The postonico tlepnrhnentis about to en­ ter into a new Contract for the print­ ing of stamps and ■ the advisability of instituting this change is being carefully considered. The postmas­ ter general is strongly inclined to fa­ vor it. . • ■ j The plan, it putrmto effect, will ; include the 24 largest cities in the ’ country. They receive about 40per cent of all the stamps issued. Tim salaries of thq postmasters of the first, second and third classes, ex­ cept in a few of the largest cities, are readjusted annually on the ba­ sis of the total receipts of their offi­ ces. .Therefore, the more stamps sold, the higher the salary. For a long time it has been known that some of the postmasters have been swelling their receipts by work­ ing up a "trade** in stamps, postal cards and stamped envelopes out­ side of their cities. Through friend* ship and Influence they induce big commercial and industrial concerns in adjoining towns to bay 'stamps and cards front them. By diligence and the cultivation of popularity they are often able to increase their receipts and salaries considerably more than (he amount of moil they handle calls for. And not only the ,postmaster is ganged by the receipts Ibufc the allowance for clerk hire, l rent, light and fuel also, r Tile use of the new stamps would iAppeal to the local pride of the busi­ ness men and tend to cheek their ir­ regularity in that way* Besides, any large amount of mail the stamps o i which bore the name of a city othertlian that in winch It was de­ posited would quickly come to the ■notice of the postoffice inspectors. It is believed that the saving to the •government would far exceed the |extra cost entailed. The suggestion , laeven made that distinctive stamps he made for the six largest postoffi- cos and ntoinpn bearing the names of the cities he fanned for alt the other jiresidoJitkil jmstoffices.

Bust* Cities Not Adapted to Operate nett Enterprises—Loss of' Capital Through New Developments—The Dangera Real Ope. It Hi IxfComing » » «nd Wore gen­ erally miogttfaetl that Undertakings founded on the great puhlfa needs, of tlie highly organised sotjleij (if modern tiroes1,should be controlled by soeleiy. Whether, haViiig the power, If Is ad* visable. that roimiclpalhfos should ac­ tually engage in such undertakings or whether they should merely maintain their control,'Us It has been aptly put, through their powers as a landlord, is r mutter which will be determined by the municipalities from political, social and economic M well Us engineering considerations. Considering the question from Its en­ gineering side alone, fa Is found tlmt from the very essential nature of the matter only a certain class of engineer­ ing undertakings can be etllcleutly mid properly operated by states or munici­ palities. It is very Important that this limitation should, be recognized, fm where the limitation has been over­ stepped It has resulted In heavy finan­ cial losses to the governing bodies Im­ mediately .concerned, it has seriously checked development In engineering lines, and tliC3e results have In conse­ quence afforded a strong argument to those opposed to municipal operation of public utilities. It is true that under state or munici­ pal operation some minor and sporadic developments may be expected* but nothing of a general or important char­ acter. Important developments .gen­ erally come only from the hands of In­ dividuals or bodies responsible only to themselves and provided with the in­ centive of a large profit. The elimina­ tion of self responsibility and incentive would Inevitably produce a condition iff industrial and scientific develop­ ment analogous to the dark ages. It is to be noted that this conclusion Is derived from engineering considera­ tions alone nud does not Include any consideration from the political, social or economic side. There may, it is conceivable, be political, social and economic considerations which tend to affect this limitation. Considered, how­ ever, from the engineering standpoint alone there can be no question but that the field of state and municipal operation should bo limited to under­ takings inwhich there Is no Immediate ■prospect of or need for improved method. A danger which is always associat­ ed with the ownership of industrial undertakings Is that the capital invest­ ed may he lost' through the develop­ ment of new and cheaper methods and processes. The extent to Which indus­ trial machinery of certain typos is ren­ dered obsolete*Iiy new improvements is not always realized. The Writer Is personally acquainted with one street jar railroad plant in which the entire electrical equipment of the power house was thrown, out and replaced with Improved machinery four jtirnca within u period of tenyears, The Car­ negie company is reported, correctly* It is believed,' to have scrapped on one occasion wore than $l,o00,t>00 Worth of new machinery which had never been used. This has already become a serious matter for many immlcipahtlcs which have engaged in undertakings lying outside of the engineering limits de­ fined abtotv Many of themmunicipal­ ities installed .plants for the prodae- tlon of i-lot trie light at a time prior to the hdttttf of Important improvement# (n gfruttidiutji and disMbmtart electric. i • ■' . . ■ ity, and as thesejiumjclpalities in com­ mon with most municipalities made no proper allowance for depreciation, the capital invested has been practically i losf, and In addition the .cost-df elec­ tric* light to the,consumer Is much higher than It Is in other places equip­ ped with later and Wore economical types of machinery. In addition, heavy and expensive repairs have been neces­ sary and the taxes correspondingly in­ creased, This has reacted upon the municipalities, since the heavy rotes have caused manufacturers to move away to other towns, and this again .lias gtlli further Increased the burden upon those remaining. There are al­ ready Indications that a considerable number of these municipalities which have engaged In Improper undertakings are entering upon a period of financial difficulty,—K. A. Fessenden,. ' . As a Socialist Ssss It. Every recognized authority on So­ cialist economics, fromAlarX to FerrJ, has been aid IS an avowed economic evolutionist They all without "excep­ tion recognize that public ownership under capitalism must come before the full Socialistprogramme canmeetwith realization. • When,the Socialist party .shall suc­ ceed to power inmunicipality, state Of nation it will fail heir to the holdings of its capitalist predecessors. Every .dollar’s Worth of property that we can wrest from private capitalism through public ownership will fall Into the hands of the Socialist party without a struggle upon its succession to power.— International Socialist Review. What Government ft For. It is the appropriate^function of the government to safeguard the individ­ ual and to see that the game of busl- hess is fairly played, that the cards are held Above the table and that ev­ erybody is given a square deal. It is not the appropriate function of the government to sit In the game.—Hon. Leslie M,. Shaw* g o n e o u t o f b u s i n e s s * Millions Sunk Ih Unsuccsssful Munici­ pal Lighting Plant#. • . During the past few years at least sixty cities and towns in the United States have sold* leased or abandoned their lighting plants. In a few cases they still retain their distributing sys­ tem, buying the curreut from some company, but In most instances they have gone out of. the business entirely, A number of other places have made unsuccessful efforts to dispose of their plants. As with few exceptions municipal lighting plants have been in operation hut a short time, this is a remarkable showing of failure and one. it need hardly be said, that Is sedulouslyavoid­ ed by those who tor euds of their own are urging other cities to make similar experiments, As 'it usually takes some years for a city to realize how great a burden it is carrying in Its lighting plant, it is probable that the number of admit­ ted /allures will increase rapidly from now on, for, Us an eminent electrical engineer recently said, "There’ aro al­ ready Indications that a considerable number of these municipalities Which have engaged in Improper undertak­ ings are entering upon a period of financial difficulty," Faults Enough as It ft. The political machine that dominates New Vork city is strong because large powers arc delegated to it, and the ex­ penditure of $100,000,000 is given ab­ solutely Into its keeping. We have faults enough without municipal own- ersldfl In most of the <itics g £ this, country, and the ordinary business toan falls to see the wisdom of making the situation mows complex and dubi­ ous than it h; by adding the problem of municipal owtatship with aUthat it Impllea.-Binghamtofi H*r*kl, Exceptional Values for Thanksgiving Week.
