SUNSHINE POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT LACKS MANAGEMENT Postmaster General Without Know ledge of the Subject Falls Into Error. The proposition of the postoffice department to raise the price on second-class matter strikes every farmer and working man in the entire coun try, as It Increases the price of pub lications of all kinds. It would seem that it would be better to stop some of the leaks in the management of the postoffice and scale down the amount paid railroad companies in access of a reasonable transportation charge. The second-class rate should remain, as it brings to the miner, the farmer and the laborer what, to them, Is a great boon, abundance of cheap and good newspapers. They cannot take a university course and the next beBt thing is the technical and general newspaper. The post- office department has been a mis managed institution for at least half a century, and It Is high time that a reform be commenced which will place It on the footing with other rorms of government. Arthur Wal lace Dunn, who Is one of the leading correspondents at the national capi tal, writes as follows on this subpect: The answer of congress or that part of congress which look into and deals with postofflce affairs to the demand of the postoffice department for an Increase in the rate on second class matter, Is a proposition to re organize the postofflce department on a business basis. Postmaster General Hitchcock, without knowing anything about the subject, ruphed into the trap laid for him by somebody in the postofflce department and carried President j Taft with him In a raid upon the a Inquiry Into the subject of second- clnss rates n postal commission, con- s st nir nf ..nrn.,. v,- i sireet. nmi in the senate bv Senator Carter, and which provided for ih.. compl te reorganisation of the post- orrieo department on a business basis, j That was the answer at that time to certain underllnm of the posoff.-. department win. demanded that the I second-class rate should h lnrrenrd. j It Is Inter,-. -v... t ,,, (!n;U )s (,io : answer to the present demand. ' "What We ,, d." ;,!,. j?e.,tr,r ntte.-. , ,,, ,,,( ,,,,, vV.-rfoffl,,,, narf". n- .oi a w.-rLlic b.isU -rd t'l'-v : ' i",ed i' . w ti,i 1, nlMV .,,, ; vess ..f tr.tr .'.ortattoi and Inn ' do- there is any necessity for a deficit I and then to discover how it can best; be remedied. There are a great many people who believe from all tnat nas been said on the subject that there would be no necessity for a postal deficit If proper business methods were employed in the postofflce de partment. That was our conclusion after an investigation tasuag than a year, in which the best expert accountants who could be found were employed to look into the business methods of the postoffice department. "When that bill was introduced no one seemed to take any Interest In it. It fell flat. Neither the pub lishers nor the newspaper men nor anyone else seemed to care anything about It. Now that the subject of second-class rates has been revived and an effort made to Increase the rates, it Is possible that more Interest may be taken in the bill. I have con sulted a number of the leading pub lishers on the subject, and I believe that they will not take an Interest in having this bill passed. "I will be glad to have suggestions from anybody on the subject, so .hat if there are defects in the bill they may be remedied, and the bes: possi ble legislation for the postofflce de partment and the people assured. There is no disposition on the part of congress to punish anybody or to do anything that will disturb established business conditions, but if there Is Big O J? OfEE Distribution For the Next Month I have in stock a big lot of new Furniture of all kinds, which I want to distribute all over this sec tion, and I will do it if Low Prices will move the goods. We have the Goods and the Prices are Right As a further inducement I will GIVE AWAY FREE A HANDSOME COUCH. Every dollar spent for furniture gets a couch ticket, and some one gets the couch absolutely free ; and I will also deliver it to any part of the city. You may be the lucky one.
