Postal Costs Highlight Private Monopoly Graft
The Sacramento Bee argues President Roosevelt will not curb rail monopolies harming the postal system. Railroads reportedly earn about $43,000,000 yearly for mail transport, with post cars rented to the government. Postal rates are high, causing Mail carriage to yield large profits for railroads while the Post Office ran a deficit over $8,000,000. Wheat by rail from Chicago to New York costs far less, underscoring alleged postal graft.
