1t is claimed by the advocates for

ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE

That tse adoption of one cent let
ter postage rate will mean large
increase in the amount of letter mail
carried by the government is the be-
lief of prominent business men who
have made a study of American pos
tai problems.
1t is thought by many experts in
postal matters that the creation VI
one cent letter rate by congress at
its coming session would mean so
much additional business that the ex-
ira revenue derived would easily care
for the expenses Of the department
under the lower rate.
One OF the strongest believers in
the one cent letter propaganda is
John Wanamaker, former postmaster
general and noted merchant whose
mammoth stores in Philadelphia and
New York are known to millions of
Americans who have visited them
Mr.. Wanamaker is of the belief that
one cent letter postage rate should
be inaugurated at once.
Il am a firm believer in one cent
letter postage" declares Mr. Wanna
maker, "and think the government
would have larger revenue from it
after the first two years than it has
at present from two cent postage,
when people had time to realize the
facilities afforded for communication
| with each other"
: John Wanamaker is probably one
of the best versed men in America
on postal problems. He was United
States postmaster general beginning
the year 1889 under President Benz.
Harrison and made a deep study of
I the situation This statement coming
: from a man of such mature judgment
is hailed with considerable satisfac-
ton by the promoters of the cam
! paign for one cent letter postage.
That a definite demand for one
cent letter postage will be made at
the coming session of congress is now
evident. Thousands of business men
throughout the country are joining
/ the National One Cent Letter Pos
tage Association which has it's head
/ quarters at Cleveland Ohio, and
which is conducting a campaign for
one cent letter rate. A new bill pro-
/ viding for one cent postage will be
/ introduced in congress early in the
session and a determined effort is to
be made to secure its passage. Hun
! dreds of commercial organizations,
and other bodies have indorsed the
campaign and are working with the
| postage association in the effort to
secure a lower rate.
Under present conditions It is
claimed that first class mail Is pay
ing surplus to the government of
nearly $70,O60,OOO a year Although
it requires two cents to mail a let
ter anywhere in the United States
it is estimated that it actually costs

carry 1t. At the present time the
department receives on letter mail an
average revenue of "a cents per
pound, equal to s1,6SO per ton. AL,
though this first class mail supplies
less than one-eighth Of the total ton,
mage of the mails, yet it pays rs per
cent of the total revenue. This is
the chief reason why the advocates
of one cent postage assert the pres.
