Oregon is subordinate to Port

men, but Portland has had the

iParcels Post
Is Recommended
Postmaster General Hitchcock puts the
whole matter of parcels post squarely up
to congress. In his annual report he
asks congress to authorize the delivery
on rural routes of parcels weighing as
1 1 pounds, which s the international
parcels post. It is maintained that thi
form of service will not require mote
carriers, for those already employed have
the necessary eqnipment in the way ol
borses and wagons to distribute the par
cels with the ordinary mail.
Air. Hitchcock urges that, in conjunc
ti 5n with the experiment on itiral routes,
a further inquiry be authorized by con
gress so that the department may be in a
better position to dtvslop the system on
conservative lines.
Cowmentine upon the parcels post,
rhe Saiurday Evening Post says:
"Hostility of the express companies to
the parci'.Is post is so like hostility ol
porch-climber to burglar alarms that we
dont beliere it would get a hearing very
long if it ere not suppoited by the
country merchant's fear that the parcels
wilt increase the business of the mail or
Aer houses at his expense. To contrive
a parcefe post scheme which will relieve
the public from express rates tint yield
three-hundred-per cent 'melons," but
will not be available to mail order houses
in competition with country mer'chanls, is
obviously rather diflicult. An attempt in
that direction was made at the last session
of congress, and very likely the first bill
that passes will be along that line; but
probably it ought to be recognized that
the pill eels post is hound to come and,
once it is established, any restrictions that
limits its public usefulness are pretty cer
tain to be removed, It has been urged
quite plausibly, that an unrestricted par
eels post will help the country merchant
by putting him in easier touch with his
farm patrons more than it will hurt him
by bringing in mail order goods. At any
rate, to erect a barrier against the in
creased transportation facilities can hardly
be a safe and enduring shield against coin
petition. The competiton of mail order
houses must finally be met on some
ground other than maintaining high rates
lor the carriage ol parcels. We hope
country merchants will study the problem
Irom that point of view considering, foi
example, the co-operative buying of (licit
stocks,"
