of Warren G.. Harding and Calvin
Coolidge into the So and IS denomi-
nations, necessitating an expenditure
of 81 by Republicans, who, otherwise,
would have paid only so cents for the
former and 81 for the latter, or $3.50
for the two. The Postmaster General
is accused of playing trick" on the
collecting public His friends argue
in his behalf that he has been con-
siderate of the philatelic fraternity
on other occasions and that nobody
is forced to buy" the higher priced
stamps Of the forthcoming series.
Certain changes may be made in
the denominations of the "presi-
Dental" series. It has been proposed
that the 35c and 40c values be drop
ped and that 2lc and 24c stamps be
added. The list. then, would read:
2lc, Cleveland; 24c, Benjamin Harri-
son; Csc. Mckinley; soc, Theodore
Roosevelt A difference of 30 cents
in the total price of the set would
follow-$ll.67, iDstead of $ll.97.
No announcement has been author
lied with respect to distribution ar
rangements, but 1t is understood that,
with the exception of the half-cent,
Benjamin Franklin, all of the set will
be released in Washington. Such
decision probably would be conducive
to efficiency in servicing and should
be welcomed by the philatelic fra
ternity at large.
