-- To SUBSCRIBERS. The Journal has never
been in the habit of dunning delinquent
subscribers, but a recent ruling of the post
office department makes it necessary to
state the case. The department says that
we cannot mail The Journal at second class
rates to subscribers who are more than one
| wear in arrears. Such papers can only be
sent at transient rates; that is, a one cent
stamp must be placed on each paper-52
| cents year. With the present high price
of paper and printing material that is tax
which no newspaper publisher could stand,
| and il would be necessary to strike all such
| names from the mailing lists and turn the
accounts over to all attorney or collection
agency. The Journal has never sought to
| pad its mailing lists by forcing the paper on
any one. When subscription is handed
| in for three or six months or year the sub
| scriber is always asked: 'DO you wish the
paper stopped at the expiration OF the time
paid for ?" and if the answer is yes the pa
per is stopped. In regard to papers going
out of the State this has always been the
| rule, and the only exceptions have been
when request has been made to have the
| paper continued. Papers are always stop
| ped promptly on request when arrearages
are paid. Now the post Office department
| saws we cannot extend credit to subscribers
| for more than one year,. and We hope TO
| near dt udy lloih
arrears for more than that time.
