SCHEME OF POORLY PAID PosINAsTRRs ID
RAISE THEIR SALARIES
Postmaster w. s. Flagg, OF Ellsworth,
Mass, has been TecommeI dsd for removal for
milling circulars at his office that should have
been mailed at Boston. Fourth class post
masters are paid SALARIES based upon tho mum
Der of stamps Cancelled at their offices. If
such postmaster, from friendship or through
corrupt means. induce business men living in
cities Of presidential grade to mail large guam
titles of matter at their Off ,es it fleets a
charge In the ptstmasters salary. This
practice is believed TO prevail to great ex-
tent in small towns surrounding
Boston and to small extent around New
York. Inspectors Investigations have re-
vealed the fact that there are persons in large
,lties who make q business Of furnishing and
addressing quantities of circulars free If cot
upon payment of one cent postage, on each
,lIcular. They take those circulars 10 a small
'illsge postoffies and stipulate with the post-
ma ter for share IN his coma ission, and this
hare. it seems, is large enough 20 make
he business lucrative. There is said
10 be statutes under which such persons can
De punished, and IL Is probable that the at
ention Of congress will bs called to the nsed
II legislation IN this particular. But the
regulations of the postofdce department au,h
