PARCEL POST AGAIN.

Once again the battle of the express companies and parcel post is on. It is the latter which is. being attacked in this Instance in an endeavor to limit its scope under the claim that the ser vice is being operated at a loss and Is bound to result in a steadily in creasing deficit. Through the post office approprtation bill it Is sought to prevent any change in the exist ing parcel post rates, weights and zones without the approval of con- greSs. Instead of leaving the opera ton and extension of this service to the postoffice department it is desired by Senator Bristow to turn 1t back into congress- each time conditions call for a change It isn't to be supposed this would be attempted without op- position and Senator Lewis deClara- ton that the entire act better be re peaIed than to pass such an amend ment ought to call for a sound and sensible look into the situation.
 Even the enemies of parcel post to say nothing of it's friends should not want to seegit plunged into a hopeless tangle and made a failure On the other hand there should be no desire to handicap the service in a manner which would prevent 1t from becom- ing a success and providing in full measure that relief in the cost of send ing packages which affects the coun- try's entire population. If parcel post is running to a. deficit it should be a matter which can be proved and such proof should be forthcoming before a handicap is placed upon the depart ment from which it is liable to suffer still greater harm.
