Rural Free Delivery.

Says the President in his mes
sage: Rural free delivery SER
vice is no longer in the expert,
mental stage; it has become a
fixed policy. The results follow
ing its introduction have fully
justified the congress in the large
appropriations made for it's estab-
lishment and extension. The
average yearly increase in post
office receipts in the rural districts
of the country is about Q per cent.
We are now able, by actual re-
suits, to show that where rural
free delivery service has been es.
tablished to such an extent as to
enable us to make comparisons
the yearly increase has been up
ward Of 10 per cent.
On November 1, 1902, 1850
rural free delivery routes had
been established and were in oper-
alton, covering about one-third of
the territory of the United States
available for rural free delivery
service. There arc now awaiting
the action of the department petit
tions and applications for the es-
tablishmsn ant OF 10,74S additional
routes. This shows conclusively
the want which the establishment
of the service has met and the
need of further extending it as
rapidly as possible. 1t is iusti.
fed both by the financial results
and by the practical benefits to-
our rural population; it brings
the men who live on the soil into
close relations with the active
business world; it keeps the far
mer in daily touch with the mar
kets; it is q potential educational
force; it enhances the value of
farm property, makes farm life
far pleasanter and less isolated,
and will do much to check the un-
desirable current from country to
city.
1t is to be hoped that the con-
gress will make liberal appropria.
tlons for the continuance of the
service already established and
for it's further extension.
