ONE CENT POSTAGE
Future Possibility Based on
Present Conditions.
POSTAL DEFICIT NO MORE
Postmaster General Reports Revenue
Of 81 ,000, 900 in Excess Of De-
partment Expenses.
POSTAL DEFICIT NO MORE

From a deficit Of $17, 800 900 to a sur
plus Of 1000 600 in the administration
OF the postal affairs Of the country is
the latest announcement Of Postmaster
General Hitchcock. who has declared
| penny postage" to be the goal he is
aiming for as the great achievement of
his administration.
Last year a marked decrease in the
postal deficit was announced by the Post
master General, coupled with the pre-
tdiction that as a result Of the retrench-
ments and reforms introduced in the
service the deficit would be entirely
| wiped out and the way made clear for
penny postage at the close of this
fiscal year.
Now for the first time in the history
OF the service, it is said. the deficit in
the Post Office Department has been en-
tirely wiped out. and $1,000. 600 surplus
30 next. is in the treasury to the depart
ments credit
Returned to Treasury.
Postmaster General Hitchcock Saturday
night signed a warrant returning to the
Secretary Of the Treasury $1,000. 900. the
|
public funds to assist in defraying the
expenses Of the postal service for the
present fiscal year.
stated. have made the refund possible.
An accounting plan. which was adopted
about year ago, inSures the prompt de-
posit tn the Treasury of postal funds not
post Offices. thus making available for
use by the Post Office Department sew
eral millions OF dollars that under the
former practice would be tied up In post
omces. Under the old system 1t required
approximately $10OOO.00O to finance the
postal service.
In making the refund to the Treasury,
Mr.. Hitchcock said he was satisfied that
the postal revenues would be more than
sumcient to defray the postal expenses
during the remainder Of the fiscal year,
and that July 1 would show a surplus
considerably over 81 100000.
Forerunner Of Cheaper Postage.
This clearly paves the way. It Is
claimed. to what Is known as penny
postage" although in fact the term Is Q
misnomer. for Americans already enjoy
penny postage as known to the people
Of Great Britain: that is to say. q unit
rate of cents an ounce on letters and
f1Fst-class or sealed mail matter, the
English penny being the equivalent OF
cents Of American money.
But the penny postage" Postmaster
General Hitchcock 10 aiming to secure. It
Is said. is q rate Of cent an ounce on
such matter. actually half the rate OF
the English penny postage"
1t will require an act Of Congress to
bring this rate into effect. for Congress
reserves to itself the right to fix the
revenues Of the country. whether derived
from postal or other sources.
| Postmaster General Hitchcock has not
yet said he would ask Congress to enact
tho cent rate OF postage on letters into
law. But in most Of his public state
n1ents and reports. in connection with the
effort to make the postal service self
sustaining. he has clearly Indicated his
purpose to do 50 whenever II becomes
practicable. A cent postage on ordinary
letters. therefore. seems to be within the
reach Of the people.
