CUT The DEFICIT

Says Hitchcock.
WOULD WIPE THAT OUT
Increasing Rate on Advertising Mat
ter in Magazines Recommended
as Safe Method.

Washington, Dec. 13.-In the u
months a reduction has been made in
the deficit of the postofice department
of $11.5OO, 900. according to the annual
report of Postmaster General Frank II.
Hitchcock.
While a year ago the fiscal records
of the postal service disclosed a deficit
of s17.5OO,O 900, the largest in the his
tory Of the country, the excess of ex-
penditures over receipts for the year
which ended June 80 last amounted to
only $5.S4S.56 In commenting upon
this reduction. Postmaster General
Hitchcock says:
This unprecedented reduction has
been made without any curtailment of
postal facilities On the contrary. the
service has been largely extended.
The more quickly mail matter can he
handled. the less expensive is the pro-
cess. The department has devoted it.
self to the work of increasing the eff
cheney of the mail service. considering
this the surest method of making the
postal establishment self-supporting."
Second Glass Mail Matter.
In the discussion OF second class
mail, Postmaster General Hitchcock
points out the constant growth of this
class of matter It is carried at a loss.
and he urges that a remedy should be
promptly applied by charging more
postage.
I'm levyinC the higher rate" the re-
port suggests. 1T is believed that

Der of second class publications. in

idoicals. that derive little or no profit
from advertising
should he Encouraged.
1T IS the circulation of this type OF
publications, which aid so effectively
in the educational and moral advance
ment of the people, that the govern
ment can best afford TO encourage.
For these publications, and also for
any other legitimate reading matter
in periodical form, the department IA
vors continuatio of the present low
postage of l cent pound. and recon-
mends that the proposed increase in
rate be applied only to magazine ad-
vertising matter.
IF the magazines could be required
TO pay what ii costs the government
10 carry advertising pages the depart
ment's revenue would soon grow large
enough to warrant l cent postage on
first class mail.
Newspapers are not included in the
plan for higher rate on advertising
matter, because. being chiefly of local
they do not employ the
mails to any such extent as the widely
magazines"
