POSTAL DEFICIT REDUCED.
Good Showing Is Made in the Report
of Postmaster General.

Good Showing Is Made in the Report
of Postmaster General.
Washington, Dec. 12.-According to
the annual report of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock, just made public, an
unprecedented reduction in the postal
deficit has been made, without any
curtailment of postal facilities. A
year ago the fiscal records of the post
al service disclosed a deficit of seven
teen and a half million dollars, the
largest in the history Of the country.
In the space of twelve months re-
duction of eleven and a half millions
has been made in this deficit, the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts as
reported for the year ended June 80
last amounting to only $5,848,5668S.
IN view of the constantly growing
loss on second class mail, the report
advises the levying of higher rates in
such a way that the advance would
be paid by the magazines that carry
large amounts of advertising This
plan, Mr.. Hitchcock believes, would
soon warrant 1-cent postage on first
class mail. He again urges the intro.
duction of limited parcel-post serv-
ice on rural routes, advises that the
entire postal service be taken out of
politics and all presidential postmast.
ers of all grades from the first to the
third be placed in the classified civil!
service, and recommends that a law
be passed granting thirty days annual
leave of absence with pay to postoffice
clerks and city letter carriers anG
also to railway postal clerks who are
required to work six days or more a
week throughout the year.

man, Slatington, Pa, says he suffered
for many years with catarrh Of the

Parcels Post. !.

The Grand Rapids Herald is carrying
on an active campaign looking to the
establishment Of experimental parcels
post delivery on rural routes, covering
parcels terminating on the same route
where they originate. Practically the
entire Michigan delegation is pledged
to favor such legislation and there is
more than possibility that the needed
legislation will be passed at the APP
preaching session of congress.
Congressman Fordnev states his
views as follows:
II am now, and always have been in
favor of inaugurating Federal parcels
post delivery. covering packages and
parcels of a regulated size, terminating
on the same route where they original
ed. hope the people will favor such e
law as au experiment in this Depart
ment. There will be time enough to
consider further extension of this sys-
tenn after it has proved to be a success
locally"
There are in the state 1904 rural
routes, covering 49,018 miles and
