AN UNCLE SAM WEEKLY. Mr. Hobson Would Have rt Break All Circulation Records. Representative R. P.

Hobson of Alabama has evolved a comprehensive plan which proposes to embark the government in the newspaper business. iwp has asked the house to pass a bill appropriating $75,000 as the initial expense for the publication of a weekly journal to be devoted to the executive departments. The journal would, according to his plan, publish everything of interest that happened in and about the various departments of the government Hobson proposed that the journal should break all records as far as circu lation is concerned. He would have the government issue 8.895,000 copies of it weekly. Each senator w-ould be allowed to distribute 25.000.

and members would have 15.000 each. The overworked frank would carry the journals to their destinations. Two of the four Progressive party newspapers in the Thirteenth congressional district have turned up their toes to the daisies since the close of the last week of the campaign. One of these as a weekly paper established at Laporte to push along the bull moose gospel. The editor and publisher finally gave up the ghost in an editorial in which he reproached the Laporte county Progresses for trying to force him to his paper on Much similar is the death of the Saturday Enquirer, the bull moose paper started in South Bend some months ago.

Editor J. II. Zulzer read the riot act in his last issue to the hull moosers of St. Joseph county for their failure to come across with the support necessary for the maintenance of the publication, lie announced the opinion that party enthusiasm wras not running very high wdien Progressives would let die the only Progressive organ in the principal county of the Thirteenth district. This is the fourth loss from the list of Progressive party papers in Indiana during the past few- months.

Rudolph Leeds, Progressive national committeeman for Indiana, sold his Indianapolis Sun, the state progressive organ, to an owner who made it independent and W. Dudley Foulke, of Richmond, one of the principal props and pillars of the party in the state, disposed of his Richmond Item to an owner who is running it as an independent publication. Nothing has been heard lately of the state bull moose paper it wras proposed to start at Indianapolis with George Stout, formerly political writer on the Star, as editor. Recent political developments in Indiana have not been calculated to encourage such a project. The bull moose state leaders at Indianapolis expected that following the showing made last fall for tile Progressive party in many counties of the state, Progressive papers would spring up in nearly every county seat to take up the fight of the party.

The Republican county papers have stood by their guns, however, and the new papers started have been petering out. There are not ten Progressive papers in the state at this time, and there are ten times that many publications of the Republican faith, including a number of the strongest daihr papers in the state. Further changes iii the parcel post system are under consideration. Some of them will be made by Postmaster-General Burleson, others will require congressional action. The steps the postmaster-general is considering are these: Removing the restriction of the weight limit on shipments below one hundred pounds.

Removing all restrictions of the weight limit on shipments delivered to or collected from the railway terminals by the consignor or consignee. Establishing a simple system of zones, namely, one hundred miles to each zone, the first (the local) zone to include a distance of one hundred miles. Establishing a rate of 20 per cent, above the cost of service, i. a rate 3, 4 or 5 cents for the first pound, plus half a cent for each additional pound in the first zone, and for subsequent zones an additional half cent a pound for each additional zone of one hundred miles; no charge to exceed 12 cents pound. Restoring the old fourth-class rates and establishing a supplementary parcel or express fourth class, admitting express matter generally with proper exceptions, to which the zone rates shall apply.

Reforming the packing regulations so that articles carried by express may be carried in containers necessary. Restating the insurance and C. O. D. rates to correspond wit Ii the quantitative values of shipments.

Taking the steps necessary before the interstate commerce commission to utilize the fast freight for less than one hundred pound shipments, thus extending the benefits of this relatively low priced sendee to farm and country store through rural delivery. Representative Lewis, of Maryland, the father of the present parcel post law, says the proposed changes, if put into effect, would reduce express rates by one half, and would out a stopped-up conduit through which products may flow direct from producer to consumer, giving the consumer the benefit of farm and factory prices, plus the mere cost of transportation, by merely ordering direct, and furnishing thus a com- petive determinant of market price levels for such products, approximating farm and factory prices, plus transportation The postoffice department is informed that the revised parcel post rates recently put into effect are being utilized by'consumers and producers, but the feeling is that the system can be made even more attractive.

Governor Ralston has prepared a proclamation, designating October 9, as the day on w'hich Indianians shall observe Fire Prevention day. The proclamation will be given to W.

E. Longlev, state fire marshal, for publication in Mr. weekly bulletins. Mr. Longley, some time ago, proclaimed October 9 as fire prevention day.

Governor proclamation points out why people should take greater precautions to eliminate fires and tells of the ravages of fire in the state in past For twro years the Governor of the state has issued a fire prevention proclamation at the request, of. civic organizations. The new state fire marshal took up the annual custom, and hereafter will call on the Governor to issue a proclamation, setting aside one day on which premises will je cleaned up, rubbish disposed of and the schools used as a vehicle for teaching children various places of lire prevention work. From May 15 to Sept. a season when heating stoves and furnaces are not in use, there have been in Indiana 178 fires and a resulting oss of $101,427, due to defective flues.

This fact, based on figures tabulated in the office of the state fire marshal, emphasizes the necessity of a thorough inspection of all flues, before stoves and furnaces are lighted the winter season. And, this inspection is one of the duties now being urged upon the people of Indiana as a part of Fire Prevention Day. this, as in other vital matters, w7e realize the necessity for action, but we are apt to delay and said Fire Marshal Longley. is merely a question of getting the thing done, thereby avoiding the more frequent and more numerous fires arising from Defective fines when the winter season sets in. Prevention Day sets a time when the citizens of the state may take proper measures for their safety.

It fixes a certain the time definite. When our people determine to do a thing, they do it. The time is chosen. All they need to do is to say do it will be Upon the showing that $100,000 was lost by fires from defective flues during three summer months, the yearly loss caused by defective flues would be half-a- million dollars. But it is likely that the loss would be nearer $500,000 than $400,000 each year.

Reports from fire marshals in other states that in the course of a year, the most frequent cause of fires is the defective flue. It causes more dwelling house fires than sparks from the chimney. Flues become defective, frequently, because the chimney is built in the house iii such a way that it must bear part of the weight. This causes the flue to crack when the house settles. Chimneys should be built from the ground up, and should never rest on wrood supports.

Bricks, blown down by the wind in the summer time, often result in defective flues. And where no inspection is made in the fall, the first knowledge of the accident comes to the householder wdien his home is in flames. An inspection on Fire Prevention Day would disclose such conditions, would reveal cracks where they exist and would permit repairs in time to prevent a future fire. This inspection should be made particularly in the attic, and care should be taken to see that no inflammable material is kept near the chimney. In addition to the loss in dollars and cents, there is another hazard always present in the burning of a home.

In Wisconsin, in one year 28 persons lost their lives in houses fired bv defective flues. WOULD PROTECT Indiana Fish and Game Commissioner Says Migratory Law Can Not be Enforced.
