pany was having trouble in getting
there. At times the heavy truck sank to
It's hubs in the mud and more than once
the outfit was obliged to stop entirely.
The water pipes were filed with mud
and the pressure was so low for time
that the firemen were greatly hindered.
1t is thought the fire started from the
chimney in the kitchen stove. The fam
lily was able to escape but had no time
to save any furniture or clothing. 1t
was necessary to lay $50 feet of hose.
A sum of money was burned and Mr..
Plants handbook. The house had been
occupied by Mr.. Plant only two weeks.
There was insurance on the building but
not on the furniture.

P0S1MASTER.GENERAL FOR
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

to report to congress the probable
cost Of connecting telegraph and
telephone system with the postal SER
vice by some feasible plan are evil
dences of the policy OF this govern.
ment ultimately to acquire and OPP
crate these electrical means OF COM
munication as postal facilities, as is
done by all the principal nations,
the United states alone excepted.
THE successful operation OF the
parcel post has demonstrated the ca
pacity of the goernment to conduct
the public utilities which fall prop
erly within the postal provision of
the constitution.
Every argument in favor of the
goernment ownership of telegraph
lines may be advanced with equal
logic and force in favor of the govern
ment ownership Of telephone lines.
1t has been competently decided that
a telephone message and a telegram
are the same within the meaning OF
the laws goerning the telegraph serv-
Ice, and therefore it is believed that
the statute enabling the government
to acquire, upon the payment of an
appraised valuation, the telegraph
lines of the country will enable the
government to acquire the telephone
network of the country. While it is
true that the telephone companies
have not complied with the require
ments of section 5267, Revised Stat
utes, this cannot be held to nullify
the intent of the law, since the nom
use on the part Of the government
of any of it's, constitutional privileges
in no wise surrenders the right to eX-
erclse these privileges whenever the
best interests Of the nation demand.
In June last a committee was ap-
pointed to make an investigation of
this subject, to determine the prelim-
mary steps necessary for the govern
ment to take toward the acquisition
Of the telegraph lines of the country
in accordance with section 1851 Of the
Revised Statutes. This committee is
now engaged in preparing its pre-
liminary report, and il the findings
justify such action proper recon-
mendation will be made by the de-
partment at later date"
Postmaster General Burleson pre-
sents an elaborate statement of the
financial operations of the postoffice
department, including a discussion OF
the methods of bookkeeping which
he has changed.
1T is gratifying to report" says
he, that the total expenses OF main

He Says

Washington, Dec. ia sweeping
declaration in favor of government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines and an assertion that the postal
service now is self-supporting for the
first. time since 1883, are features OF
the, annual report Of Postmaster GER.
eral Burleson, transmitted today TO
congress.
Concerning the acquisition Of tele-
phone and telegraph lines, Postmas-
ter General Burleson says that The
government has demonstrated its ca
pacity to conduct public utilities. and,
from his present information, he is
inclined clearly to the taking over by
the postotfice department of the tele-
graph lines and, possibly, also. Of the
telephone lines. Discussing that, the
postmaster general says:
"A study of the constitutional pur-
poses Of the postal establishment
leads to the conviction that the post
office department should have control
over all means Of the communication
of intelligence. The first telegraph
line in this country was maintained
and operated as part of the postal
service, and it is to be regretted that
congress saw fit to relinquish this ia.
cility to private enterprise. The
monopolistic nature of the telegraph
business makes it Of vital Importance
to the people that it be conducted by
unselfish interests, and this can be
accomplished only through govern.
ment ownership.

for the government acquisition of the
telegraph lines upon payment of an
appraised valuation, and the act of
/. 1902, DIRECTING the postmaster general

that the postal service is now, for the
first time since 1888, self-supporting.'
AS to his general financial policy
Postmaster General Burleson says;
The dominant policy of the pres
ent administration will be to conduct
the postal service for the convent.
ence of the public and not for profit.
It's controlling purpose will be to
promote efficiency by the complete
Standardization OF the service, which
will be attained by harmonizing equip
ment, adjusting the personnel. and
securing the greatest possible coop
Grafton in every quarter.
"The prime consideration in per-
fecting the personnel of the postal
service shall be to recognize efficien-
cy, and to eliminate craftsmanship. In
the extension of service and in the
imposition Of charges the government
must be guided not by the considera-
tion of profit, but by the needs OF the
people, who have right to expect
the most efficient postal service adj
ministered in the most economical
manner possible, and made available

Notable recommendation to con
gress for the enactment of additional
legislation to facilitate and extend
the operations of the postal service
are made. Among the more import
ant, are the following:
"That the postoffice department be
given exclusive jurisdiction over the
