FOR A PARCELS POST.

The recent order of the postoffice de-
partment forbidding rural free delivery
mail carriers taking packages TO the
people along their routes has given rise
20 renewed agitation for the adoption OF
the parcels post system in the United
States.
A good many fallacious arguments
against the extension to the United
States of the international Parcels
Post are used by evidently selfishly in
terests as applicable against domestic
parcels post in this country-such, for
instance, as the statement that Ger
many's railroad system is govern
ment enterprise, which, by the way, is
not true. Although the larger part OF
the railroad system of Germany is gov
ernment property there are three sys-
TENS of ownership in operation through
out the German Empire: First, those
lines owned and controlled by the gov
ernment: second, those owned by
private corporations, but aided by gov
eminent subsidies. and, third, those
owned, controlled and operated by
private corporations.
The question of railroad ownership,
however, has nothing to do with the
domestic parcels post question in the
United States. The question OF pater-
nalism Is no more involved in the par
cells post project than in the present
mail-carrying system.
The experience of other counfias
shows beyond question that domestic
parcels post can be introduced and run
on a paying basis, with systems far
more sweeping than any sought to be
introduced into the United States. Ger
many sends an eleven-pound package
from any one to any other internal
post Office at a cost of 1912 cents, yet
the report for the year of 1900 shows
that Germany's postal system turned
into the treasury a surplus of $1O,S39-
$685.
These figures do not indicate that
Germany's parcel post is a financial
embarrassment to the government.
