Tho nmcndineiil wan offered first in "committee of the
whole" n device to prevent record votes, hut Meyer Lou
don,. the Jone socialist, demanded a division. La'tei Con
gressman David 'l. Lewis, who shares with Senator
Hourne the honor of creating the parcel jwt, attempted
to defeat the ohuoxious measure, and in the final vote the
reactionaries won ))y 17!) to V.V.), with three voting "pres
ent " and 1 1!5 not voting. Among those who voted to ham
string the parcel post law were Congressmen llawley and
M cArthur of Oregon.
Only after a long and hitter fight was the parcel post
adopted. For many years the express companies kept a!
paid looby at the capital working against any real relic!
for tin people from its exactions. They gave' the kind of
service they pleased and charged all the traffic would
hear. The present effort is reallv to limit the plastic power
of the service to meet changing conditions and hence crip
ple its usefulness.
I he parcel post is reallv the people's express. It alone
reaches the farm and remote hamlet. To fix an'arhitrary
statutory weight limit is to tell the people that they can
not have such a parcel post as foreign nations enjoy. The
weight limit in foreign countries, where there are effec
tive parcel post systems, is as follews: (lermany, .Switzer
land, Rumania, huxomhurg, Sweden and Norway, 110
pounds; Helgium, V.V2 pounds; Russia, 1 liO pounds'; Aus
tria, no weight limit.
The interstate commerce commission is hetter equip
ped to fix the weight limit than congress, and its regula
tion should he left to it, as at present for it has the right
to reform classifications, weight limits, rates, zones and
conditions of mailahilitv.

MONEY TiIiNING
T1IKRK is every JvdTcat ion of an extensive mining re
'i'tll ill KnitYlUtl'll frurnil Alm-n i(fniitinii iu Imitwr
paid to iniiiiK ffiid more mining men are looking for invest
ment than in many years.
- 'IVnigh price of copper and other metals has trreatlv
stimulated the demand and the vast neglected mineral re
sources of this section are likely to receive the attention
they merit. This is the largest' undeveloped copper bolt
in the world, and its development means abiding prosper
ity to the community.
According to figures issued by the government, rc
ently compiled by Chester I. Lawrence, a Koston I'in
iinuier, mining pays better than any other business. .Min
imr profits lead all others, nnd ilicnuiioi' nm-fino rr,) nor
cent) of railroad earnings come from hauling ore, prod
ucts and commodities of mines.
The National Hanker in a recent issue slates that the
combined dividends paid by the gold and silver companies
of the Tinted States are greater than the combined divi
dends paid by all the banking institutions in tho Cnited
Stales. The combined dividends of the copper companies
are greater than the combined dividends paid by all the
railroads of the Tinted States. Seventy-six mines of the
Tinted States paid dividends iu 11)11 of over $7."i,00(),0(K).
Nor is there as much hazard iu mining as commonly
mipposcd. Commercial agencies state that but .'1(5 per cent
of all legitimate mining investments fail, as against ol per
cent in general commercial lines. .More money has been
lost through banks iu the last five years than was lost in
mining iu the past fifteen ycai. ' ,
Figures are given showing the following a vera ire re
turns on invested capital: Railroad, 'A per cent: national
banks, (i1 ( percent: insurance, II percent; lumbering, II
percent; mining, ISli ner cent.
Moreover, mining is a clean, legitimate businostf. The
hidden wealth of nature is taken from the earth for useful
purposes.
