In the field that the Parcels Post would
cover. there is no competition-the express
companies have monopoly and fix the rates
to suit themselves.
10 acquire the telegraph lines would mean
their purchase by the government at an esti-
mated cost of $3.50, 100000, while for the Par
GELS Post the government already has the
equipment--the government has in it's employ.
already, nearly the full force necessary to
carry ON the additional business that the Par
cells Post would create. By raising the weight
limit on one class Of mail matter, and adding
IN numbers to the already organized postal
; service force, the thing would work as
smoothly as the mail service does today.
The X. f. ID. IS now operated at a loss but
the Parcels Post in connection with the r. F.
D. would wipe out the annual deficit and leave
a surplus.
The farmer is now unable to use the express
service because the rates are so high that they
prohibit his doing so-the Parcels Post would
enable him to use an express service because
1T would make it profitable to him to do so.
> The Parcels Post would open to the small
producer the market that is now closed to him
it would bring the consumer in touch with
the producer and thus decrease the cost of liv-
ing, while it gave the producer more for his
product
= Europe proves to us that government owned
telegraph lines give the public complete salts
faction and pay the government profit
2Europe also proves to us that ours is the only
country that has made forward strides and
has not adopted Parcels Post. What Europe
proves to us about governments owned tele-
graph systems, Europe also proves about the
Parcels Post.
While testifying before the Stanley Com
mittee, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie told how the
present Secretary of State, Knox, got his first
big political job.
According to Mr. Carnegie, he was opposed
to the election of Mr. Mckinley for President
in 900-he promised $4,000 and actually
gave $4,000 to campaign fund to be used
against Mckinley. During the campaign he
received an offer from J. P. Morgan & Co.
for his share of the Carnegie Steel Company,
and he agreed to accept the same. After
receiving this offer from Morgan he ceased to
oppose the election of Mckinley, and did not
give the other $4,000 to the anti Mckinley
campaign fund.
Mckinley was elected President, Carnegie
went to Mckinley and recommended to him
Philander G. Knox, then attorney for the Car
negie Steel Company. for Attorney General,
and upon Carnegies recommendation McKin-
ley appointed Knox Attorney General, and
