The growth of this plant has been
one of the things that have shown
local capitalists and promoters the
possibilities that lie before Olympia,
in the line of manufacturing the mil

uncut within the territory tributary

steady and consistent, illustrating the
claims of those particularly interested

POST LAW
EFFECTIVE JAN. 1ST
Democratic Congress Reduces
Charges rs Per Cent Under
Express Rates.

After many years of fighting, the
agricultural interests of the United
States, through Democratic Con-
gress, have obtained a parcels post
law which according to the congress
sional figures reduces the cost of send
ing packages weighing II pounds or
less 1851 per cent under the current
express rates. The new law is effec-
tive January 1, 1912. and the regula-
tons to govern it are now being franz
ed by the postoffice department.
If for no other reason, the Congress
just closed will ever remain one Of
great interest to the people. The sys-
tenn is founded on the zone plan in
lead of fiat rate, graduated charges
being fixed according to distance, the
charge increasing as the distance
grows. Following are the rates:
Zone Fifty miles, 5 cents first
pound and 3 cents each additional
pound.
Zone 2.-One hundred and fifty
mil s; rate cents first pound and 4
cents each additional pound.
Zone 3.-One hundred and fifty
miles to 800 miles; rates, cents, and
cents each additional pound.
Zone 4.-Three hundred miles to 600
miles; rate, cents and cents each
additional pound.
Zone Silk hundred miles to 1000
miles; rate, 9 cents, and cents each
additional pond.
Zone Gone thousand miles to 400
miles; rate, 10 cents and 9 cents each
additional pound.
Zone Up to 1880 miles, II cents
and 10 cents each additional pound.
Zone S.-All distances beyond 1900
miles, IL cents, and II cents each ad-
ditional pound.
1t should be explained that any
package of four ounces, and less, takes
the package reaches five ounces 1t be-
comes subject to the pound rate. which
is 5 cents in the first zone and up to
II cents in zone eight. This last zone
takes in all distances over 1900 miles.
For example, any point on Puget
Sound can be reached on a basis of Z
cents for one pound, q cents for five
pounds and SO cents for 10 pounds,
with lower rates according to distance.
The rate under the new law on a
rural route involving only one post
Office, is cents for the first pond,
and 1 cent each additional pound. Any
parcel not over IL pounds in weight
and not more than ~ inches in length
and girth combined. not likely to in
jure the mail or postal equipment or
employees, may be sent for this rate
from any point on a rural route to
the postoffice from which the rural
route starts, and if this Office is a
free delivery office the package may
be delivered within the city. The par
eel may also be dropped into the mail
box in the city and collected for de-
livery on the rural route.

GOLD TINE MEMORIES"

Many times before his death, Har-
vey Scott, founder and publisher of
the Portland Oregonian, endeavored
to persuade Washington's dean Of
newspaper editors, John Miller Muir
ply, to write his "reminiscences of
early days in the territory. But in
the rush of work and the responsible
ties that attend the editorship of THE
WASHINGTON STANDARD, the post he
filled so long, Mr.. Murphy was unable
to find the time to comply with his
friends request.
Since his retirement from the active
editOrship of the STANDARD, however,
Mr.. Murphy has been kind enough to
write his "reminiscences for the paper
whose policies he directed for so long
and the series has aroused great in
terest among the papers readers. 1t
is Mr.. Murphy's intention to issue the
series in book form later, the series
he is now writing for the STANDARD
being merely a preliminary mapping
out of the many good things from an
historical standpoint that this book
will contain.
Those of you who have enjoyed the
articles Mr. Murphy has already
written, will look forward to these he
is planning for the future, but above
all you will want the book upon which
he Is working, for in it will be infor-
nation. historical data, and anecdotes
and incidents of the early days in the
history of Olympia and the territory
that no one else can tell you-no other
historian can write. 1t will be a vast
fund of information about your home,
of sidelights and tales bristling with
the humor and the quaint, pointed
expressions that set him apart from
his brother newspaper men during the
81 years of his active editorship.
The new owners of the STANDARD
appreciate more than they can ex-
press the kindness Mr.. Murphy is
doing them in continuing as associate
editor, conducting as he is his own de-
partment, writing what he pleases and
when he pleases. We hope he will
continue with us so long as he de-
sires," as we said in the announcement
OF our purchase of the STANDARD and
we know that in expressing such a re-
quest we are putting into words the
thoughts of all our readers.

WASHINGTON Co

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Repre-
sentative Lloyd of Missouri, chairman
of the Democratic congressional COM
mittee, who has just returned from a
trip in the West, says:
'The real contest this year seems to
be between the Roosevelt and Taft
factions for second place. All the pol
iticians | have seen seem to be willing
to admit that Wilson will be elected,
but the Roosevelt men l have met are
all certain that he will get more votes
than Taft. 1t remains to be seen
whether an active, energetic lot of
campaigners. such as Roosevelt has,
will be able to get more votes out than
the apparently quiescent, disheartened
Taft men,"
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1912-09-13

not. 1t might not be entirely wrong to
study this point in the light of what
happened in some of those Ohio cities
when they went dry, or, closer home,
at Shelton, or Everett or Bellingham.
To approach the local option issue
fairly, without cant, bias, glittering
generalities or prejudice on one side
or the other, one should rightly anal
we the experience of the cities that
have voted dry in the past. Above all,
it is so important matter to Olympia
just at this time that it should not be
answered hastily or ignorantly or ma
liciously. One should know the facts
before one votes, facts borne out by eX-
perience and not merely tossed to the
public by some ranting speaker on one
side or the other.
The question is rightly a peoples
question, to be settled by the people
according to the predominating senti-
ment. When a certain number of a
citys voters desire the privilege of
formally expressing their views on it,
it is particularly right that the privi-
lege should be granted, not only to
these but to all the voters of the com
munity. 1t is their property, their
families, their homes, their taxes,
their city and its growth and prosper
ity that are involved and from them
must the answer come.
It's effect on the future of Olympia
as the state capital, the upbuilding
or the retarding of the city at time
when prosperity and progress are al
most within its grasp. the tendency it
will have to bring business to this
city or to drive it away to some other,
that must be considered. 1t is more
than moral problem, more than a
taxation questiOn-at this stage in
| Olympia's history it involves all the
projects for it's development and
growth.
Consequently THE WASHINGTON
STANDARD hopes that the voters OF
Olympia will not act hastily or rash'y
in deciding this question or be blinI
ed by prejudice or cant.
