attention to the matter the depart
ment in January addressed a litter to
the joint committee of congress be-
fore which the question of proper
rates of postage on second class mat
ter has been pending for more than
two years, in which it was recon-
mended that the rate on publications
issued less frequently than weekly,
and ON weekly publications other than
newspapers, be increased from cent
pound to 2 cents pound, leaving
for future determination an additional
increase if same should be found nee
essary or desirable.
THE distinction made between
newspapers issued as frequently as
once a week and other publications
is believed to be in accord with the
long established policy Of congress.
Further reasons why the readjustment
OF postage rates on second class mat
ter should begin with publications
other than newspapers is found in the
greater length Of the average haul Of
such publications and the consequent
greater cost OF their transportation.
"Up to the present time the joint
committee has made no report or rec
ommendation ON the subject. Until
some such action shall be taken to re-
adjust rates on second class matter
no serious consideration can be given
to plans for revising and reducing
rates on first class mail"
Discussing the question Of railway
compensation, the repo'r says it is
believed the enactment cf the house
bill, pending in the senate, which pro-
vides for compensation on a space
basis, will conclude a long and vexa-
tious controversy over railroad mail
rates and inaugurate plan Of adjust
ment which will be entirely fair to
the railroad companies and be most
economical and advantageous in the
administration of the postal service" ."

Washington, Dec. 14--Asserting
that for the first time since its orga-
NATION by Benjamin Franklin, the
post office department is on a self
sustaining basis, Postmaster General
Burleson submitted to President Will
son today his annual report. 1t re-
cords enormous growth in the depart
ments business because of the parcels
post and postal savings bank divisions
and recommends program Of postal
legislation to increase the scope OF the
departments activities.
Mr.. Bulieson features in mis- report
an estimate that a surplus of $685.
545, the second of his administration,
will be shown for the fiscal year Of
1914 when all claims and charges have
been met On that showing he bases
his declaration that the Department
has been securely placed upon a self
sustaining basis"
ut is safe to say, the report adds,
"that unless unusual conditions should
arise, resulting in abnormal depres-
sion of business, there is no danger
OF recurring deficiencies"
The legislative program recon-
mended is as follows as to its most
important features:
Early action toward government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines and immediate taking over Of
these systems in Hawaii, Alaska and
Porto Rico. Transfer Of the Alaska
cable from war to postoffice depart
ment control
Substitution Of contract star route"
system for salarled rural carrier serv-
ice to eliminate 100000 annual loss
