PRESIDENT MESSAGE
GOVERNM'T CONTROL
DOES NOT APPROVE HITCH
COCKS IDEA OF OPERATING
ALL TELEGRAPH LINES.


Taft today informed congress that he
did not approve of Postmaster Gen
eral ilitchcocks suggestion that the
government buy and operate all tel
egraph lines as an adjunct of the post
al system. Mr.. Taft said that if 1t
could be shown that the public would
benefit by receiving service at a less
price than is now paid he might think
differently OF the plan, but that he
was not convinced such would be the
effect.
After referring to the practical Wi
ping out of the postal deficit and
other features OF Mr.. Iitchcock's ad-
minstration of affairs, Mr. Taft in
transmitting the post office depart
ments report to congress today said:
There is only one recommendation
in which | cannot agree-that is one
which recommends that the telegraph
lines in the United States should be
made part of the postal system and
operated in conjunction with the mall
system This presents a question of
government ownership of public util-
tiles which are now being condu>ted
by private enterprises under franchis-
es from the government.
81 believe that the true principle
is that private enterprise should be
permitted 10 carry on such public nth
tiles under due regulation as to rates
by proper authority rather than that
the government itself should conduct
them This principle favor because
| do not think if in accordance with
the best public policy thus greatly
TO increase the body of public ser
wants.
OF course, if it could be shown
that telegraph service could be fur
niShed to the public at a less price
than it is now furnished to the public
by telegraph companies, and with
equal efficiency, the argument might
be strong one in favor of the adopt
ion of the proposition. But am not
satisfied from any evidence that if
these properties were taken over by
the government they could be man
aged any more economically or any
more efficiently or that this would
enable the government 10 furnish ser
vice at any smaller rate than the pub
lie are now required to pay by. pri-
Ndte companies"
The president found much, he said,
to commend in Mr.. IlitchcoCk's de
partment. Il cannot speak with too
great emphasis he said, "of The i'm
proyemeut in the post office depart
ment under the present management

ed out, by reductions of force or num-
bers of post offices or salaries but

Mr. Taft approved the adoption of
a parcels post recommended by Mr..
Hitchcock: said that the placing Of
assistant postmasters in the civil SER
vice should be followed by placing
under the Classified service Of post
