Urges Parcels Express.

Representative Lewis, of Maryland.
urges parcels express aud spoke onsthe
subject in Congress on Saturday. Mr..
Lewis believes that parcels express
would do much toward solving lie high
cost of living problem that is of such vital
interest to everyone. and in stating his
views along these lines, said:
The hish cost Of living problem be.
fore the nation resolves itself into q
simple proposition tits how to trans.
port small shipments quantities to suit
the ultimate purchaser from producer 10
consumer. This sort of transportation is
now denied and The high cost Of living is
an inevitable result
.sThe railroad does business entirely By
wholesale. It's minimum is the 100 pound
shipment
We look to the express company to
carry small packages" says Mr.. Lewis.
II ought TO do il, but il does not, it can
not. The express company follows The
railway lines. II does not and cannot
reach the $4,000, ooo farmers and other
ruralites who compri-e nearly third Of
our population.
I'm ten countries OF Europe, not bless.
ed with express companies. but possess
ing an express service ran 10 the public
interest. The average express charge is
five times the average freight charge.
Our express companies exact IS times the
average freight charge, three times as
much as the European shipper pays.
IAN adequate system should include a
unified system Of transportation from
farm to city and city to farm, with no
gaps Of ion lie cost to seller or buyer. To
get such system low rates enjoyed by
the express companies are necessary, and
no private plan can ever give the desirei
benefits, because no private necessity for
profit will ever admit the public service
motive. Tie public management will ar
ticulate the country and the town, cut
the express rates 10 halt and develop a

These necessAries are indispensable;
and il is the duty OF Congress to give
serious consideration as to whether they
can afford to neglect this opportunity to
