Secure Enactment of Much =
e'7*'s x Desired Law. ',"s"- :: ::

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Efforts
are being made to secure the passage
of the parcel-post bill recently intro
duced by Senator Bourne of Oregon.
It is understood that President Taft
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
are infavor of this measure. =:
1t Is, claimed by those who favor
the bill that it is the most scientific
and businesslike plan yet devised for
a parcel post.
Six zones of distance4are provided
by the bill, ranging from so to 1000
miles. The rate of delivery within the
first one is &C. for the additional zone
until in the sixth zone they reach a
maximum of 12c a pound, which is
the rate now charged by the interna-
tional parcels post.
1t is provided that distinctive
stamps will be used for the postage
on parcels post matter, so that an
accounting of receipts from that
service may be more accurately kept.
The chief opposition to the parcels
post, it is stated, comes from the
country merchant, but it is argued
that it would eventually help him, for
he will undoubtedly profit by the gen.
eral business stimulus created by the
measure. y. .

several amendments, passed the sem
ate On June s. 1921, the house of

Tor his approval or disapproval.

was very much inclined that way ten

which will keep him out of the. storm
