| THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND, February 7, 1920—Page 3 DEMOCRATIC LEADERS SEE GOOD GROUNDS FOR SWEEPING VICTORY IN FALL. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1.) ing to bring" up the soldiers' farm-laftd bill." Mr. Campbell said he was not able to advise the minority leader. "That bill has been reported and has been on the calendar here for five or six months—since August 1—and a great many people want to know when anything is going to be done about it, or if anything at all is going to be done about it, and why it is not Drought up and considered," insisted Mr. Ciark. "That bill provided three things: First, to get water onto the dry land, and to take water off the wet land, and to take over cutover lands. Here is the point: Before this Congress met, Secretary Lane got up a bill which is now called the Mondell bill. "It was heralded all over the country, witn a great flourish of trumpets and braying of brass bands and everything else that that proposed legislation was one of the chief things that the extra session of Congress was going to meet for." Kepresentatives Walsh and Campbell tried to divert Mr. Ciark but witnoiu success. *"We have been running for seven months on what the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Mann) calls -cnicken-feed' bills, ana notning has been done about this important legislation," declared Mr. ClarK. Mr. Kitchin, laughing, said Mr. Clark was cruel to the Republicans. "That question is very embarrassing to the chairman of the Rules Committee.' said Mr. Kitchin. "He is not in favor of the bill himself, and it is quite embarrassing to the majority leader. 1 can tell you wnen the Republicans are going to give you some information about that. They are going to wait until the national convention to tell the American people what they are going to do if they are elected to the next Congress. It seems that the gentleman who introduced this bill has not even pushed it, has not asked the Rules Committee to report it out, and has not asked unanimous consent for its consideration. I thought it was a real bill for the soldiers and not for bumcombe." It was made plain during the consideration of the postoffiee appropriation bill in the House that Majority Leader Mondell and other Republicans are playing politics with the vital interest? of the people. The striking down of the air mail service by refusing a small appropriation to tfevclop new aii routes hss angered orogres-sive Ut-publica" Congressmen who assert thai Lheir leader has antagonized populous cities ot the West whi?h desire ijuleKer communication with the East. Proposed extensions of the flying service of the Postoffiee Department would have been especially serviceable to middle western States, such as Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio, and to the Pacific coast cities. Representative Tilson, Republican, of Connecticut, broke out in meeting on the subject. '"1 have been proud of my membership in this House," said he, "but I look with shame upon sentiments expressed here on this subject. The action, taken by the House not only denies development of the mail service, but also denies the opportunity for development of the airplane industry of this country." Mr. Mondell was severely criticised by Representative Byrnes of South Carolina for playing politics by making increases not requested by the Postoffiee Department. "After his committee succeeds in taking some $70,000,000 additional from the Treasury," Mr. Byrnes said, we find the Republican leader coming-in here and urging that the House deny the small sum of $150,500 to the aerial mail service and he takes this action after he is shown conclusively that the appropriation of this amount of money will result in an actual saving in the end." The anti-air policy of the Republican leaders of the House has about completely ruined the splendid services, built up the Army and Navy. The plans of the Postoffiee- Department to develop a useful and expensive air mail service connecting the distant points of the country will be given up if the House program is followed by the Senate. The Republicans began their attack on the air service soon after they took charge of Congress last May. Former Representative La Guardia, of New York, led the attack. Now Majority Leader Mondell is leading it. He denied that the service expedited mail, and refused to accept statements that it had paid for itself. The postoffiee officials cannot go ahead with letting contracts or making other necessary preparations for the flying service next year. They planned to link all of the important cities from coast to coast in the next few months. "The new air routes would reduce by one-half the mail time by train," the Department announces. "For instance, a letter mailed in New York would reach the Pacific Coast in approximately 45 hours and 15 minutes, west bound, against 90 hours and 30 minutes, west bound by train, and 51 hours, air time, east bound, against 102 hours, east bound, by train time. The Postoffiee Department is also considering the establishment of a hydroplane route down the Mississippi river from St. Louis to New Orleans, stopping at Cairo, 111., Memphis, Tenh., and Vicks-burg. Miss." Anything that promises progress and advancement is met with opposition on the part of the leaders of the Sixty-sixth Congress. Any proposition on the part of a Democrat to aid the people carry on their business is halted by points of order or other parliamentary-tactics. The following amendment, offered to the postoffiee appropriation bill by a Democrat, was promptly knocked out by an objection raised by Representative Madden, of Illinois: "Provided further, that hereafter the Postmaster General, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, is authorized to make contracts with telephone and telegraph companies for the transmission of letters by electrical means of communication. "Provided further, that the rate to be paid such telephone and telegraph companies for the transmission of such letters by such means of communication shall not exceed 30 cents for 100 words or less, and that the rate of postage prescribed by the Postmaster General for such letters shall be such as to cover full cost to the postal establishment for such service." The Postoffiee Department desires this constructive legislation for the benefit of the masses. Had it been accepted by the Republicans and enacted into law, wire service would have been brough within the reach of all classes. The amendment provided that the sending of such messages or letters was not to cost the postal service anything. It would have resulted in a larger and better service, and a larger benefit to the public. Local Correspondence (Continued from Page 2.) YEOHO.

The Lowest Priced 4,000-lb. Capacity Truck in the World. The hauling needs of the farmer was one of the foremost considerations entering into the construction of the Traffic. The lowest priced 4,000-lb. capacity truck in the world. It is built far sturdier than trucks of its capacity which depend partly upon smooth city streets for their efficiency. The Traffic stands the strain under loads and over roads common to the country and about the farm. Men who believe in economy as well as efficiency can't afford to haul without a Traffic.
