TOO GOCH> A THING TO L\ST Apparently thp Innumerable com plaints against express" companies which hav0 heretofore found expres sion in parcels-post sentiment have now come to a more immediate head. " ' . 1 For fear of mail-order competition a majority of the country's retail merchants do not favor the parcels post, but In seeking to remedy their present grievances they Join with the I purcelspost advocates readily euough I As a result, 124 chambers of com | merce. hoards of trade, merchants' I associations representing all sections,1 , hive appealed to the Interstate Com-! I more* Commission for relief The| oomplalnants cite the long-notorious j fact that American express iompan iles are not upon a legitimate- basis a* I public servlee corporations. To 111 | ustiatc this point the case of the Grefft Northern Express Company is [b^p^ght forward. j The Great Northern, organized In J892 with a capital of $100,000, ownW1 property as late as June 30. 1309. Ncverthelesa during the past ten years it ha? paid S3.200.000 In divi dends, Its latest dividend nelng $500, 000. I In addition it has accumulated a surplus of $1,688,881. \ Of express company capital and earning* this case is alleged to be fairly typical. Moreover the com plainants. say the express com panies pay the railroad*, for trans portation approximately 50 per cont of their gross receipts, resulting In excessive overpayment to the rail roads for the public service rendered. And the?c practices on the part of | the express cornr-nles. so the oom plalnants declare, have done them great Injury. They have suffered for many years, and now suffer, from un just charges Classifications and rules. On all accounts, therefore they iask the Interstate Commission to In- i stltute an Investigation and abate tho ovilB which have grown up in these public-service corporntlons. be- ] cause public regulation hag been ab sent. *'* * In th?* long list of complainants. I North Carolina is represented by the j chamber of commerce and the mer- I chants' asoaciation of KUzabetti City. As every one known. America^ cx-l press companies have been so much melon for railroftd Insiders, with po litical Insiders as copartners occa sionally. Aside from their enormously exces sive earnings, the service rendered by them has been i>y no meant* sat isfactory. f The contract of this service with that which European countries en Joy under the parcels-post system is too much, especially since by In ternational agreement Americans havo become able to send parcel* to Australia or Hong Kong for less than they can send them a h home within a hundred miles. It is hard ly possible that a national parcels post rorvlce. In some fonp, can be delayed very much longer. So perhaps the express companies do wall to make hay. without heeding public complaints, while they can. We would much rather wish them or any on* else long lift, but we are bound to recognize that their case *??' present is fatally weak.?Charlotte Observer.
