For Parcels Post Changes

Revolutionary changes in the parcel
post system, which if put into opera
ton Eby the Postoffice Department
would drive the express companies out
of business within six months, it is
said, will be recommended to Post
master-General Burleson and the Nat
ional Parcel Post Commission by Repre-
sentative David ]. Lewis, of Mary
land.
Mr.. Lewis recommendations are in
corporated in 5,OOO-word brief, in
which he advocates that immediate
steps be taken to reconstruct the pres
ent system so that it may become a
popular transportation conduit for the
retail package. The brief is intended
by Mr.. Lewis to form basis for the
Postoffice-General's appeal to the In
ter-State Commerce Commission for
changes in operative methods of the
new postal system.
In brief Mr.. Lewis recommendations
are:
Increase the weight limit from II
pounds to'10O pounds on all to be COL
lected and delivered.
Have no weight limit on packages
which are delivered and will be called
for at postal terminals.
Establish a simple system of zones,
wit 70
Establish rate about 20 per cent
the cost of services-i. e., rate of
three cents for the first pound, plus
half cent for each additional pound
in the first zone; and for subsequent
zones an additional half cent per lb.
for each additional zone of 100 miles
no charge to exceed IL cents per pound.
Restore the old fourth-class rates
and establish supplemental parcel or
express fourth-class, admitting express
matter generally, with proper excep-
tons, to which zone rate shall apply
Reform the packing regulations so
that articles carried by express may be
carried in containers when necessary.
Reform the insurance and C. o. D.
rates so that an article may be issued
according to its value.
Establish fast-freight parcel post
service, by which space in freight cars
on the fast fright lines can be bought
and issued for the carrying of big par
GELS.
One of the most sweeping reductions
of Mr.. Lewis is that of the rates.
He has investigated the cost of pos
tai transportation and finds that a
half cent pound will carry a package
25O miles. The rate of three cents for
che first pound he proposes is arbitrar Y
and the half cent for each additional
pound and for every 100 pounds will re-
duce the present rate more than one
half.
As an illustration a11-pound package
within 100 miles of Baltimore under the
present system costs 46 cents; by ex-
press it costs 40 cents. Under the new
Lewis rates it would cost 8 cents.
Within 200 miles of Baltimore the pre-
sent rate is 81 cents; by express. SIS;
proposed new rates, IA cents. A mar
ket basket weighing so pounds from
within 100 miles of Baltimore would
cost % cents; by express IA cents.

Aids Farmers To Borrow.

Representative Feank o. Smith, of
Maryland, in bill introduced recently,
calls upon Congress to establish a
National Bureau of Credits,' the
duty of which shall be to aid farmers
to borrow money more easily, with
their farm lands as security.
The bill provides that farmer own
ing so acres of land valued at $1,000
may apply to the sub-bureau for a
valuation of bis property. A corps of
appraisers are to fix the value of the
land, ascertain if any other indebted
ness hangs over the property and then
name the amount for which bonds may
be issued When the bonds are issued
the land is conveyed in trust to the
director of the State sub-bureau as
security for the amount of money the
the farmer wishes to borrow on the
property.

SUFFRAGISTS AND
ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS

The fundamental principle
of our Republic is this: In
deciding what is to be done,
lUhere euerybOdy's interests
are concerned, we take every
body's opinions and then de-
eide according to the wish
of the majority as expressed
through the casting of votes.
In getting at the wish of the
majority certain persons, whose
opinions evidently are not worth
counting, are passed over.
In Maryland these persons are
idiots, lunatics, criminals (not
pardoned) and women.
Maryland Suffragists believe women's
opinions are worth counting and want
to be promoted from class made up of
the offscourings of the earth to the dig
nifty of citizenship.
Anti-Suffragists are not only willing
to be ranked politically with the cursed
and degraded, but publicly plead and
petition against promotion. They do
not want their own opinions counted
and they are endeavoring to prevent
other women's opinions from being
counted.

vices" The question was raised by Fer
dinand l. Morton, OF New York City.

members appointed TO arrange for the
celebration Of the fftieth anniversary of
the emancipation proclamation.
Mr. Morton. under directions from the
commission, asked if commissioner
was entitled to indemnity for pecuniary
loss sustained because Of absence from
his vocation or TO reimbursement for
the hire of . substitute
The Attorney General holds that "ac-
tual necessary expenses cover items
such as hotel bills. railroad fare. etc.
but not remuneration for loss Of time
In another opinion Mr.. Carmody ruled
that the state was not liable for the ex-
pense incurred by parole agent who
assumed the responsibility for board

sponsiblity which the parole agent as
