whether a general parcels post will
prove successful. A general parcels
post bill has never been reported
from a committee so that it might
be voted Oh in the House of Repre-

On entering Congress | began to
work for bills providing for the
election of United States Senators

the excise tax, and all other meas
ures tending to relieve the burden
