Mr.. BURLESON APPROVES
|ONE-CENT LOCAL POSTAGE
Postmaster General Sends Letter to
Chairmen of Committees on
P. O. in Congress.

Approval Of pending bills in Con-
gress to reduce the rate of local first
class drop-letter postage to l cent an
ounce has been given by Postmaster
General Burleson. He has directed
letter to the chairmen of the postal
committees of Congress approving the
Dial-Madden bills, providing TOR
one-cent first-class mail rate WITHIN
the postal limits of the office OF mail
ing.
This means that any sealed first
class letter weighing not more than
one ounce will be delivered to its
destination in the District of Columbia
il mailed within the jurisdiction OF the
city post office for l cent instead OF
cents
Representative Madden of Illinois
has introduced bill in the House, and
Senator Dial of South Carolina has In
troduced a similar bill lnthe Senate
providing for this reduction, to extend
over the whole postal system. 1t has
been contended that a reduced rate on
drop letters would serve greatly to
stimulate business. Recent events are
cited in favor of this contention. Dur
ing the war and until July 1 last the
rate on letters was cents and on
postal cards cents. Since the reduc-
ton in the rate the total revenue has
exceeded that returned under the war
time rate.
Mr.. Burleson says 1.-The postal service
do SO would make it a form OF taxa
ton"
The postal committee has been asked
to take favorable action on the drop
letter measure in time to include its
provisions in the annual postal appro-
priation bill. which will be taken up
by Congress on its converting next
week.
