ABOLISH BOTH OF THEM.
OENATOR DOYLE introduced a bill
J in the Legislature Thursday pro-
viding-for abolishing the Department
of Agriculture and transferring its
functions to the "Warehouse and Mar-
kets Department. The purpose in
view is to reduce the expenses of the
state without materilaly depreciating
the service rendered by the machin
ery. of thG. government.
Senator Doyle's suggestion
is
worthy one so far as it goes but it
doesn't go far enough. Before the
Markets and "Warehouse Department
was established the farmers of the
state apparently prospered about as
muoh. as they do now with its ser-
vices to aid thorn. The service per-
formed by the Department of Agri-
culture is duplicated by the A. & M.
college which is also state-supported.
Why have two state-supported agen-
cies performing duplicated service
and another department which isper-
forming a service that would scarcely
be onissed if it were suddenly discon-
tinued? Why not abolish both the
Department of Agriculture and the
Department of' Markets- and Warehous-
es and give to the agricultural work
at A. & M. college sufficient additional
support ' to enable it to take care of
all. the agricultural extension work
of the state? It would mean the sav-
ing of a good many thousands of dol-
lars to Texas tax-payers without im-
pairing the. service rendered by the
state to its producers. It would great-
ly reduce the number of political
plums available for distribution
among the faithful every two years
but the farmers and other tax -payors'
would probably be able to sustain
that loss with equanimity.
Contractors and others engaged in
construction or repair work in the
business section of the city would
confer a great favor upon the public
by minimizing the obstruction of
streets and- sidewalks with debris.

1 INTERNATIONAL POSTAL ACCOUNTS
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON Feb. 1G. Constant
arrival of letters from Russia Poland
Germany and Austria bearing numer-
ous postage stamps whose denomina-
tions aggregate large- sums has
aroused the curiosity of many Amer-
icans and brought requests for the in-
formation to officials of the Postofflce
Department.
Tho fact that so many1 'postage
stamps are used on these foreign let-
ters Is due to the depreciation of the
currency bf'the country of origin. Na-
tions which are members of the Uni-
versal Postal Union have agreed upon
a rate of 10. centimes gold for first
class letters weighing half an ounce
and In all these countries the foreign
letter rate is fixed at the equivalents
In the. actual currency of the country
to 10 gold contiraes. During and since
the war when the currencies of some
countries depreciated heavily these
countries increased their postage rate
correspondingly. In Germany for in-
stance the pre-war rate 'on foreign
letters was 20 pfennings. This has
increased until December 15 last it
was. SO marks or 8.Q00' pfennings.
There have been similar rate increas-
es in Austria and Russia.
The American Postofflce Depart-
ment has experienced no trouble as
a result of these rate Increases ex-

There Is no need forr a constant bal-
ancing of accounts between the. Amer-
ican and" foreign postal administra-
tions. Only in the matter of interna-
tional postal money orders and. pay-
ments for nfall in transit' are there
any transactions. In the handling of
foreign mail each country keeps the
postage it collects and pays for- the
transportation of the mails to a port
of entry lu the country of destination.
On mails sent from this country which
pass through another country enroute
to their destination the .United States
payn a transit or warehousing charge
ta the countries through whiclfsupli
mails pass. These charges are set-
tled every four years.

and the payment in this country of

Fees on orders issued totalled $17S-
811. It was necessary for the Post-
office Department to purchase last
year 511367370 in foreign exchange
to settle its balances with foreign
countries. Those purchases resulted
in. a gain of $229487 and a loss of
$67542 or a net gain of $191943' as a
