the tariff from print paper, that the
democratic national platform declared
| for such removal, and that no one out
side of the already protected interests
are demanding tariff on print paper
we should be glad to learn just what
reason Senator Taliaferro had for the
position he took.
To this request for an explanation
Senator Taliaferro replies as follows !:
Washington, D. c., July 10, 1909.
Hon. Frank L. Mayes, Pensacola Fla:
My Dear Mr.. Mayes-I notice in
your issue of the Sth instant an edi-
torial, Senator Taliaferro Should Elk
plain"
l have tried throughout the consid-
GRAFTON of the tariff bill to vote con-
sistently for a revenue duty on every
article of import excepting only the
necessaries OF life. | recognize that
the tariff is a tax and l know no good
or just reason why newspapers should
be exempted while others are requir-
ed to pay.
The present duty On print paper IS
Sc per ten, under which, in it's several
classificatiOns, it paid a revenue of
about 100000. My vote was for a
duty of 81 per ton, or a substantial
reduction.
With kind regards,
Very truly yours,
JAS. P. TALIAFERRO.
We do not think the senator's eX-
PLANTATION is satisfactory. 1t is merely
an assertion that the tariff on print
paper is a tax and that the newspa-
pers are trying to be exempted from
taxes which others are required to
pay
On behalf of every newspaper in
the country we repel the suggest n
and challenge the logic of the asser-
ton itself. No newspaper objects to
paying any proper tax for the support
of the government, but in this case
the government does not get the tax
it goes to the pockets of the pro-
tected interests which control the do
nestle paper supply.
By Senator Taliaferro's own state
ment it is shown that of the millions
of dollars of paper annually used by
the American publishers the govern
nent derives in taxes" only the pal
try sum of about 100000. This, in
itself, ought to be sufficient answer to
the senator's proposition that this tar
if is intended as a tax" on newspa-
pers for the support of the govern
ment. 1t is nothing of the kind. 1t
simply prohibits the importation of
Canadian paper (as the paltry $780,
300 derived from this source shows) |
and leaves the domestic publisher at |
the mercy of the paper manufactur- |
ers who control the domestic supply. |
And thse manufacturers in turn pro-
;eed to tax the publishers to the
amount of the tariff per ton, and put
he taxes" in their own pockets.
If Senator Taliaferro wants the
publishers Of the United States to
BAY taxes for the support of the gen
eral government by means of tariff
evied on paper, let him lower that
ariff below the prohibitive point,
make it possible for the domestic pub
Usher to buy where he can buy the
cheapest and thus secure a revenue
which cannot be secured while the
American publisher is at the mercy
# the domestic manufacturer.
We do not think the senator's ex-
,lanation explains.-Pensacola Jour-

4rHE POOR NEWSPAPER MAN"

| Perhaps the newspaper man OF
Florida, so often derided for his pow
erty, is enjoying as much solid pros
perity as the average business people.
The Tampa Tribune some time ago
installed a fast press, several Mer-
genthaler linotype machines and 9TH
er things necessary to run an up-to-
date morning newspaper, such as the
business requirements of its home
town and south Florida demanded.
The business of the Jacksonville
Metropolis has increased so rapidly
that it hardly gets the new worn on
of one fast press before a still faster
one is required, and it has recently in
stalled the necessary equipment for
Ia town double the size of Jackson

. The Tampa Times is doing identi-
cally the same thing and is paving
the way to print an evening paper in
Tampa equal to the Atlanta Evening
Journal, and to help it do so has Sc
cured the services of Willis Powell,
who made bushel of money running
a paper over in st. Petersburg.
The Pensacola Journal, which has
really built up a phenomenal busi-
ness, besides owning a home Of its
own with all the accessories neces-
sary for the publication of a great
newspaper, has multiplied its pay
roll more than five fold in the past
decade, and great as it is its daily
bank deposits are able to meet i'll

The Gainesville Sun has installed
Mergenthaler machine and its office,
in other respects, is a model, and be-
sides the editor owns one of the real
ly fine residences in the University
City.
The Punta Gorda Herald owns its
building and plant and the building |
is two-story one.
The same thing can be said OF the |
