Increased their trade by delivering
goods TO their customers. The parcel

local country merchant to deliver

twenty-five cents for eleven pounds.
while the Wholesale merchant, in or

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Dec. g.
Postmaster General Meyers annual
report draws attention to the enor-
nous Increase IN the country's postal
business by giving tho figures for
the last flfty years. These show pos
thl service receipts of sS.653,952 In
1857, with n deficit of $3,i54, LOG,
ngsinst receipts OF S1s35S5. 0O5 In the
nscal year ended June so. 1907. when
there was a deficit OF yo,653,2S2. MIR.
Meyer believes receipts will pass tho
Ssb0,o0o,ooO mark in 1917.
In the opinion OF the Postmaster
General, the particular and striking
needs OF the service today are "up-
to-date business methods, n revised
bystcm OF bookkeeping, permitting tho
talting of n trial balance, and n per.
mnncnt official corresponding to the
superintendent OF n mill or the agent
OF o great consolidated manufacturing
corporation. who would hold office
continually, through various admins
tiations.' To such m fDc,al Mr.. Mcy.
er would pay u salary large enough
to attract and hold capable. expert.
enced business man. New laws ara
needed To permit introduction OF up.
todate business methods.
Postmaster General Meyers first
recommendation IS :he establishment
OF postal savings banks. He does
this, he says, FIRST. In order to ell
conragc among our people economy
and thrift; second, In order to AFFORD
u place of deposit free from any pos.
sibility of doubt or suspicion for vast
nums OF money which might other

culatlon through ignorance or lack of
confidence.
Wherever it may be, this money
has lost It's proper functions, and the
business OF tho nation not only re.
csves no benefit from 1t, but even
the prosperity Of the country suffers
and may be eventually destroyed
Money deposited in postal savings
banks would be absolutely safe. as
the government would be back OF IT,
Would Extend Parcel Post

points out that under the present sys
