Business Firms
Dodge Postage Tax
Reports Indicate
Washington, Oct 8.—American
ingenuity has been applied to the
business of dodging Uncle Sam’s
new postal rates, with the result
that returns from three-cent and
other postage are proving disap-
pointingly small.
Although congress expected to
raise $160,000,000 a year by the
new postal taxation, it now ap-
pears doubtful whether the total
will exceed $100,000,000.
The effort to dodge the one-cent
tax on each letter through, increas-
ed postage has been so pronounced
that the government has been for-
ced to exercise vigilance to main-
tain its mail monopoly.
Business firms, hard-pressed to
make both ends meet, found the
additional postage a considerable
burden, especially in sending out
monthly bills or circulars.
Some business houses began to
send out their bills on postcards.
The postoffice department had
previously ruled that a business
firm can not use postal cards to
“dun” customers, hoping that they
would be shamed into paying.
It was decided after cqreful re-
search, however, that current bills
could be sent in this manner.
Public utility firms and other
business houses began to send out
their monthly bills by messenger.
The question arose whether or not
they were infringing upon the gov-
ernment’s mail monopoly.
The department ruled that if the
employes were regularly paid, the
bills could be transmitted in this
manner. But if special messengers
were hired this would constitute
establishment of a competing mail
service.
Another question was whether
the letters could be placed in the
mail boxes in apartment houses.
It was held that this could be done
if the boxes were privately owned.
But if not they belonged to the
government
In some tourist centers signs
have appeared reading “send post-
cards, postage one cent.”
Reports have reached the depart-
ment of efforts to establish special
messenger service, through which
merchants could send their letters,
bills and circulars to customers at
less expense than by using three-
cent postage.
Scores of minor differences have
arisen between the postal depart-
ment and the telegraph companies,
which maintain messenger ser-
vices.
All of these difficulties are so
pronounced that postal authorities
generally are convinced that the
three-cent postage law must be re-
pealed.

Less Than 1J>00
Bales of Cotton
Up to October 1
Less than fifteen hundred bales
of cotton had been ginned in Erath
county prior to the first day of
October, 1982, according to infor-
mation given out bv Jas. Pittman,
government statistician, the past
week. At the same period in 1981
3828 bales had been ginned.
The season is about four weeks
later this vear than last and it Is
believed this will account for the
big difference in ginnlngs up to
date.
During the past week all local
gins have been running almost all
boure of the dav. with tbe reeult
that several hundred bales have
been turned out.

GOVERNMENT COMPETITION WITH
PRIVATE BUSINESS MAY BECOME
NEW ISSUE BEFORE CONGRESS
Washington, Oct. 8.—Government
competition with private industries
today appeared likely to be a do-
minant issue at the forthcoming
session of congress.
A special house committee, head,
ed by Representative Joseph B.
Shannon (Dem.) of Missouri, short-
ly will prepare recommendations
for legislation designed to take the
government out of many lines of
business.
This committee has held hear-
ings in the Middle West and here,
gathering testimony from repre-
sentatives of private industries,
who claim the government is tak-
ing business from them and mak-
ing them less able to pay taxes.
Uncle Sam Active
While business leaders may
clamor for wholesale evacuation of
Uncle Sam from a myriad of man-
ufacturing enterprises, including
clothing for the army, ships for
the navy, printing, medical treat-
ment, engineering and other ser-
vices, a major fight against cur-
tailing government operations was
assured.
Groups that benefit bv the gov-
ernment in business will put up a
determined battle against anv cur-
tailment. Their argument la that If
the government did not manufac-
ture things for its own use, it would
have to pay high prices for them
and taxes In the end would be
higher.
The National Association of Man-
ufacturers, a leader in the contest
to get the government out of pri-
vate business channels, contends
that the government is hurting
many industrial lines so they are
unable to pay taxes.
Aiding in Fight
Joining in the fight on the side
of the manufacturers’ association
are fertilizer interests, which do
not want the government to oper-
ate Muscle Shoals, and railroad or-
ganizations, which want the barge
service of the Inland Waterways
corporation discontinued Msj. Gen.
T Q. Ashburn. head of the corpora-
tion, testified before the Shannon
committee that river transporta-
tion had virtually ceased about fif-
teen yeaik ago. thw*h congress
'‘•infinned to spend millions of dol-
lars in Improving river channels.
The Intend Waterway* corpora-
tion was formed as a governmental
experiment to see whether river
transportation could be revived.
4nd he testified the corporation’s
barwn service for the lower Missis-
sippi river—from St .T.oul* to New
Orleans and on the Warrior river,
had become a success.
