NOTICE is hereby given by the under
signed, Treasurer of Montgomery county

The Parcels Post To Be Extended
Rapidly.

In the recent hearing before the Senate
Postoffice Committee, Postmaster General
Burleson made it plain he expected the
parcels post system to develop rapidly;
that he purposed to push it forward as fast
as expedient, and that he expected to see
the lOO-pOund parcel eventually eligible
for carriage by mail. His attitude alone
would not be so significant were it not for
the fact that Chairman Clark, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, made it plain
he favored similar development of the
system.
The statements of Mr.. BurlesOn and the
revelation of the attitude of the Interstate
Commerce Commission have shed a new
light on the possibilities of the parcels post
The truth is that Congress did not realize
fully what it was doing when it enacted
the parcels post law That law was sort
of compromise. Many members voted for it
believing that it would not seriously inter-
fere with the express companies or make
it possible for such parcel business to be
done by mail. Not few of them thought
the rates were such as to preclude the
farmers of the country from purchases and
sales to any extent through a mail order
system.
Now that Postmaster General and In
terstate Commerce Commission have the
enforcement of the law and propose to
exert their authority to develop it, men in
Congress who thought there was such a
check in the law that Congress would be
able to dictate rates are surprised.
Efforts of Senator Bryan, of Florida, to
get the section of the law which gives the
Postmaster General and Interstate Com
merce Commission power to modify the
regulations as they choose, will in all prob
ability fail. Congress, for the most part,
is glad to see the parcels post extended
and the express companies hit. if not put
out of business. The Bryan measure will
apparently not be passed, and if it should
be, President Wilson would doubtless veto
it. Meantime. demand comes from the
country to broaden out the scope of the
parcels post system.
