BF has been repealed and the old rate in existence prior to October I, 1917, went into effect Tuesday throughout the United States, rhis reduction in the rates will mean a saving of millions of dollars to the American public each pear. Without second thought, the sum of one cent seems a trifle, but when it is remembered that upwards of 100.000 000 people are served uaiiy by Uncle Sam's mail men, it is easily seen what will be saved by the lower rates now in effect. A paragraph from the government to the postmasters of the country relative to the redemp;ion of outstanding three cent {tamps and envelopes and two !ent postal cards reads: "Postnasters shall redeem from the Dublic all unused ami undamaged ;wo cent cards and three cent .tamped envelopes printed or un- i jointed, at full value, provided; hey are convinced that such :ards and envelopes are presentid by the original purchasers."

The ssue is a State bank law passed it the last session of the North Dakota legislature, and now he*ore the people on a referendum ;o be decided June 2b. In brief, ;he. law is the same as that .vnien Mr. MCL.aurin advocated a> strongly throughout South Carolina. It proposes that the State take over a large part of he banking business, especially hat part of it which relates to "arm loans under a system that ;ontcmplates that the payment )f 7 per cent, interest on a debt "or 30 years will pay the debt, h'er instance, 7 per cent., a year >n $5,000 every year for 30 years .vill furnish a reasonable interest harge. and along with in sufli ient sinking fund to cancel the irir.cipal. The opponents of the lew law, it appears from the Mortii Dakota papers, are trying ;o net tht.? attorney general to noet McLaurin on the stump, >ut so far the attorney general ias"hot signified his willingness :o accept. Mr. McLaurin prelicts that the people of North Dakota are going to sustain the winking law by a majority of lhout two-thirds. -The Enquirer For Final Discharge.
