Not only will this order cripple the service, but congressmen are
living in daily fear that another and more drastic order may be
issued by Postmaster General Burleson any day, which will result
in even more seriously curtailing the deliveryservice throughout
the country than the former one.
The deficit in the rural delivery service iast year was $40,000,-
000, and the postmaster general is said to be determined that this
deficit must be wiped out. He has made a proposal that the entire
rural delivery service be turned over to contractors, which would

wouid olherwiae hfivc- «i3s to the f-Het-that_an executivie or
der last year the postmaster general prebented Congress from
giving the rural free delivery carriers as niach of an increase a.s
Congress had intended.
Last year Ccngresa, following the e.\ample of every Congress
save one since 1897, when rurai free delivery was inaugurated,
raised the maximum pay of the carriers to $1,200. By an execwt-
ive order, however, Mr, Burleson qualiiied this by providing that
only those carriers should be entitled to the maximum whb not
only had routes of 24 miles, but who carriers at least 10,000 pieces
of mail per month, or 1,300 pounds of mail.
Few actions by Cabinet officers in this administration have been
so bitterly assailed as “usurpation of authority" and ‘■overrIui«g
the will of Congress*' as has this execc^ive order. So in addition
to throwing overboard his suggestion lor installing the contract
system for rurai free delivery, the house pcstoffice and post roads
committee reported a bill providing that the salaries of rural car
riers should be based on the mileage of their routes and nothiisfe
else. The bill as reported by the committee, and passed by the
House, fixed the salaries for different miieages, leaving absolute
ly no discretion to the department.
However, the bill failed because of the inability of the two
Houses to reach a satisfactory agreement as to the railmy maii
pay foatm’e, so the postoffice department will be bound by last
year’s bill instead of by this one, and the postmaster general has
made it plain that he will stand by his r.iiM.
