SAYS POSTAL RATE
CHANGE Is IMPORTANT
Rep. Will II. Wood Wants Local
Letter Rate Reduced From
Two Cents TO One.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Co

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Com-
menting on the proposition before
congress to reduce the rate of post
age from two cents TO one cent on
local delivery letters, Rep. William
r. Wood of Indiana today said that
it was a matter of such importance
as TO justify early action. At the
present time the two cent rate is
applicable to all sealed letters.
This rate is not an equitable
one" said Mr.. Wood There is no
sound reason why a patron of the
postal service should be required to
pay as much to send a letter TO his
next door neighbor as to a distant
point In fact a letter may now be
sent to England, Germany. Alaska,
Hawaii. or the Philippines for the
same amount as it costs for the de-
livery OF a local letter.
although the individual rate ia
not great on any one letter yet the
schedule of rates has never been
fixed properly according to our
American ideas Of making charge
for service performed. Postal eX-
perts inform us that the average
cost TO the government for handling
a local letter does not exceed one
fourth of a cent each; and further
under tine one cent rate the volume
Of mail will increase to such an ex-
tent as not TO affect the revenues.
In view of this condition there
should, in my opinion, not be any
further delay in enacting the re-
quired legislation providing a one
cent rate on local delivery letters.
Early in the session I introduced
a bill providing for a readjustment
of this condition but as yet the pos
tai committee has not seen fit to
report it, However, sometime ago
that committee held hearings on my
bill and others containing somewhat
similar provisions. 1t is under
stood that several members of the
committee feel disposed to favorably
report a bill at an early date. Should
this be done there seems little doubt
but what the measure Will pass
with little delay.
In considering a matter Of this
kind the enormous benefits TO be de-
rived by the millions of patrons OF
the postal service, and particularly
business concerns, should be kept
in mind. The parcel post rates are
fixed more on what ii actually costs
the government 10 make deliveries,
and the rates charged for handling
letters should conform 10 that idea.
If the adjustment was 70 he made
effective at this time it would act as
a great relief TO general business
because il would serve as a needed
stimulant to "a nervous condition"
