The last two years have shown sur
plus of approximately s3,500,000
each. The last previous surplus was
in 1888. 1t was then that the letter
rate was dropped from three cents to
two cents, and shortly after the
weight was increased from one-half
ounce to one ounce.
The rural mail service deficit is
$40, 900 900 and the second class de-
felt s65. 100000. Not until the sec
ond class deficit is wiped out will it
be possible to reduce letter rates to
one cent an ounce. The deficit is
caused by the free delivery of week
lies in the county of publication and
the cent-a-pound rate for papers and
magazines. Every postmaster gener-
al since John Wanamaker, under
President Harrison, has endeavored
to increase the second class rate but
the opposition has been TOO strong.
Another factor in the deficit is the
franking privilege. The cost Of hand
ling franked matter last year was
twenty and one-half million dollars
and franked matter increases each
year. The parcel post business is
self-sustaining.
The term "postoffices and post
roads" is very old and has been
traced back to Cyrus theElder, 55S
years B. c., who built post roads
throughout his empire for his private
use. Relays of horses and riders were
used. to which the pony express of
the United States was very similar.
Benjamin Franklin was the first
postmaster general, in 1775, receiving
a salary of $1,000 per year. In 1912
the New York postmaster had four
clerks who boarded at his home as
part pay and he bought each new
suit once year. The same Office now
employs 5000 clerks and has an an
nual revenue of $25,OOo,OO0. Until
1S45 it cost six cents to carry letter
80 miles. Now We are looking for
ward to one-cent postage which will
carry a letter to any United States
possession.
The Chicago postoffice daily re-
seipts are now larger than the re-
ceipts of the whole country at the be-
ginning of the Civil War. This coun-
try handles about one-third of the to-
tai postal business of the world. More
than 11,OOO,OOO.O0O stamps are used
each year, or more than 1000 per
capita. These stamps are all printed
at the government plant IN Washing
ton. Carrier service was recently ex-
tended to small cities.
The business of the department is
managed by the postmaster general
and four assistants. The postmaster
general is in direct communication
with the President. Recommendation
for changes are incorporated in his
annual report The first assistant
makes all appointments; the second
assistant overs pes transportation;
the third assistant looks after finan-
cial affairs, and the fourth assistant
has charge of supplies and the star
and rural routes.

THE PosTOPFICE DEPARTMENT.

The growth in almost every line of
endeavor and industry has been so
rapid in the United States that we
are prone to look upon present meth
ods as a matter of course. We accept
what is and forget what has been. A
review of the Postoffce Department,
the largest of it's kind in the world,
will uphold this contention.

FEDERAL BRIEF is FILED
IN SUIT TO DISSOLVE POOL
Government Alleges Violation of
Antitrust Laws by Transat-
lantic Steamship Companies.

The government brief in the anti
trust suit to dissolve the so-calfed
transatlantic steamship pool has been
filed in the Supreme Court of the
United States by G. c. Todd. assistant
attorney general in charge of antitrust
prosecutions. The case is upon appeal
from the federal court in New York.
In its brief the government says that
practically all the steamship companies
in the north Atlantic steerage trade are
in combination in respect to steerage
rates, have divided territory, appor-
toned the business among themselves
and made use of fighting ships" to
drive would-be competitors from that
field.
The government contends that the
law applies to ocean transportation as
well as other forms of business, and a
combination to restrain or monopolize
transportation between United States
and foreign ports cannot escape because
formed in foreign country.
