two cents for the carriage of letters, If
actually costs less than one cent each
for the government to handle them.
This results in the accumulation of a
surplus of over $62,OO0,OOO each year on
first class letter mail.
Two Cent Postage Tax.
The post office department was never
intended to be other than self support
ing. The government is entitled to
sufficient compensation for the actual
cost involved in carrying first-class
postage, but any surplus is little less
than a tax upon the users of postage
stamps throughout this great country.
In 1S43, the rate of postage on let
ter weighing one-half ounce or a frac-
ton thereof, carried from the city of
New York to Buffalo, a distance of less
than five hundred miles, was twenty
five cents. By successive and frequent
reductions, this rate was lowered, until
on October l, 1888, the two cent rate
became operative on letters weighing
half an ounce or a fraction thereof
This rate. with slight changes, has ex-
listed for thirty years. The weight has
been raised from one-half ounce to one
ounce, but no other change Of any mo-
ment has been made since 1888.
In the meantime, the correspondence
of the country has increased enormous
ly; transportation facilities have i'm
proved in proportion.
Big Demand for Cheaper Rate.
have introduced in congress a bill
providing for the Inauguration Of the
one cent letter rate on July /, next
M ~u3e Ia
mand of many thousands of people of
all classes throughout the entire coun-
Try. An organization known as the
National One Cent Letter Postage AS
ISOLATION, with headquarters at Cleve-
land, o., has been formed to support
the movement.
The immense profits made on first
class letters are a direct tax on every
person who writes a letter. That this
view Of the situation is reasonable, no
one can doubt. In no ether depart
nent of the government does such a
situation exist--the reaping of an alb
normal profit from a public service
which is supposed to be merely self
supporting. Although all letters pay
two cents apiece, only very small
portion weigh the full ounce permitted.
This is at the rate of about $3.50 per
ton, which is an unwarranted charge
for transportation in these days of easy
communication between cities, states
and continents. First class mail sup
Flies only II per cent of the total ton
mage of the mail, yet 1t pays at the
present time rs per cent of the total
revenue.
Hon. John Wanamaker, former post
master general, and the merchant king
of Philadelphia and New York, is
firm believer in one cent letter postage,
ard thinks that the government would
derive a larger revenue from 1t than
from two cent postage, when people
realize the cheaper facilities afforded
for communication with each other.
One reason which has "een advanced
against cheaper letter postage has been
that its inauguration would prevent
the establishment of a parcels post
system Now that we are enjoying the
advantages of parcels post in active
operation this argument loses its valid
ity. It is my firm belief that one cent
letter postage will be the next import
ant postal reform inaugurated by con-
gress.
