/ ferred with the Postmaster General yes
/ terday. and il was decided TO call in a
/ score Of registry officials Of ripe expe-
rience and ability from various parts Of
| the country. to meet with the Postmas-
ter General next Monday
1t is understood 20 be Mr.. Hitchcock's
purpose 20 take up the registry system
first, in considering all branches Of the
postal service for reorganization. wherev-
er greater efficiency and less expenditure
may be affected 1t is thought that the
service may be placed on a more bust
nesslike basis. Department officials say
that as the American people have shown
a disposition TO pay for good service rem
dered by private enterprise. It is not be-
lieved that there viii be a disposition 10
deny n return for public service less
than its actual cost.
The delegates OF the National Asso-
citation Of First-class Postmasters conven-
don nt Toledo were almost unanimously
Of the opinion that an Increase in the
registry fee from to 10 cents would not
be opposed when It was understood that
the government was losing several mil
lion dollars through the operation Of the
registry system at the present rate. The
Postmaster General Is authorized to make
the registry fee as high as 20 cents. but
IL Is not probable that it will be in
creased TO more than 10 cents The reg
istry service is the most expensive Of
any rendered by the department, owing
to the special care and correct delivery
and absolute safety IN the transmission
Of registered articles.

Census Appointments.

from President Taft. the President in
tends to make it clear that politics will

as secretaryships or chairmanships Of
county committees, must give I'D either
their political or governmental posts
II is anticipated that the immediate ef-
feet OF this policy viii be a wholesale
