There is rcandal over the contracts
recently made by the postoflice depart
ment granting to IA firms a monopoly
in making all the rural free delivery
boxes 10 be used in the country
1t is estimated that / 100000 free de-
livery boxes will be put in place during
the present year. AT profit Of only %
cents on box. which is low estimate,
the manufacturers will reach net
profit Of $4,000.
II the government we're buying and
paying for these rural delivery boxes IT
would have right TO say good deal
about them and to select the manufac
turers. This IL does with the mail boxes
stationed for public use in the cities and
towns. But along the rural delivery
routes each farmer lie obliged TO buy and
pay for his own box, and he cannot re-
ceive any mail until he has done so.
In all fairness il would seem in this
instance that the government had only
the right to determine the kind Of box
that shall be used. II has the right to
specify the kind OF material, the general
shape, how it shall be put up, ETC., and
after II has done these thingsft should
stop. Any patron along rural mail
route should be permitted, as long as he
pays for the luxury, to make his own
box or to buy it where he pleases, so
long as he complies with the govern.
ment's general requirements.
There is absolutely no justification for
the monopoly Of boxmakers, when there
are thousands Of firms and individuals
will 10 make boxes which will en-:
tirely fulfill the government require.
ments.
The question will undoubtedly come
up for congressional action at the next
session.
