Parcels Post Bates Too High

The rates are the weakest link in the
parcels post system, declared Congress-
man David !. Lewis, of Maryland, when
asked what he thought of the new postal
service after its first week of operation.
The rates are too high" he said.
that's the reason the farm products are
not moving to the city consumer. lust
think, it costs IS cents to carry eleven
pound package from fiitv mile point
into city. The rate shouldn't be more
,han IS cents. Most of the farms which
can supply the CITY consumer directly
with produce are beyond the local zone.
There is only one thing to do and that's
10 shave down the rates so traffic will
move through the parcels post.
1T costs two cents TO move pound
200 miles. Investigation of express com
pany operations show that it cos,s four
cents to handle 80 pounds Under these
conditions the rates should come down. 4"
Mr.. Lewis advises shippers who believe
the rates are too high to lay their COM
plants before the Postmaster-G General.
He says that official has the authority to
take the matter up with the Interstate
Commerce Commission to have the rates
lowered
The parcels post got splendid test

A Year of Thirteen Months.

An International conference was held
in Switzerland last summer for The con-
sderation of the adoption of perpetual
calendar. The change proposed would
make the year consist of IS months of
rs days each, making total of 364 days
a year the day left over would not be
counted in any month, but would pre-
cede January Ist. and be called simply
New Years Day In leap years the
extra day would not be counted in any
month, but would follow the last day
of December. The new month would
occur between June and July.
AS an illustration of how this would
work in spractice let us begin with the
year 1916, which will commence on Sat
urdav This day in the new calendar
would be simply the opening day of the
year, Sunday would then be the first day
of January.
Each month in the year would have an
equal number of days-2S. The months
and the weeks would always begin on
Sunday and end on Saturday, so that any
particular week day of one month would
fall on the corresponding day OF the
next and of each succeeding month. 1t
would then not be necessary TO have a
calendar for each month, as the days of
each month would be identical with
those of the first month.-Harper's

Maryland was valued at s., 100000. The
total number of sheep OF shearing age o.,
April IS, 1910, was I26, 900, an increase q
1872 per cent, as compared with the
number on June I, Iooo-II2 900. The
approximate production of wool during
1900 was I22 600 fleeces, weighing 7o5, ooC
pounds, and valued at 5000, 600 The
average value per pound was rs cents, a:
compared with % cents in 1899.
The total value of crops in Maryland II
1909 was S43.o2o, 600. OF this amount
oo.4 per cent. was contributed by crop!
for which the acreage as well as the value
was reported, the remainder consisting o
the value of -products-straw, garden

A Look at the Exchanges.

Ii IS curious To trace to IFS source the
present equanimiiy with reference to the
extra session of Congress, and the like
lihood of tariff reduction. If YOU talk
with a wool manufacturer about the tariff
he will tell YOU that he feels sick; but he
does not tell it in way that makes you
think that the very life Of the industry is
at stake. AS yet there has been little
if any, of the hysterical talk among this
class that was heard on all sides at the
time that the Wilson Tariff was under
discussion is years ago. Among the
cotton and other New England manu-
faCturers likely to be affected by tariff
revision, the feeling. so far as expressed
in words, is even less acute than among
the wool manufacturers.
1t is not difficult TO discover number
of causes for this comparatively lndltfer-
ent attitude. Manufacturers themselves
admit that present conditions diner
widely from those witnessed when the
last downward revision of the tariff was
made. This may be very clearly Illus
trated in the case OF our wool mills.
In 1894 they were genuinely alarmed,
and they had every cause 10 be. lhcy
had eujoved high protection for SO many
wears, were well extended, credit wise,
and had been very careless about per-
fectng their methods of manufacture;
whereas, on the other hand, the English
manufacturers bad for nearly four years
been under the depressing influence OF
the Darling reorganization and the alter
math Of the London panic Of 1890.
Unsold goods, has been pillng up in
the hands OF the English trade at rate
seldom. if ever before, Witnessed; an
English textile trade review OF 1894
calculated that the home trade OF that
country in woolens had declined at least
20 per cent, from five or six years be-
fore. The result of these two sets of
circumstances was that for two years or
more the English mills dominated our
markets, that we had to take large inn
ports when our own trade needed the
market and that the home trade was ex-
ceedingly depressed.
This was not an unmiXed evil for it
made our manufacturers overhaul and
perfect their methods. To-day they need
have very little fear of Europe on the
score of efficiency Nor is there the
slightest fear OF an inundation of stored
up foreign wooden goods. Our wooden
mills are exceptionally well sup
piled with orders for 1918. Some Of
them have recently been boasting that
their books were full for the year and
that they were therefore immune to that
extent This conclusion does not follow
from the premises; for 1t
makes no allowance for cancellations.
Still the manufacturers who talk this way
doubtless have got a great deal OF
ground for the faith that is in them
Taking our manufacturers of standard
lied goods as a whole, the opinion here
is that Europe has at present all that it
can do to supply its own demands. The
meaning of this would be that, whereas
in 1898, our manufacturers had no time
at all to adjust themselves to the ew
conditions created by the tariff revision,
they would have on the present occasion,
by reason of Europe's sold up condition,
all of the opportunity which is needed
for adjustment. - New York Evening
Post.

Progressives Lose.

In a lengthy opinion submitted by
Lewis Putzel, counsel to the Board Of
Supervisors Of Elections, Mr.. Putzel ruled
that the Progressives are not entitled to
consideration as "one OF the two political
parties in the State"
This means that should the ruling be
sustained by the courts, the Republicans
and not the Progressives will have the
appointment of half the judges and clerks
Of election, the Democrats having the
naming Of the other half
The decision of the Republican Board,
through its counsel, Mr.. Putzel, Repub-
lican, will, however, not be accepted as
final by the Progressive party, it is said.
The matter will be submitted to the Court
of Appeals to pass on.

Parcel Post and the Cost of
Living.

AS novelty the new Parcel Post is
affording much enjoyment to the Amer
lean people in the trial shipments of
fruit, eggs, beefsteaks and what not.
Asa settled means of reducing the high
cost of living through the elimination of
the middlemdn, its worth remains to be
proved.
Secretary Wilson thinks that it will
cheaper the farmers cost of marketing
without lowering the cost to consumers.
But when the farmer as direct retail
seller has taken upon himself the dealers
risks, and the cost of making up small
packages for safe Shipment, his gain may
disapp ear
Packages ofa dozen eggs now coming
into the city from within the first zone
bear postage up to IA cents, or over
40 per cent, on the present farm price
of 81 cents, and there is the cost of the
carting and the packing to be added.
But 80 dozen eggs in one crate from the
same farm can come by express for
around $I.25, or only about four cents
dozen.
No more need to be said to show that
the Parcel Post is not to settle the high
cost of living problem. 1t will prove
a great convenience in many ways. But
the law Of greater economy in transport
ing by wholesale, remains unrepealed
