Leaks That N eed Plugging (The Hailey Times) It would be futile to even attem pt to list one percent of the methods involved to siphon money out of Uncle Sam ’s pocket, which the taxpayers must pay right down to the last dime. But we know a little about one way, because we happen to be on the receiving end of th e siphon. True, our share is very small, but it all adds up; and for some folks in the publishing business it’s a nice plum indeed. We refer to the antiquated system , started not long after the birth of the Nation, w hen it was thought necessary’ to encourage publications by giving them special postage concessions. As a result, most publica tions in the United States have p art of the cost of dis tribution paid for by the taxpaying public. For example, all copies mailed to subscribers w ithin the county of publication are postage-free. Sure, it’s quite a saving to all new spapers, but is it fair to the ta x payers? We think not. Is there any good reason w hy I should help pay for the free delivery of th e Hailey Times exam ple, to a neighbor’s home, or w hy th a t neighbor should help pay for the free delivery of the Hailey Times to Blaine county subscribers? But an even larger drain on postoffice funds is the handling of countless tons of “ju n k ” m ail at rates far below cost. This is the unw anted, unread, unloved 4th class mail which is found cluttering up th e postoffice floor every day. It’s m ostly advertising of some sort: cigars, neckties, binoculars, silverw are • . . th e list is endless. But you, as an income tax payer are helping pay for this flood* of ju n k mail, w hich is charged very low postage rates. A nother big reason w hy the Postoffice D epartm ent is raising fees right and left, and curtailing services w ith a reckless disregard of th e public w elfare is the tons of postage-free mail pouring out of governm ent offices every day. Much of this is also ju n k mail w ith the low est possible interest to the general public . . . but it takes as much tim e to handle, and as m uch room in the mail sacks as th at paying postage. It’s postage-free to the governm ent bureaus but it’s not w ithout cost to the ta x payers. Why they call the head of o u r postoffice d epartm ent a "G eneral” is unknow n to us; unless it’s because they follow the old arm y game of ignoring the rules of effi cient business practices, and have a propensity for tackl ing problems hind-end-to. O ur P. M. G eneral would solve the postal deficit by jacking up the price of first class and a ir m ail stam ps, which are the only two kinds of mail paying its own w ay now; plus curtailing vital public services. At the same time, truckloads of catalogues are distributed at a loss, and publications, from little ones like the H ailey Times on up to Life, Time, R eader’s Digest and even Confidential are not paying th eir fair share of the post age. But the millions pour out like w ater through a sieve when it comes to “ju n k " mail; and no postage w hatever on the millions of sacks of governm ent mailings! Isn’t it ridiculous? But G enerals have never been known to pay any a t tention to the opinions of privates, or of taxpayers; so don’t look for any changes. It would be the heighth of optimism to expect any business m anagem ent logic to find a welcome in a general’s tent, the P.
