RURAL DELIVERY PAYS
Some Interesting Figures Made Public
in Statement by Post Office Officials,


The authorities of the post Office de-
partment make the statement that it's
receipts for the fiscal year ending Jure
81 will come within $1,000 of meet
ing the expenditures of the postal SER
vice. For years the postal deficit has
been one of the bugbears of the officials
at Washington and the news that this
Item has been so materially reduced is
indeed most gratifying.
The receipts of the department have
been regularly less than its expenses,
the excess for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1901, being s4,o0o,ooo. The
extension of the rural free delivery
system is the improvement that has
yielded the revenue that has been the
most important factor in reducing the
deficit to S1,000,0 00O-the smallest in
more than twenty years. The inaugur-
alton OF this system was most bitterly
opposed by many congressman, some
on the grounds that it would make
necessary much additional expense
without bringing in corresponding re.
turns, while others made their OBJ
]ections on the less worthy grounds
that 1t would lose to them much of the
political patronage by the removal of
MANY OF the fourth class post offices.
The rural free delivery is proving to
be one of the greatest educational
agencies In the United States. The
farmers and their families do more
letter writing than formerly and the
circulation of newspapers in these dis
tricts has increased to an amazing rate.
The residents of the country homes
now do more reading and in this way
Keep better posted and in closer touch
with the outside world than ever be-
fore. 1t Is the means whereby the in
telllgence of the citizens of this coun.
try will be rapidly advanced.

Cision of the executive board provides
for calling a strike at any time within
forty-eight hours. The determination
Is that there shall be no delay after that

of the roads sent their scale TO the office
Of President Curran, but the others
