For Readjustment of the Salaries of the
Fourth Class Postmasters.
By SENATOR GEORGE H. MOSES, of New Hampshire.
The present plan of compensating postmasters of
the fourth class, adopted in 1882, is by a system of
percentage of the value of stamps cancelled on out
going mail by those postmasters. The incoming and
outgoing mail in those days were very nearly e'jual.
lint the introduction of the parrel post increased the
volume of the incoming mail without compensation.
A conservative estimate would place the incoming mail
at six times the number of piecss outgoing.
The plan which I propose for compensating this
class of postmasters is based on percentages of receipts.
It follows I he same plan used in determining salaries of postmasters of the
Hirst, second and third classes. It secures the same results as a salary
i plan while avoiding its discrepancies. It assures accuracy, reduces to the
minimum (he possibility of mistakes and assures their detection and cor
: rcction should any occur. It requires no extra blank forms, books or rec
ords, and. reduces to the minimum extra work for both the Postoffiee de
jpnrtment and the postmasters. It removes entirely the possibility of dis
1 honesty, as receipts are recorded and checked quarterly by the auditor
for the T'ostoflice department. It is equally fair to all offices of this
class large and small regardless of the amount of receipts. It obviates
1 the necessity of cancellation records, reducing the work of the postmaster
and simplifying the accounting in the auditor's office.
It recognizes the fundamental principle upon which the fourtn clas?
office is established, namely, that fourth class postmasters must depenc
upon their business for a part of their livelihood until their offices attain
the status of third class. The provision for an allowance of twenty p:;r
centum of the compensation for rent, fuel and light is very conservative.
The provision that gives to the fourth clas; postmiustcr, who must furnish
the equipment, the whole of the box rents collected is based on fairness.
This bill affects -11,(11)1) fourth class postmasters, of whom 15.000 are
in n class having from $100 to $:i()0 of annual receipts; 5,(100 having $350
to $101) annual receipts, ami '.'0,K00 with receipts ranging from $150 to
St .I'll) Their (oiiiiiciimiI ions in all these three irrounimrs will r&IVS from
a minimum of $p.'5 to $!l!!t, thus bringing their salaries within the classi
fication necessary for promotion to third class postotlices.

BECAUSE we put tlie utmost quality into this,
one brand. Camels are as good as it's pos
sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of
fine tobaccos to make a cigarette.
Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this
in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the
best cigarette it's possible to buy. Nothing is done
simply for show.
Take the Camel package for instance. It's the
most perfect packing science can devise to pro
tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper
secure foil wrapping revenue stamp to seal
the fold and make the package air-tight. But
there's nothing flashy about it. You'll find no
e tra wrappers. No frills or furbelows.
Such things do not improve the smoke any more
than premiums or -coupons. And remember you
must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality.
If you want the smoothest, ntUc-vet, mildest
cigarette you can imagine ani ona entirely free
from cigaretty aftertaste,
It's Camels for you.
