Many readers have from time to
time requested information concern
Ing subscription laws. Seven have
been compiled from decisions Of the
United States Court, and embody
points that bother many newspaper
publishers. The seven are:
/. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishingto renew their
subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postoffice to which they are
directed they are responsible until
they have settled their bills and
ordered them discontinued.
4. II subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to
the former address,, they are held
responsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for Is prima facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advan
they are bound TO give notice at the
end of the time If they do not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send 1t,
and the subscriber is responsible
until an express notice, with pay
ments of all arrearages, is sent to
the publisher.
z. The latest postal laws are
such that newspaper publishers can
arrest any one for fraud who takes
a paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law, the man who let's
his subscription run along for some
time unpaid and then orders it dis
continued, leaves himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same as for
theft. 1t will be seen that many
disputed points are disposed of by
these decisions, which are certainly
only just. If subscriber doesn't
want to renew his subscription, let
him notify the publisher. The sec
ond decision given here will be a
surprise to some publishers, who
believe they must stop a delinquent
subscribers paper if ordered to.
The delinquent must pay up If he
wishes to discontinue bis subscrip-
ton, otherwise he Is held respon-
sible for it as long as the paper is
sent to him, whether he takes 1t
from the postoffice or not.-News-
paperdom.
