Postmaster General Btlrleson recommends that
t1e entire rural delivery service be changed to the
contract system, and estimates that $15,000000 to
00O00 per year can be saved by so doing
8 His reasons for making this recommendation are
that congress has repeatedly advanced the salaries of
rural carriers until they are now $1,000 year. and
that contractor would be able to get the work done
much cheaper, because he would pay lower wages.
Mr. Burleson has spractomania. Every body
who talks about how much more cheaply private
industry can run than government industry is af-
fllcted with "practomania." "Practomania' is

learned to measure values in any other unit than
money. In other words, we think in terms of wealth
instead of in terms of welfare.
It's quite true that contractor would be able to
perform the rural delivery service cheaper" than
the government is now doing the work. He could do
this because the spur of competition between work.
ers seeking jobs is intense that will consent
to work for wages that enable them merely to exc
out an existence. Mere existence without welfare,
il not worth while. If any mans wage is so low that
it serves simply to keep body and soul together,
without affordng opportunity for happiness, those
wages are too low for the community to allow to be
paid. Such policy may "pay' in terms Of money,
but does not pay in terms of welfare.
It would not matter if the money cost of given
government operation were twice that for which a
competitive contractor could perform the service
il the result were misery than happiness in the
world, that result would not be worth achieving.
People like Postmaster General Burleson who
have spractomania are the kind of people who want
to "develop our natural resources" "expand our
commerce., promote trade" and the like They
stop to consider that natural resources for
instance might better be left undeveoped than to-
develop them in way to result in more misery than
happiness.
In this case it means merely that Postmaster Gen
