TELEGRAPH LINE PLAN
Says That Consolidation With
Postal Service Would Re-
suit in Economy.

Postmaster General Hitchcocks idea of
having the government take over the tel
egraph systems of the country, which
created such a stir when made known a
short while ago, is fully set forth in his
completed annual report, which has just
been made public.
After suggesting that the telegraph
lines in the United States should be made
a part Of the postal system and operated
In conjunction with the mail service, Mr..
Hitchcock states "such a consolidation
would unquestionably result in important
economies and permit the adoption OF
lower telegraphic rates.
He states that post Offices are now
maintained in numerous places not reach
ed by the telegraph systems, and that
the proposed consolidation would there
fore afford favorable opportunity for
the wide extension of telegraphic facili-
ties. In many small towns, he adds,
where telegraph companies have offices
both the telegraph and: the postal busi-
ness of the community could be managed
in one office, the post office, and by the
same employees.
Needless Expenses Now.
Mr.. Hitchcock argues that the main
tenance of separate. services under
these conditions results in needless ex-
pense; refers to the fact that in prac-
tically all the European countries the
telegraph is controlled by the govern
ment-a fact that was true in the
United States from 1914 to 1S47-and
points to section 5267 of the Revised
Statutes as authority to the government
to purchase telegraph lines at an ap-
praised value. He concludes by ex-
pressing the hope that appropriate
legislation may be forthcoming provid-
ing for taking over the telegraph lines
at terms that shall be fair to their
present owners.
Next to. the introduction of a parcels
post, the Postmaster General con-
cludes, for which there is already a
strong. popular demand. the establish
ment Of a government telegraph sys-
tenn offers the best opportunity for the
profitable extension of the postal busi-
ness.
