BILL FIXES TARIFF
OF EXPRESS CHARGES
Gives Interstate Commerce
Commission Authority Over
Companies Operations.

WASHINGTON, April 2.--The house
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee today reported favorably a bill
to amend the law giving the interstate
commerce commission authority over
express companies. Provision would be
made for rate zones, the charges vary
ing according to the distance the pack
age was carried from the point Of ori-
gin.
close working arrangement also
would be provided between the express
companies and the rural free delivery
system of the postoffice department.
The bill would govern the transpor-
tation of packages not exceeding eleven
pounds in weight and with valuation
of $50 or less. No allowance would be
made for the expense of transfer from
one express company TO another. The
rates would be fixed as follows:
Between any two points in the Unit.
ed States more than 1000 miles apart
II cents per pound; not more than 1000
miles apart, 10 cents; not more than
1900 miles apart. cents; not more
than 500 miles apart, ) cents; not more
than 900 miles apart, 4 cents; and be.
tween points not more than $50 miles
apart. cents per pound.
II is provided, however, that no eI-
press company shall be compelled to
accept for transportation any package
at a charge less than 10 cents.
The provision for cooperation be
tween the express companies and the
rural free delivery routes is the most
discussed feature. Express matter des.
tined for a farmer living on q rural
mail route would be delivered by the
express agent at the nearest point to
its destination, where, provided the
shipper had attached the necessary
postage. il would be turned over TO the
mail carrier. through the regular chan.
nels for delivery. Rural carriers like.
wise would be authorized to accent
matters on which postage had been
paid for delivery to the express com
pany.
Failure Of anv express company to
carry ont the provisions of the law
would be punished by fine in each
case Of 500 and attorneys fees, to.
gether with such damages as the person
aggrieved might collect in court.

LIBERTY BELL.

There is a great deal of discussion
now regarding the plea of the man
ayers of the Panama exposition at
Frisco for the famous Liberty bell.
They want it as one of the attractions
of the big show in 1915.
Many people take the position that
this bell is no freak affair and should
o be carted around over the country
like a tattoed man or something in a
museum. They say that it should re-
main enshrined at Philadelphia and
should be kept as a sacred thing,
apart from the expositions-attended
by the common rabbIe.
This position isn't popular. The
Liberty bell is a national affair. Ev-
cry patriotic man and woman in the
country feels a pride in the bell and
its historic associations. There are
many millions of people west of Phil
adelphia who cannot make a trip there
TO see the famous relic that ante-dat-
ed the revolution.
1t will not cheaper the bell to have
1t transported to San Francisco for
exhibition purposes. On the other
hand thousands of people will see the
bell and it will arouse patriotic sen
timent and prove a helpful factor
There seems no eason why 1t could
not be shown the children in every
large city on its pilgrimage en- route
N and from the exnosftion-and n.
made a missionary Of patriotism.

when p. T. Barnum said the public
likes to be humhugged--and some one
else that there was a sucker born ev-
cry minute-they demonstrated their
familiarity with the situation.
Postmaster General Hitchcock says
that during the past year the suckers
of the country gave up $12o, 600, 900 to
the Est-Fich quick takers. This vas
in the face of the effort on the part of
the postal oficials to put the concerns
out OF business. What the grand to-
tai would have ~heen-but for the pro-
lection effeTed-can only be imagined.
The federal government is aided by
the state and the city oHieials-and by
private individuals all over the eoun-
try, in depressing the takers. The
vultures, however, seem to prosper
and multiply-despite the combined
ofieial action and the warnings of the
press.
One Of the queer features Of the
whole affair is that the dupes of the
getarich-quick people are usually
frugal, careful. hardworking people.
Most always they are suspicious Of
legitimate enterprises-but when some
alluring fake with the promise of
big interest comes along-they can't
resist.
