NM traf1icking the country over in
Wv stolen postage stamps, aggre-
gatiug several millions Of dol
lars annually, has been disclosed by
postoftice inspectors whose invest;ga-
tions were reported today TO Postmaster
General Hitchcock. They involved So
called stamp brokers and confidential
employees Of large business concerns
throughout The United States.
Through confessions secured by the
inspectors from some OF the brokers
whose operations were investigated it
was learned that stamps OF all classes
and denominations stolen by burglars
from postofices and embezzled by en-
ployees from great business houses and
manufacturing establishments were pur-
chased and resold by the brokers at
prices far below their face value.
The postal laws make it crime,
punishable by imprisonment. to sell any
stamp issued by the government for less
than its face value Investigations dis
closed the fact that in addition TO sell
Jug the stamps for less than the price
for which they could have been pur-
chased from the government, the
brokers knew that the stamps were
stolen when they purchased them.

POSTOFF|CE GETTING.
INTO S500,000 CLASS
Goal Will Be Reached in Salt
Lake in Year, if Not
Before.

II the local postofhce business con
tinues to increase during the next three
| months as it has in recent months it
! will very probably be rated as a ''$500,-
900 Office which would mean an In
crease in salaries Of officials, including
raise OF the postmaster g salary from
$4,000 To $4,000. The postofficos Of tho
country arc rated annually upon the
business done in the year ending March
81. If the local office has done $500.000
worth of business In tho year ending
March 81, 1913, it will receive the
higher rating, and the postmaster s
salary will be increased. And there is
every indication that tho office will at
least become a 100000 Office in another
year, il it docs not this year,
The figures for December, 1919, show
an increase of postal receipts hore of
SS,505.S6, or 1916 per cent. This is an
unusually largo increase. December WAS
ono OF the biggest months In the history
of tho office. The receipts in the various
departments were as follows: Stamps,
$43 1878 an increase Of S6654,74 over
December. 1911; postal cards. 1870, au
increase OF $490 over December, 1911:
stamped envelopes, Ss23l.25, an increase
OF Sl36i.i2 over December, 1911, The
average daily sales of the Office for the
month totalled $20022e.
1t is expected that the steady increase
OF business in the new parcel post de-
partment viii largely increase the
revenues of the stamp department.
Many firms are sending nll their small
packages OUT through the parcel post
now where they formerly used express.
The sales Of stamps TO cover the de-
livery of these parcels will be added to
the receipts Of the office, and will ma
terialIy aid in boosting il to the $780,

IMPORTANT changes in the election
laws of Utah arc proposed in "A
4 bill introduced yesterday by Sen
ator D. Q. Rldeout of Salt Lake.
The bill abolishes voting by party dcsig-
nation, groups the candidates in
alphabetical order by Offices instead
of by parties. aud requires the voter to
vote for each candidate separately
While voting machines may still be
used under this form OF ballot, their
use would be inconvenient, and the
passage of this measure wonld probably
result in abollsbing them,
The bill was prepared by Samuel
Russell, Salt Lake attorney, who used
the Massachusetts ballot as basis.
The ballot in Massachusetts is much
shorter than tho one in Utah, for TIE
reason that Massachusetts, has de-
creased the number Of elective Offices.
