A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Resolved, That the Federal Government should establish a Parcels Post. INTRODUCTION I. It has been claimed that A. Our postal rates on third and fourth class matter are exorbitant as compared with those in foreign countries. B. Foreign parcels post systems afford many conveniences which we do not have. II. An extension of our present parcels post system is demanded. A. Bills providing for it have been presented to Congress. B. Postmasters-G eneral Wanamaker, Meyer, and others have tried to secure it. C. It has been recommended in presidential messages, in conventions, by postal officials and by the people. III. The plan which has received most favorable attention is that of Postmaster-G eneral Meyer, providing for A. A general parcels post at the rate of I2c a pound, with a limit in weight of eleven pounds. B. A rural parcels post at the rate of 5c for the first pound, 2c for each additional pound, limit of weight eleven pounds. AFFIRMATIVE The Affirmative is in favor of the Parcels Post, for I. The United States government would benefit financially. A. The receipts from the increased volume of business would more than repay the loss from the reduction in rate.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
