which rural free delivery was ob

WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN.
Thomson, Ga., June 17, 1907.
Mr. J. S. Bradbury, McCauley, Tex.
My Dear Sir: Your favor re
ceived. Hon. Eugene F. Loud, of
California, had nothing whatever to
do with originating rural free deliv
ery to people who live outside of
towns, cities and villages. I remem
ber very distinctly that Mr. Loud
threw cold water on my proposition
when 1 tried to pass the resolution
which is the foundation of the pres
ent rural free delivery system. He
said to me, “Why, that scheme of
yours would cost the government,
yearly sixty millions of dollars.”
My reply to him was, “Well even if
it does, the people pay the money,
an<l the people ought to get the ben
efit.” If the editor to whom you
. refer will turn to the Congressional
Record for February 17, 1893, he
will get the facts, and will not have
to depend upon my word, or the word
of any one else. He will find from
the official record of Congress that
on February 17, 1893, Congress
adopted, as an ame’dm'nt to the
postoffice appropriation bill, a resolu
tion of mine appropriating ten thou
sand dollars for experimental free
delivery of mails to- people living
outside of towns, cities and villages
Previous to this time there had been
what was called the “Rural Free
Delivery System,” instituted by Hon.
John Wanamaker, Postmaster-Gen
eral, but this system was confined to
incorporated towns and villages. The
country people, proper, got no ben
efit from it whatever.
Yours verv trulv,
THOS. E. WATSON.

Dear Sir: Please find enclosed
one dollar, for which send me The
Weekly Jeffersonian one year. I
get magazine regularly, and
would have been glad, indeed, to have
taken The Weekly Jeffersonian from
the first issue, but am hard pressed.
When my furnishing merchant sold
my few bales of cotton last winter,
he settled my account and sent to
my Tom Watson mail-box my last
year’s mortgage and thirtee ndollars
and seventy-two cents. While this
is distressingly poor luck, it’s better
than thousands of toilers had, or will
have, until they come together and
vote right.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY MAN

ment to bring foreigners to our sun
ny Southland, and, particularly,
Georgia.
Second,-That a copy of these res
olutions be furnished our newly
elected governor, Hon. Hoke Smith,
also, that all papers friendly to the
cause, be requested to copy same.

WE NEED THE PARCEL POST.
Mr. Editor:
I am a song book publisher. I
have been following this business
for years, and if any poor mortal
has suffered at the hands of the ex
press corporation I am the one. Let
me tell you what happened recently:
I sent a small pack of books, eight
pounds, to a friend in Arkansas. The
postage was so high I decided to
send by express. The agent decided
that 45 cents would cover charges,
so off it went; in a few days, the
agent received notice that a defi
ciency of 95 cents stood against
him; that the rate was $1.40 on 8
pounds for that distance, so I had
nothing else to do but to “rack up”
and pay the 95 cents. In this case
it would have been well for me to
have given the books to my friend,
not prepaid; in other words, the, ex
press company reached fosth its
greedy hand and took from me all
that was left to me. And so it goes
from dav to day. Is there no re
lief for one like me? To use the
mail for such matter means to cut
profits to almost nothing. The book
maker is in the same hole with the
farm r; he can make his crop (books)
but he cannot market them with a
profit. Think of this great legalized
corporation wrenching from an in
dustry the amount of five and one
half cents a copy on a small song
book, moving it fro m Georgia to
Arkansas I
We need the parcel post, and we
will have it just as soon as the
masses understand the situation. It
is said that freight rates are unrea
sonable, but when one runs against
the monster he feels that he has been
specially favored to get out at all.
We must have relief from this trust.
Give us the parcel post, and govern
ment ownership of the express traffic.
J. L. MOORE.
