commended by the present Post
master General.
The present postmaster general
calls attention to the postal deficit
and recommends an increase of the
postage rates on periodicals and
magazines to meet the deficit. The
present postmaster general is astute
and able and he knows, or he ought
to know, that the increase of postage
rates on magazines, which he re.
| com mends, would not reduce the de-
| ficit, but would increase it. lie
! knows, or he ought to know, that if
such an increase were made the eX-
press companies would make ar
! rangements to transport and deliver
large, bulky magazines ana periodf-
Gals at a rate enough lower to gec
that business, and that they would
get it away from the post office. He
knows, or he ought to know, that
this would result in the loss of
| large revenue to the post office with
out a corresponding reduction in OK
penses, that only the express com
panies and the railroads would bene-
fit from the change; that the ex-
press companies would benefit be
cause of the large increase which it /
would produce in their business and
profits, that the railroads under thei'
contracts with the express COM
panies would share in that benef t
and in addition be relieved from the
transportation of a large amount IF
mail matter, for carrying which, uE-
der their longtime contracts with
the post office and under the sys
tenn of mail Weighings only once in
four years, they would also continue
for some time to be paid by the gov,
eminent. Meanwhile many publish |
ers would be Obliged to charge the |
public more for their periodicals and |
magazines and many other publish
ers would be subjected to losses and |
some would doubtless be forced to |
discontinue publication.
The scheme certainly would prove |
comprehensive in its effects. But can |
it be pulled off," 1t is exceedingly |
bold. Is there not some more subtle, |
less obvious and equally effective |
method of subduing and intimidating
the free and OntSpOken magazine !
press of the country? The exposure |
of railroad abuses, of corporation |
thieyery, agitation against political |
corruption and misrepresentation |
government, the publishing of cam |
paign contributions and manipula- |
tons, exposure of the laundering of |
the public domain and squandering
of natural resources, holding up to
the people the outrages of the tariff |
Jobbery-Of these offenses and others
like them, the magazines of the coun-
try have been guilty? Worst of all
they have way of gaining the pub
lie confidence, Obviously, they should
be punished. But some better scheme
should be found than that which
has been suggested by the present
postmaster general. .-- Lafollette's
