EXPERIMENTING

The Rural Mail Delivery Service
was established primarily of the
real accommodation of the citizens in
the rural communities and the peo-
pie directly or indirectly, pay for IL.
UP to the present time this service
mas been very satisfactory but the
powers that be in the Federal Post
Onice Department seem disposed to
experiment with this service in n
way that does not seem altogether
wise to just common men. In order
to make two million dollars do the
work OF seven and half million dol
lars they propose to revise mail route.
double routes and introduce automo-
Diles ~ the means of transportation
In this service. There are a number
OF clerks at Washington. just now
drawing good pay for revising the
carrier routes Of Ohio. with the idea
OF installing automobiles. the auto
mobiles to be furnished bv the car
riers OF course, and doubling up and
eliminating the routes, the purpose
IS to save money but we fail some
way to see just where the saving
comes in and If efficiency of the SER
vice consists in satisfactory service
TO the largest possible number Of
people we fail to understand how the
efficiency of the service is to be in
creased.
Two of these Auto routes have been
started out from station "H" Wash
lngton, ID. G. routes are respectively
5O.46 and 56.40 miles schedules arc
seven and seven and one half hours
On the shorter route the carrier has
been from 1h to 21h hours late each
Day and Is compelled to emplov a
helper who does the actual distribut-
ing OF the mail. The salary received
by this carrier for days of service
was $2l.0O while his actual expenses
for the same time on his route were
nearly $4,000. Not a very alluring
compensation for the ordinary honest
mani On the longer route the car
rier Was from 5 to hours late each dav
and runs his machine from SO to rs
miles per day on this 56 mile route.
The automobile is al right but un-
less the government is prepared to
pay salaries that will do more than
pay actual running expenses, we -.
thinking we snail be more likely to
have a continuance of rural mali de-
livery that Will actually serve The
people IL we continue under the pres
ent system.
Take Wauseon for an example the
plan would mean that the seven
routes out of Wauseon would be re-
duced to three or four. Three or
four of the present carriers who have
been serving the people in all kinds
of weather regardless of the condi-
ton Of the roads, would lose their jobs
Three or four men who can furnish
automobiles would be hired at sal
aries Of from $500 to $1,000 per
year. Its safe guess that there
would be few takers at these figures
In bad weather which unhappily we
can't eliminate, the service woud have
to be abandoned many times and the
probabilities are that routes over
other than auto roads would be discon
tinued entirely. We don't like the
"looks of it."
