THE MAGAZINE GRAFT.
One of the bitterest fights of the present session will
be waged in the .Senate and House when the proposal to
increase the postage on maga
bodies.
.Magazine publishers, editors and writers charge that
the increase is calculated to cripple their business, when
the fact is they show in their advertisements of maga-
zine stock for sale enormous profits.
They pay now 1 cent per pound; it is proposed that
they shall hereafter have their first 4000 pounds at the
1-cent rate; that the reading ami advertising sections
shall be weighed separately, and the weight of the read-
ing section above 4000 pounds shall go at 1 cent, and
of the advertising section at 4 cents.
Jt has been estimated by the 1'ostoffice Department
that the change would add $5,000,000 to the postofflce
annual revenues.
President Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock
first proposed this increase in magazine rates more than
a year ago, with the purpose of meeting the postal
deficit, in part at least.

outlook for the measure is dubious. The House
opposition expects to defeat the increase; the. Senate is'
counted more likely to favor it.
If the House rejects and the Senate accepts it, the
conference must decide, and in conference the conferees
for both houses would likely favor the advance.
In that event, a fight, even to the point of talking
the bill to death at the end of the sessoin, has been ser-

THE COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS
Ihe Alva Pioneer expresses the sentiment of all
fair minded, loyal citizens, though many may dif-
fer with him in reference to the dissenting opinion
ot Judge Jesse J. Dunn in the state capital question;
In speaking of the decision of the supreme
court in the capital location case, the new col-
umns of the Oklahoman, stated that Judge
Dunn's dissenting opinion surprised many of his
friends, or rather said that 'contrary to the
expectations of his friends, Judge Dunn filed a
dissenting opinion.' If any individuals in this
state expected that Judge Dunn would be guid-
e<i by anything else besides his own convictions
as to what the law is they do not know the man
One reason that Judge Dunn has so niauv sub-
stantial and worthy friends, is because they
know him to be a high minded and conscien-
tious jurist. While men of this kind are on the
bench the safety of the institutions of a t'
craey are assured. We have no desire

SENATE HAS GOOD REASONS
In referring to the "election fraud"
defenso by the state, the Medford Pat-
riot says,
\N eli, what is the matter, anyhow?
What Is the reason that the attorney
general, elected by the people of this
•-lute, and re-elected, Is i.ot capable to
•ake hold of the affairs that properly
cotno under the Jurisdiction of his office.'
Surely the attorney general io an hon-
st man and also a capable one. Surely
tho people of this state and the demo-
cratic part of it. did not make a mistake
in selecting him for the law office of tho
state.
I ids is not a political question with
the people, now that the election is over,
't is a question simply of general inter-
est. Perhaps the democratic senate might
give the reason why it refused the attor-
ney general to act and perhaps it might
not. In any event It will take a very
nice fee to pay the extra attorney and,
well, the people of Oklahoma are pros-
pering with magnificent crops, and splen-
did prospects for still greater, why
should they care about a small matter
of expense."

THE SALVATION ARMY,
General Hooth declares that the Salvation Army
is now at work on a problem of benefitting the crim-
inal class.
Unemployment is the question of the l our. While
trade conditions are better, in every town he goes,
he finds a mass of poverty that would make
angels weep.
Surely, there must be some means of dealing with
these suffering people—those families huddled into
single rooms in miserable tenements and miserable
slums.
The Army has acquired 400 acres of ground near
( olehester, III,, which it has cut up into five-acre
lots, each with its cottage, and he is putting the un-
employed at work with every prospect of success.
Possibly, if Booth would investigate the theories
of Henry George and give these people free aee«

Ac-worth's praise Includes very fa
vo.able comment upon American railway
operation in the matter of economy,
declares that in this respect we lead the
world. The statement is somewha
markable because in the past English
iailu av men have been inclined to find
fault with American wastefulness, laying
especial stress on the practice of rail-
road companies in this country o! send-
ing locomotives to the Junk heap after
what the English deem a very short term
of service.
Hut it is this English observer's crit-
icism. rather than his praise, that is of
particular interest. He expresses tho be-
lief that the centralization of the ad-
ministrative power in tho headquarters
In New York and Chicago constitute the
chief defect in American railways.
Undoubtedly the point Is well taken
Such centralisation may make for econ-
omy and perhaps for a more efficient ad-
ministration, but it takes the railways '
too fa - from the people who use them, j
It takes r.o account of the personal '
element, whleh Is always so great a fac-
tor In business and trade relations.
Very likely, a- this English expert ob-
serves there would be a far better feel-

railways If the public came Into per-
sonal contact more often with those who
control and manage the roads.

ADVERTISING TALKS

Ihe Dominion of Canada appropriated
last year |u!>0,000 for advertising pur-

form of publicity.
The result was that 71,000 Americans
located in the three Northwestern Prov-
inces of Canada—Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan ami Alberta - and took with them
about forty million dollars.
It is expected in 1911 that 100,000 moie
