Rent Buildings From Government and Share the Profits Could Save 3100,000,000 Annually. Washington, Nov. 27". -Undo Snmi mil bo aksed tomorrow to turn over to- a syndicate of capitalists tlio conduct ot tlio postal business. Tho jointcornmtb tco of congress investigating postal abases and intrusted with recommend ing, reforms, which has been in session in Now York, resumed its meetings to day, and tomorrow. W. J). Boyco, ot Chicago, will go beforo tile commiuocv wiUl a bonafldo offer made by substan tial capitalists to tnko over from tho government the postal business nnd re lieve it of all tho grcatexpeneoawncneu. Tlio offer has several objects, it m true that capitalists have been found who behove that money am be made by a monopoly of the po?tnI business. Whereas the government has failed to rnttfce the Postofllco department a pay ing, institution, tho capitnlists believe that by tho introduction ot business methods they can put tlio department upon a dividend paying basis. Wells- Fargo Express company saw enough money in the monopoly to offer tho government a bonus ot $1,000,000 a year If permitted to run the postoffice. The proposition is presented in good faith and will serve the double purpose of emphasizing with the public the fact that there are capable business men in the country who believe that they can give the people penny postage and an excellent service, as good as that per formed by the government. The offer will have the effect of showing to tho people that these business men, who will give satisfactory bond, will guaran tee to give the patrons of the postofheo reduced postage rates, which the de partment officials unite in reporting the government cannot afford to do. The proposition, broadly stated, is tlutt the government shall withdraw from the field of controlling a public utility and sliall place the business of transporting and delivering the mail in private hands, as the express business is today conducted. The capitalists who are willing to-assume the burden will pay the government rental for tho postoffice buildings all over tho country and will elinrge the government regular rates of postage upon jts mail, which is now carried free under frank and penal ty stamps. Mr. Boycc said in part: , "A careful comparison of rates of postage now cltarged on first and second class-matter, with the rates herein pro- - posed to be put in force will readily demonstrate that it means an average saving for the next 20 years to the gov ernment and general public of $100, 000,000 annually.
