that region but they claim that no such reason for permitting private corporations to perform the governments functions exist at the present time and therefore the general system should again b enforced everywhere their principal specific argument against allowing the express company to carny carry letters is the governments liability to lose postage by reason of the enclosure of more than one half ounce of mail matter in any one of the three cent stamped envelopes which wells fargo co sell for five cents it being they say manifestly the interest of the company to sell as many envelopes
