The True asenledy ;,

Announcement by the Interstate
Commerce Commission that it pro-
poses to take the express companies
in hand and reduce their, rates will
be hailed with as much satisfaction
by the people at large, says the BAL
timore Sun, as the expulsion OF Lor.
timer from the Senate. Some may
incline to the belief that a reduction
of the express rates would further
intrench the express companies and
retard the parcels post movement,
but the Sun takes the more logical
view that such action by the COM
mission would only serve to empha-
size the. 'demand Tor a parcels post
system. which will surely be forth
coming in the near future. Says
the. Sun:
iUnhappily, the new rates are not
to go into effect until further hear
ings in October. and possibly there
may he.other delays after that time.
as is often the case in court, or
quasi court, proceedings Neverthe-
less, a very important step, has been
taken in bringing these companies
to book and in the decision by the
commission that their charges need
scaling.
1t is safe to say, however. that
the action of the commission will
not be permitted to sfdetrack the
popular demand for a government
parcels post. Both parties are
pledged to a parcels post in their
platforms this year. and no matter
which wins, this will probably be
one OF the earliest legislative re-
forms to be put through.
Commissioner Lane, who wrote
the report, voices the public feeling
with regard to the express COM
panles mildly when he says: ut is
not deniable that the express CON-
pany has to slight degree lost the
confidence OF the people fE serves. u
"slight degree" but slightly ex-
presses 1t. The monopoly and the
overcharges of the companies have
made them a national issue, and all
the hounds in both political packs
are on their trails. The commits
sion is doing good preliminary
work and Is responding to public
sentiment, but the American people
will not be content with any merely
palliative or. halfway measures. Nc
other popular demand, except fol
tarif reform. is in any way so un'
mistakable and SO insistent. The
people want a parcels post system
which wNl give them the same
Transportation conveniences and ad
lvantages that the people of othel
countries enjoy, and they mean te
have 1t, and to have it soon. :
