o personal study Of the problem, and
as O result on February s of this year
I shared with Representative James
M Mead of Buffalo, N. Y, chairman
Of the Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads Of the House of Represen-
tatives, the honor of introducing
bill which carries out the direction
of President Roosevelt and outlines
a system whereby, if it is enacted INTO
law, poStmaSterS IN the future Will
be selected on the merit system.
Once appointed, they will serve dur
ing good behavior. When it is con-
sidered that the post-oftice sys-
TEN of the United States constitutes
vast financial organization, as well
as a ramifying system of distributing
mail and parcel post. the Importance
of adopting the merit system Will be
easily realized. The revenues of the
department last year exceeded $780,
900 900. In $780, before the depres-
sion began to make itself felt. the rev.
enues exceeded s700,000,000. Domestic
money orders we're issued last year
having Il total face value of more
than S7,784 100000 and the total bal
ance of postal savings on June 30.
1884. was $1.197,000000.
OF these huge revenues. amounting
to approximately 100000 1000 annually,
more than so per cent are derived from
the So largest cities in the country.
These are cities which have gross
annual revenues of 81 900 900 or more.
Under the bill which I have intro
duced. no person will be eligible to
appointment to such an Office unless
he has had four years experience as
a postmaster in an Office of the first
class, four years experience as bust
ness executive in private life, having
the direction of not less than $50 en-
ployes, or has had four years expert
ence as a supervisor or a post-office
inspector in the classified civil serv-
ice. BY means of this provision it is
hoped to secure the highest possible
executive and business experience for
the Offices which produce the bulk of
the postal revenues. 1t is my belief
that this method will result in i'm
provements and economies which will
increase the revenues Of the Post
Office Department and go far finally
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-02-12

class offices, because they are so small
that there are now ordinarily no civil
service employees In such offices. A
quarterly allowance Is made to third
class postmasters for clerk hire, and
such a postmaster may select his own
employees from his own community.
Because 1t was deemed desirable to
maintain a certain degree of local in
dividuality, and because 1t would be
an inconvenience to shift postal en-
ployes around the country to the
smaller offices, the requirement as to
local residence is maintained in the
bill which Representative Mead and
have introduced for all Offices having
annual gross receipts of less than
million dollars. But in these offices
there Is ample opportunity for the
promotion of those who are in the
postal service in subordinate capaci-
ties.
Gives Youth q Goal.
This measure opens the door to the
postal employees to rise to the most
important postmasterships in the coun-
try. II it is enacted into law, every
young man or young woman who
hereafter becomes a post office clerk

or carrier may feel that by merit he
can make service in the Post Office
Department a career which in the
end will bring him substantial re-
ward in the way of the salary paid
for postmasterships in the higher
brackets.
can testify from my acquaintance
ship with them that the men and wom-
en- who make up the vast army Of post
Office employes-and there are more
than $4,000 of them throughout the
country-are citizens Of the highest
type, men and women of loyalty, in
tegrity and ability, and am very hap
by to be able to say to them tonight
that from the very beginning of this
administration it has been the purpose
of President Roosevelt and of Post
master General Farley to develop a
system which would give them the
veiy broadest opportunity to rise in
the service. That opportunity, be-
lieve, is presented by this measure.
It will be welcomed by them.
The bill does not place the Post
master General nor his four assistants
within the civil service. 1t would not,
in my Judgment, serve a salutary

purpose so to provide. because every
administration should have the OPP
portunity of placing its own respon-
sible and trusted lieutenants at the
head of every Government depart
ment. The ideal Government service
would permit the changing of policy
directing officials as often as the peo-
pie desire q change of administration,
while retaining in permanent places
those civil servants upon whom falls
no responsibility for directing policies,
but who merely carry on the admin
istrative work of the Government.
This ideal is the basis upon which
the administration bill was drafted.
The measure is known as Senate
bill TIA and House bill 5453. 1t has
been referred to the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads Of both
the Senate and House, where it will
be subject to close study. Copies of
the measure are available at my office
or at the Offices of the secretary OF
the Senate, of Representative Mead
or of the clerk Of the House Of Repre-
SentatiVeS.
Your comment and criticism will be
welcomed.

and completely to establish 1t upor
a paying basis

and completely to establish it upon
a paying basis.
The Post ONCE Department ordi-
narily runs at huge deficit. To the
credit of Postmaster General Farley
it may be said that during the last
fiscal year, the first full year In
which he has had charge OF the de-
partment, the deficit for strictly postal
purposes has been turned into sur
plus. The Post Office Department mas
been used, and to my way OF thinking
without justification. as a vehicle OF
paving large subsidies to steamship
companies and to aviation companies.
Cites Subsidy Figures.
Last year more than $28 100000 was
paid out of the postal funds in ship
subsidies. In other words. the ocean
mail was carried at charge OF more
than S28,000,000 in excess OF what 1t
could have been carried for had 1t not
been for the subsidy system. In like
manner the excess cost of the airnail
over the revenues derived from the
sale OF airmail stamps was $12 1900
GOO. And in addition to that, free
mail carried for other Government
cost the Post Office De-
paltment in excess of $23,000,000.
When these non-postal items are de-
Quoted from the expenditures of the
postal system, one finds that under
Postmaster General Farley the ordi-
nary operations, the ordinary postal
operations, were paid for out Of the
postal revenues and a surplus was
left.
If the bill which Representative
Mead and I have introduced becomes
a law. all poStmasterships through
out the country of the first, second
and third classes. as we'll as Of the
fourth class, will be placed under the
merit system. The old device used by
President Taft of covering" incum-
bents into the civil service will not be
used. No postmaster will be reap
pointed without examination
am aware that the bill will be at
tached. Let those who attack re-
member this.
Persons in the Post Office Depart
ment in the classified civil service
may be promoted to become postmaS-
tiers of the first or second class. This
