The postofllco committee of tho lowci
fouso of congress hns now under con
sideration tho much discussed pott
check currency bill, nnd It is to b
hoped that out of the investigation will
evolve, if not this particular bill, n
mcasttro embracing sullstnntinlly the
nmo provisions. Ilcforo a subcommit
tee; of tho above named committee
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden the other day gave nn opinion
tin Io the uccosilty nnd probablo work
ing of tho postal check system, giving
it unqualified Indorsement. He said:
Tho theory of the post check nots li
that a man fins' them on hnnd In the cur
rent money which he carries In his pocket
There will bo nothing elee In the way oJ
small bllK The money orders for amm
of lem than IS would probably bo taker,
out of the money order nystem. Each
man would have hi own mony order or.
hand If he had a one dollar bill or a two
dollar bill or n nve dollar bll which ht
might wlah to trannmlt. All tho money of
those denomination would bo In the torrr
of post check notes and would pax cur
rent an money until converted Into check
by Indorsement. When Indoraed. they ore
good only to the peraon named. These
post check notes would constantly flow In
and out of tho tatasury, and there would
be no appreciable contraction.
No ono can foresee what will arise In
actual practice, but I am unable to see
wherein the post check would not work
with entire smoothness nnd without com
Plications, -mere is nownero near at
much complication In working tho poif
check as there I-j with the present money
order .ystem. The additional work that
would be entailed upon the 'treasury de
partment Is not, to my. mind, a serious or
tenable objection.
Trom this succinct nnd comprehen
sive synopsis Uio workableness of tho
post check system seems apparent. It
is admitted on nil hands thnt the pres
ent postolllco money order system is
complicated, cumbcrsomo nnd Incon
venient for both sender nnd receiver,
while it Is undoubtedly moro expen
sive to tho government Uian tho pro
posed system would bo. One of the
heavy Items of expense of the present
plan is tho accounting in Washington,
which requires tho employment of n
large clerical force. As a matter of
fact the government loses money by
tho system, as tho fees do not nearly
pny the cost In time of postmasters
nnd clerks consumed in the issuance,
payment and final accounting of the
orders.
Tlio demand for such a convenient
nnd popular medium of currency ex
chnngc as thnt embodied In the pend
ing post check bill Is unequivocal and
Insistent, and the wonder is that so
simple a reform in our postal facilities
wns not long ago adopted.
Ills Do? Identified Ittia.
Hank clerks naturally nnd necessarily
require satisfactory Identification of
persons who ask to have checks cashed.
Tho Funic ntio is followed In tho post
olllco by clerks who cash money orders,
but what the nature of the identifica
tion shall be and by whom are matters
which, rest to some extent in the dis
cretion of the clerk. Tho Boston ncr
aid tells n story in which n dog bore
witness to his master's Identity.
A Hostou business man called at the
postal order department to get an or
der enshed, but the clerk In attendance
had ouly recently been appointed. Ho
i-ald tho caller would have to be identi
fied before payment could be made.
"Why, I hnvo had hundreds of orders
cashed here," ho replied, with n show
of impatience. "Isn't thero sotno one
hero who knows me?"
"I'm tho only ono on duty Just now.
Tho others arc out to luncheon," said
the clerk.
