WasfltA ston, Dec. 2--In his annual re-.
port tor the fiscal year ended June 80, 1908.
Postmaster General Meyer gives the total
receipts tor the year as s20S, 351, SS6, thereby
showing a deficit of SIG, SIS. 222, the largest
in the history of the department., with an
additional loss from fire, burglary, etc, Of
S7 ,056, The deficit of 1905, it is estimated.
fagaiu viii exceed SIG, GNp, 900.
Attention is particularly called to a num-
Der OF Improvement in business methods
of the department as tending to it's adj
vantage and the saving of considerable
amounts. Recommendation is again made
for the creation of the position of director,
of posts. at a high salary, and who shall
hold office during good behavior, the OBJ
ject being TO have a continuity Of policies
for the benefit of the postal system and
The people of the United States.
The necessity for good roads is pointed
out iu connection with the development Of
the rural free delivery service. 1t is sug-
gested that should ngress grant the de-
partment authority to utilize rural routes
still further by the establishment of a
limited parcels post confined entirely to
rural delivery routes 1t would then be
possible to earn additional revenue
amounting to millions of dollars and at the
same time benefit the farmer by enabling
him to have merchandise delivered when
ordered by telephone or postal card, which
otherwise would not be purchased. The
special parcel post" says the postmaster
general. will enable the farmers to have
small parcels delivered at their gates, to
live better and to obtain easily the neces-
saries OF life" Permission is requested to
establish experimentalty a limited parcel
post in not to exceed four counties in or
der to demonstrate the practicability of
the plan.
The postmaster general again urges leg
islation permitting the establishment Of
postal savings banks or repositories in
connection with poStofiiceS.
EXperiInentS with stamp vending ma
chimes, says the postmaster general, are
still being conducted, with every prospect
that the defects which developed in the
preliminary tests will be overcome. These
machines. it is expected by the depart
rnent, wilt add ilnmeasurably to the pub
tic convenience.
While faVoring an increase in pay of the
supervisory employees in post offices, the
postmaster general says he has not esti-
mated tor additional promotions for the
canning year because Of the great increase
IN the deficit.
Figures relating to the railway mail SER
vice show a decrease of Is in the number
OF railway postal clerks killed and of q
injured. as compared with the fiscal year
1907. In 1908 there were four clerks and
two substitutes killed and lH seriously and
a3s slightly injured.

New York, Dec. THAT a man with
vast wealth has grave roubl of his
own in the serious difficulty of devising
ways to get rid of the money, is the
view of John d. Rockefeller. He finds
there is a limit to what one can spend on

he sees little but harm to the recipient
in giving away money to those who

auctions is that a rich man is doomed
to keep in his W name practically ali
