That means it is scarcely wit! « hity : that tis congress will pla \ ality with the rest of the 1 world in tl nail ; packages : Don® think that this fs because the parcels post haf’ ceased ; to be an issue. It isn’t that ‘ I are in ant to make you keep off pay / fag mo send a certain package from Chicago to Des Moines thar it w st to send tl ame package from London to © Louisville. . They want to keep the permissible package mail fing weight as restricted as possible, They want rates on par tels maintained as they are so that other carrying concerns can Eohsinue to pay dividends Several of the hostile members of the lower house talked the other day. “It will not pass by my vote,” said Representative Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the Committee on appropriations “IT am confident that there will not be enough votes to put it throtgh. 1 do not care to discuss it at present.” % “I shall vote against the bill,” said Representative Hay of Wirginia | “The passage of such a bill is so remote,” said Representa tlve Mann of Illinois, “that I haven't had the time to think about it.” The bill appears to have even less chance in the senate, for Senator Platt, of express company fante, is given credit for hav- ing said that he would have it killed there Here is an astonishing state of aifairs will benefit, directly or indirectly, 80,000,000 people ; ber of the senate proposes to kill it and a member of the house BR: says he hasn't had time to think about it, Do'you know why? Congressmen and senators alike will tell you that peop! something which yet a mem & don't want a parcels post. They will even show you letters to . | prove if, But they will wot tell you about the influences which p have caused these letters. They will not say anything about! the anti-parcels pest headquarters in Chicago and elsewhere which have been making public gpinion, flooding the country districts with misstatements, doing their best to scare the little Storekeeper out of his wits, pleading with the horfest but mis-| informed editors of patent-insided rural F whose utterances are law and gospel in the county, or buying such as @re for sale in town as well as country. It is the same kind of fight as was waged against the rural freg delivery, That was fought almost as fiercely, and delayed almost as long, Yet today you could mot persuade either the newspapers farmer or country merchant to do without it. Last year’s postal receipts of $183,900,000 were less than ex penses by only a trifle of $7,000,000. Opponents of the parcels | post will tell you of the “alarming deficit " They will call your attention to the $7,000,000. They won't mention the $183,000, 000. They will not admit’ that the postal service must be admin istered first in the people's interest, and secondly as a money making enterprise. Neither will they tell you of the deficiencies fin the postal service which are deficiencies, or of the probabil 4ty that, parcels post and all, the department could show a profit | > “today if it were run as the butcher runs his market or as thriftily | gs the proprietor manages his department store | ‘The parcels post is one of the common sense improvements which in time are bound to Mevate the postal Megitimate place.
