LOWER POSTAGE RATE
TO BE URGED BY TAFT

Washington, Nov. President Taft
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
reached an agreement yesterday on
the recommendation the president
will make to congress regarding a
change in the second class postage
rates affecting magazines and other
periodicals.
Mr.. Taft will recommend that maya
zines be required to pay the present
rate of / cent a pound on all reading
matter. and a much higher rate, to De
determined. later, on advertising pages.
Each magazine will be required to
send copy of its current issue to the
postofice department each week OF
month, as the case may be. There the
publication will be dissected. the read
ing matter and the advertising sec
tions will be weighed separately ane
the amount Of postage computed.
Newspapers will not be affected
The average haul Of the newspaper Il
but 800 miles, while the average hau
OF the magazine is 1 100 miles.
The hauling Of magazines has proved
costly to the government, and both tht
president and the postmaster genera
believe It has entered largely into the
deficit shown each year by the post
ONCE department
This deficit has been reduced IN the
last year, saving Of 81, 900 900 hay
ing been reported from the economies
mt into effect by Mr.. Hitchcock. The
adoption Of new rate for magazines,
Mr.. Hitchcock believes, will wipe out
the deficit and put the postal estab-
lishment on self-sustaining basis.
President Taft Is looking forward 70
/. 1-cent rate for letter postage, and
homes to recommend It before ne

WILL DISCUSS GOOD
ROADS LEGISLATION

Walla Walla, Wash, Oct. 29.-There
is every indication that the annual
convention Of the Washington State
Good Roads association in Walla Wal
la, November 20 to December l, will
be the most important and interesting
in the history of the organization.
The program includes q report by
Frederick w. Dewart Of Spokane,
chairman of the legislative committee,
composed Of one member from every
county in the state. This Is likely to
precipitate a fight to finish between
supporters of the state aid law and
those who have opposed the admins
tration of the state highway depart
ment.
Governors and representatives from
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and the prov
fnce of British Columbia will meet on
Nov ember 2S to discuss with delegates
from Washington some Of the vital
questions bearing on the good roads
problems presented in their several
localities. ]. A. Perry. secretary Of
the Spokane County Good Roads asso-
citation. has charge Of the interstate
convention, at which it is expected
there will be several hundred dele
gates from the outside states and
province mentioned.
Spokane, Wash, Oct. 29.-J. A.
Perry, secretary Of the legislative COM
mittee of the Washington Goods Roads
association, gave out the following
statement today:
Chairman Dewart Of the legislative
committee has received mass OF
correspondence from many parts Of
the state during the last three months.
These letters include suggestions from
county commissioners, engineers and
farmers as to desirable changes in the
present state law. Many Of them give
statistics as to the comparative cost
of roads under the old township sys-
tenn and the state aid law. The let
tiers are being condensed and classified
and will form an interesting report,
unon which to base the recommends
|tions Of the association to the next
legislature.
aMr. Dewart's report will clear the
atmosphere, and it is hoped by those
who have been actively identified with
| the GOOD roads movement in Washing
ton that it will also satisfy all elements
and factions as to the stewardship or
the good roads funds in the various
counties and districts OF this state.
