Reduction Beneficial.

Commissioner Lane expresses the belief
that the system proposed will make prac-
ticable the opening of direct avenues
OF trade between the farm and the city
household. He, likewise, Is OF opinion
that while the reduction OF the rates
on the lighter weight parcels Will aver
age between 20 and 80 per cent the ex-
beneficiarles OF a largely increased busl-
ness in the handling of small parcels.
The report shows that more than 300,-
o00O0 parcels are handled annually by
the express companies In the United
States. The average household OF five
persons In this country either send or
receives by express In the course of a
year. from eight to ten packages. The
average weight of these packages is thir-
ty-four pounds: the average express
charge is 90 cents, and the average haul
is 200 miles. II appears that very small
proportion of the express traffic of the
from the farm 10 the city home.
Commissioner Lane carried his investl-
"a lions into the express business OF sew
eral European countries. In those coun-
tries where the parcels post system has
developed traffic In small packages, the
lighter weight packages were found to
predominate, 1t was indicated that In
foreign countries the householder re-
ceiyed few parcels weighing more than
ten pounds per shipment. The commits
sion believes that in the United States
the express traffic In food commodities
is chiefly between the producer and the
commission merchant, and that the rates
appear To have been constructed with a
view TO fostering and encouraging The
growth of that traffic at the expense OF
the light package traffic.

Gated In block 95o. Some twenty other
towns and villages arc Included in that
same block, Chicago Is located IN block
S3S, which also contains score or more
of cities and towns. A shipper In New

cago will learn from the directory the
block in which Chicago is situated. Then
tuning to the single tariff sheet, he will
ascertain the number OF the scale Of

This method of stating rates, the re-

of complaints arising out OF under

II is found that the largo number of
double collections of express charges
arises out OF the fact that a package
which has been prepaid does not bear
sufficient evidence OF this fact. Accord
ingly, the report presents a set of labels
and way bills In different colors which
the carriers are required TO use. and In
the event that the package does not bear

Year of Hard Work.

The investigators have devoted year
to the constructive work OF reforming
the bases OF express rates. OF devising
simpler and more easily understood
means OF stating those rates, and Of pre-
pairing new rules for the government Of
carriers OF express traffic.
OF foremost Importance Is the require
ment that all OF the express companies
shall join In the establishment of
through routes by the quickest lines of
communication between all express Of
fices and shall publish through rates to
apply between those points. The same
provision gives the shipper the right TO
name the route by which his property
shall be carried. II is believed by Com
missioner Lane that these provisions will
effect an Improvement In the service and
great economy 10 the carriers, which
now haul shipments oftentimes by cir
cuitous routes to avoid turning them over
to connecting line.
The most radical departure from ex-
!stiDg methods lies in that adopted OF
applying the new rates. In the United
States there are $4,000 express stations.
To name rates from each OF these 10
every other one requires the statement
OF more than GOO. 100000 different rates.
These schedules now occupy several hun
dred volumes OF from 200 TO 300 pages
each In the tariff department OF the CON. i.
mission. The rates themselves are in
tricate and involved. and II requires ex =
pert authority to determine the lawful
rate between any two points.

Lane Evolves Plan.

The problem Of reducing this enormous
volume OF rate schedules TO a genuinely
practicable compass Is one to which
Commissioner Lane devoted most serious
attention. He has evolved @ method
whereby the rates from any point In the
United States to all other points may
be printed on a single sheet or card about
one-fourth Of the size Of a single news
paper page.
The first step In the consummation OF
the plan was the division of the United
States into blocks, each approximately
fifty miles square Rates are proposed
between each OF these blocks. treating
all cities and towns within each block
as common points. Each OF these blocks
Is one degree OF longitude in length and
one degree of latitude in width. To ev-
cry express station within each OF these
blocks the rate is the same from any
other given block. Thus the rate is stat
ed as between blocks rather than as be-
tween cities. Supplemental this block
system OF making rates which sconsti-
tutes each block a zone OF origin or of
destination the rates are stated for each
package weighing from one 70 one hum
dred pounds The express companie will
be required TO publish a directory of
express stations which will show the
J block number within which each station
IL located. and at each station there will
be filed a single sheet tariff which will
| give the rate from that station 20 all
other blocks in the United States.
