200 volumes OF the statements are

The effect on the visiting congress
men was startling. They learned also
that the majority of orders are for
less than $3.50 each. For their issue
ird and 4th class postmasters get the
entire fee of three cents. First and
second class postmasters employ high
salaried clerks for this work, and the
cost to the service is still greater The
paying of the orders, the bookkeeping
and the transmitting of them to Wash
ington, entail heavy outlay for sal
aries, without q penny of compensat
ing revenue' SO that, In addition to
the loss of time, in gong to the post
office. applying for money orders. and
awaiting their issue. is this additional
pecrniary loss to the government.
When the tour of the office had
been ended the visitors asserted that
congress should. without delay, adopt
some plan whereby this expensive and
burdensome work could be reduced or,
at least. its enormous growth dis
couraged.
The remedy for much of this evil
lies in the adoption OF the post check
plan, as post check currency would
require no auditing. The bill embody-
ing this plan is now before the house
committee on posto6ices, A favorable
report ON it is expected at an early
day, and 1t is hoped that favorable ac.
ton by the house will not long be de
layed.
