The Springdale News: Springdale, give 1t and give 1t rapidly, condl- tions would develop which de- manded both attention and consid eration. If. therefore, 1t became evident in operation that by care ful inquiry more could be accom- plsihed than was being rendered. 1t was clearly the duty of those in control to investigate condi- tions with a view to possible bet terment. "The greatest good to 1 the greatest number must ever be the motto of wise and success tul administration, and officials can only hope to win public ap- Iproyal when such motto governs their administrative acts.
 The Policy and Purpose of the
 Department.
 It has been the policy and the purpose of this administration to make of the rural delivery and its partner in public benefit, the parcel post, all that its most san guine projectors hoped to accom- plish. The Postmaster General is deeply interested in both, and has used to the utmost the great powers of his office and his per sonal influence as well to pro mote in every possible way these two great factors in our national life. He wants the man away from the greater advantages Of commercial opportunity 10 have an equal chance with lis more favored brother in the cities, and gain for his industry, whatever 1t may he. the fullest measure of benefit that government can be- stow. To this end the energies of the Department have been dl- rected, the wsest icounsels sought and the greatest personal atten- tion given. As important postal centers provide an easy market for the products of the farm and the rate of postage is reduced by the extension of local zones. motor delivery was esta blished. whereby exchange was stimulated between producer and consumer. and both from these important =eenters will be, and have been, doubled; still others established, and the fam lilies tributary 10 these centefs thus enabled 10 take full advant- ages of this enlarged opportunity to market the products of their industry to the best advantage.
 The administration expects to greatly widen and still further improve this public benefit and advantage until all sections and all localities where rural service can be made operative shall have these eonyenienceS afforded them and have them generously y maln- tained. Petitions for service are no longer necessary. The recom- mendation of the postmaster brings an inspector who goes oy- CT fhe ground, and if service can be made at all effective, 1t will al once be given. No conSidera- tions of administrative economy. no mere saving of money by mls- crIy methods or pafSlnonloHs process. is to stand in the way of any benefit which the rural delivery can give or wise public policy can sanction. The com mon people, upon whom the bur dens rest and upon whose toll the nation $ prosperity is built. are to have their share of Govern ment favor in full measure re- turned to them and every aid 10 the furtherance of legitimate cn- terprise and effort secured 10 them by performance and by practice

ties have been established and
 extended on mail routes in more than ten thousand localities, giv-
 ing service to approximately 2
 500,000 patrons heretofore denied
 this benefit. Six hundred and fifty-eight thousand families were
 added to the list from April, 1913
 to April. 1916. The elimination
 Of useless and wasteful methods
 have made 1t possible to de this
 and also pay out $4.o00,000 more 10 employees at an actual inereas- ed cost of less than Sl 100000 per annum.
 For twenty years there had
 been no readjustment of vast amount of rural service. It was allowed to remain exactly as #experimentallF established. Con sequently all sorts of special priv Iege had crept in and was found existing. such as double daily ser vice to favored localities, unnec- essary retraees to one family and not to all. duplication of travel by two or more carriers over q single highway. only one of whom performed service thereon, and many other similar forms of waste and eXtravagance. There was also neglect shown as to=the value of the work performed by the carriers. They were paid solely upon the miles of road GOV cred. regardless of the character thereof the equipment necessary, the amount of mail carried the hours of service rendered. This was as unjust and discrimin- atory in the payments made as 1t was in tile distribution of mail facilities. Both needed remedy and the remedy was applied. and who shall say that injustice was done to anybody2
 Measures of Reform Introduced.
 The introduction Of any meas lure so nearly allied to the peo- pie and whose growth has been So surprisingly rapid must nat0r- ally be attended with more or less imperfection, which only practical inquiry into operation could fully disclose.

Surely the slight delay fl might occasion to ole or several patrons should meet with little or no objection when 1t was shown that this had been the means of obliging many others with at least q single de livery who previously had none whatever.
