Notwithstanding, within the year Senator Boies Penrose said, referring to the Carter-Weeks bil “These are some of the big features of the bill. - The whole intent is to Systemize o and to modernize the entire postal system.. It is idle to take up, such questions as apportion- ing the cost for carrying second-class mail matter or the proper compensation of rail- roads for transporting the mails until we shall have estagolshed business methods in postoffice affairs: by a reorganization of the whole postal system. “The commission wunanimously recom- mended the passage of. the projected bill. Personally I have bien very much interested 72 in all the’ details and, of course, am heartily in fayer of the changes to be made.” Senatot Carter said last March: “But I must forego further pursmt of details. The bill was cordially approved by Postmaster General Meyer and his assistants, and likewise has the approval of Postmaster General Hitchcock. "It failed of passage dur- ing the last Congress owing to lack of time for its proper consideration, but I have re- introduced the bill (which is now designated Senate . 6287, Second Session, Sixty-first Congress.
