ing. The Philippines is another case
in point; the rural free delivery is yet
another. But the nation gladly pays
the deficit, On account of the vast So
cial benefits.
The only sound principle upon which
a great government department has
been and should be established Is 10
perform such functions toe nation
that are SO general in their social eff
fects and benefits as to become a prop
er charge against society as whole
the benefit to society as a whole be-
ing UNNECESSARILY greater than the in
cidental benefits to any individual. In
the light of such a principle-which is
clearly recognized-the cost of the de-
partment of agriculture, and the in
terror, and commerce, and labor, stands
forth in its real relation and justifica-
ton. And the postoffice department
Is not a whit different from them in
relation to the American people.
1t is this principle that is the pri-
mary and underlying foundation and
justification for the postal department.
The function grows and extends with
the need. The postal system Is vast
intellectual, as well as economic, high
way. IL 10 Lhc UGlWecu !,
1t is the high road by which is inflated
the production of our national wealth.
In an illiterate country postal system
might be subsidy to privileged few.
In brisk, active-minded nation of high
lfteracy and high energy such as this,
any step that tends to throttle postal
function by any means is direct blow
at the energy as well as the minds, of
its people.
Not Publishers Subsidy.
Newspaper and periodical postage
rates are no subsidy" to publishers
every political economist knows that
the freight or transportation charge is
passed on to and paid by the ultimate
consumer. Low postal charges are
then-if one loves the word subsidy
"a subsidy to readers, subsidy"
to every reading, writing, and thinking
American man, woman, or child. In
such sense our public schools are
subsidies; our police departments
are Subsidies" as are our paved
streets, our open roads, and great
highways of the country.
This postal question is essentially
nothing more nor less than a modern
parallel of the old toll road and free
highway question. In those days there
were people who argued that low tolls
or free highways were subsidy" to
the owners of vehicles, This needs no
argument in this day and generation
even to congressman who have voted
for this absurd so to 800 per cent,
newspaper and periodical postage law.
But for the present situation, let me
again express my appreciation of your
