PARCELS POST DEFEATED.

Congressman Cowerd last week
tried to amend the postofice appro-
priation bill in line with the recon-
mendatiUn OF Mr.. Brlstow, late fourth
assistant postmaster general, relating
to parcels post in the rural free
delivery service. He proposed that
packages be mailed at the rate of 3
cents a pound for delivery on routes
from the office from which the rural
routes %emanated, but not between
onices.
Congress is at this session beseL
with a powerful lobby in the interest
Of a parcels post Of very different
character. The mail order houses
are moving heaven and earth to in
crease the parcels limit to seven
pounds and to reduce the postage on
merchandise parcels to the end that
the government may pay the expense
of successful competition with local
merchants. Mr.. Cowherd's amend
ment was entirely right. 1t would
have served to increase the bushes;
of the rural routes without increasing
the expense Of operating them 10
anything like the anne ratio. 1t
would have affo ded country people
a great convenience without disturb.
Ing local business conditions. II
would have helped to make rura
delivery self sustaining. When tht
people who cast the votes once reallzl
the influence Of centralized business
upon legislation, state and national
there will be such a political upheava
in this country as is now no
thought of.
