$1,000 to $1,000 which the government
now pays them direct, and the con
tractor would get rich IN the work
Of the carriers. The contractor
would come to own the horses, wagons
or automobiles and the carrier would
become a mere driver.
Postmaster General Burleson is also
doing his best to transfer the parcel
post into a freight post. Mail-order
houses under such a rule would soon
be delivering a bundle of singles by
mail. The weight of the parcel has
already bee raised to 80 pounds for
certain zones, and Mr.. Burleson now
wants to raise the limit to 100 pounds.

would no doubt be allowed to take
as many contracts as he could handle
and every rural carrier would become
the employee Of the contractor. instead
