PARCELS POST in EFFECT
AFTER JANUARY |, 1913
Provisions Of the Law. Passed by Congress Last
Summer Zone System Adopted-Rates will
be Based on Distances.

By act of congress, August "a,
1919, parcel post is to be establish
ed thruout the United States and
it's possessions on the first day Of
January, 1918.
The new law provides that after
January /, 1918; fourth class mail
matter shall embrace all other mat
ter including farm and factory
products. not now embraced by
law in either the first, second or
third class, not exceeding IL
pounds In weight, nor greater in
size than 70 inches in length and
eirth combined, nor IN form or
kind likely to injure the person of
any postal employee or other mail
matter and not of character per-
ishable within a period reasonably
required for transportation and de-
livery"
First class matter will continue
to consist of letters, etc, at .
cents per ounce or fraction thereof.
Second class matter consists of
periodicals. mailed TO subscribers at
| cent per pound. Third class
matter is books, other printed mat
ter, seeds, plants and bulbs at ]
cent for ounces for all distances.
Fourth class matter, therefore,
includes almost everything that
people have TO buy or cell other
than letters. newspapers and print
ed matter.
aOn all matter mailed At the
postofiice from which rural route
starts, for delivery on such route,
or mailed at any point on such
route for delivery at any other
point thereon, orsat the Office from
which the route starts, or on any
rural route starting therefrom, and

its delivery limits, for delivery BY
carriers faom that Office, or at any

the first pound or fraction OF O

Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1912-11-08

time introduces into the American
postal service for the purposes of
the new general parcel post the
principle of rates based on distance,
instead of one universal rate for all
distances, which has been the rule
heretofore.
The new law provides that the
postage on parcels up 70 but not
exceeding four ounces in weight,
shall continue 10 be a fat rate of !
cent per ounce for all distances.
The new rate will apply 70 all
parcels weighing more than. four
ounces that is, whether package
weighs Eve OUNCES or from that up
to Is ounces it will pay the pound
rate. Then if it weighs anywhere
between II and so ounces it will
pay the two pound rate and SO on.
The limit Of weight of any one
parcel is raised to IL pounds, same
as prevails in the parcel post be-
tween the United States and foreign
countries. The present weight
limit in the domestic mails is four
pounds.
Zones, and the rates Of Parcel
postage to each will be as follows:

LAUGHING STOCK
OF THE WORLD

The opening of the Panama Ca.
nal will be big boom to the CON-
merce of the world.
To no country will IL present so
big am opportunity as to the
United States, particularly for .x-
tending trade with the Latin-Amer-
lean countries. Yet, having no
merchant marine worthy the name,
we Ia * the first essential of getting
this trade. European countri,s
and steamship lines are making the
greatest preparations to secure The
south American trade, while the
country which Is putting its bnnd-
reds of millions into the digging of
the canal seems practically indiffer-
ent TO the opportunity it is about
70 let slip from its hands.
In the early days Of the republic,
thru governmental assistance, we
built up mercantile fleet carrying
eighty per cent of our foreign trade
and much of that of other nations.
Thinking our supremacy of the sea
WAS secure, governmental aid was
withdrawn, with the effect that the
percentage at once began to decline,
until now we carry but eight pei
cent of our trade. The nations
which have the great merchant
fleets of today all subsidize theil
vessels. Without q subsidy they
could not maintain their grip OF
the commerce of the world.
Another phase of the situation
should never be overlooked. Las
year seventy-tiye per cent of oul
ira de was carried in English ant
German bottoms. What wonlt
happen to our trade if these tw'
nations went TO war--a contingency
that may be realized any day? Th'
inevitable result would be that
with England aud German vessel
eliminated, The merchant fleets o
the rest of the world would not b
equal TO taking care of our trade
our products would remain on on
docks and our foreign trade woul
be hopelessly crippled. On th
oth4r hand should the Unite
| States be involved in war, ou
splendid fleet of fighting ship
would also be "hopelessly crippled
thru the lack of auxiliaries. whic
can only be Furnished by merchar
, vessels.
, AZ whatever angle one looks
Int, the lack of merchant marlI
. is one of our greatest national 70
: lies and justly makes, on the eve !
the opening of the Panama Cana
