City to grant to the Oregon Water

company several weeks ago. because
the city refused to grant the franchise,

The House Committee on Post-Offices
and Post Roads has Just complet
ed the appropriation bill that will feed
the mall service of the United States
for the coming year. The bill Is one
of tho biggest and most Important ap
propriation bills of the session, car
rying, as it does an appropriation of
more than 1191,000.000. This Is great
er even than the Pension Rill and Is
one out of which the general public
will get vastly more service If not
satisfaction. The appropriation as
outlined cuts under the estimates of
the Departmopt, but it is figured by
the committee mat 11 is so iruiueu an
prlatlon for the coming year. Con
sidering the fact that the extension
of the rural free delivery service has
done more than almost anything else
except the telephone to make life In
tho country not-only endurable but
pleasant and has helped to stem the
rush of the country population to the
cUIoh, this Item may be considered a
Judicious expenditure.
There has not been a very large,
but still reasonable Increase In the
pay of tho lower grade clerks. An ap
propriation has been made to arbi
trarily raise the salaries of 6,000 of
them In tho grades ranging from $fi()0
to $1000. This may not be consider
ed as pure philanthropy either as It
was found that some addition to this
low range of salaries was necessary to
keep desirable men In the service.
The franking privilege has not been
entirely cut off as was recommended
In Postmaster General Cortelyou's
last report, but the sort of articles
franked has been much restricted and
there Is no longer any likelihood of a

Provision has been nyde for more
rigidly Inspecting the malls to see
that the railroads do not get more
than Is coming to them on the trans
portation of second class matter, and
all provisions seem to have been made
to Insure smooth working of tho great
system without undue extravagance.
The general features of the bill seem
to bo good, and tho department Is one
that is so closely In touch with the
public that any reasonable expenditure
for Its maintenance can hardly be
grudged.
