POSTMASTER CO.OPERATES
IN GIVING INFORMATION
Continued from First Page

your teachers access to the Postal
Guide and the Postal Laws and
Regulations and render you every
assistance in securing the necessary
information.
while the postofice department
is more closely allied with the in
terests and everyday life of the
masses of the people than any other
branch of the general government,
than any one other business in the
various communities, there is
greater lack of information upon
postal affairs than almost any other
subject. Though a monthly and
annual official guide is furnished by
the department to it's army of en-
ployes, and applicable largely to
them only, probably not one person
in thousand outside the mail SER
vice sees a copy of either once a
year.
There are many things the
public should know about postal
affairs, and have no means of learn
ing except by inquiring of their
postmaster, whose answers must
frequently be hurriedly given, per-
haps unsatisfactory even to himself,
and the information thus obtained
is liable to be forgotten, confused
or misconstrued the next time
needed.
TO remedy this evil, by attempt
ing to answer in concise form, the
questions most frequently asked at
postoffice windows, also to materially
assist you in the instructions called
for by the department, have pre-
pared the following for your infor-
nation and guidance:
Il. Delivery of Mail Natter
This subject is thoroughly covered
by Sec. 633 to Sec. 658 P. L. and
R. of 1902.
q. Classification of Mail Matter.
"A phamphlet of general postofice
information has been issued for free
distribution to the public through
postmasters. 1t contains the CLASH
6cation, conditions and postage
rates, for domestic and foreign mail
matter. A sufficient number of
these pamphlets in connection with
the July supplement, are at your
disposal.
g. Registry and Money Order
Systems.-These two branches are
special features of the u. S. Postal
Service, and are covered extensively
in the phamphlet of information
mentioned above, Section 20 to "a,
also in detail and at length in the
P. 1. and R. of 1902.
Il. Proper Addressing of Letters
and Importance of Placing of Re-
turn Cards.-The proper addressing
of letter, paper or package for
mailing may to many seem so
simple as to need no mention in
work of this kind, but those in tie
mail service who handle thousands
of articles daily will testify that
there is a pressing need of teaching
that very thing, by placing the
sender's name in the upper left
hand corner of the letter, package or
paper mailed, insures promt return
of mail matter sent which could not
be delivered
Employees at the postohice, as
we'll as myself, will give you every
assistance to carry out the instruc-
tons of the department.
Very respectfully,
A. R. Erickson, Postmaster.

Rail Supervision Necessary.

Rail Supervision Necessary.
It must also be taken to be set
tied policy that there shall be COM
plete, effective and just supervision OF
our railroads. / do not believe in arbi-
trary action with regard to these i'm
portant concerns either by congress
or by state legislators or by commits
sions. The railroads are not the enc
mics. but the servants of the people.
To secure proper service they must
be subject to regulations. 1t must be
taken as firmly established that the
evils of rebating and of unjust dis
elimination will not be tolerated and
that adequate and impartial service
upon reasonable terms will be insisted
upon. There must be machinery
through which public obligations as
defined by law may be enforced. This
can best be obtained through an adj
ministrative board such as the inter-
state commerce commission. The
question Of rates must be determined
after full consideration of all peril
nent facts to the end that the require
ments of impartiality and reasonable
ness may be complied with, while at
the same time. a fair return to the
owners of the property may be assur-
ed. Nothing should be lacking in ad-
ministrative powers for the attainment
of these objects.
1t is also essential that there should
be efficient supervision of the issue Of
securities to avoid the evils of imitation
