Lack OF Mail rac,li,ies in the West.

Denver Evening world.
In the debate in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday ON the Postal Appropriation
bill, Mr.. Anderson, OF Kansas, and Mr.. Reagan,
Of Texas, each made some very pertinent re-
marks. AS representatives Of this great sec.
tion, each knew that postal facilities were In.
adequate, and they properly objected TO the re-
duction Of postage or the reduction OF appro-
priations until we are accorded the same rela
tive faciHies as the New England and
Middle states. 1t is no excuse to say
the Postmaster-General cannot contract
with the lines from Chicago West
for a fast service. He can do 80 If he pays the
price, and he should do so. There is also an
Opportunity for increasing the mail facilities
I'm the cities and towns OF this section until
they are n benefit, as they are intended TO be,
Instead OF nuisance. Take any city OF
10000 people in New England State, and
Denver is forced to have to-day, and the entire
community would swoop down on Washington
and Insist on an immediate improvement, and,
what is more, get 1t. The postal service was
organized and is conducted for the accommo.
dation OF the people, and all talk about a
reduction until one section has the same
rights and benefits as the other Is an outrage.
1t is to be hoped that no representatives OF the
States or Territories west of the Mississippi
will vote for any measure looking TO the pro-
posed reduction, but, instead, that they Will
Invite and insist on an amendment for the ap-
pointment OF a committee or commission to
examine and report upon tho wretched service
now imposed on people under the so-called
rule of economy.
