PARCEL POST
70 Lower Rates and Increase
Size OF Packages.
TO BEGIN AUGUST !5

Postmaster General 8urIeson Will Put
New Rules Into Effect Despite Sena-
toriai Criticism.
Washington, July 26.-Despite sena-
torla criticism Of the proposed reduc-
ton in parcel post rates and the In
crease in the size OF packages to twen-
ty pounds, Postmaster General Burle-
son announced he would issue the
final orders at once, putting the pro-
posed changes in effect Aug. Is.
The announc ement came after the
wisdom of making the changes had
been subjected to a searching review
before the senate postof1ce commit
tee.
Edgar e. Clark, chairman of the in
terstate commerce commission, ex-
planning why the commission had
sanctioned the proposed changes, said
he believed the postmaster general
had ample power under the law to
make the changes.
Il am convinced that the postofflce
department ought to. can and will ex.
tend the parcel post until it will carry
all packages up to 100 pounds" he
added
In answer to criticism Of his pro-
posed changes the postmaster general
appeared before the senate postoff1cs
committee with Mr. Clark
The postmaster general read let
ter from the commission stating that
1t was satisfied conditions were such
as to prevent the shipment by the
parce! post of many articles, and that
the proposed changes were I'm order
20 promote the service to the public"
Senator Bristow said he believed the
postmaster general had authority to
change the rates and zones If the inter
state commerce commission approved.
Other senators agreed. but questioned
his authority to abandon the distinc-
tive stamp
We are going to make money on
this new business" said Burleson,
"and we will be able to make further
reductions in rates" Since the intro
duction of the parcel post Mr.. Burle
son said the revenue of the Chicago
postoffice had increased 21.63 per cent.
He believed that due to the parcel
post
He produced figures to show that
on, twenty-pound packages the govern
ment would make profit of 10 cents
Senator Bryan declared there would
be loss of eight. cents.
Public hearings will not be- hefd by
the interstate commerce commission
upon the expediency of the changes
proposed by the postoflce department
in the rate and zones and weights in
the parcel post service.
The commission issued statement
in which it said:
"The commission does not consider
that the provisions of the parcel post
act, to the effect that certain changes
may be made by the postmaster gen.
eral with the consent of the commits
sion, contemplates that the commits
sion shall necessarily hold hearings on
such proposals.
"The question of compensation to
the carriers for hauling the mails Is q
matter of contract between them and
the postofice department, in connec-
ton with which this commission has
no jurisdiction"

HONOR the DEAD WITHOUT
WR0M6lN6 the LIVING

The impulse to honor the dead is
universal
when a member of our household
or our group passes out of this life
forever. the impulse is strong upon us
to do something extraordinary To ex-
press our love and our grief. We feel
like pouring all our earthly wealth
into the grave
But this natural impulse needs to
be restrained and balanced by the
thought Of other dear ones who are
with US still The dear departed can
not be benefited by a costly hearse,
an expensive coffin, a long procession
Of carriages. or any lavish outlay for
funeral or monument
As sensible people we should make
up our minds long before any death
occurs to those dear 90 US that we
will not engage in foolish and use
less extravaganza when the sad day
Of a funeral shall come
Let US honor the dead in our hearts.
Let some man Of God bring US com
fort out Of Gods word. Let US strew
the grave with flowers from the home
garden. and let Us love and cherish
the children and surviving friends,
whom the dead one loved and cherish
I'd. Il is not only sensible, it is
duty to restrain the craze for ex-
travagant outlays in funerals and
cemetery monuments. Let US honor
the dead without wronging the living.
