POSTAL
RATE BILLS N
LOWER HOUSE
'0 Which the one by Stafford,
Of Wisconsin, Seems to
Have Much Merit.

WASHINGTON, Dec. -31.-8efore
Congress recessed for the holidays
twenty-one different bills bad been
introduced by its members providing
for a more equitable adjustment Of
the postal rates on first class mail
matter. Such strong demand is be-
ing made for a change in the exist
ing rates BY the small business peo-
pie, that It seems probable that some
definite action will be taken at this
session on one Of the many propo-
sitions that have been advanced.
Most Of the bills introduced propose
a straight reduction in the rate on
all local delivery letters from two
cents to one cent per ounce. The
friends OF the proposition offer the
argument that the proposed reduc-
'tion win not cause any falling or In

the subject the one drafted by Con-
gresham William H. Stafford, of
Wisconsin, who has served more than
ten years on the House postal COM
Imittee, differs in many respects from
other one cent letter postage bills in
that 1t recognizes the zone system
Of charging and also the principle Of
reducing the cost with increasing
units Of weight. 1t extends one-cent
letter postage to letters for local de-
livery within the confines OF the city
delivery district where the letter is
deposited> and also for delivery on
any rural or star routes emanating
from the Office where the letter Is de-
posted, or vice versa, for delivery
OF letters deposited on any rural or
start route for distribution in the
city delivery district Of the main Of,
fee from which the route starts, or
for delivery on any other rural or star
route emanating from the said office.
The rate OF postage on such letters is
one cent for the first ounce and an
additional cent for every additional
ounce and half.
Another principle feature Of the
stafford bill is that for all other first
class letter mail for delivery outside
the zone just described, though the
rate for the first ounce is the same as
at present. two cents, only one cent
additional is provided to be the rate
for each additional ounce.
While on the postal committee Mr..
Stafford has given extensive stury to
the question Of postal revenues and
expenditures and he firmly believes
that there is even large profit to the
government with the reduced rates
as provided by his bill. He said that
with the Inauguration, OF a one cent
local delivery postage the merchants
and people generally, who use the
mails SO frequently for local delivery,
will be induced to utilize the mails
still more by reason ofsthe reduction
Of the rate"
