innovation discouraged rather than
encouraged as was done by infiu-
ences in the city of Waxahachie.
Just what these influences were
and to what extent the postoffice
department was Influenced by them
is evidenced by a letter written to
the Hon. Frank Park, congressman
from Georgia, by Jas. /. Blakeslee,
fourth assistant postmaster gener-
al on December 2, 1915. In this
letter Mr.. Blakeslee makes the
statement, II have at hand state
mnet from the mayor of the city of
Waxahachie, the president OF the
Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce, requesting further ex-
tensions of the service" The state
ment refers to the establishment of
motor rural mail delivery. Mr..
Blakeslee did not state, as he could
have done, that at the same he had
on file in his Office number of

of the routes in Ellis county protest
ing at the change and urging that
they be not established. 1t may be,
as Mr.. Blakeslee seems to infer,
that the people of Waxahachie know
what is good for the patrons of the
routes better than the patrons them
selves know, but | hardly think So.
After the department had stated the
service would begin December 1st,
| understand representations por-
traying the conditions were made to
them which influenced them to de-
fer the installation of the service
to May 1st, 1916. This was indeed
a wise move and should have un-
doubtedly been done. If this had
been done the patrons would have
had an opportunity to state their
case and demonstrate to the depart
ment the impracticability of the
proposed service. l infer it was as
a protest against this delay that the
above statements of the Waxahachie
parties were made and | have heard

OF the farmers of the cotton growing

that the Chamber of Commerce even
went so far as to send committee
to Washington to urge the prompt
installation of the routes. In fact
in the report of the MONDAY lunch
con of the Chamber of Commerce
which appeared in the Waxahachie
Light on January 4th they deny that
they were responsible for the orig
inal Inauguration of the motor mail
service but after undue influence
were brought to bear to influence
the department to defer the service,
they were glad that they had been
successful in correcting what they
considered an injustice. If the Cham
Der of Commerce is glorying in its
success in this matter then they
have the sincere sympathy of every
man in Ellis county who receives
his mail on a motor route, not SYM
pathy with them in their accom-
plishmcnt but sympathy for them in
their shortsightedness If the Cham
Der of Commerce is indeed so zeal
Gus to see justice done then We in
vite them to assist the patrons OF
the routes in having the old service
restored, the only service which has
in satisfactory manner met the
demands for efficiency in the rural
mail delivery service.
Why is it the farmers do not
want the new service? Any one
who is interested can find out by
asking few of the patrons on the
routes. At least that is where !
got my information. In the first
place any mail service rendered is
measured above all by it efficiency.
The cost of operation is and should
be of secondary Importance No
doubt economy is large influence
operating to cause the postoffice de-
partment to consider the inaugura-
ton of the new service. Yet if in
order to achieve economy, the de-
partment sacrifices efficiency in the
postal business, they are undoubted-
ly pursuing very poor policy We
believe the WaXahaehie Chamber of
Commerce and other advocates of
motor routes will admit that this is
true. What then does it take to
produce efficiency in the rural mail
service? In my opinion those quail
tiles necessary to produce the high
est state of efficiency are:
First-Dependability and regulari-
ty of delivery. Mail delivered every
day to very box, rain or shine, sleet
or snow.
Second-The maintenance of some
sort of schedule by the carrier so
that he may be expected to reach
each box on his route at approxi-
rsately the same time each day
Third-That each route shall, so
near as may be possible, radiate from
the common trading point and the
common telephone center of the
greater proportion of the patrons
srved
There are other qualities, OF
course, but these, in my opinion are
most important. You can hardly
eliminate one without TO that ex
tent sacrificing efficiency.
Did the old system meet these
requirements satisfactorily? 1t
certainly did. Let us take for ex-
ample Red Oak. Route No. ?. which
