We ;ire Stat satisfied that the ruling of the post W ollicc departm.'ill will work to the ad- mill vantage of (lie publisher as well as oppt the suhscrilier. Ii will avoid gelling also behind, ami it is much easier (o pay a hi a small aiiuMiul on a subscription lo it u a paper than it is to pay for a num- in I her of years. exei Some of those who have not been ho 1 taken ofif will have to be taken otT P'? very soon unless they make s^ine arrnngemenls to make payment on their subscription. We trust that all of 'that them will do so and we desire that W(> ' they shall know that lire post ollico departmcnt requires compliance with ^ the rule. The rule does not i"ei|iiire Wat that subscriptions shall be paid in ad- ,"11' Viince, hut it does require that thev dele shall ti"i Ii,. permitted to run several years in arrears. i ' We have a '.treat deal of money due ' u> mi subseri pi iou ami' while the, amount is small lo each subscriber,! in the au'vreL'ale it would mean a v yreal deal to u>.

We noiice thai the (ireenwood (!eo .lournal slates IliaI the State lax levy they was increased two mill*. We would emv like to remind our contemporary thai and the increase was ?n11\ one mill. It is enough as it is. without making it ap- |{o?>: pear more. j)tjs file tax levy for the past ten years men for Stale purposes has averaged live of it mills. At the session of I!M>7 the levy j lion was reduced to four and oue-half I kept mills, hut that left a deficit of $7").- emv (Kit). I'll is year, instead of reducing pap'? I he appropriations, the same extrava- (tva ganl notions prevailed, and the appro- alnu print ion hill carries about $'J00.0()() -p] .more than it did in 1007. In view of n * ha I and of the deficit it was ireces- anv sary this year to make the levy live S(M'V and one-half mills. j. While it is (rue that 111?' levy has fore averaged live mills for ten years, i! and should be staled that the taxable pro- <' perly of the State has ine'vascd from fion $170.(100.(1(1(1 lo $'270,000,000, and if non< the appropriations had not increased or , in greater proportion j-f would have jrus been possible to make a levy of not ;n,r exceeding three and one-half mills, , In I act. a three mill levy this year ?p would raise as much money as a fivo p|n(, mill levy did ten years ago. >ub' One ol |lie rea-ons why the people (>j? , do mil return their properly at nearer its actual value as required by the* << coustitulioii, is lliat they have not ^ been able lo trust their legislature. A ^ history of legislation for lire pas! ten years will show that the increase in ! 0Ti( appropriations has been in greater * .j proportion than the increase in flio ( ^* value of taxable properly, and there- * f'U'e it has been impussilde to reduee the levy as taxable values increased. J1!1' If il had no| been for the extraordinary raise in taxable values of rail- ,n" road property last year tire deficit 11,1 would have been much greater. The nt>^ total increase in taxable values for I*>0 7 was about $17,000,000 of PARTY REORGANIZATION ]isl W'e would direct allenlion to the ,n ' call which has* been issued for the reorganization of the democratic Ult clubs.

Dl all Ihe trusts and eombiuas in restraint of | ratio there is ' more powerful, more arbitrary nore remorseless than the paper t. Fattening under the shell crinIIuenee of the Dinglev tariff hill, members have been able to build a compact organization which os the newspaper and periodical licalions and the paper consumers he country absolutely at their ey. Without the slightest justification he basis of compotilive cost, (hey [? increased the price of white palime and time again, until thoir >rtionale demands have become l-nigh prohilbitory.
