country paid the railroads s4I,sT5.-
SIS for carrying the express. while the
government paid during the sane
year s44,5OS,7Ss-42 for carrying the
mails, although the total weight OF the
express carried was several times as
great as that Of the mails. In the
case OF the express companies the
railroads furnished the express cars
free while the government has to pay
extra for the cars in which the mail
is carried, which extra charge in some
cases amounts TO more than the cost
OF the car each year.
We believe that the railroads could
afford to carry the mails OF the cOun-
try for one-half the sum the govern
ment pays them at present and then
do fully as well as they do in the
hauling Of other kinds OF express and
freight
A few weeks ago a Chicago man
made a proposition to the government
that he would agree 70 carry the mails
OF the country for a great deal less
than it costs the government to have
them carried and distributed and pay
the government a percentage Of profit
on the business The government Of
course viii not turn the handling and
distribution Of the mails over 70 any
private corporation or individual. The
people generally would rather have
the mails carried at a loss than to do
that, but this individual proposed fur
ther to reduce the postage rate from
to 1 cent on ordinary letters II
he could do that and make hand
some profit on the business It is evil
dent that the government IS paying
too much for having the mails car
ried and distributed The pay Of
mail clerks on the trains IS not toe
high, neither is the pay Of the en-
plOyes in the pOstOfhces OF the country
but there is a deficit OF several mil
lion dollars every year in the post

the government is paying the railroad
companies about twice as much foI
carrying the mails as ought to be paid.
