it was not the result of wise refOrmatOry
legislation, but bears upon its face the
expression of retaliation by those who
were called upon to repeal the franking
privilege.
That it is not q retrenchment of I'M
necessary or appreciable expense of
government, as it cannot be claimed
that the free transmission of papers
in the counties and parishes where they
are located adds an unnecessary ex
pense to the pOst-Ofice department,
neither is it apparent that the
ch-rge on such papers will materially
increase the receipts of the post-office
revenues.
That the free transmission of papers
through the mails is a provision of law
that has never been complained of, but
is universally approved by the people.
Whilst as editors and publishers we
are willing to bear our full and just
proportion of all public burdens, we
cannot regard it just nor consistent
with the interests of the people that
the same price should be charged for
the distribution of papers, at the coun-
ty pOst-ofice where the paperis printed,
that is exacted for it's transportation
thousands of miles.
We, therefore, as editors and publish
ers, in convention assembled, declare it
to be our honest cOnviCtiOn,that the free
transmission of papers through the
mails is demanded by the desires of the
people, and promotive of their inter
ests.
Resolved
That the members of Congress from
this State be and are hereby requested
to use their utmost efforts to have this
law repealed or so amended, as to
allow all exchanges to lgo through the
mails to all sections of the country free
of charge.
That copies of these resolutions be
forwarded to them by the Secretary and
countersigned by the President OF this
convention.
On motion the report of the commit
tee was received.
The convention then took areCess I'M
til six o'clock p. On.
The convention again assembled mr.
suant to adjournment all of the mem
bers being present except the Secretary.
On motion Mr.. John E. Breaux was
requested to act as secretary pro. tenn.
The President stated that the ON
mittee on business had reported before
the recess and on motion their report
bad been received, and asked what fur
Their action the convention proposed to
take on the subject.
A motion was then made and carried
to read and adopt the report seriatum.
The report was read and adopted in
accordance with the above motion af-
ter which, on motion it was adopted as
a whole, unanimously.
The resolution of Mr.. E. L. Weber to
organize a Press Association, to be com
posed of the members of the press of
Louisiana, was amended by Mr.. J.. H.
Burch to read as follows:
Resolved, That Immediately after
the adjournment of this convention. we
proceed to effect a permanent Organiza-
ton to be known as the Press Associa-
ton of the State of Louisiana.
This resolution was adopted unani-
mOusly.
The members of the press throughout
the State,' were then, on motion, invited
to corporate with us in this move and
requested to publish the proceedings of
the convention.
There being no further business the
convention adjourned sine die.
