MILLIONS FOR NAILS
POST OFFICE APPROPRIATIONS
ARE CONSTANTLY GROWING.
Enormous Expenditures Necessary
That the Service Be Kept Up to
the Requirements Of the
Present Day.

When Senator Penr0Se, chairman Ol
the senate committee on post ofnces
and post roads, predicted that the
post Office appropriation bill would
in time-the senatorial life OF men
then in the senate, he put it-reach
the enormous proportions Of $500, ,OOO.-
900 year, he startled some of those
who heard him, while others did not
take him seriously. When the Unit
ed States government was 100 years
old, when it entered upon its second
century Of Its present existence. when
the Ffty-hrst congress appropriated
$500, 100000 year for the expenses
Of the government, there was q pro-
longed cry about the Billion Dollar
Congress" Now Senator Penrose pre-
diets that the post Office department
will cost q billion dollars every two
years, just what the total expense OF
the government was less than 20
years ago. The present appropriation
bill Of nearly $20O.0O0,000 no doubt
encourages the belief that the appro-
pr1ations are to be rapidly Increased
within the next few years. Already
it it predicted that the rural free de-
livery service will cost $50.000,000 .
year, and, OF course. other services
will increase in proportion. The
prophecy OF Penrose might also be
realized II the movement for q tele-
graph system owned and operated by
the government should be adopted.

slow, but 1t may come. We own ca
BILE to Alaska, and are going to own
anotheI to Panama, Cuba and Porto
Rico. II we own sea telegraphs why
not land telegraphs, which are sp
much more useful? II we should
adopt such a system we would find 1t
very expensive at first, the building
Of the lines and installation Of the
service. but those who have looked
into the matter are convinced that 1t
will be self-sustainfng and that the
people will get q service which will
be less expensive than what is now
paid by the people to the telegraph
Then there is the parcels
post proposition, meaning that the
government shall carry small pack
ages by mail at q very small cost.
That would mean another additional
expense to be added to the post office |
bill. The prophetic soul
Of Penrose may have seen the future
better than we can guess when he
predicted half-billion dollar post Office
bills. There are certainly possibili-
ties. and the country is growing. Be

that It ought not to be penurious, and
