Takethe Post-Offce
Out of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit IN his
Department against the magazines the Postmaster
General has done the country genuine, even If an
unintentonal, service. He has drawn attention to
the necessity for thorough reorganization of the
Postal Department. He has emphasized the I'M
portance of taking the Post-Ofice out of politics
for all time.
The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves-
tigaton of postal affairs, and joint commission,
headed by Senator Penrose and Representative
Overstreet, made thorough investigation of the
whole subject. AS result, the Overstreet bill,
which contains many excellent recommendations,
was presented. 1t is not from guesswork that we
have concluded that the Department is In need of
radical reorganization but from the official reports
of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission
and of the disnterested accountants hired by II to
investigate the business methods of the Depart
ment We quote from these reports, remember
ing that the findings and criticisms are not ours,
but those of Congressional Commission and Its
authorized agents. First read these recommended

tNTFRPRISING CITY
BUSILY BOOSTING
Richmond Bringing Attention of
Manufacturers to Its Com
mercial Advantages

Richmond has not allowed matters
to drift, but has earnestly worked in
its own behalf 10 assist in home growth
and general advancement. In June,
1903. the Richmond industrial commits
sion was formed. The purpose of this
commission is TO induce manufacturing
plants TO locate in Richmond II. W.
makes a convincing argument concern
ing the attractions that Richmond holds
out to manufacturers.
Richmond" he says, has the cheap
fuel that is one of the necessities of
manufacturing industries. Oil can be
piped directly to a manufacturing plant
in Richmond, doing away with the
necessity for extensive storage tanks,
and also reducing insurance rates. Rich
mond also has as cheap electric power
for manufacturing uses as any place.
Water is requisite for successful man
ufacturing operations. This can be
bought from the water company or can
be procured from wells at a depth Of
from 80 to 100 feet. Experiments have
determined that there is a fine quality
of water not far below the surface of
Richmond has great transportation
facilities. Rail and ship are brought
together on the most advantageous
terms Ships can bring in raw materi-
l.als and carry away manufactured prod
ucts under the most favorable condi-
tions. Two transcontinental roads are
operating in Richmond. Lands for man
ufacturing sites can be procured sat a
low rate. This was proved to the sat
isfaction of the Pullman car company,
which, after receiving offers for sites
at many places, decided to erect its
plant at Richmond
The land came 10 the Pullman COM
pany at a low cost per acre. The Rich
moad industrial commission realizes
the advantages that Richmond offers to
the manufacturer and also it under
stands that sites for the locations Of
plants must be brought to the attention
OF manufacturers. This the commission
will do. It will also help to get the
lands under the best possible conditions
for the manufacturers who may be in
duced to settle in Richmond"
The roll of the Richmond Industrial
commission includes the following
names:
