MAIL RATES SUFFICIENT.
RurIeson Seeks to Show That Roads
Get Enough Now For Their Services.

Washington, March s17-Postmaster
General Burleson yesterday announced
that he intended to carry the railway
mail pay dispute to the county and let
the people decide whether the railroads
are underpaid for their services in
carrying the mails.
The postmaster general opened his
fight against the carriers at the hear
ing on the ship lobby before the SEN
ate investigating committee yesterday.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, acting at
his suggestion, queried New York
editor on the facts he had to substan-
tiate an editorial that the railroads are
underpaid Mr.. Walsh used as a basis
for his examination a brief prepared
by Assistant Postmaster General Stew
art, in charge Of the railway mail SER
vice, which indicates that the carriers
are well paid for their services.
According to Mr.. Stewart, the trans
portation of the mails is similar to the
transportation of first class express in
every way. If the railroads in 1913 had
been paid for hauling the mails on the
same basis they were paid for. carrying
first class express, they would have re-
ceived approximately $4,000 less
from the government.

paid or that they are not receiving any

"The truth is the railroads are re-
ceiving for carrying the mails more than
q reasonable rate, and rates largely in
excess Of what they receive from ex-
press companies for performing similar
service for them.
"A few examples will make this very
clear. The first class express rate on
100 pounds between Chicago and Bos-
ton is $3.50. Fifty per cent Of ibis rate.
the amount which goes to the railroad
company for the carriage of the ex-

on the average for 100 pounds between
the same points is $2.s1, being $1.56 in
excess Of the amount which the rail-
road company receives for the ex-
press"
The assistant postmaster general OPP
poses the contention that the carriers
should figure the cost of hauling the
mails as they figure their passenger cost
He pointed out that much of the ex-
pense OF the passenger service is at
tributable to high interest and depre-
citation charges on costly terminals I'M
fit for mail business. He says:
.The Pennsylvania terminal in New
York cost over $1O0,00O,O0O; the Grand
Central terminal in New York $780,
100000; the Wabash terminal, 100000
900; the Northwestern terminal at Chi
cago, $25,0OO,O00 and the union station
at Kansas City. $40,00o,ooo. The mail
service has no interest in these.
"The pay to the railroads for the tis-
cal year 1915 for carrying the mails
transportation cost, and railway post
office car cost will aggregate $59.43S,-
416 This is at the rate of 23.03 cents a
car mile for the service. The interstate
commerce omission found the average
passenger car mile revenue to be 25.4a
cents for the railroads reporting in
1911. For 1912 it was found to be 24.9-
cents"

ing this than can be overcome In sew
eral years of careful culture.
When the soil is found dry. as de-
scribed above, the upper three inches
should be made fine by the use of the
hoe and steel-tooth rake: all rubbish,

At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled railroad
baggage. One day after delivering a
heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt
pain in the right groin. The suffering
increased and it was not long before
the young man noticed the swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia operations
with anaesthetics, ETC.. are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it
is a well established fact that many
rupture operations are not successful;
the bowel soon breaks through the
sewed-up opening and protrudes worse
than ever.
Afraid Of Operation.
Like most others Mr.. Pullen declined
to take the risks Of an operation: the
expense and loss Of time had to be
considered, too. Hoping he might get
little better encouragement, he went
to another physician, who, to his sor-
row, gave him even less hope. 1t was

his express business. The hard tasks
OF ordinary men were forbidden him.

which position he did not need to do
