The rural routes were established
for the benefit of rural homes, or in
other words the farmers. They have
proven a greater benefit and blessing
to the farmers than was anticipated
bv the most sanguine. A farmer
who has once enioved the advantages
of the rural mail service would hard
ly know how to live without it. It
did not come to the farmer, however,
until he had many times earned it.
The farmers are our heaviest tax
payers. What property they have is
in plain sight and. is taxed, while
the citv gent, at least many of them,
who deals in notes and bonds is en
abled to hide his wealth from the as
sessor. For a nuarter of a century
the mail has been carried to the city
home, not once,- but many times
each day. Finally the big heart of
Uncle Sam has reached out to the
men who feed the world.
