The report OF the acknowledgement
is very explicit as 10 the frauds on the
service by publishers who issue novels
and other books under pretense Of peri
odicals. Over one-fourth of the entire
volume and weight OF the mails pays as
second-class matter when it should pay
third-class, and furnishes only 1-55th
part Of the postal revenue. and its car
rying, reckoning at cents a pound,
costs S14.l0s.12a, While revenue from Il
was for the year Sf.76S.5l0. thus caus-
ing loss to the government of over
Sl2,00o00o The report says: "The
most urgent need OF the postal service
IS the rectlncation Of the enormous
wrongs which have grown up In the
perversion and abuse OF the privilege
accorded by law to second-ciass mat
ter This costly abuse which drags on
the department and weighs down the
service, trammels its power and means
OF effective advancement In every di
rectlon, involves sheer wantor
waste OF S20,0O0OO0 or upward a year
The postal deficit for the current year
is s6,6i0,776. But for this wrongful an
plication Of the second-class rate. in
stead OF a deficit there would be a cles
surplus Of many millions It is no
now proposed to restrict the privilege
Of legitimate publications or to modif
the design Of the law. but only to brin
back its application to its original am
Just scope. Il is believed that full
one-half Of all the matter mailed a
second-class and paid for at the poun
rate is not properly second-class withi
the intent Of the law, and ought iustli
70 be paid for at the third-class rat,
This gives the enormous quantity q
l76.S516l3 pounds from which the dc
partment derives only a fraction OF III
revenue 10 which it Is fairly entitled
The department actually derives
revenue Of l4.75 cents q pound Tor th
thlrd-class matter mailed last year. an
on this basis the department woal
have received flr this wrongly classe
second rate matter s26.Oll.sgg iustea
oi Sl.i53.5l6. which Il actually receives
and the postal revenues would have II
creased By the handsome sum Of S24

pecially every newspaper I'm the couI
try Is directly interested in this matte
and should do an thai can be done
