Best Answer

The post office became under the federal government in the Civil service reform act in 1910 under Taft. Postmasters were added to the classified service. In 1912 the parcel post system was set up and in the first year 700,000,000 parcels flooded through post offices in 1913. You can thank Taft, as well, for the 16th amendment and the IRS.
