\nmarch 0,1930 DA  \nFOREWORD  \nDuring the Transportation and Communi-cation session at the Fifteenth Annual Meet-ing of the Chamber of Commerce of theUnited States a resolution on revision of pos-tal rates was presented by Lucius Teter,chairman of the Chamber's Committee onPostal Service,and by A.C.Pearson,Chair-man of the Board of the United Publishers'Corporation.Their remarks are made avail-able in this pamphlet.  \nThe resolution,which was adopted by thesession and by the annual meeting itself,isgiven on the following page.  \nJune,1927  \n1164  \n# REVISION OF POSTAL RATES\n\nExperience has definitely demonstrated that the pres-ent scale of postal rates is not on a reasonable basis and isresulting in considerable harm to various users of the mailsand therefore to the public in generalThese facts havebeen brought out at the various hearings before the PostOffice Committees of Congress,and the Postal Service Com-mittee of the Chamber has rendered a report which showselearly that a revision of postal rates should be made assoon as possible.  \nThere has been a more or less generally accepted ideathat the receipts from the postal service should fully coverall of the costs of that service.This is contrary to acceptedbusiness principles and overlooks the fact that efficiencyand adequacy of the service should be the first considera-tion.It also overlooks the fact that Congress,in its wis-dom,has seen fit to use the postal service for carrying outof governmental policies by the granting and extending of\"free\"or\"less than cost\"services.  \nIn the making of postal rates,applicable to purely com-mercial business,the following elements should be fully con-sidered:First,the cost to the Post Office Department ofthe handling of \"free\"or “less than cost”matter;second,the rates should be so made as to encourage the further useof the postal service and thus reduce the units of overheadexpense;third,the rates should be made on the differentclasses with due regard to the character and value of theservice and the conditions under which it is performed,inthe same manner as rates are determined by the InterstateCommerce Commission for the transportation of freightand express.  \nThe net cost of these governmental policy services shouldbe charged to the general Treasury in the same manner asthe cost of services of the other governmental departments,and thus eliminate from one of the biggest businesses inthe world the present unfair and discriminatory methodof making the users of commercial mail pay for governmen-tal policy services.If such an adjustment of rates had beenmade and proper accounting rendered for governmentalpoliey services,the last annual report of the PostmasterGeneral would not have shown a deficit.—Resolution adopt-ed by Transportation and Communication Session and byFifteenth Annual Meeting.  \nThe Chamber's Interest in Postal Matters  \nLUCIUS TETER  \nPresident,Chicago Trust
