Running His Department on BUSH
ness Principles.

That the Post Office department is being
conducted upon business principles Is shown
In the contracts made. The third assistant
postmaster general estimates the saving that
VIII be effected under the new contract for
postal cards, for the four years Of this admins.
uation, at one million dollars, as compared
with the expenditure for the same material
under the late administration. In a contract
just entered into for envelopes for one year
from April 1st, the department saves over
$4,000 over last year. The contract for last
year was at s10e, s1OS3; while for this year a
contraco to supply the department. including
the natural increase, has been entered into a.
the sum OF $54.124 81. The Cuisines prtnci-
pies" OF Postmaster General James work
wonderfully well in his department. Already
useless and worthless star routes which cost
three quarters of million dollars annually
have been cut of, and this saying. taken In
connection with that effected by making con-
tracts for the best interest OF the government
warrants the opinion hitherto expressed by Mr..
James that the department can be made
self-sustaining. This country ought to be
afforded every facility for the rapid aud certain
distribution of malls; that is what the people
want. Every vote upon postal affairs by Con-
gress shows that the representatives under
stood the sentiment OF the people that they
would not be deprived of any postal or mail
facilities for the purpose of saving money.
They had rather pay the expenses of costly
department than to wait for their mails. This
feeling has been made use of to sustain ex-
travagance and wastefulness. I5 was upon the
plea that the people must not be deprived of
the mails that the star route ring fiourished.
MI. James Is. evidently. applying only the rules
OF common sense and business economy In the
management of the department. and he will
q fo6 hxyf no
contract for envelopes supplies the wants of
his department, and with as good material as
that which cost the people nearly twice as
much last year. Aside from the star route
matter the department seems to have been
loosely and recklessly conducted In the past.
