Il am satisned In OllsoN GARDINER
my own mind that the extension Of
the weight limit ct which parcel
may be sent through the mails would
mean the death Of rural free delivery.
Heavier parcels now are transmitted
through the mail In the United States
than n permitted under the laws OF
England, Germany or any foreign
country having q parcel post system.
In England, for instance. the weight
limit Is IL pounds, which was the
limit originally fixed by congresD."
. Here are some OF the untruths IN
this statement. First. until the parcel
post was established there was o.
ways . deficit In our postal service,
and particularly In the rural delivery
service, due to the fact that the rural
equipment could not be used to- tn
full capacity. Since the parcel post
came. the wagons on the rural routes
have been better filled 1t no additional
cost for equipment. and the books
show q profit to the postal service.
Second. contrary to Senator Bank
heads assertion. heavier parcels are
carried In the parcel post Of many
foreign countries than are carried
now In the United States. In England.
italy and Holland the limit II IL
pounds. but In Germany the weight
limit b 40 pounds. In Austria Il n
likewise 10 pounds. In Belgium Il II
131 pounds. and In France Il r "a
pounds. The weight limit IN the
United States for the first two zones
II now 80 pounds and for the remain
ing sonoo 30 pounds.
The coterie OF senators who are ap-
parently trying TO save the express
companies at frst raised the cry Of. .
threateued deficit. Next they said the
government ought 70 wait and study
the question by means Of q connie
sion" before changing any more rates.
Now the Alabama gentleman has
thought of the excuse that the poor
farmer n 70 lose hls rural free deliv-
