of this inquiry is not a temporary or
provisional one. It is an attempt 10 get

basis. II involves even more than that.
1t involves the way in which the bur-

The commission points out that there
are four cardinal defects in the pres
ent system of charges for second-class
matter as follows:
The difference between the second
class rate and the next higher rate,
the third-class rate, Is too great In
other words, the second-class rate lis
relatively too low. Wholly dissimilar
services are performed for the same
rate. Substantially similar service are
charged different rates"
Concerning the first defect the COM
mission says:
An Abnormal Disproportion.
"The mere fact that the next higher
rate that for printed matter, is 500
per cent greater than the periodical
rate, creates an almost irresistible
temptation to give all printed matter
the periodical form. Immense auanti-
ties of printed matter are put up In
periodical form for the bald purpose Of
accomplishing its distribution at the
cent a pound rate"
1t is pointed out that this abnormal

AS a remedy for the disparity be-
tween the receipts and the cost in
connection with the transportation OF
mail the commission suggests that the
practice no longer continue of charging
on a losing basis the same rate for
wholly dissimilar services. In this con-
nection 1t is suggested that the incre-
ment of postage for the increment Of
weight above the first four ounces
should be one-half cent for each ad-
ditional four ounces.
The commission holds with regard to
fiction matter that the classification
which puts a complete novel in one
class and novel published serially il
another class is a false classification.
With regard to newspapers. the COM
mission maintains that the prime de-
feet in the statute defining what con-
stitutes a newspaper is that the pur-
pose described is so broad as TO in
clude everything and exclude nothing.
with the exception Of a few in
stances" 1t says. where the publica-
ton has been excluded because the
information was deemed not TO be pub
lie. no periodical has ever been clas-
sified by the application OF tests of this
kind. Any attempt to apply them gen.
orally would simply end in a press
censorship"
While admitting that its recommend.
ations do not afford a complete and
final solution OF the problem, the COM
mission Is OF the opinion that the
changes recommended will accomplish
everything that has been claimed fer
them; that they are exceedingly con-
servative and may be put into opera
tion without disturbing to any consid-
cradle degree the important interests
concerned.
