Efficient and Effective.

Congress has made pets of the rurai
carriers from the beginning.
When rural free delivery started IN
1896, the carriers were PAID sSoo per
annum, and furnished their own
transportation.
Since that time Congress after Con-
gross raised their pa" until the "llte
among them are now getting Sl,eoo
year. on,
The great majority get a flat sl'2"2
annually The 81 500 aristoCracN are
the mon who make their deliverlhs ON
Motorcycles These cover more
ground because they travel faster.
tut on the other hand. they have easy
hours. and. their routes n"cesshIILS
beirp in rerions where the best high
WAYS exist have quite the hnest posts
in the service.
There isn't anything in the whole
Government organization more eit :
cient than the rural carriers p"ll'iCh
machine. Its effectiveness is best
attcsted bv the substantial results IL
has accomplished in Getting wages
iaised
Deliver the Goods.
Starting in 1896 at $500. the department
discovered that plenty Of carriers couid
be had at that figure. There Is testl-
monv that service could be had on most
Of the routes at that figure today
There is no doubt that at 500 there
would still be more applicants for places
than would be needed
But the rural carrier very quickly be-
came a politician. The country con-
sressman found that the carrier, having
constant opportunities TO 90 errdnus
and perform small services for his
clientele. was peculiarly 'solid,' with
the voters on his route. He could de
liver the goods" at the primary and
election If the Congressman was gem
erous and amiable toward the carriers.
he was likely to have their support: IL
he wasn't, he lost that support. and

with II all the votes they could infiu-
ence.
The loss of that support has meant
political death to a bunch of country
congressman. too. The rural members
dont care nowadays. to test the thing
out. Thev know.
Nobody in Kansas seriously questions
what II was, in 1914. that put the last
straw on Senator Joe Bristow's back
ana defeated him in his race for re-
election. The rural carriers did it.
Four Hours a Day.
Bristow rad been Assistant Post
master-General years ago; he had
learned abor. the carriers organization
and how 1t was used to get sala ries
raised Congress after Congress As
Senator, he was on the Postoffice Com
mitt"e. and he used his knowledge in
ways that the carriers organizations
regarded as highly unfriendly. The re-
suit was that they knitted him-a,
least. his organization and pretty much
everybody csc in Kansas charged that
III" did. He was defeated by a very
narrow margin.
In the beginnings. when the carriers
were paid 5000. and later $500. and then
500 year they covered long routes
and nobody charged that they had a
soft Thing As tn" network of routes
was perfected it became necessary to
nut in minr that were compa ra lively
short, requiring only few hours to
cover them. Put the short hour people
fought for the standard wage. and the
other day Mr.. Rlakslee told the Post
cfhce Committee that there were 1870
carriers who. according to their own
reports. worked an average OF less than
four hours per day. Many more thou
sands would come in a classificat ton
work ng less than six hours per day
But they all get the same. 81 200 a year
because the law requires it.
Incidents Cited.
Thousands of individuals in the
Tublic service are compelled to work
eight hours and more per day for less
than 81 zoe rer annum." exclaimed
Mr.. BlAkslce. and yet at Fulda,
Mimi, two rural carriers set forth on
record of the actual hours Of service
per diem last July that they work ed
hut two hoIrs and forty minutes AVID

by like records that carriers at Au-
r"ra and tatawba. w. Va, in the same
month, we're compelled I" work eleven
ours each per day, and yet they get
the same s1G00"
Last year the department.. begging
Congress for authority under which it
could remedy such inequalities as
these and make the pay reasonably
fit the service suggested contract
system. TT at idea shocked Congress-
because ii recalled the old days Of
star-route contracting grabs and
Congress made II an excuse for do
ing nothing. The department now
comes forward with a request for
some administrative Ieewav. so that
II may use horse sonsc in adjust ing
routes. hours. service. and ray. and
II is rumored that, instead Of permit
ting even this measure OF reform
there is danger that Congress will in
sert some proviso absolutely cor1pell-
ing that all the money appropriate ed
be spent. and making the administra-
tive reforms impossible.
