Senator Carter said last March:


"But must forego further pursuit of
details The bill was cordially approved by
Postmaster General Meyer and his assistants
and likewise has the approval Of Postmaster
General Hitchcock. 1t failed OF passage DUR
ing the last Congress owing to lack Of time
for its proper consideration, but have re-
introduced the bill, which is now designated
Senate 6287, Second Session, Sixty-hrst
Congress. The Committee on Postofhces and
Postroads will favorably report the bill to the
Senate, and it should be enacted into law
before the close of this session. I believe not
only that it will increase efficiency, but that
after the expense of installation is absorbed
it will result in such economies in the admin
istration of the department and service as
will ere long wipe out the deficiency. In
operating under it the department will be
able with almost unerring certainty to deter
mine the actual cost of each service performed
thereby reaching sound basis for legislation
such as is neither available nor obtainable
under the present system.
II deeply sympathize with the earnest
desire of the department officials to get rid
of the deficiency they are fated to encounter
each year, but submit that the first real
movement toward that end must begin with
the substitution of modern, up-to-date busi-
ness organization for the existing antiquated
system, which rests upon few sections of law
enacted in 1895, supplemented by, statutory
fragments added from time to time since that
year.

Our Political POStOmce

John Wanamaker Postmaster General;
Senator Boies Penrose is chairman OF the great
Postoffice Committee of the United States Senate;
Thomas H. Carter, Senator from Montana, has
served many years on that committee.
No three men in the United States better
yersed in postofce affairs and needs than these.
On February 9, 1911 the Senate Postofiee
Committee, under the leadership Of Senators
Penrose and Carter, reported favorably to the
Senate for action the Postofice Appropriation bill,
containing provision, put In without allowing
public hearing or open consideration, but under
political pressure from the White House, that in
creases the postage rate on magazines and period
cals to such extent that it practically absorbs
all the profits Of the publishing business of the
country and makes the further production OF
popular-priced magazines impossible It imposes
a tax that is confiscatory.
: Notwithstanding, within the year Senator
Boies Penrose said, referring to the Carter Weeks
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-02-14

These are some Of the big features Of
the bill The whole intent is to systematize
and to modernize the entire postal system It
is idle to take up such questions apportion-
ing the cost for carrying second-class mail
matter or the proper compensation Of rail
have established business methods ia postofice
affairs by reorganization of the whole postal
system.
THE commission unanimously recon-
mended the passage Of the projected bill.
Personally have been very much interested
in all the details and, of course, am heartily
in favor of the changes to be made"
