The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1905-12-06


The posta. authorities of The Neither
lands are inaugurating an innovation
that It IS not unlikely win be adopted
by other countries In The postal union
to-wit: carrying a stock OF the stamps
of other countries 10 the value Of s
cents, the denomination OF the stamp re-
quired TO frank letters from ono coun-
try to another. There is great need Of
a universal postage stamp OF the value
Of cenis. At present citizen OF the
United States can not write to a person
IN England and enclose reply postage.
because the 8 cent United States stamp
would not be available for postage IN
England. Thus far II has been impossl-
bic TO arrange for this universal stamp
because OF the slight difference In mon-
etary standards OF the various countries.
This may be worked out later, but tie
Dutch authorities are going long way
toward solving the problem by carrying
In stock the cent stamps OF the United
states. the 21s penny stamps OF Great
Britain, the 20 pfennlng stamps Of Ger
many. the 25 centimes stamps OF France.
otc. Thus q person in Netherlands writ
ing to one in this country will be able
20 enclose a cent stamp TO frank the
reply desired. Following this plan the
United States would carry on sale at
It's leading Offices the stamps Of Eng
land, Germany. France, Netherlands
eto., Of the value corresponding to our
. cent stamp. II IS probable the mat
ter win be brought to the attention OF
the United States postal authorities and
small appropriation may be set aside
for the purchase Of stamps for this pur-
pose. once made the appropriation
would never have TO be renewed as the
revenue from THE sale OF these stamps
would always buy additional supplies.

There appears to be considerable dis
cussion over the question Of change Of
color of the current 10 cent stamp. Il
having been contended on the one hand
that noticeable change has been
nmde and on the other hand that the
change referred TO applies to the cent
stamp rather than TO the 10 cent one.

II is also stated that the brown OF the
