STATES URGED TO
PASS ELECTION LAW
Failure to Provide fof Direct!
Vote on Senators Worries
Democrats.

Worried over the fact that, in many
States the legislatures have taken no
steps to provide machinery for the di-
rect election of Senators, the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee is con-
sidering urging the States to enact the
sessions OF the legislatures FOR the en-
actment Of such laws are suggested.
In cases where the legislatures will
not meet before the general elections Of
1914, this seems about the only way out
of the difficulty for those States which
have Senators whose terms end MAJ ch
3, 1915. The terms OF d third OF he
Senators expire then.
The suggestion has been made that a
general Federal Law be enacted. This
is sharply objected to by Southern
Senators. who see in II trespass On
State rights.
Democratic leaders N Congress are
especially anxious about the situation,
TOR the reason that several vacancies On
the Democratic side of the Senate would
cost them control
The Maryland situation is one that is
giving special worry to the Democrats.
The governor has decided he has power
under existing laws to issue il writ of
election to fill the uneXpired term of the
late Senator Rayner. Some Of the
ablest lawyers in the Senate dispute
this. and, should a new Senator appear
from Maryland In pursuance or the gov
crnor's decision, there might ensue
series of nice legal complications.

PARCEL POST RATES
WILL Be REDUCED
Map as Means of Computing
Rates to Be Abandoned by
Department August 20.

A long step forward has been taken
by the Postoffice Department toward
the extension Of the usefulness Of the
parcel post. By order of Postmaster
General Burleson, the maximum weight
will be Increased from eleven to twenty
pounds, rates in the first and second
zones will be materially reduced. and
the parcel post map as a means of
computing rates will be abandoned. The
changes become effective August 20.
Instead of using the zone map. a rate
chart, individualized, for every postof-
flee in the country. will be employed.
The increase in the maximum number
of pounds which may be sent is regard
ed as the most important innovation.
Complaints regarding the eleven-pound
maximum were numerous when the
parcel post was instituted. January /,
last.
May Increase to 100.
Postmaster General Burleson today
declared that ultimately the maximum
will be increased to 100 pounds. and
that In time the parcel post will handle
all the small packages in the country.
Inasmuch as one-third Of all packages
now handled by the parcel post are sent
only within the first and second zones,
the rate reduction will affect a large
part Of the business. Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson-- declared the reduction
ought to apply to all distances, but that
it Is necessary for the department TO
feel its way a little in the matter of
reductions"
Official explanation and statement of
these changes in the parcel post are
as follows:
The first zone shall include the terri
tory within the local delivery of any
office, and the first zone rate of postage
will apply to all parcel post mail de-
posted at any office for local delivery,
or for delivery by city carrier. or OH
rural routes emanating from that post
ofics.
.-- Within $50 Miles.
THE second zone shall include the re-
mainder of what is now the first zone.
together with the present second ZONE,
and shall include all the units of area
located in whole, or in part, within
radius of approximately $50 miles from
any given postoftice.
THE rate of postage on parcels |
weighing in excess of four ounces in the |
proposed first zone will be reduced from
cents for the first pound and cent for
each additional pound or fraction
thereof to cents for the first pound |
and / cent for each additional two
pounds, or fraction thereof. and the rate
for the second zone will be reduced |
from 5 cents for he first pound and
cents for each additional pound, or 8
CENTS for the first pound, and cents
for each additional pound or fraction
thereof, TO cents for the first pound
and cent for each additional pound or
fraction thereof
The maximum weight of parcel post
packages will be Increased from eleven
pounds to twenty pounds the increase
Of weight 10 apply only to the first and
second zones. No change has been made
In the size or form of the package"
