Parcel Post Schemes Opposed.

Investigation satisfied the senator that
parcel post schemes, besides being OBJ
jectionable to local merchants, will not
sufIice for any purpose. The parcel post
bills before Congress provide rates at 8
cents or Il cents a pound. namely. $50
and $40 q ton. he says, as methods Of
relief from "extortionate" express
charges, which average $31.2O a ton. He
says that IL any of these bills are passed
it will offend the local merchant. land
everybody else who finds out at last
what a lemon has been handed them by
Congress. after fifty years of deprivation
of q service enjoyed in most civilized
countries.
Besides, the express companies are
al much for carrying their packages as
the government would have to pay them
for carrying its packages under postal
Law, and in order to get the benefit Of
this relatively low railway rate the ex-
press companies contracts with the rail-
ways should be obtained" he says. I'm
this way the very lowest rates for the
small shipments could be secured Tor the
mefchants and the general public, and it
Is impossible under any parcel post
scheme"
High Express Rates.
Carefully prepared tables prove" the
senator says. "that the average express
rate In ten foreign countries amounts to
$4eS q ton, while in the United States
the average Is &s1.20 a ton. or practically
seven and one-third times greater In the
United States than in those foreign
countries.'
This in itself, In Mr.. Gardeners opinion.
ought to convince any fair-minded per-
son that there Is something radically
wrong in the express service, and the
~v-1x - of ic mr. M
plete parcel express service
THE results of unifying the express
service with the postal system and ru-
raj delivery" he says. would be to cut
the express rates In two. and would pro-
vide transportation for the small OPP
orator as welt as the large. he not need
ing under such a system to buy or main
tain a transportation system Of his own.
but could reach his customers directly
through a postal express service, which
would tend In large measure to relieve
the high cost of living. especially in the
vital necessities"

Grounds Of Objection,

Mr.. Brandeis concluded his letter with
the explanation that his criticism Of the
shoe machinery company's course was
not in its contesting the constitutionality
of the Massachusetts, act of 1907. govern
ing leases. but 'In 1t SO conducting its
business as to make it practically impos-
sible for any person to test the act, for
the company added to its leases u rider
by which it reserved the right to termi-
nate the lease in thirty days with or
without cause. which put the Massa-
chusetts manufacturer absolutely within
its power; he had to be good since no
substitute machinery was available to
him"

Senator Gardner Proposes
Parcels Express Service.
OPERATED BY GOVERNMENT
Plan to Reduce the Price Of Neces-
sites to the Consumer Is
Set Forth in Detail.

A bill to have the United States take
over the properties Of the express COM
pailies and operate them as q part OF
tie Post ONCE Department was intro
duced today by Senator Gardner OF
Maine.
To reduce the cost OF living, Senator
Gardner announces, is the object Of the
measure The consumer can order direct
from the farmer and the farmer can
send his produce direct to the consumer,
it is declared, the postal van getting the
shipment at the farm and delivering 1t at
the kitchen, collecting the price for the
farmer and renting 1t to him.
Cutting Price of Necessities.
To illustrate how the cost Of the nee
essaries will be reduced to tie consumer
he gave the following illustration: Two
dozen eggs, a dressed fowl, three pounds
of butter a like amount of country sau-
sage, a country-cured ham and half
a bout twenty miles from the Capitol by
n farmer for S2.S5. When they reached
the consumer in Washington they cost
him IS. IS. With the postal van connect
ing that farm with the kitchen In WASH
inEton and Is cents for transportation
charges the same would have brought
the articles from the farm direct to the
consumer at a price probably not ex-
ceeding the price secured by the farmer
plus the transportation cost.
The probable cost of acquiring the
properties of the express companies
Senator Gardner estimates to be SIS: l6o,-
$40. Assets of $147. 05o,5S4 in addition
are shown by the balance sheets Of the
express companies, he admits, but they
are devoted to functions not connected
with the express service itself, and
could be retained by the companies with
out impairment Of their values.
1t is Senator Gardners idea that the
present rates of the express companies
should be continued when the express
properties are taken over. until gradual
remedial changes in the rates could be
brought about by the rate-making depart
ment Of the post Office, subject to an ap-
peal to the interstate commerce commits
sion. The rates would continue to be
based on weight and length of haul.
In proposing that the government &C
quire the express companies. Senator
Gardner takes occasion to say that the
parcel post schemes proposed to. Con-
Gress will not accomplish the purpose
desired.
