This newspaper article draws a correlation between the Thirty Years’ War in Europe that brought freedom to the people of the German empire and the end of the thirty-year-old custom of calculating postal weights in a way that benefitted railroads and no one else. The author believes getting rid of this custom will bring greater and fairer benefits to both railroads and the public.
