PARCEL POST.
Plans for Extension, I'm
pIovement and Reduction.
Postmaster General BuTIeson's
Orders BecomeE Effective, IS.
Expects In is or 20 Years All Small
Package Business Will Be Handled.

Washington, July 19.-Pians, for the
extension. improvement and reduction
in rates of the Parcel Post were an
nounced, today. by Postmaster General
Burleson. The changes. which are to
become effective on August Is, in
clude an increase from IL pounds TO
20 pounds in the maximum weight of
parcels; material reduction in the
postage rates in the first and second
zones, and the abandonment of the
parcel post map as means of corr
putting rates and the substitution for
it of rate chart individualized to
every postoffice in the United States.
The plans contemplate the purchase
of a large number of automobiles to
be used exclusively for the delivery oe
parcel post matter.
While for the present, the maxi
mum weight limit of 20 pounds and
the reduction in rates will apply only
to the first and second zones, from
any given postoffce-t1 distance of
about $50 miles-the changes directed
today constitute the first long step
towards a universal extension of the
system and a general reduction in the
rates of postage on parcel matter.
1T is my expectation and belief"
said Postmaster General Burleson.
that eventually-and it may be fiji
teen or twenty years-the Postal
Service will handle practically all of
the small package transportation
business in the United States. The
maximum weight limit. extended now
from II to 90 pounds. / expect to see
ft,,,r .ri-
ence may demonstrate the practical
bility of handling the parcel business
at even lower rates than we now pro-
pose.
In the making of extensions and
| reductions of rates it is necessary for
US to proceed with caution, so as To
| afford ample opportunity to prepare
| for the increased business. For that
reason we have made the changes
proposed apply only to the first and
| second zones. | appreciate fully the
sentiment for an increase in the
| weight limit and a reduction in rates
| to all zones, but it is necessary for
us. in a sense to feel our way"
Mr.. Burleson announced the chang
es as follows:
The first zone shall include the
/ territory within the local delivery of
any office and the first zone rate oil
| postage will apply to all parcel post
mail deposited at any office for local
| delivery or for delivery by city car
| rier or on rural routes emanating
| from that post office.
THE second zone shall include the
remainder 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 post office.

weighing in excess of four ounces in
the proposed first zone Will he re-
duced from five cents for the first
pound and one cent for each addition

Matters That Have
Been Referred,

Governor Haines has stated that at

natures on the petitions for a referen

Public Utilities and define its powers

not he will call a special election. If
he finds that the requisite number of

matter may go over until the ext

several petitions for a referendum on
the public utilities measure contained
300 names, 1900 more than was Le-
cessary.
The amendment to the Constitution
of Maine providing for the referendum

ers. These acts were passed by the Leg
isiature of 1909.
The three per cent. beer bill'' WAS
Introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Mill
liken of Aroostook and it provided that
alcoholic liquors which may not be
sold except by the payment of a rev
enue tax to the United States govern
ment are declared to be intoxicating
within the meaning of the statutes of
this State. Had this measure been en-
acted into law, the sale of So-called
"Uno" beer, or beer containing less
than 3 per cent. of alcohol could not
be sold without prosecution in the same
manner as if the genuine lager beer
was sold. The voters, 40, 475 to 81 ,475.
rejected the bill
One of the bitterest fights of the Leg
islature of 1909 WAS on the bill to di-
vide the town of York, the oldest town
in the State, and incorporate the town
OF Gorges. A powerful lobby was at
work on both sides OF the controversy
but The bill was finally passed. The
voters, 3i.T22 to 1852. refused to ac-
eept the, Jaw and the town was not di-
yided.
The third question voted on at the
regular September election in 1910 was
the act providing fer the RECONSTRUCT
ton If Portland bridge. This act was
also rejected by the voters, c9,S51 TO
21.251.
The people at the regular election in
September, 1912. adopted the act pass
ed at the special session in 1911, pro-
Niding that regulation ballot boxes, to
be furnished by the State, shall be
used at all elections and providing
that the ballot boxes be sealed and
forwarded to the secretary of State.
The outcome of the bill to provide
for a Board Of Public Utilities is d
question. but it is not believed that a
big vote will be polled at the special
election.

Debate on Tariff
Begins in Earnest.

Washington. July 20.-Debate on the
tariff in the Senate began in earnest Sat
urday. with Chairman Simmons of the
finance committee proclaiming the new
bill a satisfactory answer to the demand
for downward revision, and Senator Cum
minis. speaking from Progressive Re
publican standpoint. predicting that it
would carry the Democratic party to de-
feat.
Senator Simmons replied to contentious
that the bill Disseminated against the
farmer He declared that the free list
under the present Payne Aldrich law
was in the interest of the protected man
ufacturers.
1.-The free list in this bill is a free list
in the interest of the consumer well
as the manufacturers, said he. Under
the Payne-Aldrich law, more than half
of all importations to this country are
on the free list. More than so per cent.
of these free imports are the raw mate
rails or semi-raw materials of the man
ufacturer.
"Undoubtedly there will be increased
importations under this bin. Senator
Simmons declared. THAT was intended
and provided for in the reduction in
rates it makes. You cannot revise the
tariff so as to give relief from present
tariff burdens except by enlargng oppor-
tunities for importations, Undoubtedly.
ON the other hand, there will be increased
expectations under this bill. That was
also intended by its trainers, and is pro-
vided for in such ways as was found
possible and practicable.
ITO this end it INTAKES the things the
farmer employs in making the products
he sells abroad. 1t INTAKES the raw ma
terials of the manufacturer. 1t largely
INTAKES the material used in the con
struction of his plant and the machinery
needed for its equipment to enable them
to meet their foreign competition on
more advantageous terms, not only at
home, but abroad.
"In short, it seeks in such ways as are
open to establish upon a broader basis
that spirit of comfy on which interna
tiona good will rests to remove ham
pering restrictions, to broaden the basis
of International trade, and enable the
American producer to take advantage. In
greater measure than has been possible
under existing tariff conditions, of our
great national opportunity in the mar
ket places of the world"
