President Shonts went on to say that
they had constantly kept Mr.. Gould ad-
vised as to every phase of the negotia-
tions throughout the long period. They
had also informed Julien T. Davies and
Judge Dillon, the two counst for the
Manhattan, Of every step. Alfred Skitt
vice-president Of the Manhattan, had
sat in all the meetings OF the Inter-
borough as a member Of that direc-
torate.
Indeed" said President Shonts, so
great was Mr.. Sktt's confidence in the
approval Of the Manhattan company
that when the matter of the immedi-
ate signature of the contracts was
under discussion, and the point was
raised whether the Interborough couio
safely sign the contract with the city
without having secured the formal con-
sent of the Manhattan directors before

run no risk In signing the documents.
In view Of all this You may readiiy

eral can reduces his income, but he
cannot reduce his expenses. The
law fixes certain rate which the
government pays the railroads for
handling the mails. That rate can
not be changed BY the postmaster
general. Any reduction In postal
rates simply reduces the revenues Of
the government, and leaves the rev.
enues of the railroads from the gov
ernment the same.
"In changing an express rate the
Interstate commerce commission
faces a different situation. The
railroads get percentage OF the
gross receipts Of the express CON-
panies as their compensation for
handling the express business, the
percentage being approximately so
per cent. Therefore, when the in

duces an express Fate It also re 1uces
the amount the railroad receives for

reduction is shared equally by the

SENATOR BRYAN
!. AND HIS CRITICS

It is rank injustice to Senator
Bryan on the part Of those papers
which are now charging that he is
the representative of the special in
terests (the railroads) because OF
his recent action questioning the
right Of the postmaster general to
Increase the weight and reduce the
rates III the parcel post system.
Whether mistaken or not, Senator
Bryan was doing what he thought
was his clear duty in the premises
to save the postofilce department
from a deficit, and we agree with
the Barlow Courier-Informant when
It says that our people have been
too quick in condemning his atti-
tude in this matter.
AS a member of the Senate COM
0ittee on postoffice affairs he had
b take up this question Of the in
creased expense incurred by the ac-
ton Of the postmaster general, and
those papers and people who have
been criticizing him are invited to
solve the following problem with
which he was. confronted as a pub
lie servant and member Of the SEN
ate committee on postoffices. The
problem Is very clearly stated by
Senator Bristow In the course of the
Senate debate on the question:
"The difficulty in changing the
rates which the parcel post law now
provides Is that the postmaster gen.
