oWE is THAT PARCELS POST

1--WE I'd HAAAA TAESA@S ANS
About all the world, save the
United States, has a Parcels
Post. It has long been in sue
cessful operation in many lands,
from far away japan and Aus
tralia to England and the Cont.
neut generally, with unvarying
success. Not a single problem
as to feasibility or cost, remains to
be tried out, it works Nell over
the long hauls and sparsely set
tied postal routes in Canada, not
less than in thickly populated
Belgium and Germany;and finally
not q single i'll consequence has
anywhere followed its use, but
on the contrary great and wide
spread benefits to all the people.
Foreigners all over the world,
through international postal
treaties, enjoy the benefits Of the
Parcels Post in the United States
but Americans do not! From far
off Japan or Australia a big,
heavy package can be sent
through the United States mail
to any point from California to
Maine for one.fifth the cost to
our own citizens and for less
than any Express Company
would carry it 200 miles. Why?
Because six greedy, grabbing
express corporations, aided and
sbetted by politicians of both
parties and earning as high as
80 per cent. dividends yearly
and accumulating oceans OF
money so fast they have to de-
clare SO per cent. stock dividends
every now and then to ease their
bursting coffers-forbid.
We repeat it there are just six
arguments against the Parcels
Post in the United States:
No. adams Express Co.
No. 2-Wells. Fargo, Express Co.
No. 3-U. s. Express Co.
No. American Express Co.
No. 5-National Express Co.
No. 6-Pacific Express Co.
These enormously rich plum
derers of the people have always |
had their tools in Congress, in
both houses. That old rascal
Tom Platt, president of one or
more Of these companies, as Sen
ator from New York and employ.
ing their customary golden SIN
ducements, absolutely throttled
for years all attempts to pass a
Parcels Post law.
Mr.. Taft had far better fav-
ored this needed measure than
his pet Postal Savings Bank
scheme, which after all many
fear will more serve the pur.
poses Of Wall Street gamblers,
than advance the interests of the
masses. But this would have an
tsgonized these mighty express
company robbers and so he wise
ly refrained from interfering |
with their vested rights to skin
the people.
We are about to nominate a
congressman and candidates for
the State Legislature, who shall
choose for us United States
senator. Let us catechize every
man of them upon this question
Of a Parcels Post law and refuse
to vote for any candidate who
will not openly declare himself in
favor Of forthwith enacting this
long-delayed, righteous privilege
Of the people.
Everywhere in the Union the
people are demanding just and |
proper Legislation at the hands of |
their servants in the state and |
national legislatures. Let US
here in Delaware not cowardly
lag behind like weaklings afraid
to claim the rights and privileges
