Latest to attempt to give the city adequate taxi service is Andrew Befqrt, well known Hays citizen who has participated in various local business ventures.

He has acquired new equipment and from patron reports we gather the service is up to par in every respect, It might be observed the city's newest cab enterprise started almost in step with the inclement weather which has had us mostly snowbound for a prolonged period of time. Chances are the taxi company has operated at a loss for the past several weeks. The question of fares has arisen. It is learned the new company has been exceeding the minimum 40? city fare, established by ordinance, by 100. A story elsewhere in today's News explains the situation.

Everything may not be proceeding exactly accoi-ding to Hoyle, but it is well to remember that Are now have day and night taxi service which the city badly needs. JVVith lesser fares it is quite possible, even likely, Mr. Befort would not be able to keep the taxis running. In'view of the inconvenience of not having the service it would seem within bounds to forgive the operator for any alleged rate transgressions, and at the first opportunity to revise the city ordinance making it possible for cabs to operate profitably, on a rate schedule to be submitted by the operator, artd thereby maintain the service for the convenience of those who otherwise have no means of.transportation. -o The Story Wears Thin We very much doubt if any of us will live to see.

the day when the Post Office Department will be self sustaining. The Postmaster General consistently plugs for higher rates to reduce the perpetual deficit. Over the past several years the de- toartment has spent millions of dollars building automated postoffices that are to make possible a considerable pavings in those particular installations. It remains-to be seen how this item will finally pay out. Apparently there is nothing in sight to pare thejdepartment's needs.

In the last budget Sum- inerfield asked for $5 billion to keep the mails going. When the appropriation bomm'ittee talked of knocking off $82 went into a tan- and threatened to curtail mail service: -It is noteworthy the postal appropriation is designed to permit the service to' add 12,000 employees at an annual cost of an million dollars. Somewhere along the line between auto- cut manpower needs, appropriations to save and department cries to make the service somewhere near semi- sustaining; the taxpayer and postal patron is entitled to wonder what gives. It is-historically factual that whenever Mr. Summerfield has.been given rate boosts they have been consistently nullified through additional personnel costs.

And it is likewise true that Congress, when flouting appropriation economies has "magnificently managed to set an exceptionally poor example. In the last election the body mailed out nearly 55 million pieces of congressional franked mail, stuff the trains and planes must carry and the postman deliver. This year the free mailers promise to outdo all past performances. There is the possibility a bill may be passed permitting the solons to frank mail addressed only to the "boxholder" or "occupant." This will enable thttn. 16, fet mil ft lot more junk to run lip thlteste bf the partment which the GetteTat and the Congress Vocally profess to watlt to make self, sustaining by some magic of continuously nmniflgJLi'p ine costs find spending more niottey.

The Ptetafe Ever Changeth History grinds inexorably, but the picture sh'e paints is a puzzle. Less than thirty years ago Roosevelt was roundly condemned as an irresponsible liberal by a goodly segment of the populace because his administration was 10 billion a year. President Eisenhower" is labeled a tightwad for submitting a budget of less than ninety billions, Less than 20 years ago, locked in a titanic struggle for survival, China and Russia were out 4 good friends while talk persisted we should annihilate to a man many and Japan, and prostrate Italy. Today the latter are allies while Russia and China are sinister potential mies. Less than 15' years ago we embark' ed upon a program to buy friends with dollars, today we fervently hope the dollars will at best buy neutrality.

Less than five years ago the eggheads complained we were squeezing other countries out of foreign markets which would ultimately force them into bankruptcy. Today we are fighting a -grim economic struggle just-to keep our foot in markets, Only yesterday the American domestic market suddenly became a bonanza, at the expense of American industry and labor, for foreign factories. What does the morrow hold? The Rooks County Record notes that most car owners learned many years ago there is never anything wrong with a car that money won't fix. The Air Force says "higher ups" kept a missile from being fired a full 9,000 miles. It is at least comforting to know the trouble is no longer in the second stage rocket.

John Anderson says education in Kansas has become a political football. We wonder why he had to put in Other Editors Say Fish-Game Squabble The members of the Kansas Fish and Game Commission are feuding among themselves. Indications are that the main issue is whether to keep or fire director Dave Leahy. The significant thing about all this, however, is not the feud itself or the matter of whether to retain Leahy. What is most important is the fact that the entire Kansas forestry, fish and game program is likely to suffer tremendously during the squabbling.

There are many projects which should be pushed harder at the present time, perhaps should even be underway already. But the longer this petty bickering continues, the slighter the chances for important gains from the standpoint of recreation and conservation in Kansas. -The state is far behind most of its neighbors in the matter of fish, game and recreation facilities. What it needs desperately at this point is an imaginative, aggressive and united Fish and Game Commission to- progress and improvement, rather than a group that spends too much time in personal conflict. It would appear it is Gov.

George Docking's responsibility to take charge here and get this matter straightened out. A good Fish and Game Commission is vital to the state and if the Commission isn't doing the best possible job, with the future in mine 1 then it is time for leadership to alter, an undesirable Journal World.

Conscience fund is the informal name given to an IRS account which receives contributions from taxpayers who have cheated Uncle Sam and want to settle their debt without revealing their identity- The funds collects about a year.

Recent payments have ranged from 10 cents to $2,000. One man wrote that he couldn't sleep because of his tax evasion and was sending in $300.

When agents called on him, he reported that he came to the United States, as an immigrant, built up a'p'rbsperous' business and felt the country had been so good to him that he ought to make a contribution just in case' he' had once made an unwitting error in his taxes. Agents Went over his books and found that Uncle Sam owed the man $11,000.

So he got a treasury check for $16,000, which included the return of his anonymous payment. Officials said no effort is made to trace most contributions.

Would you like to have a clearer head and more push to get things done? What you need is Librium, a new "happy pill" described at a University of Southern California symposium attended Thursday by 400 physicians and specialists in internal medicine. The drug, which has just come on the market, has been used by more than 2,000 doctors on 20,000 patients in the United States since its discovery a year ago.

Dr. S. P. Wise, assistant clinical professor 'of medicine at Baylor University, Houston, told the symposium the drug the pain of angina pectoris and prevents epileptic seizures. Dr.

Wise said it also keeps patients from getting angry during their day's work, improves their judgment and clear thinking and adds to their drive to get more work done. Chemical name for the drug is methaminodiazepoxide. It can be obtained only on a doctor's prescription. Only ill effects noted so far are a temporary drowsiness and mild muscular incoordination, the physician said.
