RAILWAYS ARE UNDERPAID
Mail Service Has Not Been Fairly
Remunerative, Say the Carriers.

Mail Service Has Not Been Falrly
Remunerative, Say the Carriers.
Mail Carrying Rail-
ways Underpaid" is the title of an
interesting booklet which is now be-
ing distributed over Georgia and 9TH
er Southern states. 1t contains
statement by the committee on rail-
way mail pay representing 214,275
miles of railway, and gives facts and
figures which prove that railway mail
pay does not equal the operating ex-
penses that it makes necessary, leav-
ing nothing for return upon the val
ue of the property.
1t is pointed out that the payments
to the railways for the services and
facilities furnished by them to the
postoffice department are and for
long time have been unjustly low.
The pamphlet, which no doubt will
be generally read, contains concise
statement of the facts which prove
that this belief is warranted and, in
cidentally, refutation of the esti-
mate made by the postmaster-general
and reported to congress, which led
him to conclude that the basis of pay
ment could now properly be changed
so as to accomplish present reduc-
ton of about twenty per cent. 1t is
shown that although the insufficient
data and the erroneous methods en-
ployed by the postmaster-general re-
suited in his making estimates of
cost to the railways that are far be-
low the real cost his own figures and
calculations, when properly analysed
and supplemented, demonstrate that
the mail service has not been fairly
remunerative to the railways.

WANTED DOLL FROM UNCLE SAM
Little Girl Down in Maine Who Start
ed TangIe of Red Tape.


ed a Tangle of Red Tape.
Yards and yards of official red tape
were unwound in the United States
war department when a letter was
received recently from a little CIR
down in Maine, who demanded that
Uncle Sam replace a doll whose de-
mise had been caused by the concus-
sion of the big guns in a recent naval
target practice off the coast near her
house at Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
The little girl is Marion Cogges-
hall, Z years old, and her letter fol-
lows:
when the big guns were fired last
week it shook the house so badly
that my precious dolly fell on the
floor and was broken to pieces. May
ask the government for another
dolly? She was not very big, but
she was my pet, and loved her very
much"
The adjutant general started the
red tape going by referring the letter
to the quartermaster general for in
vestigation. 1t was tagged claim
No. 1.949,121," and then unbeknown
to Marion's parents the wheels In the
machinery of the United States war
department began to revolVe and in
time the claim reached the command
ant of the government reservation at
Fort Williams, Maine. His name Is
Col. Bartlett, and he happened to
know Marion's parents, so he stopped
the tangle of red tape by telephoning
to her mother, who, vastly surprised
and amused, called the whole thing
off. So he officially endorsed claim
No. 1,949,121 with the statement
that the claimants parents did not
wish to collect from the government.
This went to Major General Barry,
commanding officer of the eastern d.
vision, stationed at Governors Is
land. who sent it back to j. b. Ale
shire, chief of the quartermaster
corps at Washington, who made the
nroper endorsement and sent it back
TO II. o. S. Heistand, adjutant gen.
eraI of the war department, In whose
archives the claim of 7year-old Ma
rion will repose henceforth, safely
rolled I'D in red tape.
