POSTAL PLUMS
MOST SOUGHT
AF TER

Many fat plums in the shape Of
postmaSterships await the advent
Of the Roosevelt administration on
March 4 next.
According to calculations made
by the Post Office Department
there are approximately 48,159
poStmaSterShips in the 48 States
and various territorial and insu-
lar possessions, divided as fol
lows: First class, 1922; second
class, 3,425; third class, 10,485,
or a total of 1902 in the presi-
Dental class. In addition there
are 1912 in the fourth class.
PostmaSterS in the first three
classes are appointed for terms
Of four years and usually are per
mitted to complete their terms.
designations with incoming ad-
miniStrationS are not ordinarily
asked. The ability to obtain this
patronage, therefore, probably will
be spread over a four-year period.
Three for Each Job
The 15,03c positions in the pres
idential class are generally sup
posed to be under the Civil Ser
vice, but those who take the ex-
aminations are largely rated upon
experience and fitness as well as
qualification for the office.
The Civil Service Commission
must certify three eligibles for
each position. Aspiring Demo
Gratis are likely to get one Of the
! three top places on the list and
one of them will be named. World
War veterans have five-point
advantage over other candidates.
The fourth class poStmaSterS
are under the classified Civil
Service except those where sal
aries are $500 a yea or less. In
the latter case they are appointed
by the Postmaster General on
the recommendation Of postal in
Spectors as to fitness. AS a rule
they are generally county store
!. keepers.
Best Pay $4,000
The two choicest plumS are
the postmasterships of New York
and Chicago, which each pay
$4,000 annually.
AS Democratic politicians gen
orally believe that James A. Far
ley, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, will be the
next Postmaster General, he will
command the largest single block
If patronage throughout the ma
. ton.
