Washington, Jan. 5.--The rural par
cells post is strongly urged in the
annual report of ,FouIfh Assistant
Postmaster General p. V. DeGraw,
which has just been released for pub
lication. DeGraw, who years ago was
one of the big s" men in the Asso-
clated Press now has charge of the
rural free delivery system to which
service he devotes nearly his whole
report. As an evidence OF the growth
Of the II. +. ID. he cites that In 1897
there were eighty-two rural routes In
the entire county and in 1910 there
were 41,079.
Among the arguments urged by Mr..
DeGraw in favor of the rural parcels
post are the following;
During the past summer visited
many states. involving travel aggre-
eating nearly $4,000 miles, My expert
ence and observations, fortified by the
Views of prominent persons in those
respective localities, convince me that
the establishment of a parcel delivery
along the line of rural routes should
not be lolnger delayed. A proposal to
establish rural parcel delivery has
been under discussion since 1905,
when / had the honor to urge its
adoption. This recommendation has
been repeated in my report for each
succeeding year and strongly endors-
cd by each postmaster general.
1.-THE establishment of the service
would insure the earning of addition
al revenue amounting to millions of
dollars and at the same time bene-
ht the farmer by enabling him to
have merchandise delivered when or
dered by telephone or postal card
which probably would not otherwise
be purchased owing to the lack of
facilities
THE plan | suggest Is TO render
service to merchants or dealers who
are bona hde residents of delivery
route which will permit the transmits
sion Of articles mailed at the dstrib-
ution postolflce Of any rural route for
delivery to patron Of that route. or
mailed by patron on any rural route
for delivery to a patron Of that route,
on al The distributing posIof'ice from
which the route emanates."

Tariff Commission Will Be

by United Press wire.
Washington, Jan. 5-After a series
of conferences Representative Long
worth Republican, Ohio, has com
pleted the final tentative draft of his
tariff commission bill. AS framed, II
represents compromise laboriously
arrived at after lengthy consulta-
tions with the various interested per-
sons who have been fighting for a
tariff commission measure.
Longworth will take his bill to the
White House for the presidential O.
X. and hopes to introduce 1t soon.
Washington, Jan. 5.-The Long
worth tariff commission bill. was in
troduced in the house today. 1t is
practically identical with the various
insurgent bills on the same subject,
submitted during the last year. II
provides an appropriation of $3.50, 900
President Taft has been using all
his influence to secure an appropria.
ton of 100000, and Longworth's bill
may not be a real administration mea-
sure.
Longworth's measure has been look
ed upon by many as representing the
administration views on tariff com
mission and the cutting down of the
appropriation desired by the president
caused somewhat of a sensation when
the biz was introduced.
In the draft of the measure intro
duced today the sum was originally
set at $350,000, but IL was marked out
and the lower figures inserted in pen
ell, evidently at the last moment The
bill provides for a commission of five
members at a salary of $500 a year,
no more than three to be of the same
political party.

From the subject OF advertising Mr.
Arbuckle switched to talk about the
fight that he has been carrying on for
n reduction in the tariff on sugar. He
would rather see no duty at all, he
said, but I'm any event the tariff should
be materially decreased.

Not more than two years ago men of

be gained in the end In sending let

The Long Hatnin.

While most legislation aimed at

Grafton. The latest recorded incident
of the kind occurred recently in San
Francisco, when an actor riding on a
crowded street car was pierced
through the eye by one, and has, 1t
is reported, lost his sight. Such an
accident is likely to occur at any
time and to anyone. says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. Men are now care
full in crowded places where there
are any number of women, to observe
whether they are endangered by one
OF these pins, but sudden turn, q
jar in trolley car. or any quick
move Is likely to put anyone in
jeopardy wherever there Is one of
these vicious implements protruding
six inches beyond the building line
of the hat itself. Mere legislation
seems to have little effect in putting
an end to the practice of wearing
them, but 1t does not seem that
women themselves, recognize their
danger. would hesitate in giving
them up.
