WILSON TO TAKE LOTS OF

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-Presidenl
Wilson outlined the status of num-
ber of the problems before him. He
announced that he probably would
utilize the full sixty day period allot-
ted by law before making final selec-
tions of the federal reserve board and
would proceed carefully. He made q
clear that he regards the task as one
equally as important as constituting a
whole supreme court of the United
States.
The president will not insist that
antitrust legislation be given prece-
dence in congress over rural credits
or vice versa, but is disposed to leave
them to parliamentary procedure
hoping that both would be accom-
plished at the present session. While
he also hopes that the presidential

Policy Not Quite Honest.

The post Office department calculates
that 6O0,000,ooO packages will be car
ried in the parcel post the coming ifs
cal year and that it will gain $60,00O,.
600 of revenue therefrom. But, as
President Ralph Peters Of the Long
Island railroad points out, congress in
its post Office appropriation bill has
made no provision to compensate the
railroads for this great addition to
the weight and cost of their mail trans
portation.
This may pass with some congress.
men as clever business. for the gov.
ernment or the post Office. But any
private business which undertook to
increase its profits by evading its just
expenses would speedily find itself
closed up. and its managers on their
way to Jail.
In plain words, this is not "busi-
ness" but stealing. 1t is an attempt
to aggrandize the postal revenues by
confiscating the costs of postal trans
portation. 1t amounts not to an effort
to bring the express companies into a
fair competition for the better service
Of the public, but to crush them with a
government monopoly, created out of a
glaring restraint upon the commones,
rights Of private property.
Is this the best that can be done for
the postal service in proving its bust
ness competency and efficiency?
