Show That Postal Deficit The Joint Postal Commission in 1907 reported as follows: "It appears tv obvW to rqu're arnirienr trnt tho f rnct eflicjent ervi:e ca.n r.evi r e ctpecn-J a lunz as the dilution of the bmn L, is aX ptwnt, intrusted to a Fotma3tT-Gf"u ral rd rrt n s.Mist.-nt.. nWti without with-out .pul refervncf to npiT.' r c find rjuilificati jna and FubjTt to ftqut'nt clu.v.

The public accountants' report said: 'The work of th DfPKrtmrnt rnd its drveb-pment (s hindered all along the line by slavish adlierrnco to old methods and to precedents ci-:ited in previous years, and many reforms which micht oth-rwi.-e be instituted aro hindered If not entirely preventl by appeals to the decisions of the ComptrolUr, made, perhaps, many years ago under entirely ditlrrvr.t conditions. Then, again, the conservatism of Government officials Is a generally admitted fact. There L no inducement to employees to Bugest improvements in the orvicc for the n-aon that if th(ae improvements r-sult in Rn-aWr effxiency or economy of administration thiy will receive little credit; and, on the other hand, if nw methods are not successful they will bo charged with tho v. hole bUmo." view of these official statements by those whom Congress authorized to investigate in-vestigate the Post-Office, we submit that the Postmaster-General's attempt to wipe out the deficit in his Department by raising the postage on your magazines, instead of by devoting his energies to securing legislation that will place the service on a sound, efficient effi-cient and economical basis, is umvise and unbusinesslike. The nature of his recommendations, recom-mendations, and the attempt to exempt newspapers from any increase, are final grounds for a divorce of this great business department from politics.
