A. BIG POSTAL DEFICIT.
The Rapid Increase in Rural
Route the Cause.

stfS ~S~S~
Washington, June Sit is esti-
mated that the postofflce deficit for
the fiscal year will be in excess Of 10
million dollars. The largest deficit
In any year heretofore was In 1895,
when the expenditures we're 10 mill
Ion dollars In excess OF receipts. The
cause Of the record breaking deficit
this year is not far to seek.
The insistent demands OF congress.
men for free rural extensions has
brought the expenses Of the rural ser
vice to % million dollars. In 1900
there were 1000 free rural carriers
and the expense Of the service was
100000.
In 1904 the number OF carriers had
been increased to "a, $50 and the
cost OF the service had grown to more
than II million dollars. This year
there are in round number $4,000
carriers and the cost OF the service is
now more than 90 million dollars an.
nually.
1t is not believed there will be any
, difficulty inducing Congress to sup.
ply any deficit for rural free delivery,
A great difficulty is In keeping the
free rural extensions within bounds.
Every country district which Is not
supplied Is clamoring for rural mail
routes, and the policy OF the depart.
ment Is to complete county routes
throughout the United States SO that
each populous county will have the
mail delivered to every farmhouse
within It's area. The figures show a
steadily increasing revenue from
rural routes indicating that in time
