So far as stamp collectors are concerned
they will welcome new issue of stamps with
open arms or albums. This is true not only
because it will ada variety, but chiefly because
it will mean an end I'VE hope) to the deluge
of minor varieties that has come out of the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving in the last
fourteen years.
To the layman two-cent stamp is a two-cent
stamp and nothing more. Not so to the col
lector. With considerable care and much
strained eyesght he has distinguished at
least two score of varieties in the two-cent
stamps put out from Washington in recent
years. There are differences first in the kind
of paper on which they are printed, some of it
watermarked and some not. There are differ
ences in the perforations--the number of
notches to the inch. There are differences in
color-a whole flock of them, some caused by
difficulties in getting proper inks during the
war. There are differences in tie plates from
(which the stamps have been printed
sght modification made some tiny line added
here and there, And finally there are differ
ences resulting from the utilization of several
processes of engraving and printing
These distinctions apply more or less to all
tHS CONGRATULATIONS OF Ine present issue OF
stamps. Is it any wonder the collector will
welcome a change that he can envisage without
a microscope?
Another phase of the effect of the new issue
on collectors is in the amount of money they
will spend to buy sets of the stamps unused.
This is clear velvet" for the government, be-
cause the collector preserves them and doesn't
use them on his mail. There are 100000 phi
latelists in the United States At least half
that number will buy part or all of the new
issue of stamps unused--one cent to SIS values.
The total cost of a set from one cent to ST
lonlitting the So and SIS stamps that will not
be bought by many) amounts to little more
than 49, If 100000 stamp collectors buy the
set up to the 81 value, Uncle Sam will pocket
sT50,000 without doing a nickel's worth of
work in return. 1t is safe to assume that for
eign collectors will purchase $250,000 worth
of the new stamps, giving the American gov
eminent s1,000,000. At that rate it should
be profitable to put out a new series of stamps
every once in a while. Some foreign coun-
tries, particularly the freak states that have
arisen since the war, have tried flooding the
stamp market and have nearly ruined the dis
positions Of a lot of philatelists.
Speaking of new issues from Washington re-
calls the fact that the present special-deIivery
stamp has been replaced. The boy on a BIZ

1SHE decision of the United States Post
Office Department to change entirely
IL the designs and colors of our postage
stamps marks a modification of the
nolicy that thas been in force for ID years.
Prior to 1908 the stamps of this country bore
many different portraits chosen arbitrarily
for their more or less historic value. In the
Administration of President Roosevelt, George
Won L. Meyer, Postmaster General, decided that
in the interests of simplicity and economy the
department would only use two portraits on
subsequent issues George Washington and
BENJAMIN Franklin-and would rely on differ
ences in color to make each denomination dis
tinctive. And for the last fourteen years,
through Republican and Democratic admins
trations alike, that policy has been adhered to.
At first, Franklin, founder of the United
State postal system, appeared only on the one
cent stamps, and Washington on the rest.
Later Washingtons portrait was put on de-
nominations of from one cent to seven cents
and Franklin's on all higher values.
The reasons given by the department for
the proposed change are much the same as have
been offered for years by persons opposing
uniform design. These that the present
lack OF distinctiveness among the different val
ues costs the government thousands Of dollars
in mistakes on the part of postoffice employees
who cannot distinguish quickly between fully
paid and partly paid mail matter, and that
when cancellation marks oblterate the numer-
ais on the stamps it is difficult to tell them
apart.
The policy of uniform design on postage
stamps has been adopted by most of the prn-
cipal countries of the world. The stamps of
Great Britain almost without exception have
borne the likeness of the reigning monarch.
The same is true of practically all the British
colonies France and Italy have uniform de-
signs Chile by law uses only the head of
Columbus.
A lot of American historical figures have
been honored on our stamps in the past, bat
Washington and Franklin stand out among
them all. A compilation of the number of
times the pictures of famous Americans APP
peared On United States postage stamps be-
tween 1847 and 1904 (prior to the uniform
policy adopted in 1904) is given by "Scott's
Monthly Journal" This shows that twenty
four different persons were depicted on 1874
different stamps. These were distributed
