Lewis, of Maryland, Jjoint author of the present parcel post law, and the greatest expert on this subject ever in Congress, showed by tables of figures that this impres- sion has no solid basis in fact. Mr. Lewis advocates a reduction in rallway pay for carrying the mails. But he shows that Uncle Sam already Dossesses very advantageous contracts with the railroads without knowing it. And if the government chooses to g0 into the general express business it will find itself able to transport postal express packages at no greater cost than the express companies now have to pay. oA by you, and your said entry will be can- celed fhereunder without your further right to be heard therein, either before this office or on appeal, 'if you fail to file in_this office within twenty days after the FOURTH publication of this notice, as shown below, your answer, under’ oath, specifically meeting and responding 'to these allegations of con- test, or if you fail within that time to file ‘in_this oftice due proof that you have served a copy of your answer on the said contestant either in person or by registered mail.
