POSTAL RATES FOR
PARCELS CONFUSE
To be Self-supporting Must
be According to Distance
the Parcel is Carried.

When the parcel post goes into ef-
feet on the first of January. says Post
master Kent, the operation Of the zone
system of rates on parcels is sure to
cause much confusion. APPARENTLY 1t
is a very complicated system though
actually based on a very simple prin-
ciple.
BY that time each post Office will be
supplied with a map showing Its
zones and handbooks of information.
The purpose OF the zones Is to charge
postage on a parcel according to the
distance it is sent. The long hauls by
rail will require greater postage to
make the system self-supporting. For
instance one pound at the local rate
will be carried for 5 cents. 1t will be
carried SO miles at the same rate. and
the rate increases by zones up to the
over-l .S00-mile zone, to which the
rate will be IL cents a pound.
Then there is a gradual increase in
the rate per pound up to IL pounds,
the limit of weight allowed. In the
local rate one cent per pound is added
for each pound, so that the eleven
pounds are carried for Is cents. For
the widening one the rates increase
at greater rate. until in the last zone
over 1900 miles-the increase is IL
cents a pound.
Much will have to be left to the dis
erection of the postmaster. He will
have to advise the post Office depart
ment as to how much he estimates
the amount Of mail matter will be, and
the department will have to decide the
number and kind of conveyances that
it will take to deliver the parcels
post.
An appropriation Of %s76o,000 has
been made by the government, and
this will probably see the parcels post
on its way until 1t is self-supporting.
1t will require some time for it to
adapt itself to local conditions.
According to the law which pro-
vides for the parcels post farm and
factory products "a be carried. in
fact. almost anything whose combined
length and girth is not over 72 inches
and not over ii pounds in weight,
that is anything which is not Of q ma
ture to injure the person OF any pos
tai employee or damage the mail equip
ment or other mail matter and not Of
Il character periahahle within a per-
iod reasonably required for transport
and delivery.

TO INVESTIGATE
RAILWAY CAMPS
The United States Consul at
Winnipeg says Charges
Will be Investigated.

According to word received in the
city from Winnipeg, an inquiry into
the condition Of the construction
camps of the firm Of Foley. WEIGH s
Stewart, operating in southwestern
Canada. will be made by the United
consul general Of the United States
In Winnipeg, has taken the matter up
with the authorities at Washington
and states that a thorough inquiry will
be made.
This statement followed the disclose
ures made q few days ago by a Can
adian government investigator: The
had been sent from Grand Forks,
Devils Lake and other North Dakota
places, were treated like slaves. the in
vestigator said, and his report has
aroused considerable feeling.
When interviewed in Winnipeg with
reference to the matter. DIR. Jones
said:
"This has been brought to my at
tention through numerous complaints
have been unjustly treated by the firm
in question and I have no objection. In
saying to you that I have taken this
matter up officially with the state De.
parment at Washington and also with
the government officials in Canada,
"The stories Whtcn come to me II
true disclose a condition Of affairs
which seem t call for immediate ac-
ton. I have had numerous COM
plants. both by letter and in person.
by men who claim to have been bad
ly treated and as American citizens
they have asked me to look into the
cases. Many of the men who were
brought in from eastern American
points. such as Boston. are stranded
in cities between Winnipeg and Brit
ish Columbia"
A representative Of the construction
firm with whom the matter was dis
cussed said the complaints were made
by a very small proportion Of the men
employed by Foley. WEIGH & Stewart.
He said the firm had been continuous
ly at work in Canada seven or eight
years. employing all the time thous-
ands of men. and that this was pre-
sumptive evidence that It's business
was we'll looked after.
There have been 5000 men on the
work all summer and thousands Of
men are employed at the present time.
It is said they are receiving the largest
wages ever paid in Canada for similar
employment and are satisfied and con.
tented.

OPINION Is GIVEN
Attorney General Norwood Thinks
School Law Should Be Passed.

Little Rock--In an opinion given
State Superintendent George b. Cook
Attorney General Norwood holds that
the school districts are not required to
deposit with county treasurers money
received from the sale Of bonds. lie
SAYS:
These questions are not free from
doubt, but it is my opinion that the
district would not be required to de-
posit the money with treasurer, unless
the act under which the money is bor-
rowed required it to be so deposited,
and il It should be deposited, in the
absence Of any express provision | do
not think the treasurer would be en-.
titled to a commission upon it.
Permit me to say in this connec-
ton that the next general assembly
should pass an act requiring that all
moneys Of school district, no matter
from what source received, should be
paid to the treasurer. In this way we
would have permanent public record
Of moneys received by school dis.
tricts and the manner Of its dsburse-
ment In that event, money borrowed
by a school district would be in the
custody Of a public official, who ia
under a proper and sufficient bend
for the discharge Of his duties.
81 presume that all money that has
been borrowed has been properly dis.
bursed, but It certainly is a loose sys.

the commission provided for the

him would be excessive on funds aris.
ing from the sale Of bonds, II could
be provided that the treasurer handle
the funds for less commission, or
for that matter no commission at ALL
