Parcels Post Away Says
Geo. ]. Kindel
POSTAL PACKAGE RATES HIGH
Out Of Proportion to Those Of Other
Countries Declares Denver Man

fight upon the railroad interests i'm
Colorado led the parcels post adher-
ents and i'm a speech, remarkable for
bitterness against what he termed
domination of the government by rob
Der express companies" who were get
ting the benefit of the failure to have
a parcels post. he declared "only a ma =
tion of chumps would stand for such
damnable treatment and statesman
ship"
Kindel denounced the present post
al rate on packages as out of all pro-
portion to those Of other countries and
quoted figures to sustain the declara-
tion.

will be no express company doing an

Government Control Of Inter State
Industries Would Rem
edy Conditions
SIMILAR TO R. R. REGULATION
Believes Conditions Can Be Met by
Legislation Like That Gov
erning Railroads.

New York, Nov. 1G.-Recent legisla-
tion and legislation to regulate trusts
are discussed and remedy to meet the
present situation is suggested by Theo-
dore Roosevelt in an editorial entitled,
"The Trusts, the People and the Square
Deal" published today in the Outlook.
Roosevelts suggested remedy for
present conditions is the control Of in
dustrial organizations engaged in inter
state commerce, in a way similar to the
control the government exercises over
inter state commerce railways.
Court Makes Lawyers Hustle.
Washington. Nov. 16.-The staid. old
Omitted States supreme court has the
members Of the bar on the run from a
reform that is reforming"
Instead OF hearing arguments i'm on
ly IS cases before the Christmas holi-
days, as was done last year, the court
promises to have presented to it be-
fore the Christmas recess this year
twice that number. Indications now
are that the court will dispose of half
as many more cases this year as it did
last year. Lawyers with cases to be
heard are being caught unawares and
many are hustling forward briefs now
that they expected to present in the
winter
The change in pace is generally
credited TO Chief Justice White. His
most potent rule in this direction is
regarded TO be one recently adopted
reducing the time for oral arguments
before the court. Instead of four hours
for each case as in the past, now only
three hours is given to the most COM
plicated eases. For those arising un-
der the so-called criminal appeals act
those certified from the circuit courts
OF appeals, and those involving only
the po4hr Of jurisdiction, mere hour
and a half is accorded to the hearing
The hearing Of more cases is expect
ed to result i'm the court eventually
catching up with it's business so that
cases will be heard comparatively soon
after being docketed instead of wait
ing from two to three years. When
that time is reached il is believed the
number of cases taken to the court
will be reduced materially because no
longer would persons appealing gain
a respite from adverse judgment for
several years
one result of the increased number
of cases taken under consideration
probably will be shorter opinions. 1t
is predicted that memorandum opin-
ions "by the court" rather than ex-
tended discussions by a member OF
the tribunal will become more COM
mon as a result of changed conditions.
