Free postal credit would erase large government deficit
A House committee report on the Post Office appropriation bill argues free mail from the government reduces the deficit. For six months ending December 31, 1906, open matter postage would total 2,286.27 dollars. the committee estimates 5.9 million dollars of mail is carried for the government annually without credit to the Post Office. The fiscal 1906 deficit was 10,000,000 dollars, and would be covered if federal free mail nationwide were fully accounted.
