UNCLE SAM SAYS PAY UP"

In its eff lrts to bring "set ond claas

IS eventually to work out rs first
class favor to publishers of dui and
weekly newspapers. In order To pro-
vide that the privileges OF the second
class are not secured largely ny fakjrs
who are not entitled TO them the de-
partment has decided on new quail
tication for that class, namely, that the
periodicals shall he paid for promptly
by the sub. cfi iber. The new regulation
goes into effect Jan. lst, but the un-
derstanding is that it will not he gen
orally enforced for six months there :
after. When it becomes effective the
second class rate of cent a pound will
apply TO daily newspapers only when
subscribers are not more than three
months in arrears, and to weekly
newspapers when the subscribers are
not more than one year delinquent;
semi -weeklies are allowed nine months
grace. The use of the mails is not
forbidden TO subscribers who fail to
pay up as specified, but the second
class rate is d. nie d hem, and he pub
Usher is required to affix stamps on
each copy at the rate OF one cent for
each four ounces. The requirement. is
practically prohibitive. The whole
arrangement Ia calculated to force the
publisher into demanding payment in

to bother dilatory subscribers, nor tt

second class rates. The publishers
should be required to pay circular
rates. If they were, either the reve-l
nues of the department would be gs eatiy
augmented or its burden of distribution
materially cut down. The department.
has tried many futile expedients for
getting rid of these barnacles. New@t
has determined to Withdraw the
second class rate from all periodicals
which cannot prove their merit by
keeping practically all mail suhscrip-
tions paid up. II is figured that the
fake circulars certainly cannot with
stand this test. Many persons will not
take them ou. and read them when
they are sent free. Certainly nobody
of Ordinary intelligence is going to pay
