F. B. MADDOX,
Meadow, Ga., June Ith, 1924,
Congressman Bellas Speech
Below is the speech of Hon. Thos.
M. Bell, made in the House of Rep
resentatives, Washington, Monday,
June 2, 1924, on the Postoffice Sal
ary Bill, (S. 1898), reclassifying the
salaries of postmasters and em
ployees of the Postal Service, and
adjusting their salaries and compen
sation on a n equitable basis, and for
other purposes:
‘•Mr. Speaker, it will be, of course,
impossible for me to discuss the
merits of this bill in the time allot
ted. I take it for granted, however,
that the Members of the House are
thoroughly familiar with the con
tents of the bill. It provides an in
crease in the entrance salary from ■
$1,400 to $1,700 per annum and aj
horizontal increase all along the line.
It provides increases for rural car
riers and for third and fourih class
postmasters.
“There is an expense attached to
this bill of $64,000,000 which is not
provided for, as a matter of course,
in the bill. There must be some pro
vison made to meet this extra ex
pense, but it was not beleved by
your committee to be in the pro
vince of the Committee on the Post
Office and Post Roads to provide
the ways and means .for this expen
diture. We confidently expect in the
future that the Appropriations Com
mittee, clothed with this authorty,
will take into account the necessity
of raising the revenue provided in
this measure if it becomes a law.
There was some suggestion made in
the committee to recommend in
creases on rates in all classes of
mail, but this could not be done in
telligently at this time, and it can
not be done satisfactorily until the
Post. Office Department has com
pleted its investigation of the cost
to the Government of the transpor
tation of all classes of mail, so as to
determine what increases would be
equitable and fair to the Govern
ment and to the people.
“t is not definitely known how
much the Government is losing on
the different classes of mail matter.
It is known, however, that the Gov-
ernment is losing a large sum an
nually on second class matter. I am
opposed, in any event, to a material
increase in parcel post rates, be
cause this service has not as yet
reached the proportions to which it
is destined, besides the service was
primarily inaugurated for the bene
fit of the people in the rural sec
tions, and it would not be just and
right to impose the bulk of the fund
necessary to meet the “equirements
cf this bill upon this particular ser
vice, as has been suggested by some
cf the proponents of the measure.
“The Post Office Department of
the United States is the biggest bus
iness .institution on earthy and it
ought, as far as possible, be made
?«!f anUii'ing.
‘ fb« • rtsl rerelpts o'. the Post Of

“If this department is to be made
self sustaining, there must be in
creases made on all postal rates, or
a reduction made in expenditures,
and the latter might result in a poor
er mail service. My observation is
that the people throughout the coun
try want the best mail facilities pos
sible and are willing to pay lor it,
but they do not want one class of
mail carried at the expense of an
other. Each class of mail should
bear its just proportion of the
transportation cost. If discrimina
tion is made, it should be in favor
of parcel post matter, because this
particular service benefits the thous.
ands of farmers and smaller busi
nesses in the country. If these rates
are materially increased, it will be a
burden to those people for whom this
service was primarily intended to
benefit.

would surely be met by the buyer
and patrons of this service, as the
I large catalogue houses and other
I business concerns add to the price
|of their wares the extra cost of
' transportation. The consumer in this
i case, as in almost all other cases,
j bears the burden.
The rural delivery of mail is the
greatest blessing ever brought to the
people of any land or country. It has
brought the country in close touch
with the towns, cities, and business
centers of this great commonwealth.
In some sections of the country a
farmer may read his morning daily
paper at the breakfast table, while
nearly all may have the morning
news from the entire world by the
noon hour of each day. This service
has grown more rapidly than any:
other in postal activities, and the J
day is fast approaching when but •
few, if any, of our citizens living in j
the remotest corners of the globe |
may not have the benefit of this
great service.
“There are 44,629 rural mail car
riers in the United States, and these
men are among the best citizens in
the country and spread sunshine
throughout the nation.
~ “The total appropriation for ru
ral service for the fiscal year end
ing July 1, 1923, was $82,587,859.
The number of miles traveled by the
carriers for this year was 1,202,193
and the average length of the routes
was 26.9.
“The next greatest benefit to all
the people is the wonderful develop
ment of good roads and State and
Federal highways. The States in this
great Union of ours making the
greatest progress are those which
have the best system of hignways.
It is refreshing to see the whole peo
ple interested in better roads, which
is a great stimulant for better school
buildings and better churches. These
activities should be encouraged by
the law makers of all the States and
Federal Government to the end that
all the people may become prosper
ous, contented, and happy.”
SAVING MONEY
WITH ELECTRICITY
With the increased interest in
farming and farm living from the
efficiency standpont, there is a
great tendency on the part of the
farmer to ask whether k proposed
improvement will pay.
It is interesting to note that some
of the modern improvements do
pay directly through the dollars and
cents savings they effect.
Take for instance the matter of
the electric vacuum sweeper. A cer
tain hotel keeper in a middle west
ern state found that the carpet, in
a hotel reception room, which was
cleaned by hand sweeping and an
occasional beating, had .to be re
moved every three years. He install
ed vacuupi sweepers and found that
his next carpet lasted for seven
years instead of three.
This will appeal to the farmer’s
wife. Fortunately, the electric
sweeper is at her service today
through the development of the in
dependent electric light and power
plants for farms. She can enjoy to
the full the comfort and conveni
ence of electric light and electric
power.
SINGING AT ALCOVA.
There will be a singing at Al

It is a finish in itself when used
