To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; We ask your views ana those OF your friends
to the following proposed postal legislation: A
general one-cent-two-ounce letter post and local
rural one-cent-a-poun parcels post.
This proposed legislation would save the general
public least $0.Ot00OO year In postage and the
rural public farmers and merchandise much
more in time and labor wasted in the use of
their own teams. while the rural post wagon passes
their doors almost empty.
The trihng load of these wagons-in 1904 less than
twenty pounds of mail collected and delivered. mail
collected less than two pounds on a twenty-four
mile route. serving hundred or more families
and the resulting paltry revenues. so 81 a month
about one-t third of cent day for the average
family cit may now have been increased to one-half
cent day)-is entirely due to the enormous tax Of
s. cents a pound a sealed packet l6 cents a
pound on unsealed general merchandise, cents a
pound on books, seeds and bulbs Rnd 4 cents a

pound on magazines levied by Congress on the
business Of the rural public.
Under these conditions the income from our
rural service for the ensuing year may possibly
amount to S5o6oOO0-this against an appropriation
for the support Of the service OF nearly Si5Jooo0
An income OF only $40 year for each family. a
trife over three cents u day. would result in a
postal revenue from this branch of the service of
fully 100000 With one-cent-a-pound rural post
this Increased income would be insured from the
rural grocery business alone, and would meet any
possible loss from the reduction of the general
letter rate.
England increased her letter unit from one 70 four
ounces In 1897; Germany. her loca! letter unit from
one 10 eight ounces In 1890. In 1906 New Zealand
increased her letter unit from half ounce 20 four
ounces and reduced her parcels rate from y cents
10 cents d pound. What is good for the rest of
the world would be good for
general twO-ounce letter service would cost the
government little more than an ounce service. II
would give us a sealed parcels post at cents
