eight years the postal establish
ment has paid into the treasury
of the United States funds to be
used for general purposes. Put
ting the proposition in different
language for the first time in
three quarters of a century Un-
Gle Sam is making money out OF
his post Office. He received d
very tidy dividend last year
about So, 500, 000-and Postmast-
er General Burleson says that is
only a beginning.
The wipingsout of the postal
deficit is one of the substantial
achievements Of the Wilson ad-
ministration. In 1909, under
Taft, congress had to appropriate
almost $40, 900, 900 to make good
the deficiency for that year.
The marvellous development OF
the parcel post under Democratic
direction is largely responsible
for the prosperity of the postal
service. AS an example Of this
growth, the postmaster general
poims out that at the fifty .ad-
ing postoffices Of the country the
number Of packages handled in
the first fifteen days of of April
1914, showed an increase of 146
per cent over the number handled
in the first fifteen days of Octo-
Der, 1918,
And yet the parcel post is in
the infancy of its development.
When the railroads are compelled
to give it the same treatment
they accord the express compan-
les it will produ'e profit of $50
900. 600 q year, in addition to cut
ting rates in two and materially
Increasing efficiency of service.
LARGEST APPROPRIATION
BILL.
The Pest Offic, appr. .priation
bill is one Of the most intere sting
measures brought before Con-
gress, and always provokes ex-
tended discussion. 1t is the lar
gest of the appropriation bills.
This year it provided for expen-
ditures appropriating $300,000->
600. Ten years ago the depart
ment got along on $3.50, 100000
Twenty years ago its outlay to-
tailed $S3. 900. 900, Rural free
delivery and parcel post are re
sponsible for a large part of the
increase.

that Il cir mai must follow them.

Of snow-capped peaks and the
rove! nment bows to public opin-
i'm. frequently pending q dollar
to deliver a letter bearing two

A few years ago Congress ap-
propriated $40, 600 for rural free
delivery. This year the appro-
priations for carriers on star
and rural routes total $641, 0O0-
600.
The railroads receive about
500, 000. 900 for transporting the
mails. They are always COM
planning, but it can be demon
strated that they make more
money out of carrying the mails
than they do out Of their passen-
ger business. The fact is, the
