PUT UPON THE PEOPLE
Producer and Consumer Kept
Wide Apart For the Benefit
of Combinations of
Middlemen.
By JOHN BRI8BEN WALKER.
While the German postal service Is
carrying package* for one-third of a
cent a pound— transporting them. If
necessary, from one end of Germany to
the furthermost town In Austria-Hun
gary—carrying nil sort* of pa reals up
to a 100-pound trunk, the president of
the United States In Ills message to
congress and the postmaster general
In 111* annual report are arousing the
attention of the country to a loss of
$8,000,000 per annum incurred In trans
porting periodicals at one cent a pound.
Instead of the butter and cheese pro
ducer being able to ship directly to the
user, as In Germany. In refusing a par
cels post wo have put the whole army
of American consumers Into the power
of all sorts of combinations, who pay
the lowest price to the producer and
seem to be able to charge any pum to
those compelled to buy.
More than twelve years ago I called
upon Mr. Wanamaker, the then post
master general. In Washington, regard
ing a postal parrels system.
Express Company Monopoly. .
There are four insuperable obsta
clss,” ho said when asked why ws could
not hive what England and Germany
had. “The first is the Adame Express
Company, the second is the American
Express Company, the third is the
Welle-Fargo Express Comoany and the
fourth is tho United States Express
Company/*
That was a recognition of condition*
which every citizen must make If he
studies the fact*. Mr. Platt sat for
year* in the United States senate as
senator from New York and bead of
the United Stntes Express Company.
Mr. Depew and many other railway
senators have stood guard over the
postoffice department. Few postmas
ters general have ever been appointed
Ithout reference to these Interests.
The Welle-Fargo Express Company
recently declared a 300 per cent divi
dend. But its stock and that of all the
express companies is e small drop in
tho bucket compared with the losses to
the American people thru a cumbrous
and untcientifio system of parcels de
livery.
My own impression is that three hun
dred millions would not covor tho direct
loss, while the evils arising from the
system can not bo measured.
We know that more than $32,009,000
is being expected tide year to provide
for country deliveries. Tho postmas
ter general says their wagons now
carry an average of but 25 pounds.
Each of these could handle Boo pounds,
and, with a second horse, at 50 cents
day, 1,200 pounds.
If a parcel rate of a cent a pound
were established these country delivery
wagons would be loaded to the limit.
Immediately, instead of twenty-five
pounds delivered, there would be 525
pounds carried each way, which would
mean $10 a day additional profit on
each for the government.
The only condition comparable to
the absurdity of the government op
erating n $32,000,000 country delivery
service and then making a prohibitory
•ont rate for parcels, so that the
wagons should travel empty, would lie
for Mr. John Wanamaker to operate a
hundred wagons In New York solely
for tho purpose of delivering kid gloves,
whether there are any sales of kid
gloves or not, while Ills deliveries of
other merchandise w ere being held back
to hIs odn loss and the public dls-
•omfort.
Short Haul of Parcels.
What fa the average haul of an ex
press parcel today? Four years ago It
was thirty-eight miles. It Is probably
the same today.
Uut If the government offered a serv
ice at a cent a pound for parcels up to
200 pounds, It would almost undoubted
ly take over the hundreds of million* of
parcels sent out by the great dry goods
stores, and as the average haul for
these 1s leas than five mile*, it seems
not Improbable that the average haul
for the United tftnte* would from this
nuKfl be reduced to fifteen or twenty
tulle*.
What would bo the cost of delivering
parcels with an average haul of but
twenty miles? If one hud the contrac*
at half a cent a pound, starting with
tlie use of government office* and trill -
ials, lie could quickly pi!© up a fortune
that would make Harritnan’s look
small.
With all the facts and figures before
him, any able business man who could
be put In possession of the vast ma
chinery of the postoffice, with only Its
present deficiency of S 18.000.000 to
make up. would know how to fix a
figure well within a cent a pound at
which he would feel certain of profit
ably handling the average pared.
A Business Offer.
In a recent communication to The
New York Evening Post. Mr. Don Setlz,
the experienced manager of The New
York World, said;
••If congress will repeal its act of
monopoly under which the postoffica
exercises the right to tax aa it pleases,
I will engage within thirty days to es
tablish a delivery service for mail
matter that would put tha government
out of business by its celerity and
economy.**
But by fat* the most costly part of all
thts betrayal of the people's Interest Is
not the dividends of the express com
panies, but In the combinations In re
straint of trade made possible by the
lack of means for connecting the con
sumer directly with the producer and
the vast toss to commerce by the costl*
i cumbrous channel* Into which It Is
forced.
Why Articles Cost More.
he only cheap transportation today
is in bulk. Tills puts It out of tho pow
er of the consumer to secure hi* food
supplies In any way except thru com
binations formed for the purpose of
squeezing the last cent from those com
pel led t« buy.

Effort to Oust Him as Presi
dent of Princeton Because
of Withdrawal of
• . Proctor Gift.
Princeton, N. J., Feb. 8.—A bitter
fight to nurt Woodrow Wtlaon. presi
dent of Princeton unlverstt}', will come
to a head at the meeting of the trus
tees on Thursday, according to state
ments today by those tn close touch
with the contest that has arisen over
the withdrawal by Wiliam Cooper
Proctor, of Cincinnati, of his offered
1500.000 gift.
The breach between President Wilson
and Moses Taylor Pyne. chairman of
the graduate school committee of the
board of trustees. Is wide. The state
ment given out by Mr. Pyne, In which
he said that Mr. Proctor was compelled
to withdraw Ills ofTer by reasons of
self-respect, today attracted much at
tention and served to mark the line be
tween the opposing factions In a clean-
cut manner.
The statement does not mention Dr.
Wilson by name, but asserts that the
Proetor offer was given "an extraordi
nary i-eceptlon. and that the donor’s
motives were mlrronstrued."
Meanwhile, there Is a handful of
prominent educators who am striving
to smooth out the differences of opin
ion over Princeton's policy In the grad
uate school matter. Thoy ore lighting
not only for peace, but 81,000,000 for
the Institution’s assets.
The 8500,000 to be raised by sub
scription demanded for the university
by Mr. Proctor as a proviso to his do
nation's going thru, has nearly all been
promised. Thn absolute loss of the
Proetor gift will mean the loss of the
additional 8500,000 as well.

this business
What business man would claim
that with such a handicap any private
enterprise could deliver parcels in com
pel ft Ion with the government—unless
the hand* of the government are
-halned by legislation passed with the
Hrect purpose of preventing efficiency
und throwing the business to private
companies?
For every hour the business remains
in the hands of the express companies
the people are paying for a double
equipment, as well as contributing such
dividends as the 300 per cent of the
Wells-Fargo declared last year.
Bear in mind that the average haul
fixes the price; that all statistics show
the average haul to be far less than
500 miles, and keep in mind also that
the express companies In their rate of
one-half cent per pound to the metro
politan dallies for 590-mile delivery’
have demonstrated to the government
that one-half cent is a price upon
which enormous dividends may be de-
lared.

Special Message Recom
mends That Employees
Hurt in Canal Work
Be Compensated.
Washington, Feb. 8.—President Tuft
today sent to congress a special mes
sage, together- with documents, con
cerning the cases of Alexander Combs,
Pedro Sanchex, John H. Cole and Os
car F. Lackey, who were employed on
the Isthmus of Panama by the gov
ernment. and whose Injuries have dls-
quallfled them for work.
The president directs attention to the
fact that In case of Injury to canal
employees, received before August 1.
1908, there is no legal authority for
giving them financial relief.
The message continues In part:
"It needs no argument to establish
the obligation which the government of
the United States Is under to provldo
relief for Its employees who are per
manently dlsubled or maimed, and for
the families of those who are thus in
jured or killed, thru no fault of their
own, while employed on work of such
hazardous character as that connected
with the construction of the Isthmian
canal. This obligation Is recognised
by the act of May 30, 1908. and by sec
tion 8 of the Panama canal bill, now
pending before the congress. There
are a number of bills pending before
the congress for the relief of certain
employees who were Injured prior to
August 1, 1908, and among them a bill
for «he relief of Lackey. It seems right
that some general law should be en
acted which will enable a reasonable
allowance to be made to employees who
were permanently disabled or maimed
and to the families of those who were
killed In accidents occurring prior to
that date thru no fault of their own.
Recommends Legislation.
I therefore recommend that suit
able legislation be enacted authorising
the secretary of commerce and labor
to act on any claims for compensation
on account of death, which have here
tofore been filed under the art approved
May SO, 1908, and that authority -be
given the president, under such restric
tions an the congress may deem advis
able. to sett s all claims on account of
the death or permanent disability or
maiming of employees of ths Isthmian
canal commlslson caused by accidents
on the Isthmus of Panama prior to Au
gust 1. 1908, for which such employees
wer# not responsible.
"A draft of a bill, substantially fol
lowing the Panama canal bill now
pending, which, I believe, will meet
the requirements of the situation, has
been prepared by the secretary of war
and Is Rt the disposition of congress.”
The supporters of the employers’ lia
bility bill, now before congress, regard
this message of the president as being
In line with the policy advocated In
the bill and believe that the president's
recommendations will do much toward
bringing about ths passage of their own
measure.

It’s as good as a rainy day for laying
plans, but, like all rainy days, it ends and
—ye gods be praised!—the sun shines
again; and it is the WOODWARD way to
make HOUSES while the “sun shines.”
February plans and orders mean
