The Printing of Stamps.

In accordance with the viii Of
Congress and in fulfillment of the
Presidents purpose to conduct all
the executive departments on bust
ness basis, the Postmaster General
is expected to withdraw the con-
tract for the printing of stamps
from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and award it to "a non
governmental establishment. Both
Offices have ldtely submitted pro-
posals. and that from the outsider
is the lower by about S25, 900 a year.
Particular circumstances make
this proceeding desirable. The work
of the bureau has expanded so wide
" in recent years that an amount
/ of space equal to that cleared by
I the removal OF the stamp-making
machinery must soon have been OBJ
tanned, one way or another, to meet
the demands for paper money and
other similar commodities. The 300
employees affected by the transfer
can practically all be retained. The
saving in money is large. The terms
of the new contract will be excep-
tionally advantageous to the Gov
eminent.
1t is still true, nevertheless, that
this is not the best means of obtain
ing stamps. As the postal officials
have contended for years, they
ought to be printed by the Govern
ment, under the eye of the divisions
which issue them, and with that
work be united the printing Of pos
tai cards and the making Of stamp
ed envelopes.
Today three separate establish
ments are engaged in producing
these three items of postal supplies.
Every effort is made by the depart
ment and contractors alike TO pre-
vent fraud. The firm which makes
the stamped envelopes, for example,
viii not permit its employees to use
them. no matter where purchased
or for what kind of correspondence.
The postal card contractor accounts
for every sheet of cardboard. The
Government maintains a constant
inspection over both shops. And it
is believed these precautions are eff
fectiye.
But a work which ought to be
united is distributed among three
different establishments widely sep
arated, the opportunity for loss is
unnecessarily great, and the super
vision by the department il need
lessly difficult. If the three COM
missions were to be undertaken by
one bureau under Government con
troll there is abundant reason to
believe that these obstacles could be
removed without extra cost. At any
rate, when 1t is considered that
stamps, postal cards, and stamped
envelopes are the chief sources Of
the postal revenue. it is plain that
not even a slight increase in their
cost should he allowed TO scatter
their production away from the i'm
mediate supervision of the Govern
ment

TEMPORARILY ORGANIZED.
Odd Fellows Take Preliminary Steps
for Formation of New Branch.

The second meeting of the members of
the l. o. o. F. who reside here. but retain
their membership In their home jurisdic
lions, was held Saturday evening and great
interest shown in the movement. The
evening was largely devoted to the discus
sion of the question of what shall be the
form of the proposed organization and each
member present in turn called upon
for an expression of his views on this
question by Grand Master e. W. Bradford
who presided From these expressions 1t
evident that the suggestion of Gen. NJ
A Raney OF Iowa that an organization
which will hold substantially the same
lation TO odd Fellowship that the Shrine
does to Masonry VIII be adopted including
a side degree to afford all possible social
attractions II was thought such an or
ganization started here at the capital of the
nation and including among its members
men from every state In the Union would
result in adding to Odd Fellowship fea-
ture that may grow to great strength and
influence and become of great benefit TO
the order
After full discussion of the question It
was decided TO effect d temporary organi-
cation, and the following were elected OFF,
GERS to serve until the permanent organi-
cation is completed: President, Col. Geo.
c. Ranking, past grand master of Illinois
and at present government receiver of in
solvent national banks; vice president, j.
4. Stephenson of Georgia; secretary, A. E.
Chaffee of Nebraska; treasurer. l.. j. Kohl
mer of Massachusetts. A committee was
then appointed TO formulate plan of
ganization to be submitted to the next
meeting The temporary officers were
made members of the committee and the
president was directed to appoint four other
members from the floor, which he did as
follows: Gen. NJ A. Raney of Iowa. Charles
p. Sample of Indiana, Edward Kohler of
Pennsylvania. and, notwithst anding Grand
Master Bradfords protest that District men
should be left out, the president included
him as a member of the committee
