REFUSED USE OF THE MAILS.
A Postoa.ce Decision Against Bond
investment Scheme.

Harrison j. Barrett, the Assistant At
torney for the Postoffice Department, has
rendered decision which has been ap-
proved by the Assistant Attorney General
for the Postoflice Department, concerning
the use of the nails in the promotion OF
certain so-called bond investment schemes.
The opinion holds that while the basic
principles upon which these b2nd invest
ment schemes are founded are not unlaw-
full. yet the schemes as at present operated
are inimical to the postal laws Inc gem
cral style of the bend investment con-
tracts provides that upon the payment Oh
monthly dues for a certain period, GER
tain cmount will be paid at maturity. A
portion G the income is placed IN re-
demptlon fund and the balance in the re-
serve and expense funds. The redemption
fund is used for the payment OF bonds
nricr to maturity in q certain order set
out in the contract and the amount re-
...---' the redemption OF such bonds
Is the amount paid thereon and certain
profit
These profits are generally unedua, at
different periods of redemption. and are.
therefore, considered as prizes. The award
Of such prizes being dependent upon
chance ii is held that the schemes are in
the nature of lotteries. Most of the prom
ises made in these contracts being impos-
sible Of fulfllment under the known and
recognized rules of investment. unless
many .apses occur. and unexpected win
L ugs accrue. it is further held that mas
much us some OF the contract holders will
C c On their Investments the schemes are
fraudulent under the provisions of the
statutes which forbid the use of the mails
in the promotion Of such enterprises.
The PostOffice Department will notify
all companies operating schemes of this
charac er. and require them to make such
notifications in their plans as will elimi-
nate the features which give unequal ad
vantages to persons similarly situated, and
to make their promises SO that the last
man will be provided for without depend
ing upon contingencies before any further
