United States Postal Service On
self-sustaining Basis for First
Time Since 18as-Record pefi-
cit Changed into Surplus in Two
Years.

The annual report Of Postmaster
General Frank Hitchcock shows that
for the first time since 1883 the
yearly financial statement of the
United States postoffice department
records a surplus instead of a defi-
cit. The placing Of the postal SER
vice upon self-sustaining basis
will mean an Improvement and ex-
tension of facilities, and at no dis
tant day one-cent letter postage.
At the beginning OF the present
administration in 1909. Mr. Hitch
cock points out in his report, the
department showed deficit of $17,-
479,770, the largest on record. In
two years this deficit has been
changed into surplus Of $219,118.
despite important extensions through
out the service. These extensions
include 3744 new postoffices, de-
livery of mail by carriers in 1856 adj
ditional cities, 2156 new rural mail
routes aggregating 60,679 miles, and
| 5000 additional postal employees,
with the salary roll greater by $14,-
100000 than it was two years ago.
The postal savings bank system,
| less than year old, now is in op-
GRAFTON in practically $500 presidential
postoffices Preparations are being
made to establish it in about 40
600 fourth class offices that do a
money order business. In eleven
months operation, postal banks de-
posits aggregated $11 100000 and they
are expected to reach $40,000,000 or
more by July /. In view Of the sue
cessful operation OF the postal banks,
Mr.. Hitchcock strongly recommends
the establishment by congress OF an
adequate parcels post, which he said
could be put into operation within
a few months. The postmaster-gen-
/ eral reiterates that the second-class
rates should be two cents instead of
one cent a pound. He argues that
by readjusting the pay of the rail-
roads for transporting mail a saw

President Taft, through President c.
R. Joy of the Keokuk Industrial As
sociation, has received an invitation
to visit this city on his proposed
western trip. 1t was learned that
the presidents itinerary would not be
formulated until after the adjourn

has adjourned the itinerary Of the
president is being made up and word
has been received that the Keokuk
invitation would receive due consid-
Grafton. 1t has been presented to
President Taft that while he was
secretary Of war the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Water Power project came be-
fore him and he has since that time
been more or less familiar with the
development and it is hoped that the
government having such.a vital con,
Germ in the big undertaking these
features would have considerable
weight in getting the president to
make Keokuk a visit. Former Presi
dent Roosevelt signed the bill which
congress passed permitting the dam tc
be constructed and he visited keokuk
on more than one occasion. 1t would
be very pleasing to Keokuk to have
Colonel Roosevelt's successor visi'
Keokuk.
The presence of Mr.. Taft would be
the occasion for large gathering O
people from the three states and Keo
kuk would be pleased to entertain hin
and also delighted to have him view
the work on the biggest electrical
producing dam in the world
1t is hoped that the invitation ex
tended by the Keokuk Industrial AS
