Inauguration of the parcels post
plan In the United States on Wednes
day next, January 1. 113. will mark
one of the most Important epochs in
the development of the American pos
tal service and La Grande people are
much Interested in its introduction.
The last previous step of importance
was taken when the rural free deliv
ery was put into effect 15 years ago.
The Introduction of the parcels post
system had been agitated for ten
years without material progress when
rural free delivery became a fact.
Since then the demand for the Intro
duction of a parcels poBt system In
the United States became so urgent
that congress finally, notwithstanding
the most strenuous opposilon trom
certain Interofied quarters, yielded to
the wishes of the people and enacted
a parcels post law.
The framing of the law was not an
easy matter, as the whole scheme
was In the nature of an experiment
upon a tremendous scale. It is true,
the framers of the law had for their
guidance the laws and regulations of
a number of foreign countries wker
the parcels post has been in succeas
condltlons of the postal service in the
ful operation for many years, but the
United States are so radically differ
ent from those of the postal service
In ' other countries that It was not
an easy matter to adapt their laws
to American conditions and require
ments. At last the law was drafted, sub
mitted to congress arfd passed r.nd
January 1, 1913, was fixed as the date
for Us going Into effect. The many
radical changes in the postal service
necessitated by the requirements of
the parcels post system Imposed a tre. than the corresnoi'dii.ij rates of
mendous burden of work unon the press companies, which means
postal authorities and during the last enormous saving to shippers, aside
three months several of the depart- from the greater failitles offoied tc
ments worked practically day and , them.
thousands of postoffices throughout
the country. In addition to all this
special provisions as to space, means
f handling the parcels post, etc., tad
to be made at all larger offices so as
to have everything in readiness when
the law goes into effect next Wed
nesday. Imperfections Anticipated.
The postal authorities have given
the assurance that the preparation
are now practically completed, but
they realize that owing to the, new
ness of the system and the lack of
previous experience as td Its opera
tlons it may develop at first many de
fects and shortcomings which will
hive to be gradually corrected. The
public is expected to be patient and
to give the postal department reason
able time to perfect the working of
the plan In all Its details. 1
Outreacked Express Companion
The Importance of ' the new ser
vice can scarcely be adequately etl
mated at the present time. It contem
plates the transportation and delivery
by the postal service of the United
States of parcel containing matter
of the fourth class, not exceeding 11
pounds In weight and six feet in cir
enmference from any point reached
by the present postal service to any
other point reached by that service
The parcels post service of the gov
ernment extends far beyond the. llm
lted sphere or the various express
companies, over more than one mil
lion miles of rural routes and 435,000
miles of rail, boat and Btar routes
embracing about 60,000 postoffices and
285,000 employes connected with tb
postal strvice. The rates of trans
portatlon are a great deal cheapei
ex-ar
night to complete the preparations
for the Inauguration of the new sys
tem. An entirely new series of stamps
for the exclusive use of the parcels
post service had to be designed, n
graved, printed and distributed; and
these are now In La Grande; new
scales with a capacity of 11 pounds,
to meet the requirements of the .ev
welsht limit, had to be contracted for.
