TALKS ONPOSTAL RATES

Equalization of Postal Rates
was the topic of a paper read last
night by DR.. M. R. Coulter at the
meeting of the Social Science club,
held at DR.. J. w. Andrews library.
The discussion which followed the
reading of the paper was led by j.
]. Flaschenhar.
DR.. Coulter discussed the history of
the postal system of the United States
comparing present postal rates with
those of other times. He referred at
some length to Postmaster Burleson's
activity in taking up the fight for the
space system" which is now in OPP
Grafton on nearly all railroads in the
country. The old methods of deter
mining the rate to paid a railroad
mails by the weighing of the mail at
Postmaster Burleson, and the actual
mail carried by railway from day to
day under the space system, deter
mines the fee to the railroad. The
speaker said that Postmaster Burle-
son has been criticized severely along
those lines as well as others. While
the space system saves money to the
department, there is great deal of
ueldy III the uduulluS VI Tie HALLS.
The mail which was formerly worked
during transportation, now is worked
at the starting point or the destina-
ton, thereby delaying delivery. DR..
Coulter said that in saving money to
the department in the way of trans
portation, Burleson has failed to pro-
vide adequate help at the terminals
for the handling OF mails with dis
patch. The remedy for the betterment
of the space system is more help at
terminals for the distribution of the
mails.
Handling of second class mail mat
ter, such as periodicals, was discuss
ed at some length. 1t was pointed out
that the government is handling this
class of mail at great loss.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
o. M. Hatcher. president; w. A.
Streator, vice president; E. S. Selle,
chairman of executive committee,
other members of that committee, J.
J. Flachsenhar, and o. NJ Hatcher
Secretary and treasurer, Rev. Ralph
A. Jensen. .
