A washington dispatch says that the
Postoffice Department will urge legislation
by Congress to change and simplify the
present form of postal money orders The
proposed legislation will probably be in the
direction recently suggested by First AS
sistant Postmaster General Heath of ex-
tending and cheapening the money order
system, thereby bringing it's benefits with
in the knowledge and reach of a greater
number of persons. As now organized the
system is source of considerable profit to
the government. During the last fiscal year,
ending June 80. 1897, the total amount of
fees and miscellaneous receipts of the sys-
tenn was 81, Ass, 25S. and the total expenses
paid from proceeds s66S.O2S leaving an ex-
cess of receipts over expenses of $3.50, 290 1t
is reasonable to suppose that an extension
of the system would be followed by an
increase of the net profits. The system was
established in 1865, ana during the first year
of it's operation its receipts were $11 $50 40
of $7,04797 That was the only year in
which there has been a deficit The next
year the receipts exceeded the expenditures
by 1889. and the surplus has increased
from year to year until last year it was
as above stated. The total number of money
order offices at present is approximately
10000, about one-fourth the entire num-
Der Of postoffices. The number of domestic
money orders issued during last year was
25. 1853 ,O55. amounting to $174,4S2 676. The fig
ures show that the utility and convenience
Of the system are understood and appre-
ciated by the people. and. as it is more than
self-sustaining. it should be the policy of
the government to extend it.
