PENNY POSTAGE"
NOW IN PROSPECT
Before Another Year Postmaster Gen.
eral Says the Postal Department
viii Be self-sustainlns.

Washington, d. c., Oct. ID Before
the close of another fiscal year, the
federal postal establishment will be-
come self-sustaining. This will be ac-
lcomplished without curtailing in the
| slightest the service rendered or les
Isening in any respect its efficiency"
This statement was made last night
lby Postmaster General Hitchcock, in
connection with the announcement
that he had submitted to the treasury
department, five days in advance of
the time fixed by law, his estimates
of appropriations for the department
for the fiscal year beginning July /.
During the last fiscal year, ended
June 30 last, Mr.. Hitchcock turned
back into the treasury about $4,000, 900
out of the actual appropriations made
lby congress for the support of the de-
Ipartment.
The deficit of the department for
| that year was less than for many
years, being reduced by approximately
one-half from the deficit of $17;000,-
1000 of the year before.
For the fiscal year 1912 the esti-
mates for the postal service at large
aggregate $3.50, 73S,945, an increase Of
only $6.s26,925 over the appropria-
tions for the current year. This is an
increase Of only 2.S per cent--the
SMALLEST in many years.
| Mr.. Hitchcock explained that while
the business of the postal service mad
grown tremendously during the last
1.-TWO years, the expenses Of the post
Ioffiee department in Washington have
mot been increased single dollar
|since the beginning of the present adj
ministration.
BY an effective reorganization of
1.-THE nostoffice department including
the introduction of labor savings de-
vices. 1t has been possible, said Mr..
Hitchcock, to reduce considerably the
number of employees and, at the same
time. to obtain increased efficiency in
the handling of the larger volume Of
business.
Similar methods of reorganization
NOW are being applied to the entire
postal service.
With the postal service able to pay
its own way, Mr.. Hitchcock is con-
WINGED that penny postage for first
class letters is not the "iridescent
dream" it has been declared. Indeed
he is almost prepared to assert that
| cent postage now Is IN sight as q
lpractical business proposition.
