POSTMASTER suRLEsoN ALSO
VIOLATES LAW SAYS MADDEN.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-(Special cor
respondence) )-Disregard OF plain
provisions of law and excessive pay
ments for aerial mail service are
charged by Representative Martin B.
Madden in an interview discussing
contracts entered into by the Post
Office Department. Mr.. Madden, who
is one of the best informed men in
Congress on matters relating to the
postal service, quotes the following
provision of the laws authorizing es-
tablishment Of aerial mail service:
"That the Postmaster General may
contract with any individual, firm or
corporation for an aeroplane mail
service between such points as he
may BEEN advisable and designate, in
case such service is furnished at a
cost not greater than the cost of the
same service by rail, and shall pay
therefor out of the appropriation for
inland transportation by railroad
routes"
Mr.. Madden asserts that in viola
ton of the limitations of this provi-
sion, Postmaster General Burleson
mas COuLTdClcu lOT d0EOplduc 6oTNlCc
between New York and Chicago, via
Pittsburg, the service to cost $23s,000
whereas the same quantity of mail
could be carried by rail for less than
$35,OOO, showing, an excessive pay
ment to the amount Of 100000 SINH
lar contracts, with excessive costs in
proportion, are charged to have been
made for service between New York
and Atlanta, and New York and St.
Louis, the total Of the excessive costs
amounting to more than 100000.
Another feature of Democratic pos
tai service is also called to attention
by Mr. Madden-the failure of the
postal service in the last few years to
find addresses where there is some
slight defect in the address. 1t used to
be. the pride of postal employees to
get letter to the proper person even
if the writer had inadvertently made
some unimportant mistake.
For instance. in the old days of
postal efficiency, letter addressed
to "Willow Springs, Mo-. with the
mo" very indistinct, would have
been examined closely and the abbre-
Walton of the state discovered. and
the letter sent on its way. Under the
Burlesonized service, the letter was
The Delta independent., 1920-10-22

sent back and the evelope has been
preserved as proof that the address,
although indistinct. was clear enough
If the morale of the service had not
been demoralized by the adoption of
the old days Of Republican policy of
deliver the mali, letter addressed
to ''Groenville, Ohio" there being no
such office in the state. would have
been sent to "Greenville, Ohio, there
being such an office, and the address
being manifestly a clerical error.
These instances are illustrations of
the break down of what ought to be
the best public service in the world.
They are average instances of re-
turned letters-not the extreme case
of having a letter returned from
Sioux City, Iowa, when it had been
correctly addressed to Sioux Falls,
South Dakota. or an equally extreme
case of having a letter come back
from Paris, France, when 1t had been
correctly addressed to Paris, Texas.
Mr. Madden's conclusion Is that
"You should have careful painstak-
ing, highbrow correspondents. II
you receive letters from the common
herd, you must take your chances"
1t would seem to follow, also, that II
you happen to be one of the common
herd, and send the letter yourself. you
should vote for return of an efficient
administration II you want the letter
to be safely and surely carried to Its
destination.

Before discussing the main features
of the work accomplished by the last

the only two criticisms have heard
of my work there. 1t is enormously

quarantine being placed on the alfal-
ia hay in parts of Delta County.
Regarding the quarantine law under
which DR.. Gillette of Fort Collins is
enforcing the alfalfa evil quarantine
in certain parts Of Delta and Mont
rose Counties, its historys is this;
This bill was introduced in the Colo
RADIO Senate by Senator Schermer-
horn of Montrose before any weevil
was known to exist in the state. 1t
made 1t possible for the state ento-
mologist to quarantine certain parts
of the state when pests should be
found that would spread to other
sections. 1t was passed to take care
of some pests that were spreading
over eastern Colorado. This bill was
passed by a Democratic Legislature,
and signed by a Democratic Cover

to do with 1t, least of all, myself
Fact is. didn't even know such a
law was in existence until the quar-
antine was placed on the Paonia sec
tion of Delta County. It might be Of
interest to know that own a ranch
in the center of this quarantined area
at this time and I certainly would not
go out of my way to have a quaran-
tine put on myself. The bill I pre-
sented and by the help OF other far
mers succeeded in making a law. was
an appropriation bill providing for an
annual appropriation Of 900 a year
to be'used to assist farmers in finding
methods OF control and eradication
for the alfalfa weevil and to fight the
poison milk week which works such
havoc among our stock each fall. My
political opponents have either care
lessly or purposely confused these
two bills to try to make 1t appear that
am working against the farmers, or
rather against myself.
