Sapport Idea
Sell-
One of the strongest editorials
against the proposed contract
system for rural mail carriers is
the following from the Adrian
(Michigan) Telegram:
"In the discussion over the
plan of letting rural mail de
livery on contracts, we otten
hear the argument that the pres
ent service is bo expensive-that
it is not self-supporting, that it
is such a burden on the taxpay
ers, etc.
Welt, grant all that: what of
it?
The courts are not self-sup-
oorting. either, are they: The
Department of the Commerce
and Labor is not The Depart
ment of Agriculture is noL
Neither is the patent office, or
the geological survey.
W hat is the business of Govern
ment anyway - to sell service to
individuals al a profit, or to fur
nish service to the puolic at large
at the public's expense?
This idea or making a public
service self-supporting is a
handful of dust that somebody is
sure to throw into your eyes
whenever such a discussion comes
up. there is no reason under
the sun why rural mail delivery
ought to be self-supporting. If
it happens that enough stamps
and money orders are sold on a
certain route to pay the carriers.
well and good: but it is no special
advantage. If the stamps and
orders only half pay his salary.
the service is just as Important.
and the patrons are just as much
entitled to it. If the carrier
never took in a red cent, the pa
trons still would have a right to
demand that their mail be de
livered to them.
How about city mail carriers?
Are their routes self-supporting?
A city carrier brings in no reve
nue at all; but nobody would ar
gue that city mail delivery ought
to be made self-supporting.
Take any particular route, say
Adrian K. F. I). No. 1. If that
route concerned nobody but the
hundred of farmers living along
it, we might argue that these
hundred farmers should bear the
expense, nut mac is noi me
case. The delivery of mail on
Adrain R. F. 1). No. 1 is import
ant to people in Adrian, to peo
ple all over the county and state.
to people in every part oi tne
country. It is just as important
to the man in Oregon to be able
to get his letter delivered to a
farmer on Adrain R. F. D. No. 1,
as it is to the farmer himself to
be able to receive the letter.
That route is a part of the na
tion's machinery for doing busi
ness, and it belongs to the whole
nation. There is no reason for
trying to make it self-supporting
anv more than for trying to cob
lect tne expenses oi tne my nre
. . m a. I a
department from people who
have their tires put out.
The one end to work tor is ef
ficiency, and we are inclined to
think that the Government would
do better to try to improve the
present service, rather than to
replace it with a contract sys
tem."

WW. Death EasaH
Bagley &Hare last Friday se
cured a verdict in Yamhill Coun
ty awarding Mrs. Annie E. Gray
the sum of $4,000 for the death
of her son, James H. Gray, who
was killed while firing a locomo
tive, on the railway belonging to
the Carlton Consolidated Lumber
Company, at Carlton. May 8,
1914.
Mrs. Gray brought suit under
Chapter III of the Laws of 1911.
and sued for a much larger sum
than that awarded.
The plaintiff contended that
the company had been negligent
in providing a safe roadbed for
transportation of trains. At the
time of the fatality the engine
was running away. The engi
neer had sent young Gray to see
what was wrong with the sund
box, and no one saw him when
he either fell or jumned from the
runaway engine. Tne plaintiff
contended that as the engine was
rounding a 25 degree curve that
the big locomotive rocked so that
the young man lost his balance.
l he complaint also alleged use
of antique air-brake appliances
so that the engine could - not
properly be controlled.
It was also claimed that the
sandbox was defective.
The defense was unavoidable

Young Gray waa a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Gray, of this city.
and was well known here. He
was a thorough railway man.
and it is more than likely that he
lost his life through no careless
ness of his own. It is more than
probable that he was thrown off
while the engine was rocking in
its wild run down the grade.
