Oregon State Eair Due On Schedule In Spite Of Fire The next time somebody asks you if you’ll deliver a message to a friend in another city, or down the block even, you’d better play safe and say no. Being helpful could cost you a; much as $500. That is, $509 a message. Carrying a message to Garcia or anyone else is apparently a federal offense, and there is a penalty for violation that can run as high as $500 for each unstamped "message in writing” that is carried. This interesting aspect of Big Brotherism was disclosed recently when a steel company in Colorado found mail service so unsatisfactory that it started delivering company memos and messages without benefit of the Post Office. To speed things up it set up its own pony express, an armored car that shuttled between the company headquarters in Denver and its plant offices in Pueblo, 120 miles away. Everybody was happy except the Post Office. Despite the fact that Washington is dead set against monopolies, and the Justice Department is constantly warring on monopolists, the Post Office has a pretty tight monopoly on the delivery of mail. Just how tight that monopoly is was learned the hard way by the steel company when it started to deliver its own messages. Postal inspectors moved in faster than any mailman ever had. Finally convinced that the steel men were just trying to improve their operating efficiency and were not trying to put the Post Office out of business, the postal inspectors made no attempt to toss anyone in jail. However, they figured out how many messages had been hauled between Denver and Pueblo and handed the company a bill for $2,000—for postage due. The steel men paid, and resigned themselves to the same service they had been getting from the Post Office, disbanding their pony express over the Rockies. Technically, it appears, the individual ha; the same out It’s all right to deliver a message to Joe Klotz in the next town, or to Danny the bartender in the neighborhood pub— so long as you first stop in at the Post Office, buy a stamp and have it cancelled. At least that’s what we understand from all this. Somehow we think it can’t be that simple. We’ll bet that before you’re allowed to make your appointed rounds you’ll be called upon to take a civil service examination or at least get a letter from a district leader or some other political nabob.— U.
