House Approves Bill
To Control Free Mail
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Without discussion, the House
yesterday unanimously approved
and sent to the Senate a bill to
impose strict controls on the use of
postage free penalty" mail by ex-
ecutive agencies of the Government.
The bill, by Chairman Burch of
the House Post Once Committee
was drafted after extensive hearings
and carries out recent recommends
tions of the Byrd Committee.
Penalty mail is official mail which
carries in the stamp corner the
familiar warning: Penalty for pri-
vate use to avoid payment of post
age, $500"
The committee noted that penalty
mail for the fiscal year ending last
June 80 represented $120.180,056 in
estimated revenue at regular postal
rates, and declared the volume had
increased to such an alarming" ex-
tent that action was imperative
to prevent abuse.
The bill would require all Fed
eral agencies to account for all pen
atty mail envelopes and wrappers
received from the Postmaster Cen
eral. Each agency would be re-
quired to obtain from Congress an
appropriation to cover the Post
Once Departments cost of handling
their penalty mail, and deposit that
amount in the general fund of the
Treasury. Use Of the penalty mail
would be limited to that appropria-
ton.

we can win that way" He added

IF the Republican party in 1914
has the courage TO stand for convic-

but in the great process of keeping
this a free America it will make a
great contribution, he said.

Tax Institute Symposium here, said
an annual Federal budget of $40
000, ,0O0, 900 after the war, will be
necessary and asserted that whole
sale tax reductions are out of the
question if we are to maintain a

ductions as we can afford must be
applied in a way that will contribute
most to the maintenance of en-
ployment."
