caused by mistakes OF employees

SERVICE SELF SUPPORTING
Declares Postal Service Will BE Con-
Quoted for Efficiency Rather
Than Profit.

Washington.-A sweeping deciara'
tion In favor of the principle OF gov
eminent ownership Of telephone ana
telegraph lines and an assertion that
the nostal service now is selfsupport-
ing for the first time since 1883, are
features of the annual report OF POST
master General Burleson, transmitted
to congress.
Concerning the acquisition OF tele-
phone and telegraph lines, postmaster
General Burleson says that the gov
eminent has demonstrated its capacity
70 conduct public utilities, and, from
his present information, he is lncllneu
clearly to the taking over by the post
office department of the telegraph
lines and, possibly, also, Of the tele-
nbone lines. Discussing that the post
master general says:
"a study of the constitutional pur'
noses of the postal establishment leaus
to the conviction that the postoince
department should have control over
all means of the communication OF IN
telngence. The first telegraph line IN
this country was maintained and op-
Grated as a part of the postal service
and it is to be regretted that congress
saw fit to relinquish this facility 10
private enterprise.
"The monopolistic nature OF the tel
egraph business makes it of vital I'M
portance to the people that it be con
d,,cted by unselGsh interests, and this
can be accomplished only through gov
eminent ownership.

for the government acquisition OF the
telegraph lines upon payment OF an
