A mini mum of 15 pouches of mail'if carried on. the trips, which at a fair valuation for the service per formed should not the road $3.0( a day or $930 a year. Instead of this sum or anything approx imating it the Government, through the Post Office Depart ment, pays the road the inade quate amount of $242.96 net. One passenger in the space occu pied by the mail paying the reg ular fare for the trip would nel the road $54C.00. The mail service is a preferred one and the exactions imposed on roads engaged in its transpor tation are many and varied, Any infraction of the rules laid dowi! by the Post Office Depart. ment is visited by substantial fines. In face of this the De partment oppresses and tyran nizes over the little railroads anI reduces their pay to a mere pit tance. Within a short time the mai will be weighed on our southerr roads to determine the average amount to be paid for the nexi four years. A fair and reason able adjustment of this would h< to divide the weight of the mai carried on six days by six, s< that the road would get paid foi the mail it actually carries bul Mr. Hitchcock's political ma chine, against precedent ani fairness, proposes to divide the six day service by seven thereb3 still further reducing the pay oj all our little struggling railroads Whatever political infiuenc our people are able to exert witt their representatives in Congresi ought to be utilized with a viem of changing the law so that i will be impossible for the pos office department to discriminat against the short tines.
