According to ao reputable a journal
aa the Springfield Republican, tbe re
ports of the express companies show
that the collective net profits of tbe
various concerns for tbe eight months
ending with February 1916 amounted
to the tidy sum of 16,691.000.
When one pauses to remember that
the express companies loudly pro
claimed that the adoption of tbe par
cels post practically meant their own
dissolution, it Is not a little surprising
to find them still doing business at
the old stand and cleaning up quite a
nice little sura.
For concerns that are "being driven
out of business," as they said they
were when the system was Inaugurat
ed, by "confiscatory government com
petition and regulation,” a clean profit
of nearly a million dollars a month
appears to be doing fairly well, to say
the least.
It must be admitted, however, that
the inauguration of the parcels post
bit the express concerns something of
a body blow for a year or more after
(he system was adopted in 1913.
According to the same journal above
quoted, the companies lost a total of
|69«,000 during the same period In. 1913
-14 while the collective losses for the
first year amounted to nearly double
that sum.
But, the fact remains that the com
panies have not been forced out
ef bueiness but have been earning
nearly a million dollars a month for
more. then a third of the time since
the parcels post law became operative.
When one stops to think of it, a
million dollars a month, clear
money, Is a rather nice profit and, la
the case of the express companies, re
presents a fair dividend on the amount
of money Invested.
It is quite true, of course, that the
stockholders cannot pull down a good
ulsed fortune every year as a result
of their Investment, as was previously
tbe case, but tbey are earning what
may easily* be termed a fair rats of
Interest—which, by tbe way, is all that
they ere entitled to earn.
The significant feature of the state
ment concerning the profits of the
companies Is not, however, that they
are earning a good profit but father
that they are doing right well in com
petition with the government.
They have not been "driven out of
business" any more than are tbe ship
ping concerns being driven out of
business by that equally condemned
enactment known as the seaman's act
From the hue and cry that was rals-1
ed before the passage of both the par
cels post law end the seaman's act.
one was partially led to believe that
congress was really doing a reprehen
sible thing In endorsing legislation
tending to bring the government into
active competition with private con
cerns or In Instituting measures which
placed American business firms at a
disadvantage with foreign competi
tor*. But, in so far as the express
companies and the steamship corpora
tions aiv concerned, subsequent devel
opments have shown that they are not
only able to continue business but also
continue to make a reasonable profit
on tbe money invested.
In other words it has plainly disclos
ed that they are fully able to Make all
I
p———Ifp——p———
that they are legitimately entitled to,
In spite of so called "destructive" in
hibitions or regulations or even open
government competition.

Nugget in magazine form to be pub

issue ever published In Nome.
