NEW RULING

BY order of the Postmaster General,
Section 438 OF the Postal Laws and

lows:
2. The right of a publisher to fix the
price Of his publication or to induce
subscriptions by the giving OF pre-
miums, prizes, or other considerations,
or by clubbing his paper with other
papers, or by commissions upon SUBJ
scriptions obtained by agents, is not
questioned, but such methods will be
carefully scrutinized In respect OF
their effect upon the legitimacy OF the
subscription list as whole and upon
the question Of the primary design of
the publication.
3. A reasonable time will be allowed

four ounces or fraction thereof, pre-
paid by stamps affixed. The right Of
publisher to extend credit for the
subscriptions to his publications is not
denied Or questioned, but his compli-
ance or noncompliance with this reg
ulatiOn will be taken In consideration
In determining whether the publica-
tion is entitled to transmission at the
