THE PARCELS POST SCHEME.


The Chicago Grocers' Criterion. the
leading trade journal of its kind in thf
middle west, is urging its readers, who
are almost entirely among the retail
merchants in the smaller cities and
towns to circulate circumstances
against the enactment of parcels post
law and forward them TO their repre-
sentatives at Washington. The CItter-
ion warnes the retailers that the par
means. 1t IS grave and imminent
danger AMI must be fought. and fought
hard" suggests that delay is dangerous
and urges immediate action.
There is strong common sense be-
hing the Criterion's urgency The
country merchant is vitality interested
in the success or failure of the par
GELS post bill. It's passage would be
caiamitous for the inland retailer and
inversely profitable to the catalog
houses. The hill is aimed directly at
his prosperity and he should bes;ir
himself to the preservation OF anfs own
interests. Different causes have con-
spired of late years to increase his COM
petition and cut down his opportun-
tiles, but the parcel post scheme car
ries disaster beside which other dan
gers 10 country trade become insignifi-
cant.
The country is not clamoring for a
parcels post. The plea that the ex-
press companies are profiting by arbi-
trary monopoly ON their peculiar carry
ing business while true enough has a
specious purpose behind it. The plan
for the parcels post has the centraliza-
ton of trade in the big business CEN
tiers to the disadvantage of the coun-
try for its strongest incentive = the
creation of another monopoly instead of
the cheapening of express rates. II
contemplafes flooding the mails with
millions of pounds of city nlercffa ndise
which the government must carry at
loss to the embarrassment OF the
more important branches OF the postal
service. Ii means decentralization in the
postal service and in the general re-
tail trade of TIE country. The bill
should be lost in committee. There. is
no good reason why the government
should become common carrier of
merchandise to individuals at the ex-
pense of the people.

A NEW LIQUOR slll.

bill to control the sale OF liquor IS
in process of construction in Water
loo by Senator COPYRIGHT and others
which will be introduced in the legls-
lature during the present session. NO
copy OF the bill Is as yet available. but
its provisions as given out by its pro-
motors are substantially as follows:
The law provides that the exclusive
sale OF liquor be given to a corporation
lin such towns as may wish to have It.
Members OF this corporation can not
otherwise sell liquor nor can they
manufacture II. They can not dispense
1t themselves, that is. the bartendess
can not be stockholders in the corpo-
ration. The city or town Is not a
stockholder, 1t merely stands by to see
that its own police powers are en-
forced, and that the saloonkeeper shall
no, sell liquor for profit. The corpo-
ration pays for its privilege all the
profits from the saloons excepting 10
per cent upon Its stock. The bill pro-
hibits treating.
The friends of the proposed law
claim that its adoption will eliminate
at least the lowest OF the saloon ele-
ment from municipalities and give the
municipality responsible corporation
with which to deal: will release the
police from saloon influence, reduce the
number OF saloons one-half: give con-
troll Of the blacklist and sales to in
toxlcated persons and remove the In
centive OF personal profit from the lia-
uor traffic. Waterloo, where the bill
originates. 10 ready TO furnish the first
object lesson should the bill pass into
la law, as number OF business men
have arranged to incorporate and APP
ply for contracts.
The bill is modification of the
Swedish system and the dispensary
plan of controlling liquor sales. The
Gothenberg system accomplished much
good in the Scandinavian states. There
was q notable decrease OF drunkenness
and debauchery following its adop-
ton. The Waterloo BILL however, viii
arouse too many elements OF oppose
ton 10 become law in Iowa. 1t will
not pass. The radical opponents Of
temperance reform and the organized
retail liquor dealers of the state will
both bitterly oppose 1t.
There is strong sentiment In Iowa
against state partnership with the liq-
uor traffic and that is about what the
Waterloo proposition amounts to. The
state and municipality under the bill
practically become holders OF 80 per
cent OF common stock in the venture
against 10 per cent of preferred stock
held by the corporation. Doubtless the
Gothenberg or dispensary plan would
result in diminished sales OF liquor, but
the temperance element of the state
will meet the proposal to make state
monopoly of the sale of intoxicants
much as the churches met Mr. Stead's
theory OF church monopoly of the liQ-
uor business. The saloon interests will
fight the bill in the desperation of self
preservation and it will scarcely meet
