has been repealed and the old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."
Mo cash will be paid to purchasers,
but two cent stamped envelopes
and one cent cards will
?e exchanged pro rata for three
:ent envelopes and two cent
rards.
McLaurin Sees Hot Political Fight.
Hon. John L. McLaurin writes
n a private letter from Minot,
Morth Dakota, that be is in the
lottest poetical fight be has ever
lad anything to do with. 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
