. with the volume of transactions: It is
believed, therefore, that a recom-
mendation for the reduction of post-
age rates or fees is not warranted at
this time.”
Reviewing his recommendations
for government ownership of tele-
graph and telephone lines, Mr. Burle-
son says:
“The Postmaster General renews
the recommendation embodied in hie
last annual report that Congress ser-
iously consider the question of de-
claring a government monopoly over
all utilities for the public transmis-
sion of intelligence and that steps
be taken as soon as practicable to
incorporate into the postal establish-
ments the telegraph and telephone
5 systems of the country.
“In that report reference was
made to the anomalous condition lu
this country under which the tele-
graph and telephone utilities, be-
Ing vehicles for the public transmis-
sion of intelligence, infringe upon a
function reserved by the Constitu-
tion of the National government.
They inherently, as well as constitu-
tionally. belong to the Postal Ser-
vice. The firm conviction of the de-
‘ partment is here reinterated that
telegraph and telephone service is
inevitably monopolistic and, when
operated under private control, does
not render the maximum of public
service at the minimum cost of the
whole people.
“It Is an interesting fact that,
whereas policies of government have
been advocated and some adopted,
the constitutionality of which have
been serious’; questioned, the prlu
ciple of Government ownership and
control of the telegraph and tele-
phone finds its greatest strength in
the Constitution. This opinion has
been shared by practically all Post-
masters General of (the United
States, who have held that the wel-
fare and happiness of the Nation
depend upon fullest utilization of
these agencies by the people, which
can only be accomplished through
Government ownership.
“It is also recommended that the
telegraph and telephone facilities of
Alaska, Porto Rico, and the Hawn’-
ian Islands be at once taken over
and operated by the Post Office De-
partment. This recommendation ia
based on an exhaustive investiga •
tion which disclosed that the condi-
tions of these Territories are gener-
ally such as to favor the change. A
large part of the property involved
is already government owned and
operated In Alaska by the War De-
partment and in Porto Rico by the
insular government. The services are
so detached geographically as to pre-
clude complicated relationships with
neighboring systems and are yet suf-
ficent in extent to afford valuable
t experimental demonstration for the
Postal Service looking to the admin-
istration eventually of a complete na-
tional services This action will have
the effect of strengthening the Na-
tional Government In Its outlying
Territories, and is specially recom-
mended because of the expediency
of taking over the private owner.
„ships before elaborate and costly ex
tensions and duplications of service
have been built up.''
Defining the general policy he has
pursued, Mr. Burleson says:
“The service has been ad minis-
tered for the convenience of the pub
lie not for 'profit: to promote effi-
ciency by standardizing and simplify-
ing 'procedure; to recognize merit
and eliminate nartisanship: to ex-
tend service wherever present or
prospective returns justify; to reduce
rates so far as proves consistent
with general fiscal necessity; and
to provide all communities and all
sections of the country, as far as
practicable, with uniform service.
“The fact that the Government
exercises a monopoly over the re-
ceipt, transmission and delivery of
mail carries an obligation to per-
form this function for all its eiti-
zens: hence the Postal Service may
not be operated wholly upon the
lines of private enterprise. Whether
or not service shall be granted or
extensions authorized are questions
Here is the agreement between
Jack Curley, the Chicago promoter,
and Jack Johnson, the black cham-
pion. for a fight for the champion
ship of the world. Curley went to
London in November, to which city
Johnson had gone, despite his asser
tions of French patriotism, and there
got the big black to agree to meet
the American giant. The fight will
be held in the latter part of March,
and will run from twenty to forty-
five rounds, according to the deci-
sion of Curley. He has not yet
chosen a place for the contest. It
may go to Mexico or Cuba. Had not
the women of California voted in
favor of the constitutional amend-
ment to abolish boxing there, the
golden state might have got the
match. As it is, Americans, who
are chiefly interested, will probably
have to go a long distance to see the
fight. The agreement follows:

The report declares newsoapers

der the cent-a-pound-second-clars-
rate, totaled over a million pounds,
and increase of 2.94 per cent over
the preceding year, with a resultant
“drain on postal revenues” that "em-

some step in the direction of read-

“In my last annual report." Mr.
Purleson says, “the hope was ex-
pressed that Congress would amend
the existing laws and raise the rate
on second-class matter in accordance
with the recommendation of the
Commission created in 1911 under
a joint resolution of Congress to In
vestigate the subject, which found
the cost of handling and transporting
second-class matter, exclusive of cer-
tain expenditures concerning which
exact information was not at hand, to
be approximately 6 cents a pound,
and recommend that the postage rate
thereon be increased from 1 cent a
pound to 2 cents a pound. In order
to renew attention to the matter the
department in January last address

Congress before which the question
of proper rates of postage on second

Estelle Gray Company One of Best
in Redpath Lyceum Course
Category
on Thursday night the third
-number of the Elks’ attractions will
be delivered at the Grand Opera
House. This as well as all of the
other attractions furnished by the
Dedpath Lyceum Course, is of ex-
ceptional quality and its reception at
other points, is a guarantee of its
excellence.
Miss Estelle Franklin Gray, vio-
linist, supported by the talented pi-
anist. Miss Florence Crawford, will
be sure to please the most exacting
audience.
Miss Gray’s success has been in-
stantancous and universal. Although
still but a girl she has gained a rec-
tint of the highest rank in the great
tist of the highest rask lu the great
musical centers of the United States,
Canada and Europe.
Miss Gray gave her first violin re-
cital when ten years old, al which
time she played the Mendels sohn
Concerto. Even at that early age
the San Francisco critics recognized
her individuality.
From early childhood she has won j
a series of scholarships that have
I given her an opportunity to study
cinder the gr test masters of the
West, Now Yo rk and Europe.
1 Miss Gray plays with a warmth of
tone and a free dom of bowing that is
masculine in its breadth; and yet
with feminine charm. She is dis-
Linguished for her unconscious grac-
lousness of n anner and simplicity
as much as for her merit as an artist
The critics praise her dramatic in
terpretations of the masterpieces of !
violin literature and the spirit and
enthusiasm of her recitals.
Miss Crawford is a pianist of re-
markable ability. She rapidly won
favor in New York, where she stud-
led and played in concert, appearing
several times with the Philharmonic
Orchestra. She has been before the
public for many years and plays
with brilliancy and buoyant musical
feeling. She astonishes her audi
ences with her strength, endurance
and her marulation of difficult
and rapid passages Some of her
best performances are of Chopin, for
which she is especially adapted. Very
few young pianists have pleased so
universally a* has ATIss Crawford.
