Sen. Hansbrough of North Da-
kota has sent a request to the pres
ident for deposit of government
funds in banks of the Northwest to
help move the grain crop. The
senator believes that the govern
ment funds could b e used to better
advantage for this purpose than
for bolstering up stock speculations
in Wall Street. and that money to
raise the embargo and "start grain
shipments to Europe would relieve
the financial stress in the east
much quicker than a deposit OF
treasury funds in New York"
The president has granted the re-
quest to the extent Of one million
dollars which will be deposited IN

The question of establishing
parcels post is one that has been
considered in this country for many
years, but has been strongly op-
posed by local merchants Under
the present system parcels not ex-
ceeding four pounds may be sent
by mail at one cent per ounce, and
this rate is the same whether the
package is sent from a catalogue
house in Chicago or by a local mer-
chant to customer living on a
rural route running from his town.
This is manifestly an injustice to
the local dealer, and naturally he
opposes any plan for lowering the
rates or increasing the size of the
package so long as no distinction
is made on account of the distance
carried. Postmaster General Mey-
er now proposes a plan which he
believes will satisfy the local mer-
chants. He says:
| propose to recommend the es-
tablishment of a parcel post on ru-
raj routes which will meet the OBJ
jections of the small storekeepers
and retailers. This will be boon
to our rural population, and to the
storekeeper. as the latter can re-
ceive his orders by mail or tele-
phone and dispatch the desired
merchandise by the rural carrier.
The farmer will be saved from
hitching up his horse and losing
the time he needs for planting or
harvesting his crops, and it will
enable the storekeeper to increase
his sales and meet the require
ments of modern trade. If my
recommendations are adopted, it
will cost 12 cents pound for the
mail order house to send parcels to
the rural delivery patron from any
city postoffice, while for delivery
from the distributing office of the
rural route, Or if mailed by a pa
tron of any rural route for delivery
to patron on the same route, OF
! at the distributing postoffice, oi
said route, the charge will be but
5 cents for the first pound and 2
cents for each additional pound up
to II pounds, or 25 cents for a
package weighing IL pounds.
