A Needed Money Order Reform.
Postmaster General Burleson has
established an enviable record in the
inauguration of reforms in the post
al service, all ct them designed to
facilitate business and do away -with
some of the old obselete methods
that have contributed much to the
customary deficit in the department.
General Burleson's latest recommen
dation calls for a change in the mou
ey order system by which a money
order, once bought, may be cashed
in any mouev older office in the
country.
The recommendation will appeal
to common sense. There is no bet
ter reason why :■ Tacoma national
bank note can be used in New York
without question than there is why
a money order 'ssued in Tacoma
on Chicago should not be prompt
ly cashed in St. Paul, St. Louis or
New Orleans. The express compan
ies issue money orders which can be
cashed at poin.s all over the world. |
I'nder the present system, a money
order can be cashed only at the
office on which it is drawn. For ex
ample, if a raonty order is sent from
Tacoma to St. Louis and the party
to whom it is raade payable removes
to N" -v York ^e'ore the receipt of it,
the order cannot be cashed in New
York without rUe use of a lot of red
tape and annoying delay.
It is the business of the govern
raent expeditiously to issue money
orders that are ftiUy protected, and
it must soon bo the business of the
government to see that these are
good .for their face until it shall fi
nally redeem tiicm. Temporarily, at
least, money orders should be a part
of the nation's currency. All paper
money, strictly speaking, is of the
money order character. It is an ev
idence of credit only, and as such
money order has a right to hold its

head as high as the silver or gold
certificate.
General Burleson's recommenda
tion should be approved without de
lay.—Tacoma Tribune.
ITS (iOSl'EL TRl'TH.
All kinds of property rise and fall
together with the advance or reces
sion of the business of the place
where they aro located. If a new
habit of spending money at home
could come about, it would increase
the business of the retail stones,
more clerks would be employed, and
the proprietors and their employees
would keep an increased amount of
money in circulation.
The practical result would be that
every one who owns any property
here would sooner or later get the
benefit. I
The real estate owner would find
newcomers bidding for his property.
The retail storo would see its sales
and profits grow larger. The pro
fessional man would have a larger
constituency.
To every property owner, then, ev
ery purchase made at home briugs
some secondary return. Some of the
money, he spent comes round to him
again.
I^ -practice when a property-owner
buys elsewhere he throws away a re
bate check that is his when he buys
at home.—Ex. I
