several express companies thoroughly
organized for handling parcels under
the zone system. charging in proper
ton to distance carried. The parcels
post would get all IOng-distance par
cells. which would be carried ut a loss
and the express companies all short
distance if this is necessary to avoid
would be less than postage rates. An
effective domestic parcel post should
be organized on the same lines. sub
stantially as the express companies
If this sort of reasoning had pre-
vailed in the past we never should
have had Il uniform postal rate for
letters. 1t was not until 1868 that
such rate was provided. Before that
postage was three cents for carrying
Il letter under 5000 miles and 10 cents
for IL long distance. When the postal
system was started the rates were
based on distance. There is Il pre-
cedent therefore for starting parcels;
post with IL rate varying with the
distance if this is necessary to avoid
great expense. We believe the Post
master General is greatly mistaken in
thinking that the express companies
would carry 'all shOrt-distance par
cells" He cannot realize the bitter
feeling against these companies for
their eXtOrtiOn and carelessness. He
makes one suggestion. however. that
may he regarded as Il little step ahead.
That is to put what is called third
and fOurth-claSS matter together.
Third-claSS matter is transient news
papers and other printed matter which
is carried ut one cent for two ounces;
fOurth-claSS matter covers merchan-
disc The limit for one package is
four pounds the cost being one cent
an ounce. Throwing these two CLASSES
together would cut the rate on nGr-
chaHdSe in two and enable us to send
il four pound package for b cents.
Even this little concession Will be
fought 10y the express companies. and
it would hardly he worth considering
if it were not accepted AS the begin
ming of Il genuine parcels post. Let
uS Sppnd 10 time in grieving over the
situation but get ut work harder than
ever 1t ought To he entirely evident
| to any man with half Il mind that we
shall have no parcels post until we
make Congress give us one. First of
| all we must get our own friends and
npichhorS Interested. and thus increase
| the pressure upon congressman. Count
| it a day lost when you do not mention
| parcels post at least five times by
| letter or conversation.
The editor of the Ohio Farmer says:
| The interest in local and state poll
| tics during the past summer and fall
has subordinated Il question of greater
| importance to farmers than any other
of national characterize parcel-pOst.
1t is of more direct Importance than
ever that of regulating railroad rates,
though the two are identical in prin-
ciple. If it is right to limit the power
of railroads. to prevent eXtOrtion and
discrimination. it is equally right to
limit the power of the express com
pany trust to rob the people. The only

The credit of making the Metropoli.

Il. Hegeman. If that company never
wrote another policy, it would be the

half billion dollars, in addition to what
has already been paid, is to be distrib-
uted among millions of humble homes
to relieve the distress and often the loss
of income caused by death.
1t is easy to state the great figures of
lite insurance, but it is not easy to get
the people to understand them Or

of themselves through insurance would
become public charges-hundredS of
thousands of them annually. What
European governments have sought to

schemes, American and British work

Mr.. Hegeman. have done voluntarily
through the industrial insurance system.
