Wsshington. April 11 With every
prospect ef long and spirited debate
the house has begun cooaideratioe o'
tne posefllce appropriation bill carry
ing $269,827,749, provisions for a rura1
parcels post, steel mail care after 1917,
and eight hew day for clerks and car
riere in first and second class offices.
Increases in pay for rural carriers and
otherhard fought .reforms. Interest
centered on the rural parcels post pro
Vision sad chairman Moon fieely ad
mitted it was the opening wet'ge and
an experiment Representative Mur
dock, of Kansas, to tbe amazement of
his colleegnea pointed ott that the bill
did not repeal the present rate of 12
enta a pound on packages. "Under
this, ' said he, "a man who goes to the
poetoffice with a 1 ounce package with
13 cents postage will be told that the
package needa 14 cents. He can add 2
ounces to the package and making it
weigh a pound and send it for 12 cents.
This bill so specifies and you can't get
around it"
Io a single day the Taf t re-nomina
tion campaign has crumbled to pieces
like the proverbial house of cards. Mr.
Taf t will not oe the Republican nomi
nee to succeed himself. Tnat is the
verdict of all observers. Illii iia and
New York have settled tbe question.
New York, always a doubtful state,
by refusing to instruct its delegation
for! Taf t; Illinois, by giving .in over
whelming declaration for Roosevelt.
For a month the managers of the "rear
ular" Republican forces have ben (riv
ing about as much attention to the
question ot finding a new candidate
with a chance to be elected, as to th
effort to get support for Mr. Taft. I
has been with them a problem of beat
ing Roosevelt first; after that of finding
some new mtn with s vote getting
strength that would justify entrusting
the lesdersbip to him.
President Tsft has by executive order
modified the So-called gang rule upon
civil service employes which practically
forbade them to petition Congress ex'
cent under certain restricted condi
tions:. A new order issued, superseding
two on the same subject by former
Peskiest Roosevelt and one by Presi
dent Taft, parmlta civil service employ
es to forward -petltiooa to Congress or
guy of Its., committees through the hads
of their department. Heretofore they
could only petition by authority of the
department heads, department heads
hereafter will be obliged to forward
petition with any comment they think
proper.
