Enlistment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-In . mess
age to congress accompanying the an
nual report Of the postmaster-general,
the President today recommended the
establishment Of parcel post. The
President In part says:
The Postmaster General recon-
mends. a. I have done In previous
messages. the adoption OF . parcel
post, and the beginning OF this in the
organisation Of such service on rural
routes and In the city delivery service
first.
The placing OF assistant postmasters
in the classified service has secured
greater efficiency. 1t Is hoped that
the same thing may be done with all
the postmasters.
The report OF the Postmaster Cen
eral 10 full Of statements OF tho I'M
portant improvements in the organiza-
ton and methods of the postal service
made since the last annual report. and
OF tentative drafts Of legislation en-
bodyinG certain recommendations OF
the department which need legisla-
ton to carry them out.
There 10 only one recommendation
in which | can not agree-that is one
which recommends that the telegraph
lines In the United States should be
made q part of the postal system and
operated In conjunction with the mail
system. This presents q question OF
Government ownership Of public utili.
ties which are now being conducted
by private enterprise under franchises
from the Government. believe that
the true principle 10 that private en-.
terprise should be permitted to carry
an such public utilities under due regu-
lation a. to rates by proper authority
rather than that the government
should itself conduct them. This prin-
cipal ! favor because l do not think 1t
in accordance with the best public
policy thus greatly to increase the
body Of public servants. OF course, II
1t could be shown that telegraph SER
vice could be furnished to the pub
lie at less price than 1t is now fur
nished to the public by telegraph COM
panies. and with equal efficiency. the
argument might be a strong one IN
favor OF the adoption OF the PROPOSE
ton. But / am not satisfied from any
evidence that II these properties were
taken over by the government they
could be managed any more economic
ally or any more efficiently or that
this would enable the government to
furnish service at any smaller rate
than the public are now required to
pay BY private companies.
