TIE COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Recommendation Made Concerning
Second Glass Mail Matter.

Recommendation Made Concerning
Second Class Mail Matter.
The report Of the commission on sec.
ond class mail matter Is an exhaustive
document containing hundred pages
of printed matter
The commission. in addition to maxi
ing the recommendations mentioned in
the presidents message, also gives
many statistics showing the relative
amounts of the different classes OF mail
matter handled by the postofice de.
partment end the cost in detail.
The cost and methods OF handling
NAL! on railway cars are also carefully
considered
The report says In part:
The existing rates on second class
matter are those established by the act
OF 1870 as amended In 1884 and 1885.
Increase In Volume.
Our attention has been directed to
the fact that the postmasters general
in their annual reports have repeatedly
commented upon the increase In the
volume Of second class matter and
upon the disparity between the sup
posed cost OF transporting and han
ding il in the mails and the amount
received as postage. Their estimates
evidently reflected the opinion of the
officers Of the department, but they
were based upon general experience in
the service ana not upon scientific
ascertainmcnt Of cost.
The first question that arises in re-
gard to the rate is whether any dis
criminaton should be made between
different kinds of second class matter.
The plan proposed OF charging n special
rate for the portions of magazines de-
voted TO advertisements seems open to
grave practical objections. The amount
)f space given to advertising is no crl-
terion of the educational value OF a
magazine, and If the same provision
were applied 10 newspapers the at
tempt TO measure the space occupied
by advertisements would involve more
labor than Is consistent with the rapid
dispatch Of the daily press.
We conclude that whatever increase
be made should apply alike 10 newspa-
rers ana periodicals admitted to the
second class and that 1t Is impracti.
cable in the case OF newspapers to
charge a higher rate for space given TO
Advertisements 1t has been suggested
that the proportion Of this space should
be limited for all second class matter.
but the true definition OF such matter
is that which is devoted primarily to
the dissemination Of news and OF cur
rent literature and instruction, ana we
are not convinced that this can be
measured by an arbitrary standard OF
the proportion Of space given to adver-
tisement.
a Serious Question.
The question Of raising the rate on

Opposes Government Control of Teis
graph Lines.

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 mail
system. This presents n question of
government ownership of public utili-
ties Which are now being conducted by
private enterprise under franchises
from the government. believe that
the true principle Is that private enter
prise should be permitted to carry on
such public utilities under due regula-
tion as to rates by proper authority
rather than that the government should
itself conduct them. This principle |
favor because do not think it in ac-
cordance with the best public policy
thus greatly to increase the body OF
public servants. or course If 1t could
be shown that telegraph service could
be furnished to the public at n less
price than It Is now furnished to the
ubic by telegraph companies and
with equal efficiency the argument
might be strong one in favor OF the
adoption of the proposition.
Rut l am not satisfied from any evil
dence that if these properties were
taken over by the government they
could be managed any more economic
ul'y or any more efficiently or that this
would enable the government to fur
nish service ut any smaller rate than
tho public are now required to pay by
private companies.
cannot speak with too great empha-
sis of the improvement In the postonice
department under the present manage
nent The cutting down OF cost. the
shortening Of methods and the increase
in efficiency are shown by the statistics
Of the annual report.
One of the most important matters
referred &c by the postmaster general
Is the proposed fixing Of new rates Of
