Madden AIMS rnE Am NAIL

nURING the discussion OF the Posto1ce Appropriation
~ Bin in the House Of Representatives few days ago.
Representative Martin B. Madden, OF Illinois, gave some
interesting information concerning the air mail service
Mr.. Madden is chairman OF the subcommittee OF the
General Appropriation Committee which has charge OF
the Posonce Appropriation Bill and during the debate
demonstrated thorough familiarity with all phases OF
the fiscal affairs OF the Postofnce Department.
Mr. Madden explained that the Appropriation Bill carries
soooOo for air mail service compared with s35OoOOo
asked by the Postonce Department The reduction was
because the committee believes that the air mail
service has practical in the transportation Of
mail and that whatever Value It may have in providing
opportunity for experimentation in alrpane operation
can be secured by the smaller appropriation as well as
by the larger.
That the air mail service is expensive than train
service is generally understood but Mr. Madden gave
figures which show the difference in the cost OF the
two services.
According to his statement II costs seven cents ton
mile to carry mail by rail- This is the charge under the
rates established by the Interstate Commerce Commission
An arplane VII 400 pounds, and the Posionce De
parment estimates that It costs 81 pane-mle to oper
the plane. Since it would require nve machines L
transport a ton Of mail, Mr. Madden reasoned that 4
would cost IS ton-mie to carry mail on an airplane
There is only justification for carrying any mai
by airplane," said Mr.. Madden "and that justification
found in the experience that may be obtained in tn
line that flies from New York TO san Francisco where
fly the machines In all climatic and altitudna conditions
and the experience OF flying through those conditions ma
be OF value from military standpoint at som
future period in history. But from purely mai
viewpoint do not think the expenditure is justified"
Illustrating the manner In which the airplane servic,
Is operated Mr. Madden said that the last train that
HS York city at night for Chicago leaves $40 p NJ The
Evening journal., 1921-01-21

presumption that that train takes all the mail available
up to $40 o'clock The air mail service would hercfore
take mail deposited in the postolce after SAC p NJ ana
leave for Chicago with 1t the morning The arpane,
however does not carry the mail clear through to CHI
cago but takes II TO Cleveland and transfers to the
train, taking other mail from the Cleveland tran
which man is carried to Chicago. There the mail is left
and other mail taken going to other point farther
west, and this process is repeated at nxed intervals
Mr. Madden asserted that while the letters expedited
In traversing part OF the route, yet in the end there Is
no actual saving OF time. The airpane from Chicago
leaves at o'clock in the morning and arrives in New York
about o'clock in the evening The letters would not be
delivered the night and since they must lie over
night in the New York postonfce and be delivered some
time the following day there is practically saving OF
time.
Mr.. Madden ntmsted that there is also considerable
loss OF time due to the fact that the flying fields are
often many miles from postoloes He believed that in
instances letter would be actually delayed rather
than expedited by transportation by the air route.
The Postonce Department has discontinued the use Of
arpane postage stamps and the arplane mail is made
up Of letters carrying two cents postage de-
posted in the regular mails.
