
mggeeta that It the congressional
franking privilege wen abrogated
tha shortage would ho out down tre
mendously at one swoop. The mans
•very Vears an required to carry tons
of nsslsaa garden seeds under the
franks of congressman, indeed, house
hold effects, typewriters, boa safes
ltd eves cow* have been franked, or
offend to he franked, by congress
men. But th* privilege la not going
to be abrogated. It Is one of the val
uable perquisites 'of
worth to them several hundreds of
doRam each per year. They ere not
going to gtve It sp. It to easier, and
easts them nothing; to pom s defici
ts cover tbs
tlon. In some Instances the postage
account averaged more than one hun
dred dollars a month.
“It wag the fact that most of a Con-
gresman’s mall was of an official
iharactcr Raich cabled the Rlch-
itlon through the House
ite by an almost unanimous
vote. This fact may be said to be the
beginning of the'growing deficit In
postal receipts.
"That this privilege has been abus
ed, there Is no question of doubt, hut
there are many Congressmen who
adhere atilctly to.the letter of the
lew and pay postage on all personal
correspondence, which amounts to
considerable.
.The chief abbse of the franking
privilege Is to he found among the
lawmakers. years ago a
certain m«$ihor of. the House franked
Me household foisnlture to his Wes
tern hojfi|jt]qit about the time,the
department had -ordered the weigh-
of the malls ay a basis for mak-
wlth tils railroads. If
_ leg privilege Was observed
es It should be, the -'-abuse would
soon ilnk to a minimum, anj there
would not bd’i^eh^’ q deficiency

the registry fee. •+/ W ■
If the post offlce officials art- bent
on making tbs department eelfenk-
talnlng. at Is the patent oflloa,-!et
them Induce Congress to give the
people s parcels post Then In e very
little while there would be a differ
ent tele to tell, end one-oent letters
poitegs would follow. The newspapers
of the country are not responsible for
the deficit complained of by the Post
master General.
There are now ponding before the
House Committee on Poet offices and
Postroads several bills providing for
parcels post in connactlon with
free rural delivery, .and as Postmas

be taken for granted that U will re

Perhaps the parcels post may be
used tor trading purposes when the

However, there wllT be a hitter

THE SOUTH’S BIG SURPLUS.
The 8avannah Morning Newt, In
a conalo of strong editorials re
cently, has been urging the people
of Georgia to Insect their money
at home, and calling on the boat-
ness men and capitalists to pro-
vtda mediums at horns for safe
and profitable Investment
la referring to the enonnoim In
come Georgia is realising this year
from her cotton crop, the News
JW- ' - I
On Thursday the Morning
Newt, published an eiUqrlill
article Ip- /which the net proljt
of the Cotton crop this ymi ■!&
Georgia would be about-jitOf
000,030, the total value «f: tip
crop being Vkbout $170,000,000,
and the coat of production ISO,-.
000,000.' An Intereating quea-
llon is, how will, this $00r
000,000 be Invested? ' Of
course, much of It will go* to
psy debts, and lor living ex
penses end even for luxuries
not before Indulged in, but
there will be millions remain
ing for Investment of one kind
and another.
Hasn’t the time come for
Investing money made at home
In borne enterprises? Every
year the South sends many
millions of dollars to, the
North for life and fire jnsnf
ranee, and also for manufac
tured articles which could he
manufactured Just as profitably
In the 9outh as elsewhere; ;Why
should the money of the,South
be sent to. New York for'.fire
and Ufa Insurance? It Is' true
that «a have both life aijtf Arp
Insurance companies her* in
the South, but we haven't - as
many as we ought to have and
the most of them are In -need
of more capital in order to get
business.
The News urges the financiers
and bualness men of Georgia, and
of the South to study the situation
and put up factories for making
the thousands of articles for which
we now send our money to the
North and East In the following
extract It itrlkea the key-note and
tells why the South remains poor
nnd the North rich and dominant:
If we arc to build up our
city—If the South Is to he
built up—the surplus money
which the soil yields must be
Invested In home enterprises.
The North has been gsttlng
rich at the expense of the Sonth
altogether too long. At peas
ant prices this year’s cotton
arop, lint and seed, will bring
close to $900,000,000. With
euch sn Income as that tae
South should go ahead by
leapa and bounds, and ahe will.
If her bualness men and finan
ciers will open the way for In
vesting the Surplus part,
In Southern enterprises.
The business men and finan
ciers of Savannah should do
their part of this work. It Is
a work that the business men
and financiers of every city and
town In tho South should do. If
they don’t do tt, the money
which should make the South
rich beyond any other section
will drift away and be used to
build up other sections of the
country. A little more enter
prises on the part of tha
South’s business mss will re
sult tn making openings for
tbs Investment of all of ths
South’s surplus money.
