FIGHT ON PARCELS
POST WIDESPREAD
Campaign Well Organized
and Protests Pour In From
All Over Country.

The war against the establishment Of
a parcels post system is started, and f.
on in full blast.
A perfect flood of petitions, protests
and letters is rolling down on the Capi.
tol against the parcels post Each mai
recently brings in hundreds of objec.
tions.
The campaign against the innovation
is well organized. 1t is reaching out to
draw the country mechant into opposi-
tion to the establishment of a parcels
post system.
Most of the protests that come in are
on regularly printed forms, which are
substantially alike. and many of them
are identical. Large interests are said
to be back of the fight against the pro-
posed legislation.
Merchants Enlisted.
The country merchant is being enlisted
for the war on the theory that he has
a vote and that his political influence
will scare out the member Of Congress.
Some suspicion is current at the Capt.
tol that the express companies are back
of the effort to prevent parcels post
legislation. It is well known their in
fluence has been in opposition to the
parcels post in the past.
1t is argued against the parcels post
that it would create a great deficit in
the Treasury; that it would revolutionize
the commercial system of the United
States by eliminating the country mer-
chants. 1t is represented that the COM
mercial traveller would be eliminated,
and that his place would be filled by
costly catalogues and lavish advertis-
ing by mall-Order concerns. Another
argument is that the evil of congestion
Of population in great cities would be
aggravated, and that the business of
the village and small town would be
transferred to the great city.
Other Objections.
Objection is made not merely to a
general parcels post system, but also to
the proposed local rural parcels post
II is said the result of this would be to
enable the agents of the mail-order
houses to establish agencies in the small
villages or towns, receive goods for
which they had obtained orders from
farmers, and then deliver the goods to
the farmers by rural delivery.
While a food of documents is coming
IN against the parcels post. little is be-
ing heard from the believers in the
parcels post. That is while it is gem
orally understood that the farmers of
the country and plenty of other people
are for the parcels post, they are not
petitioning or writing letters for 1t.
II is quite clear they are unorganized.
1t will be recalled that when President
Roosevelt's rural life commission made
fits extensive investigation into condi-
tions on the farms 1t found that the
sentiment of the country was for a par

It is very noticeable that the mot

than was evidenced before the trag-

same old disregard for the speed linn
it and a forgetting of the sad event
by next spring. This will not be
the case, however, II this paper can
