F R I D ^ ^ ” MAY HAVE POSTAL INCREASE Report* given out by Postmaster General Walter Brown in­ dicate the department will sooner or later ask for an increase in portal rates on that class mail to meet a constantly growing deficit in the operation o f the department. It has been suggested that the increase be two and phe half centsinstead o f two cents atpresent, What the reactiuu will be no one can tell at this time. A few years ago the rate for third class mail was increased and-the tonage dropped so low the government lost more than under the lower rate. The in­ crease was more than the traffic could bear. The amount o f free mail from government departments evidently could be reduced many thousand tons each year. Again there is no reason why a congressman shoud hjive frank­ ed mail much o f which is purely o f a political nature. If the government pays railroads in proportion to what shippers* pay these rates should be reduced. Railroads are cutting service to the*public without consideration o f public needs to reduce operating costs. Such a policy could bring lower rates to the government for hauling mail and to, shippers in general. Re­ duction in government operation as well as state will have a greater appeal to the public at this time. Increased taxes and mail charges will be resented by the public. by Arthur Brisbane He’ll Try » Lindbergh W ill NiiSaoUai Fall? Angels That Watch Us Oakland’s Fine Idea R oy Amroel, a rai-haired young man from North Dakota, who did some air fighting in the war, and enjoyed it, has invested his $4Q,ik)0, including his last dollar,. in * fast Lockheed Ex­ plorer plane, and plane to fly by him* self to Paris. He calls the trip that he plans "Doing a Lindbergh,” and hopes to cover the distance, 3,610 m iles, in about twenty-five hours, beating Lind­ bergh by nMrly eight hours. I f he does that, Lindbergh w ill be well pleased. The engine decides the speed, and Lindbergh, like everybody else, knows that the trip will be made eventually in ten hours and less, GAMBLING IN FOOD PRODUCTS Wheat has reached a new low price and we are t o1d it is the lowest in twenty-four years. Farmers have not much reason to worry about that for the simple reason ninety-five per cent of wheat raised by farmers was sold at threshing time. •This means that wheat at the new low price will not excite many farmers, unless it is the few that have some in storage. The speculators that deal in wheat and paid much higher prices are now letting out'long and' loud crys about low wheat and the blame is being placed on the Russian government. . I f the Russian government had anything to do with dealing in wheat on the Chicago market by "selling short” some Ameri­ can broker or brokers actually made the transaction possible Demands have been made by Secretary Hyde o f the Chicago Board o f Trade for an investigation, meantime wheat continues to drop. Lower wheat in the big market should mean lower feed prices such as is found in the patent brands and bran. But will farmers get this benefit at a time when they need it most? How much will flour drop 2nd how much can the. baker lower the price o f bread? Cattle have been low in price hut the consum­ er finds little difference in the price o f meat for his table. Gambling ip food products may be prohibited someday bul o f recent years any form o f gambling, in the stock market has beep regarded lawful business. Men have been ruined, banks have been closed as the result o f this form o f gambling but the public seems to be more interested in petty gambling like what might he found at a dog race track. It seems to be a greatei sin than gambling in food products. . George Seldes, able newspaper man, returns from Europe, predicting "Mus­ solini’s fall from power -with his Fascist government tumbling about his ears within a year.” Revolution will do the job, says Mr. Setde$, and Mussolini’s enemies at home are preparing it, He thinks Mussolini might plunge Italy into war to stave off revolution.' Other rulers have done that, and successfully, * France evidently 'is convinced that her first trouble will come frbm Italy! and seeks alternately to placate and terrify the implacable and forever un­ terrified Mussolini. . Concerning that powerful leaders, the marvel is that he has endured so long Hie terrific strain o f gigantic re­ sponsibility- And a greatei- marvel is that, with absolute power and so many attacks on his life, he has ruled so moderately. ■ r "■"L HORSE IS STOLEN—NOW BURNING THE BARN Reports we read, o f the activity o f state officials handling what'is left o f the Washington C. H. bank wreckage would make the public believe Ohio’s bank inspection department was the most outstanding in the country. It is in the mind o f the public but for inefficiency, stupidity and corrupt political pull With the banking department and the .attdrney genera' taking some new form o f activity almost daily the public is expected to be made to believe that everything was all right and is now all right. Nevertheless the public knows the banks are closed and depositors see little or no hope o f getting their money back. Had these two departments been as diligent a year ago as today 6,500 depositors o f the two banks in Fayette county might not now be suffering the mental torture and anguish that has been inflicted upon them. It has been reported In banking cir­ cles that the Ohio Banking Department would not have permit­ ted the merger o f the two banks had it not been for the Daugh­ erty pull. ; , Depositors are satisfied and there is no power to dispel the idea that nothing but politics was responsible for the remain­ ing assets o f several closed banks being turned bver to the Daugherty bank as depository. I f the bank department admits it did not know o f the condition o f the Daugherty bank, it is proof the Ohio Bank-Department is inefficient. I f it admits it bank as a .depository. Suits by the score will be the result o f the activity o f the department and the attorney general. Innocent citizens will be subject to humiliation and heavy costs to defend themselves at a time when not only their financial resources are the lowest but a time when their funds are probably all tied up in the wrecked institution. The order o f the day with the state 'officials in charge o f the bank affairs is nothing more than-grandstand play to ease the conscience o f those who have lost and to* fool a large per cent o f Ohio citizens that have never: experienced hav­ ing their money tied up in. a wrecked financial institution. A little dfligence and honest dealing raonths ago would have saved hundreds o f depositors their money. It might also have given the Ohio Bank Department a better standing in the minds o f the public. It would also have saved many other banks embarrassment that naturally follows exposure such as Wash­ ington C. H. is going through. ' ■ Every citizen in reviewing the Fayette county situation should apply himself or herself as one o f the victims. It then would be easy to realize what 6,500 depositors o f the two- banks are now experiencing. Had the Ohio Bank Department a head that could act with­ out political consequence the horse would never have been stolen. As it is the department is attempting to distract atten­ tion by burning the bam to get the nasty mess out o f the minds o f the people most concerned. It is no wonder Fayette county citizens are hard to convince that their savings were safe guard­ ed or what little left will ever be returned. Every new move by* state officials,now is only cause for more suspicion. Angels that watch us,ran perhaps talk about us, must'have been amused when they saw Henry Ford sleeping at Nancy, in a bed once occupied by the sultan o f Morocco. .The bed could not well have held two individuals farther apart than the sultan o f Morocco and the sultan oi Detroit. * i But to the angels we may seem-as much alike as ants seem to us. Oakland, one o f the most progres­ sive cities in progressive California, establishes, thanks to the University o f California, the country’s first "adult education center.” The adult, rather than thd child, craves information, eagerly seeking tt repair lack o f neglect o f opportunity in childhood. No man should feel that he is "too old to learn.” Desire to learn proves o f itself that you atili can tear#. On tile opening day o f the univer­ sity fo r adults, students admitted in­ cluded a banker, a day laborer, school teachers, two doctors, a dentist, a photographer, clerks, bookkeepers, in­ surance agents, a successful merchant and two truck drivers. Well might the anqient Chinese say: “He that knows not, and knows that he knows not, is wise. Encourage him.” Chicago’s police, in the fight against racketeers, raided 10 labor union o f­ fices. Papers seized show the deter­ mination o f racketeer gangB to "mus­ cle” into reputable tabor groups and control them. Forunately, union labor as a whole is free thus far from any racketeering taint. But union racketeering does exist on a gigantic and dangerous scale. The welfare o f the unions demands that it be stamped out. H ave Y ou Exam ined Y ou r R oo f?

These Crudes contain a high natural content o f the so called, aromatics naphthenes and unsaturates petroleum compounds which produces the desired anti-knock qual­ ity. This unusual gasoline COMBINES IN ONE MOTOR FUEL every desirable quality required by high compression motors and in addition contains the same quick starting and smooth operating characteristics that ave popularizd High Test Gasoline. The great power found in Smackover accounts not only for its remarkable anti-knock performance but likewise is responsible fo r considerably higher mileage yields per gallon.
