BAD FOR THE r. f. D.

Washington, Sept. 81 am afraid

bad effect on the rural free deliv-

state inspectors who is now in Wash

On the part OF department officials 10
scrutinize details in a way that is
unhealthful They seem bent on cut
ting off such routes as prove unre-

practice few routes once established

suits tHat VII make more trouble
-nan their continuance would have
cost. When We so into a locality
and establish route we assume GER
tain obligations to stay there; we
ask the people to bug letter boxes.
and much Of their hesitation in doing
so has resulted from a fear that the
service would not be permanent.
"The department seems to think
that a route which is distributing
less than 5000 pieces a month is in
bad way. and OF course it is from
the point of view Of profits. We
have routes that are not distributing
more than thousands pieces a
month. How much this yields to the
postal revenues may be roughly COM
puted. Newspapers. the bulk of the
postal business, pay one cent a
pound. unless they are the country
weeklies. which go free. OF the
smalI-sized newspapers Of the back
districts, it takes a great many to
weigh a pound. Letters pay two
cents, and, Of course, parcels Of mer-
chandise still more, but | feel sure
that the average receipt in my state
is cons lerabIy under one cent for
each piece. A fivethOusand piece

sary TO pay the rural carriers salary
