"Most people who spend $25 year
for chr fare consider that they are con-
tributing literally toward the dividends

clerk. "but Uncle Sam spends nearly
$250.000 year for the transportation
of carriers In street cars in the different
free delivery cities.
"For instance, including substitutes,
there are 275 carriers In Washington.
You may have observed that carriers,
when riding on the surface roads, do
not pay fares either with tickets or in
cash. The free delivery system allots

nual allowance of $4,000 to be used ex-

transport all carriers while on duty fol

rier must have his pouch with him
which is sign manual to the conduct
or that he is on duty, the mere wear
ing of his uniform being insufficient
"This rule obtains in some cities
while in others special tickets are sold
at special rates to be used only by car
riers, or the cash is handed direct to
the carrier for Il certain number OF
daily trips, depending upon the prac-
tlce. Thus, while Washington receives
$1,000, Chicago gets $4,000 for letter
carriers ear fare because OF Its large
territorial extent and distance between
cessitating a double fare by the car
rier. Boston is allowed $13,500 and
New York and Philadelphia about $780,

government expends such a large sum
yearly for such trivial cause."--
