PARCELS POST AND MONOPOLY.

Says the New York American: The great benefits that the parcels post has conferred on shippers who have made use Of it is proved by the pit eous plea of the express companies that it is interfering with their busi. ness it has been found, however, that many small dealers in the villages. through the sort of conservatism that acts as a brake on progress, have not taken the trouble to use it, or to learn how effective means it is of cutting down the cost 0 ftrans' portatiou of small 9sokages. This is particularly true in the villages.
 The parcels post will, Of course. in time be eytendcd The weights and bulk limits will be increased and it will supply an example of public ownership that will be extremely use full to tho country. When merchants of the type who would refuse twenty dollar gold pieces if offered then at .. dollar apiece understand it's value, those distressed monopolists, the ez, press companies, will have still more reason to complain. In the meantime the service is growing rapidly, and congress will soon, find it necessary to increase it's scope.

Referring to the fact that some Of tbe home industries and enterprises complain that they ere not properly uatronized by home people the New orleans Picayune says they are ignored because they do not adver- tise and create demand for their products. The Picayune adds.
 There is but one way for an in dns;ry to expand its trade. and that is to advertise as extensively as the business will permit. The first and most desirable market is 'he home market. hence every industry should advertise primarily in Its home papers ana follow that mp with broadened field ct publicity as trade warrants s5ch an expanElcns Y is of the hfs' ippor44s5iee, howeFsE.l that every in. dsistrv should control the home mar kot. and that cannot be done except by IeiIsng ,the nome peopSi know what t has to sell by advertising in fhe local papers.

TAKING LAND FOR THE STATE

The failure of the last legislature to provide for the disposition of pub lie lands of the state. after they have. been selected by the state land com mission is being generally criticized as a failure that will retard the com. ing of homsseekers who may desire to take lands for farming and making homes.
 The enabling act which resulted in the admission of Arizona as state granted to the new commonwealth more than two million acres Of land. A state land commission was provided 10 make selections of this land, tha commission having the choice of all the lands in the state belonging to the government The commission is expected 10 choose the best land available and the most valuable land  is that suitable for making homes for settlers.
 Already the commission has se- lected many thousands Of acres Of land located in the Sulphur Spring and San simon valleys in this coun- ty and in the other-semi-arid valleys of the state whsre settlement has been begun during recent years and pump irrigation and other means of reclamation undertaken.
 The criticism now is that the leg islature made no provision for .,ths disposition of the lands taken from the government by the state to those who uight desire to settle and make homes. It is claimed that this condi- tion will put a check to agricultural development in the state which is much desired.
 In the legislature the question ot inc disposition of the states pubic land occupied great deal ot time' hut no definite plan was agreed to- so hat there will be no means of se- clring any right to land. except o5 teppo.sry lease. until the meeting oi :he next legislature. The legislature would probably provide for protec' tion of a bona fde settler on the pub rc l,ras of the state. but home .o.rer would not be justified in making required expenditure TOT Dumuiug plants, fencing and other fropro, ements without his rights were guaranteed in advance.
