W ashington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Ccngress,nan-at-LarGc
From Colorado.

The express monopoly will not
be permitted to secretely ham,
string the parcel post. Hereaf-
ter, according to Postmaster
General Burleson, the struggle
must be carried on in the open,
where the people of the nation
may see and note every move.
In a previous letter l told how
the postoffice appropriation bill
was butchered during the closing
hours Of the 63rd Congress and
WIZ. The bill contained a pro-
Vision compelling the railroads to
carry parcel post packages for
tncle Sam for approximately the
same rate they charge the ex-
p,ess companies for similar SER
vice.
That would have enabled this
administration to give the coun-
try parcel post system aud would
have driven the express monopo-
ly out Of business.
The express companies cannot
compete with the parcel post uu-
less they are given the advantage
OF lower railroad rates. With an
cven break" Uncle Sam has de.
moustrateG his ability to handle
more business. handle it more
eNpcditiously and handle it for
less money than the monopoly.
That is something Of an
achievement and it has proven Il
tremendous boost for public own
er~i,ip. # Uncle Sam can run
til, cypress business so efficiently
AZ" economically, why not place
ht:n IN charg: of the telegraph

these are disconcerting ques-
n$-for the mOnopolies affect

t!GHTlNG UNDER COVER
or course. they do not dare to
Lumc out in the open and frankly
,Nnw their purpose. The people
would never stand for t!lat. The
i'arcel post must be knitted in the
dark and that is what the ex-
press monopoly and its allies, the
railroads, have been doing for
two years. Up to date the score
Is in favor Of the conspirators.
They have pigeonholed in he
Senate every lit Of remedial leg
;Slation and as a final evidence of
their power they have defeated
the postrNice appropriation bill.
But. as usual, they have over
played their hand.' Now the
National administration is arou-
Sed and Postmaster Genera! Bur
seson backed by the President
has publicly declared war on the
enemies of the parcel post.
In statement issued on March
%, General Burleson boldly de
clares:
THE bitter opposition to the
railway ma pay amendment was
the sole cause Of the defeat of

A SAMPLE CANARD.
He points .out that the press
agents Of the railroads and the
express monopoly have spread
the story that the postoffice de-
partment was not paying the
railroads anything extra for car
rying the parcel post, when, as a
matter Of fact, the roads nave al
ready received special allow
ance Of So, 422, 554 for their ser
vice and the defeated appropria-
tion bill authorized the depart
ment to pay them the additional
million dollars.
1T is scarcely possible to over
state the Importance of this mat
ter. says General Burleson.
"Although the railroads con-
tend that they are underpaid for
carrying the mails, the facts are
they are overpaid, and that they
are receiving from the govern
ment amounts which, for hauls
Of any considerable length, ex-
ceed by about two to one the
amounts they receive from the
express companies for like and
similar service.
Upon the two principal mail
routes, from New York to Chic
ago, over which is carried the
largest daily weight of mail trans
ported anywhere in the world by
rail, aggregating about 3l9 tons
daily, railway mail pay amounts
to So So per 100 pounds, which
the railroads proportion of the
first class express rate between
those cities is Approximately 81. 20
per 100 pounds.
From New York to Los An
geles the railroads receive from
the express companies 81 IS per
100 pounds and from the govern
ment SO 06 per 100 pounds.
These are not isolated cases.
They are typical. "
EFFECT ON PARCEL POST.
1t is because Of these inequal-
tiles in transportation costs that
the parcel post rates for longer
distances and the higher weights
exceed he rates of the express
companies. For instance. between
New Yook and Chicago, the par
Gel post rates is 81. 90 for twenty
pounds and the express rate is
sixty four cents.
Under existing conditions. the
parcel post can compete with the
express companies on short hauls
say up to 1875 miles. Outside
of that radius its activities must
be confined to small packages.
Despite these restrictions, the
growth of parcel post has been
truly remarkable. II has been
in operation a little over two
years and it is now Carrying
about 800, ,O00.O 600 packages per
anuum. The government is doing
this business for very mrch less
than the express companies
charges before the parcel post
was organized and in addition is
giving express facilities to III

towns which were Ignored by

abnormal conditions caused by

doctor thinks that recovery may even
yet be doubtful.

MARSHALL COUNTY MAY Be
DRAWN INTO LITIGATION
OVER BRIDGE BUILDING.
ALLEGED THAT TEACHER
PATENT BEEN INFRlNGED
Owner Of Patent Wants Settlement
For Alleged infringement in Two
Bridges Near Rhodes That Were
Built Last Year-county Standing
Pat and Depending on Commission.

Marshall county may be drawn into
the litigation over bridge patents.
Owners Of the Thacher patents have
notified the county by letter that un-
less settlement is made for alleged In
Engagements the owner of the patent
will seek to make the county pay.
The county, which has the backing OF
the Iowa state highway commission, is
not going to pay unless compelled to.
The communication has been re-
ferred to the state highway commits
sion. Should the county be sued 1T
would be attorneys of the commission
that would defend the county Both
the engineer of the commission and
County Engineer w. w. Moorhouse
say that the Thacher patents were not
infringed in the type of construction
used in the bridges in which it Is al
legged the infringement resulted.
Are Bridges Near Rhodes.
The owner of the patent complains
that in two bridges built by the Thor
Construction Company, Of Cedar Fails,
last year near Rhodes, that the pat
ented method of using reinforcing
steel bars was infringed. The bridges
are a forty-foot deck girder bridge and
one of two thirty-foot spans.
This threatened litigation, together
with great deal more like it in Iowa,
will probably be Influenced greatly by
the outcome of litigation brought by
the Luten company against POLK
county for alleged Infringement. The
theory of law involved in all of the
cases and threatened cases is similar.
Should the Luten company win against
Polk county it is probable that great
many counties and contractors in Iowa
would be sued by the Luten company
and for infringements Of the Thacher
patent.
