Post Office Rate Reform Advocated by Edwin Madden

The annual report of the third assistant postmaster general Edwin Madden recommends advancing magazine postage to 4 cents per pound and restricting the 1 cent rate to newspapers. He argues 4 cents for nonnewspaper material, simpler administration, and relief for the public.

Rural delivery reaches only a quarter of intended territory, with second class abuses shrinking as reforms proceed.
