Excerpt from The Postal Deficit: An Examination of Some of the Legislative and Administrative Aspects of a Great State Industry
The people of the United States can justly take great pride in the postal system which they have established. The organization of the Post-office Department extends over a vast continental territory, throughout which there is practically no community too small and no hamlet too remote from the great centers of population, or from the ordinary means of transportation, to receive regular and reliable mail service. Within recent months there has been a great extension of the postal agencies, and at the present time the two-cent stamp will carry a letter from Manila or San Juan, in the tropics, to the mining camps of Alaska, in the vicinity of the Arctic Circle.
The extent of the utilization of these postal facilities is probably without a parallel elsewhere on the globe, and the figures necessary to express it are scarcely within the limits of human comprehension.
