In the opening of bis statement
Mr. Burleson replied to the criticism '
of hie abolishing the distinctive par- <
eel post stamp: He asserted that I
widespread complaint arose* against j
!the stamp and that the stamp prevented
the shipment cf many artides..

"Don't you. think th6se who draft 1
ed the law were bettor able to interpret
It than departmental officials?"
asked Senator Hrhrtow.
f "No air," responded Mr. Burleson.
Senator' Hoke Smith asked If the
'solicitor of thfe department had given
an opinion on the matter.
"Ho air.** said Mr. Burleson. "It
seemed bo clear to me. being a corn
fed lawyer myself, that I changed It
without an dplnion."
Mr. Burleson contended nothing
had been lo^tby the abolishing of the
Stamp because" be had been able to
[approximate recipts of the parcol
ftost by hajlflg accounts kept at fifty
large postofflces where 50 per cent,
of the mail business was done.
Since the introduction ofthe parcel
post. Mr. Burleson said, the revenue
of the Chicajgo postoffiee had increas- .
ed 21.63 peitc&it. He believed that
due to the parcel post .and added
that was the greatest increase In tlie
history of the1 Chicago office.
"That's because the big mail or.
der houses are located there," inter- *1
ruptcfi Senator Brlstow.
! "Yos, and they were honhstty in

said Mr. Burteson. .
