and almost puerile alterations now be-
ing proposed by the department. MY
conversation with members or the com.

these alterations will never be pernAeteo s

tenn.
Before leaving this phase OF the SUP

senseless regulations governing the
parcel post which. / understand. the

A few days ago ] called upon W. a
Ryan one of the examiners or the IN
terstate commerce commission, at MS
office. He had package or bluegrass
seed, which he said weighed five ana
one-half pounds. which he desired 10
ship to his home at Chevy Chase. He
was declaiming somewhat emphat1cally
against the Inconsistencies OF the par
Gel post. ~
Look at this package" he said. I
took it to the post Office and offered
1T to be sent by parcel posi- to my
home at Chevy Chase. And what to
you suppose they wanted? Forty-four
cents! -
what is in the package?" L asked.
Grass seed he replied.
Il see you don't understand this par
eel post I told him. Just give me
that package and | will mail it to
Chevy Chase for you. and it won't cost
tyou ~ cents, either
He gave me the package and | took
lit down to the post office | wrote my
own name and address upon it, az re-
quired by the parcel post regula tions,
and presented it to be mailed to Chevy

Would Be Unfair, He Says.

The adoption of these changes as
suggested would result in irrecon-
cilable discrepancies, and would, in my
opinion. produce an immense deficit in
the Post Office Department, while max
ing the parcel post the medium of the
express companies in performing eX-
pepsive delivery work in the 150-mile
zone l will point out briefly some of
the results of these changes.
Under this plan the rate on twenty
pounds in the first zone would be 15
cents. II package were destined to
any point within the l50-mile radius
would apply. But TO ship twenty pounds
$50 miles ii would be necessary to
divide it into two ten-pound packages
and pay the present rate, S1.04. This
IS an increase of SO cents for crossing
an ina 81 nary line.
l will give just one example of how
the express companies would be able to
use these new rates for making expensive
deliveries. and effectually preventing the
parcel post from obtaining any large vol
ume of the more profitable long distance
business.
Under the new schedule of express rates
proposed by the interstate commerce COM
mission the rate from New York to Des
Moines will be $3.50 per 100 pounds. The
parcel post rate is 81 cents for ten pounds
Or }9.10 for 100 pounds, which could be
shipped only in ten packages. Under the
proposed change the express companies
might ship 1O-pound packages from
New York to Des Moines then break said
shipment into five twenty pound packages
and distribute them any place within I5O
miles OF Des Moines for i cents each or
"a cents. Thus the express companies
could ship 10 Des Moines. make all ex-
pensive deliveries on rural routes and To
points where they have no offices within
the 1JO-mile radius for the combination
rate of s4.05 per leo pounds while the
cost by parcel post would be $a1O Quite
naturally the parcel post would get none
pf the business except the expensive de-
livery business. which. in my opinion,
rduld not be done except at q loss

He looked at me a little curiously
This looks like a package that was
presented here not long ago. to be
mailed to Chevy Chase, which was said
to contain grass seed
May be-" I replied. but this is bird
seed. What is the rate?'
He quoted me a rate of 10 cents.
stamped the package and mailed it,
and l understand it was duly delivered
TO Mr.. Ryan's address at Chevy Chase.
The regulation governing the shipment
OF such packages Is found in paragraph
. of section of the parcel post regula-
t1ons, and reads as follows:
samples OF wheat or other grain in it's
natural condition, potatoes, beans. peas.
planting must be prepared at the special
rate or postage prescribed in paragraph 4,
out when intended to be used as food the
parcel post rates apply"
Paragraph reads as follows:
seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots scions
and plants are matter Of the fourth class.
notwithstanding that a special rate of
postage Il cent for each two ounces or
traction thereof regardless of distance)
applies thereto. The limit of weight is
increased to eleven pounds by the parcel
post law tsee section -, but no other
change is made
l have proposed to the Postmaste Cen
erai a suggestion for an entire revision
ana
rates, which believe meets the three
prime requirements in such a schedule
simplicity. economy and efficiency. While
do not pretend to say that it is the best
system that can be devised. do contend
tnat IT Is far superior to the reyisions
proposed by the Post Office Department.
and 1t has the merit of revising the en-
TIRE system consistently, and providing a
Ioundation upon which future develop
ment can be built without the necessity
or abrupt and unrelated alterations, which
Will disturb the relations of one part of
the system to another.
Method Of Finding Rate.
1 The rate in the so-called Kindel gradu-
ate may be found always by multiplying
the weight in pounds by the zone and
adding three, the overhead charge. Thus.
the rate on nine-pound package to the
eighth zone is nine times eight plus three.
or Is cents
The zones increase in extent as the
distance from the sending office in
creases; thus reducing the rates per
ton mile as the distance increases in
accordance with a we'll established
principle of rate making. propose
nine zones instead of eight, in order
tnat nat rate shall not prevail over
from extreme seacoast points as is
the case under the present system
l would suggest that the weight limit
be increased to fifty pounds, not alone
In the hrst zone, but throughout the
country. Ultimately the parcel post
Is to replace the express companies in
the Transportation of smaller packages
that require prompt and careful atten-
ton. This end can never be reached
unless the weight limit is increased
even to 100 pounds or more and
throughout the country. BY a simple
method of changing the manner of
computing the rates above fifty pounds
this schedule may be extended to al
most any weight, the change being
necessary to prevent the charge becom-
ing too great for large weights.

The Christmas Editor thought he
would test her narrative. He went
