F, 0. REVENUE BURDEN LIFTED BY NEW PLAN Overhead Cut by Deletion of Various Class Charges. R't ScrivTM-flovrirti. Jf fir twiner Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The postoffice department is to have an accounting system under which free service and public welfare expenses will not be computed agAnst postal revenue, but will be paid from the United States treasury’. Plans for installation now are being completed by Postmaster General Walter Brown and it is expected the program will be in operation before the beginning of the next fiscal year. Representative • Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania, who conferred with Brown on the subject, said he believes no congressional authority W’ill be needed to make the change. For years, Kelly has advocated installation of a system under which the postoffice department shall not be charged with expenses incurred in handling free service mails for government subsidies designed to promote commercial aviation and greater development of the American merchant marine. His bill directing postmaster general to install such a system now is pending in the house, but Kelly today said that it wdll not be necessary to pass the legislation to install the new accounting systemThe system provides that amounts expended for the following purposes shall not be computed as a charge against postal revenues: iree-to-the-blind matter, free in county second-class matter; amount of loss due to preferential rates on religious matter; amount of loss due to added carriage of foreign mail by vessels of American register: amount of loss chargeable to public-welfare purpose of the rural free delivery service and losses sustained by use of the government franking privilege. The apparent deficit of the postofiice department for the fiscal year 1928 was $33,000,000 while in the fiscal year just ended the losses had grown to $95,000,000, including some $42,000,000 of retroactive railway service settlements.

DEMOCRACY IS RIDICULED BY BERNARD SHAW % Compared to ‘Balloon Filled With Hot Air’; Urges Socialism. By Timm Special LONDON, Oct. 15.—The democratic form of government is comparable to “a big balloon filled 'frith gas or hot air, released so that you can look up at the sky while others pick your pocketbooks,” George Bernard Shaw said in a radio broadcast from Plymouth, Monday night. It was Shaw’s first broadcast on any subject. He began his talk on “Democracy” by addressing his audience as “Your majesties, your royal highness, your excellencies, your graces, your reverences, lords, ladies, gentlemen and fellow citizens.” “Democracy Is Unsuitable” Then sailing into “some hard facts about democracy,” he proceeded to argue that government for the people, by the people, and of the people was a form of government completely unsuitable to modem civilization. “Government by the people,” said Shaw, “can not and n&’er wdll be a reality. I am too polite to call the Democrats a wind bag or a hot air merchant. I consider it a big balloon filled with gas or hot air released so that you look up at the sky while others pick your pocketbooks. The balloon comes down every five years. As opposed to democracy, Shaw strongly urged socialism. “When Baldwin tried to win the last elrx:tion by declaring socialism had failed wherever it was tried, socialism overrode him like a steam roller and the result was a Socialist premier.

zation. Our present parliamentary system no more can do the work of the modern state than Caesar's galleys can do the work of the modern engine.” In conclusion, Shaw emphatically called attention to the Soviet experiment in government and praised especially the attention and energy which the Soviet regime devoted to the care and education of the youth. “We must rear our children,” Shaw said, "to be better citizens than ourselves. Only Russia is doing that. That’s my last word. Go home and think it over.” Gas Victim Gaining PM Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 15.—Floyd Boan, 16, is slowly recovering after being overcome by monoxide gas from a water heater in the bathroom of his home.
