CHICAGO PAPERS TWO CENTS
White Paper and War News Drives
Them to 1t

Chicago, July 29.--All the morning papers
of this city print an announcement that
on and after August l. the price will be
two cents copy. The increased cost of
white paper and the enhanced general ex-
penses due TO the war are the reasons
advanced. With the exception of the
Chronicle all print explanatory editoriays.
Inc Chronicle makes the simple announce
ment
The Tribune says: THE morning papers
Of Chicago have given the one-cent retail
price a faithful trial for two and a half
yCars and some of them for longer
time. Never during that period has the
rate been profitable. After deducting the
allowance in city to the news agents. car
rers and news boys, there is left to the
Chicago publishers only half cent per
copy. That is scarcely enough to pay for
the white paper. The papAr has swelled
the pay roll, and the telegraph bills have
added Immediately and largely to the cost
of white paper. The war may be over in
Il short time, but the results of the war
will remain. But, leaving the present war
out of consideration, the outlay attend
ant on the collection of the news of the
world, which is being covered with a net
work of telegraph lines, is increasing in
an accelerating rats
The Record says: 1.-The paper is worth
two cents. It cannot be continued to be
produced with moderately adequate ffnan-
cial returns for the constantly increasing
outlay necessarily involved. This increas-
ed cost of production, covering all of the
chief elements from white paper 10 war
news, Is unavoidable under present cir
cumstances."
The Tines-Herald says: 1.-THE rate Of
one cent was insufficient to cover the cost
Of white paper Since the beginning of the
war there has been a large increase in
the cost of white paper. which has. of
course, increased the loss on each copy
of the newspapers. Notwithstanding the
enormous increase in the expense on ac-
count CT the war. there has been no in
crease from advertising in the revenues
of the Chicago papers. In fact, some lines
of advertising affected by the govern
ment war tax declined heavily or ceased
altogether. The Times-Herald desires to
do business on a business basis and this
is not possible on the basis of one cent
a copy. hence the decision TO return 10 the
former selling price of two cents"

1t Rained Chunks of leo

Mr.: Max Pincus, the well-known
Norfolk drummer, was in the city yes

hail and rain storm on Monday even
ing about 5 o'clock between Hobgood

on the train bound for Rocky Mount

OUR SOLDIER AND SAILOR BOYS
Would 1T Not be a Grand Act to EI.
empt the Protectors of Our COuntry's
Honor From the Payment of Poll Tax

Are United States soldiers exempted
by law from the payment of a poll
tax? or, to put the question in a more
concrete form, are the enlisted men
of the volunteer force from this state
subject to the payment of a poll tax
which accrued from June 1, 1897, to
June 1, 1898, provided the enlistment
was prior to the former dates?
The revenue act passed by the legis-
lature of 1897 prescribes that there
shall be levied ION each taxable poll
or male between the ages of 81 and SO
years, except the poor and infirm
whom the county commissioners may
declare and record fit subjects for ex-
emption from this tax. Would it be a
far fetched construction to say that
men, most of whom receive pay one-
third, One-fourth Or wen one-ffth less
than they gave up, when they volun-
teered. are financially poor; and, above
all, would it not be a grateful recogni-
ton of services rendered their coun-
try, for the county commissioners to
declare them exempt from the pay
ment of such a tax? Who would de-
muir?
In time Of war the laws are silent.
Then, if congruous with the due ad-
ministratiOn of law, let it be inopera-
tive in this particular, and let the
soldier boy go free of his tax. OF
course, if the initiative is taken by the
counties the towns and cities could and
would follow suit. Many of the fra
ternal societies have given special
privileges to their members along this
line in exemption from assessments
and dues. Should not this great cou-
fraternity Of American states initiate
their examples by doing all they can
for their subjects that is legitimately
within their province to do? It is very
far from our idea hat our soldiers
would ask for any such favor, the
more gracious then that it should be
rendered,
This exemption of poll tax, if carried
into effect, should also apply to our
sailor lads. Let it be n joint patri-
otto move.
