Cashing Money Orders.

Representative Moon of Tennessee
chairman Of the house committee on
post offices and post roads, has in
troduced a bill providing for amend
ments to the postal laws, which are
stated to have the approval of the
the post master general. One of
them is of special importance to the
public. 1t provides that money or
ders may be cashed at any post office
instead of a specified office, as at
present There has never been any
satisfactory explanation why this
change has not been made long ago.
Travelling men and others have fire.
quently been placed at great incon-
venience through the receipt Of a
money order in letter which had
been forwarded to a distance from
the first address. The money order
could be cashed only at the specified
office, and yet the money which it
represented had been paid over to
the government, together with the
fee for the order. The money order
ought to be good for its face at any
post office in the country. 1t would
be a great inconvenience in certain
cases, but the privilege would not be
likely to be used so extensively as to
cause any large amount Of extra work.
Business houses, doing business at
one address would, of course, con-
tinue to cash the money orders re-
ceived by them their local post office
as they do now.-Manchester Union.
