Parcel Post

THE inauguration OF the parcel
post system in America seems to be
all that the people could ask. There
is hardly a postoffice in America
to-day of any importance, where the
system was not tried out.
The fact that express companies
gave good and safe transportation
brought them a tremendous trade.
1t made millionaires OF the stock
holders but they forget the people in
their greed and made charges so
high that the dividends were beyond
ordinary belief. The same extor-
tomato people fought the parcels
post and kept it down till the first OF
this new year. They can feel them
selves slipping, as the records in
the small and outlying p~ostoffices al
tend TO show that the people are
welcoming this modern system 81
service.
It. like the postal bank, offers a
safe. cheap and sane way of treating
the public. There is no reason
found why a corporation or set of
men should forever be allowed to
take all the benefits and at the same
time fight the progress OF the times.
The parcel post is an old %institu-
ton in Europe. and was prevented
in America by the work of the eS-
press companies. The people have
an inning and it is hoped that they
will appreciate the opportunity OF
the year 1913 It's worth while ~
live and see the advancement made
along broad and, intelligent lines.
Nevada needs it as much as any
other State in the Union and should
be one Of the heavy patrons of this
new proposition.

Review

The Reclamation Service Comnls-
sion Of the United States las recent
ly made its report, and some aston
fishing and agreeable results are
shown. At the time Senator New
lands proposed this modern legisla-
ton many were sceptical over the III
innate outcome. This was especial
" true in Nevada, as it had been ad-
vertised as a land OF waste and sage
brush. Newlands insisted that Ne
yada be given the first project. The
Carson-Truckee project vas author
lied and As the statements are pub
lishcd they are pleasing. to say the
least.
1t is shown that many thousansds
OF acres that were foreign to lie
giving water. are now cleared and
reclaimed. Homes have sprung into
lie where the sand dunes shifted,
factories are going. a town has
grown to goodly proportions. with
all modern conveniences. Electric
Energy is made and distributed
through the medium of the reclama-
ton act, and a substantial popula-
ton added 10 Nevada. The project
will eventually pay the government
back every dollar expended and the
| world made better by permanent I'M
provement.
All this has cost less THAI one bat
tleship or the guns that are mount
ed on her deck. 1t spells peace and
prosperity, and it reads like a fairy
story. There is room for a genera
tons work along such lines. and the
! further it is carried the better the
results. Reclamation spells pros
! perity. and Nevada is in line for her
/ share of it.

SUGAR TARIFF AND INCOME
TAX OPERATIVE MARCH FIRST

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 38.-
PQstponement OF the date on which
the new sugar tariff shall go into ef.
feet until March |. 1914, and 4 change
OF date when the income tax shall be
operative from January !. 1914, 10
March /. 1914, were agreed upon by
majority members OF the committee
to-day.
In advancing the date when the pro.
posed rate OF cent pound on sugar
shall be applied. the committee did not
amend the schedule to affect the pro.
vision that sugar shall go on the free
list May l, 1916. That provision re-.
mains as 1t was originally in the bill
which passed the house and which the
senate approverd last week.
The date upon which the income tax
can be computed for the first year was
changed to March for the reason that
the date in the bill, January ], 1913,
would make the section unconstitu.
tional. inasmuch as the income tax
amendment to the constitution was
not ratified by two-thirds of the States
and proclaimed by the Secretary OF
State until February 25. 1918.
