The -Four Arguments Against Par
Gel Post.

A gift from the Government of
S15, 100000 business a year to the
express companies will no doubt
be cheerfully tolerated by the ex-
press companies as long as the
public will stand for it.
In retiring from the Postmaster
Generalship John Wanamaker re-
marked that there were four argu-
ments against parcels post-the
United States Express Co., the
American Express Co., the Adams
Express Co. and the Wells Fargo
Express Co.
No additional arguments have
been presented in the years that
have followed. but these four still
hold good.
The announcement that this
years deficit is the largest in the
history of the postal service ought
to stimulate some serious thought
on this subject. Last years loss
was about $4,000, 900. Thisye
it is Sl6,910,27S.99.
There are now in operation
$4,000 rural routes, serving pop
ulatiOn of about 100000 per-
sons, and should an average of So
pounds of merchandise be carried
by the rural carrier on each trip
throughout the year. it is estimat-
ed that Sl5, 100000 would be real
lied.
This could be accomplished with
little additional cost or labor to the
rural carriers. whose carts now 60
comparatively empty.
The farmer needs the service
and the Postoffice Department
needs the income.
Every Postmaster Generals re-
port in dozen years has contain
eel an urgent plea for authority to
establish a parcels service.
The records of Congress do not
show why there has been no ac-
ton, but common knowledge
makes it clear.
1t is the influence of the express
companies, directed openly in the
United States Senate by the Presi-
dent of one company, and in the
House Of Representatives by agents
of all the others.
If Congress ever becomes really
sincere IN its war on monopoly, 1t
can begin effective work by de-
stroying this one, which not only
deprives the people of "A long de-
sired service. but robs the Govern
ment of needed income. The Gin
cinnati Post.
