era) Hitchcock atald while In Port
land Uiai two claseea of registered
mall wore lu contemplation. One
aliould be of enpeclal value, and the
barge for handling It waa to b
twenty iciiln Iiih cml of ten. For
tMa rlasa the maximum Indemnity
which the government annum d when
taking the letter or package would be
$100. The .ccond !. of rglairy
matter would be left ai now, the reg
istry fie t?n cents and the maximum
Indemnity $10. Possibly, If It la found
that a heavy pen enlace of mall go
Into the first class an even lowir fee
can bo charged for the aecond clans.
The comml'tec of twenty registry
expert, at Washington, who dlav.
red that the registry division waa
losing money instead of being on a
aelf-RUHtalnlng busla, and made the
first recommendation of changing the
fee from eight to ten cent., 1h expect
ed to report further In respect to reg
istry conditions goon. Postuiasur
General Hitchcock seemed to favor
the plan given ahpve, although he
dre not pretend to commit the de
partment to any scheme prior to th"
advisory coininltt e's reports. If the
proposition Is lu as high favor as it
seems now, adoption of two classifi
cations for registered matter may be
the next change announced from
Washington.
Holiday trade offers the nrln'lnr!
trouble that engages official attenti ii
In registry improvements. As the hol
iday season approaches each year, th
crush of business in this division is
appalling. Study of Its details reveal
that a large percentage of registered
matter going through the malls dur
ing the holiday season has II: tie even
nominal value. An Immense number
of people have the belief that regis
try assures greater speed and accu
racy of delivery. In the first they
err, but are right on the second. Reg
istry and the routine required in
handling and delivering registered
mall, takes much more time than lu
handling ordinary mall matter. Of
course, it Is more certain of delivery,
but there are so few losses of prop
erly addressed nia:l that this element
j holH nrnetlenllv unimooriailt for
j matter having little value,
j To cure this aspect of the holiday
trade evil, the suggestion-was once
made that the department refuse to
', register any package of less than a
given yaliro. While such a restrictior
would give relief. It would not accom
modate the people as they desire. If
they want to register unimportant
matter, and are willing to ra tM
the service, it follows that the post
office department should meet the re
quirements, else private companies
profit from what the government un
dertakes to do. The better solution
Is that suggested by General Hitch
cock himself, of taking the matter of
fired and charging a better rate for
that which will stand it, and leaving
a lower rate for handling the great
Quantity of matter of nominal values
entering the mails during the holiday
season.
