dous impetus to the parcels post move.

OOub impetus 10 tne parceIs posi- move
ment.
In connection with the frequently
heard objection that parcels post
would insure to the harm of shop own
ers in small towns, the consensus Of
opinion among business men in the
larger cities seems to be that such in
jury would be more than overbalanced
by the advantages derived by these
lesser storekeepers.
WOULD WIPE OUT DEFICIT
Some of the enthusiasts among busi-
ness men contend that the parcels post
would hasten the day when the gov
ment could run the postoffice depart
ment at profit instead of deficit. It
is declared to haye been demonstrated
that the government with its wonder
full system of postoffices, together with
it's rural delivery service. can handle
an immense quantity of additional
business at practically small additional
cost to the government.
An additional argument advanced in
favor of the reform is that, since we
have the rural free delivery, many
wagons travelling half empty will be
sent over their routes with the efficiency
and promptness that only the govern
ment can guarantee, delivering mer-
chandise to the farmers and picking up
other parcels. In this way the wagons
would always be of real use.
The strike question has had much to
do with accentuating interest in the
parcels post, especially in the cities
affected by the recent troubles between
| express companies and their employees.
A prominent New York merchant has
called attention to the matter in this
way:
WOULD GIVE RESERVE FORCE.
The banks Of the country are the re-
serve we depend upon in time of finan.
cial stress. The national guard is the
reserve we depend upon in time of war.
Every 'man who has been a soldier
knows the Importance of having men at
hand to take the place of those disabled.
1t is one of the first lessons in military
tactics, and it is applicable to anything
else beside soldering.
And yet we have no carriers at hand
to fall back upon when express COM
panies fail us. Between the companies
and their employees we are gripped tight
by the throat. If they don't want to
haul our goods what can we do? lfthey
want our men to strike what can we do ?
For one thing we are obliged to compel
our customers to carry home a great
number of parcels they are not accus-
toned to handling, to their inconveni-
ence, and; incidentally, ours, because ii
hurts trade to disoblige customers. II
we had had the parcels post at the time
of the recent strike would simply haye
sent down word to the mailing room Ia
split all packages into weights in con.
formity with the law and ship by Unit.
