WHY STAMPS SHOULD

necessary to cover mailings from his
office.
1t makes a lot Of difference, and
the ~pOstoffice department stands
ready to lend it's moral support to
the postmaster in his efforts to induce
heavy mailers to purchase stamps as
the point of dispatch.
In fact, it is the one obstacle in
the way Of complete success Of the
present method of rating postmasters
of the first, second, and third class,
and for fixing their salaries.
The method is fixed by law and a
not be changed or modified by the de,
partment. Not only are the salaries
of postmasters determined by the
amount of revenue produced by their
offices, but the allowance for clerk
hire, as well as other expenses, Is
based upon receipts and not on the
quantity of work performed.
The system operates as a check and
balance, preventing the employment
of unnecessary help when a particular
office is on the decline and. on the
other hand, automatically disclosing
the need for additional clerks and car
riers when increased business produces
increased
This flexibility renders the SYSTEM
Of great value in preventing an excess
Of employees and in maintaining tbs
service machinery at a standard of ef-
ficiency commensurate with the re-
quirements for handling the mails. Il
is deemed far better than any previ'
Gus scheme for rating postmaster;
and fixing allowances for clerk hire
and since it's operation no plan con
sidered superior has been suggested
There are, however, a considerable
number of firms, principally large
corporations maintaining branch OF
fees in various cities, who make
practice of purchasing stamps il
large quantities at the headquarteri
office and doing them ont to ther
! local branches, on requisition.
= When a large quantity of this mai
| is dumped into the local postoffice
especially one of the smaller offices
the result is a Generalization Of great
er or less extent, depending upon tn
quantity of mail.
, 1t is i~nequitable to the postmaster
whose salary might have been increas
e ed had the stamps been purchased

clerks and other employees who mus
handle the additional mail withou

Its being credited toward increased
allowance for clerk hire.
But, above all, it is unfair to the
regular patrons of the office whose
mail, Of necessity, must be delayed by
an influx of entirely unexpected mat
ter, unless the postmaster or the
clerks, actuated by wholly human
emotions, hold up the offending
foreign mail until the other mail has
been dispatched.
Usually a firm is willing to Coop
crate rather than incur the i'll will of
postal clerks, especially when the i'm
portance of maintaining the system
OF rating postmasters and determin-
ing clerk-hire allowance is explained
to them.
Some firms, however. have been
reluctant to make the change. They
advance the argument that it is pre-
terable to purchase stamps at the
main office so that they may be per-
forated with the firms initials to
render them less marketable by dis
honest employees.
The department answers this argu.
ment by pointing out that other firms
