The Parcels post.

One of the objections raised to the
parcels post is that it would be an ad-
vantage to the large mail order houses,
and az injury to the smaller local mer-
chants. This has not proven the case
where the system is in operation, the
reverse being true. Before its adoption
small shopkeepers who could not keep a
large stock of goods owing to limited
capital, lost orders because they could
no, compete with stronger firms carrying
large stocks. Since the introduction OF
the parcels post this has changed, as
these small shopkeepers, while not carry
ing any heavier stocks Of goods than
formerly, display complete line OF
samples. Customers select from these
samples, and the goods are delivered at
their doors in two or three days. The
customer does not have to pay any more
than if he purchased through a large
mail-order house, while the local dealer
gets alegitimate profit This is the case
where the parcels post is in operation
today.
The Wholesale houses have not suffered.
while the small dealer has been benefited.
The. benefit, too. has extended to the
purchasing public, in that it has brought
the shopping facilities of the city within
reach. Of the country. The sufferers are

nonopolies realizing the fact that once
the system was inangurated in the United
states they would lose, thousands Of
dollars they are now wringing from the
people by extortiouate rates.
- II costs more at the present time to
send parcel from New York to San
Francisco by express, than it does from
Loudon to China by parcels post Even
parcels from London to different points
in the United States cost less for postage
than the express charges in the country.
Is it not rather surprising that the people
Of this country have quietly submitted so
long to the extortion Of these robber ex-
press companies, and permitted them to
defeat the adoption of the parcels post,
in order that the outrageous overcharges
for express business may continued II

measures which promise to benefit the
public at large.

At the meeting of the council
Monday evening Mayor Rodgers his
annual message which sounds the
keynote of progress in municipal pro-
gress for the coming year. The
mayor touches on mountain water,
the boulevard to the state fair
grounds, the need of more hydrants
for fire protection in the suburbs,
the demand for more paving, better
sewerage, the garbage question and
many other live topics. The reading
OF the message was greeted with
hearty applause and on motion the
chair appointed Eldridge, Hill anl
Stockton as a committee TO pass on
the message, which follows:
To the Honorable Common Council
of the City OF Salem, Oregon:
The increased needs attendant up.
on the unprecedented growth and
development of cur city during the
year just past, have necessitated the
expenditure of an unusually large
amount of money for public i'm
provemcnts. The paving of State
street along Wilson avenue and the
postoffice has cost the city $6799.1O
cash and $2652.15 in improvement
bonds. A large amount OF money
was expended for the proper drain
age OF the newly paved streets. Three
brick clsterns were installed in the
business district. The North Front
Street Bridge was improved and re-
opened TO the public. Practically
all the fire hydrants I'm the paved sec
tion were relocated within the curb
line at considerable expense. The
working fore of the street depart
ment has been more than doubled
and street work generally has never
been more vigorously carried on.
The efficiency of the fire and police
departments has been improved and

these policies.

to $4,000, swelling the total amount |

over 1907 of about $4,000. The levy
of Ave and three-fomrths mills for
1909 together with the estimated |
receipts from all other sources will
provide total revenue for 1903 OF
about $71,000. In addition to this
the sinking fund levy of one-fourth
mill will yield about $21OO.
