time in history a man has been
put in charge who has some exccu-
tive rather than merely political
ability
The cry was raised few
months ago that the responsible
ity for the alarming deficit rest
ed upon the newspapers and mag
azines of the country, which were
accused Of cluttering up the mails
and weighing down the mail cars
with tons upon tons Of second class
mail matter at one cent per pound.
That idea was speedily refuted
and the blame placed where it be-
longed-upon the previous ineffi-
cheney Of the postal department
and upon the mass of mail matter
that was carried free under the
" franks" of the members of con
gress.
Apparently Postmaster General
Hitchcock has made a thorough
houSe-cleaning in his own depart
ment and apparently the reforms
which he has instituted have been
bearing fruit, as the figures show.
The greatest evil, however. has
been left practically untouched.
The members of congress are still
at liberty to burden the mail with
tons Of mail matter which does on
~ a doubtful personal and certain
~ no public good. For instance
although congress has been adj
Journed for some days-the con-
gressionaI record is still appearing
regularly every morning with the
deferred reports Of the speeches
Of members which were never de.
livered and which will be sent
home to the constituents as glow
ing examples of the oratory of
their representatives - properly
marked with (''applause'') and
destined for purely partisan po-
litical purposes.
The testimony of the Ballinger
investigating Committee weighs
several pounds and this is a polit-
zeal document which can be sent
through the mails free Of charge
by any member Of congress. There
are many other similar documents
Of less interest and of far less i'm
portance.
Yet, in spite of this handicap
Of the heavy mail matter sent out
by congress itself-in spite of the
heavy increase in the bulk of the
newspaper and magazine mail
General Hitchcock has
been able, by applying business
methods to his department, not
only to wipe out a deficit, but to
actually show "a profit.
The revenues for the quarter
amounted to $58,934,000 and the
expenses to $57, SCI, 900. Compared
with the corresponding quarter
Of the year before, the receipts
show an increase Of ten per cent
and the expenditures an increase
Of only t per cent-or a gain in
profits Of 6 per cent.
This surplus earned has resulted
in a showing for the first nine
