$3,250,OOO POLITICAL MAIL
MUCH EXPENSE ENTAILED ON
THE POSTAL SERVICE ON
ACCOUNT OF POLITICS,
Abuse of Franking Privilege Accounts
for Postal Deficit, Says Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock.

Washington. - Political campaign
material transmitted free of postage
through the mails accounted accord.
Ing to postoffice department records,
for the difference between a postal
surplus and a postal deficit for the
last fiscal year, ending June 80. An
account of franked mail forwarded
for congress, the executive depart.
ments and other government estab
lishments, shows that postage at the
ordinary rate on this matter would
have netted the government nearly
$40 100000. About $3,25O,00O of this
would have been paid on political doc
uments.
The postal service in the year han.
died aO,245,000 pieces of franked
mail, weighing 61,371,OOO pounds.
This was 3.8 per cent. of the total
weight of all domestic mail carried.
During the presidential and con
gressional primary campaign in the
last quarter of the fiscal year, as dis.
closed by comparison with the
amounts of free matter sent during
corresponding periods of previous
years, an extraordinary amount of
franked matter was sent through the
mails at public expense. This matter
consisted of political speeches, reports
and documents of all kinds
Commenting upon these figures
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
has long urged that restriction should
be thrown around the use of the
privilege, said:
1.-THE unusual expense entailed upon
the postal service through the trans.
mission by mail of the great amount
of political matter in the primary
created a temporary deficit |
for the first time in two years, the
total expenditures for the fiscal year
IF 1912 aggregating $24S,525,000 while |
The total revenues amounted to $246,.
744000. Had it not been for the cost
Of carrying franked political mail, the
postal account would have shown a |
surplus of more than $1,00O,000 in.
stead Of deficit of $1,7S1 900, and this
surplus indicated would have been de-
'eloped Notwithstanding the fact that
he compensation of postal employees
vas increased during the year by an
aggregate of $6,000,000."
