GOVERNMENT MAKES
NEW CONTRACTS

There was much complaint last year
on the part of tn railroads, that they
had been grievously imposed on by
the postoffice department. The adop.
tion and extension of the parcel post
burdened them with great volume of
mail of the most bulky sort The de-
partment makes its contracts every
four years. Many of the lines insist
ed that they were forced to carry the
mails at loss, because the depart
ment insisted on paying according TO
the letter of the existing contract.
Undoubtedly there were cases of in.
justice growing out of that situation.
But the postmaster general Is now
making contracts for transporting the
malls for the next four years. and
strange to say, is finding the railroads
eagerly competing for the contracts,
on terms no higher, or very slightly
higher, than the old ones. Apparently
their protests were based not SO much
on the astual loss as the cutting
down OF profits on government bust.
ness and had formerly been unduly
liberal and had come to be regarded
as a natural perquisite.
It's something new. anyhow, for
Uncle Sam to be accused Of stinginess
In paying for any sort of services.
Usually he errs the other way. While
the government should unquestionably
pay all legitimate expenses. an oc.
casional excess OF economy is sin in
the right direction.
