amendments. Calendar.
The Secretary reports that Che pen,
sion bill, which passed the House, for
soldiers ind sisiicEs of 1912 will require
q about $3.50, 900 per amman.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
resumed and West, who had charge of
the bill, explained the amendments
proposed by the Senate.
During the discussion Sherman
said: The Senator from Maine (Ham-
linton) some time ago, ins..an fable
| speech, showed there was deficiency
from carrying the newspapers of the
| country amounting to Sc, 900, 900. The
whole amount paid by the newspapers
| towards carrying their mail was
| 81 600, 900. Had lot the Senate cour-
| age to deal with this matter ? Had
the newspapers such power over
| Senators ? Was there such terror of
! them that the Senate could not do
what was right? He acknowledged the
| power of the newspapers was great in
| the dissemination OF intelligence. Auy
respectable newspaper publisher
| would consider himself ihsulted if he
was told he was beneficiary of the
government in this respect. The
Senate should have courage to raise
postage on newspapers, even if every
newspaper in the land cried out against
it. He had cOnversed with many
newspaper publishers about this sub
ject and they all said Congress had
fixed the rate too low. He was in ia
VOr of increasing the rate to 4, 5 or
even 6 cents pound to have a solu-
ton of this trouble.
