Introduces Resolution In
House Pointing Out
Enormous Profits.
ERROR is DECLARED
TO BE RESPONSIBLE
Overcharges Made Possible By
Government s Surrender OF
Its Monopoly.

In a long resolution introduced IN
the House today, Representative
Victor Murdoch of Kansas aTaigns
the express companies Of the COun-
Try, pointing out their enormous
profits aud charging them with IN
fringing on the Governments mo-
nopoly in the transportation of mail
This, the resolution declares, IS
made possible through a surrender
by the Government of its monopoly
against the plain prohibition of the
law.
This comes about, II IS claimed,
by the erroneous construction Of a
single word in the statutes based on
an assumption in a foOt-nOte Of the
rules and regulations of the Pos
Office Department, not warranted by
anything in the law.
COMPAEY'S PROFITS.
The resolution points out that
the Wells-FaEgO Express Company
has distributed within the last year
nearly s25,000,000 in dividends
among its shareholders, while the
Postoffce Department last wear
had deficit Of s1TO00.0 600, and de-
Clares that while the Postoffce De
partment eEfOrces the Government
monopoly II the transportation or
frst-class mail matter, II fails 10
exercise that power in the trans
portation Of second class and third
class and fourth class matter as
provided by law, asserting that the
failure 10 exercise the monopoly
under the law IS resulting in enor-
nous losses TO the Government
and to the enrichment OF the ex-
press companies.
Carriage Of Papers.
The question Of the carriage Of news
papers and periodicals is touched upon.
the declaration being made that where
there are short hauIs and profitable re-
muneration in carrying newspapers and
periodicals, the express companies CONE
pete with the Government, but where
the haul IS long and unavoidable the ex-
