ize postal telegraph systems operated
by the pOstofice department.
Senator Rayner, Maryland has eX-
pressed this opinion: "Of all the mo-
nopolies ] submit that the telegraph
system Of this country, substantially
owned and controlled by one man, is
the worst and most dangerous of them
all. 1t is no longer safe or expedient
to entrust into the hands of one over
towering monopoly the telegraph
business Of this country. 1t is a
power that not only can be used, but
has been perverted for purposes hos
tile TO the best interests of the peo-
pie The markets Of the country it's
finances. and is commercial interests
to so large an extent depend upon the
honest and honorable administration
Of The business Of this country thai
She people are not in a mood to re
pose a trust Of this character any
longer without competition in the
hands of a stock jobbing corporation.
Would Wipe Out Deficit.
Congressman smith Of Michigan
says: We provide for carrying the
mails by the swiftest known method
steam, electric railways and pneumat-
fc tubes Why deny the right to the
use of the telegraph? We carry the
mails at a loss. Why not use the
telegraph not only as a convenience
aud blessing to all our people but in
order to help wipe out the annual
postal deficit? Who doubts that the
telegraph is an essential part of an
efficient postal service?'
Government ownership would re-
duce rates One-half Australia has
government owned telegraph systems
and the distances are even greater
than those of this country. Yet the
Australian rates are much less than
those of the United States,
Here are the Australian rates: For
town and suburban messages, the rate
fixed is ~ cents for a message not ex-
ceeding Is words Messages to any
point within the same state f,om
which they are sent the charge is
fixed at Is cents for 16 words For
1G-word messages to any other states
within the common wealth the charge
is "A cents.
The lowest rate in the United
States, from Washington, D. c., to
Birmingham, Ala, is so cents. The
Australian rate for a similar message
the same distance is % cents. The
lowest rate to Prescott Ariz., is 81;
i'm Australia the same message would
cost 30 cents The rate to San Fran
cisco is 81: in Australia it would be
30 cents
The constitutional right to establish
a postal telegraph system is unques-
toned The only question is Wheth-
or the influence of the private trust is
strong enough to override the inter
ests of the people. Just as soon as
the people want a government tele-
graph and telephone system they viii
have it.
