EXPLAINS PLAN
TO EQUAL|zE
POSTAGE
HITCHCOCK SEES CHANCE
TO REDUCE LETTER RATE
If Magazines Can Be Made to
Pay Actual Transportation
Cost First Class Mail Can Be
Sent Cheaper,

Washington, Nov. 4-Postmaster
General Hitchcock plan of requiring
the magazines to pay increased post
age ON their advertising pages and to
warrant one-cent postage on first
class mail in the near future, was Of
ficially explained today.
Mr.. Hitchcock, feeling his position
had not been clearly understood, is
sued this statement:
Postmaster General Hitchcock he
lieves that in carrying out the admin
stration's purpose to accomplish u
reasonable increase in the postage
rates on certain kinds of second class
matter. more distinction should be
made between advertising and what
is termed legitimate reading matter.
He does not favor under present con
ditions, an increase in the rates of
postage for carrying reading matter.
Any increase thus applied, he
points out, will place a special burden
on a large number Of second class
publications, such as educational and
religious periodicals, that derive little
or no profit from advertising.
For these publications and also
for any other legitimate reading mat
ter in periodical form, Mr.. Hitchcock
suggests Il continuation of the present
law postage rate of one cent a pound
anu recommends tldt the llioposeu
increase in rates be applied only to
advertising matter.
This plan would be in fun accord
with the statute governing second
class mail, a law that never justified
the inclusion under the second class
rates of the vast amounts OF advertis-
ing now transported by the govern
ment AT a tremendous loss
'In view of the vanishing postal
deficit. Mr. Hitchcock thinks that IL
the magazines can be required TO pay
what il costs the government to carry
their advertising pages, the depart
ments revenue would be large enough
n warrant one-cent hostage on first
class mal
Under the plan proposed. it Will
be possible without increasing the ex-
penditure of public funds to utilize
for the benefit of the entire people
that considerable portion Of the
postal revenues now expended to meet
the cost Of a special privilege enjoyed
by certain publishers.
Experiments made by the depart
ment show that ii is quite feasible to
determine the relative weights Of the
advertising matter and the legitimate
reading matter carried by the maga-
zines, and Mr., Hitchcock is convinced
that his plan can be put into success
ful operation
