Hitchcock's card index system cuts post office costs
Postmaster General Hitchcock uses the card index system in managing the Post Office and has cut another million dollars from its appropriation. Total savings reach five million since January 1, with a forecast of ten million in savings for the year and a potential five and a half million deficit versus fourteen and a half in 1909. Critics in Congress push back, but Hitchcock persists, aiming for a self supporting department by 1911 as Taft's administration gains ground.
