Parcels Post.


With respect to the parcels post, I re-
spectfully recommend It's adoption on ali
rural delivery routes, and that II pounds
the international lim.t-be made the lin
1t Of carriage In such post, and this with
a view to It's general extension when the
income of the postofhce will permit and
the postal savings banks have been fully
established. The same argument 1. made
against the parcels post that was made
against the postal savings bank-that 1t Is
introducing the government into a busi-
ness which ought to be conducted by pri-
vate persons. and Is paternalism, The
postoffce department has a great plant
and a great organization, reaching into
the most remote hamlet Of the United
stetes. and with this machinery 1t is able
to do a great many things economically
that IL a new organization were neces-
sary 1t would be impossible to do without
e~xtravagant expenditure. That Is the
reason why the postal savings bank can
be carried on at q small additional cost
and why II Is possible to incorporate All
q very inconsidsrable expense a parcels
post In the rural delivery system. Al gen
eral parcels post will involve a much
greater outlay.

At its last session congress made pro-
vision for the establishment OF savings
banks by the postoffice department of this
government, by which, under the general
Control of trustees, consisting OF the post
master general, the secretary of the treas
uary and the attorney general, the sys-
tenn could be begun In a few cities and
towns. and enlarged to cover within its
operations as many cities and towns and
as large q part OF the country as seemed
wise. The initiation and establishment OF
such a system has required a great deal
or study on the part OF experts In the
postofhce and treasury departments, but
q system has now been devised which is
believed to be more economical and sim
pier In It's operation than any similar sys-
tenn abroad. Arrangements have been per-
fccted so that savings banks will be
opened In some cities and towns on the
list OF January, and there will be q grad
uaf extension OF the Dement'S OF the plan
to the rest ot the country.

AS the treasury department is the one
through which the income OF the gov

place to consider the operation OF the
existing tariff bill. which became a law
August s. 1909. As an .ncome-producing
measure. the existing tariff bill has never
been exceeded by any customs bill in
