THE BURLEsON ORDER

The order of Postmaster General
Burleson, which contemplates increas-
ing the usefulness of the parcel post
by lowering the rates and increasing
the maximum of packages to be hand
led in the service raised a storm of
protest from the railroads and express
companies, but no kick has been forth
coming from the public. A few of the
Senators appear to be perturbed over
the matter and the Senate committe
Is endeavoring to ascertain by what
authority the Postmaster General has
undertaken to promulgate am order
Of such far reaching consequences,
without consulting that august body.
If this committee. will take the time
to Investigate public sentiment a lit
tie bit, instead of listening to the walls
OF express companies, it might find
that cooperating with the Postmaster
General would be more acceptable to
the people than the antagonism that
now appears to exist between the com
mittee and the Post Office Department.
During the short time that the parcel
post law has been effective, the value
of it has appeared in great conven-
fence and unQuestioned service to the
public and Postmaster General Burle-
sen is to be commended for standing
Fat" on his order.
1t has been a little more than six
months since the service contemplat-
ed by advocates of the parcels post
began, and the public is just beginning
10 see the value of the system. The
Postmaster General, who has been q
close observer of its operations, points
out where many improvements can be
made and shows himself to be a man
os action by issuing orders putting his
ideas into effect. He believes that if
small packages can be handled to adj
vantage, the service should be extend
cd in the interest Of the public well
fare. While Mr.. Burlesen may have
transcended his authority; the posi-
ton he takes is everlastingingly right
and should be sustained by the con-
gress. His ruling is in the interest OF
the rural communities and ought to
stand.

The Constitutional Commission has
proposed one amendment to the Con
stitution which deserves more than
passing notice. Under present condi-
tons, special tax measures and bond
issues to be passed upon by the people
are ratified by a majority of the reg
istered vote, and an elector whose
name appears on the registration book
may be counted against a proposition
of the kind suggested whether he casts
a ballot, or attends a game of base
ball. Not SO if the proposed amend
1nent relating to matters of the kind
suggested shall be ratified by the peo-
PIE, for it provides that they shall
be approved by a majority of those
who shall vote thereon" Many meri-
torious measures have failed of adop-
lion on account of the stay-at-home
vote and the amendment suggested
ought to be adopted.

The location Of that st. Petersburg,
(FIa.) colony in this vicinity spells big
things for Hendersonville, Henderson
county and Western North Carolina.
1t is said that sixty families will be
located during the year and lao 9th

Cohen, the wide-awake manager of the
Greater Western North Carolina Asso-
citation, is due much of the credit of
attracting the Florida people to this

The Corporation Commission did a
fine piece of work in it's conference
with representatives of the railroads
at Old Point Comfort, Va, last week.
The carriers propose a general reduc-
ton of % per cent. The Commission
will report the result of it's activities
to Governor Craig, without, prejudice.
The proposition sounds mighty good
to us and we hope the Governor may
see his way clear to accept it and end
the controversy.
