Time Ripe for One Cent Letter Postage
Senator Burton of Ohio campaigns for a one cent letter postage rate in Congress. A one cent postage bill has been introduced by Senator Worton and Representative Weeks to take effect July 1. Burton argues the two cent rate since 1883 is outdated as population and correspondence have risen sharply. He cites carriage costs and suggests the nation deserves cheaper mail for citizens.
