POSTAGE FRANK
 PROVES BURDEN
POSTMASTER GENERAL SAYS IT HAS CAUSED DEFICIT IN THE
 FUNDS OF DEPARTMENT.
Franking Privilege Cost the Govern ment $2oooo,ooo During the Fiscal
 Year Just Closed.

Washington, Nov. 22-Political cam. paign material transmitted free of postage through she mails accounted according to postoffice department records, for the difference between a postal surplus and 8 postal deficit for the last fiscal year ending June 30. On account of franked mail forward ed for congress, the executive depart
 menss snd other government estab- lishments shows that postage at the
 ordinary rate on this matter would have netted the government nearly
 s20,000000. About $3,250,000 of this would have been paid on political doc uments.
 The postal service handled in the year BIO, 0,245 GOO pieces of franked mail weighing 6i,3T7 .000 pounds. This
 was 3.S per cent of the total weight IQt 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 mat. ter consisted of political speeches. re. ports fsld documents of all kinds and
 evan of one complete political cam paign book, all of which had been made technically frankable by inser- ton in the Congressional Record. It | is computed that the total weight of this franked matter was between r. 100000 and S,000,000 pounds, all of which was transmitted as first class mail
 Commenting upcn these figures,
 Postmaster General Hitchcock. who
 has long urged that restrictions should be thrown around the use of the franking privilege, said today: The unusual expense entailed upon he postal service through the trans mission by mail of the great amount lof political matter in the primary campaign created a temporary deficit for the first time in two years, the
 total expenditures for the fiscal year
 of 1912 aggregating $24S, ,525, ,0O0, while
 the total revenues amounted to s246,- 744,000 Had it not been for the cost ,of carrying franzed political mail, the postal account would have shown a surplus of more than S1,000,O00 This surplus I have indicated would have developed notwithstand. ling the fact that the compensation | of postal employees was increased during the year by an aggregate of $6, ,000, ,000"
