government regular postage on franked
mail; much of which isn't even second
class matter; if the department will
do these things and leave the second
class rates alone, there will be no
danger of postal deficit.

people will perambulate around this

der that kind of a system our dress
making and tailoring bills would be
modest, if nothing else would be.
