The Parcels Post.
Editorial-Joliet News.

Those who are alarmed at the
proba BILE affects of the new parcels
post law, which goes into effect Jan
uary l, should make full examina-
ton of its details before forming an
opinion of it's merits. The law was
passed by Congress last summer,
and it is not as far-reaching as most
advocates of the parcels post would
wish to have it. Certain of it's pro-
visions indicate plainly that it is, in
part at least, regarded as an expert
ment. Power is conferred, for in
stance, on the postmaster general, to
investigate it with the consent of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
and to modify weights and distances
in case that experience should prove
the need of changes.
The new law effects a reduction
in the postage charged on parcels
mailed in the United States, but the
reduction is not at all radical and
the rates are still very much higher
than those long established in Eu-
ropean countries. In England, Ger
many and Austria the sending of
parcels lat low rates has long been
an important part of the public SER
vice. In no European country has
the cheap parcels post worked hard
ship to any class. On the contrary
it is recognized everywhere abroad
as general advantage, and no one
would think of giving it up.
The rates of postage under our
new law are based, as in Europe, on
the zone system. A special series
of stamps >will be provided for par
GELS, ordinary postage stamps not
being recognized. nor will parcels
post stamps be disable for letters or
any other matter than parcels.
