tariff provisions Of the Chicago plat
form Of 1908 and said that the condi

that a tariff based on a difference OF

Canada. to substantial FREQ trade:
"A reciprocity agreement" said tho
President, "is give and take. and my
impression is that when you examine

Ruin to Cheaper Magazines.
Tho publishers OF tho cheaper maya
Zines say that It will drive them en-
tirely out OF business, and tho cities
and rural communities that have been
suddenly massed to fight the bill say
that IT will strike them not only
through breaking up the ma gazine bust
ness. but by deprivtng them OF cheap
magasine literature.
The proposal was placed in the post
ment with view. 1t was announced by
the administration, OF Increasing the
postal revenues. The publishers claim
that 1t will largely reduced the revenues
by driving all but a few Of the more ex-
pensive magazines out OF business

The representatives OF the Curtis

tho publishers that they too had Joined
the fight and would urge all the members
Of both houses that they knew to work
against tho proposed postage increase.

to oppose the rate increase.
The publishers believe that the proposed

that they were confident that IL could

its present form.
Discrimination Charged.
Those publications which send out less

issue are exempt from the increased
rates. One prominent publisher said:
Take two men who publish a magazine
or trade paper dealing with the same
subject One may have only small
business and his entire issue may weigh
less than 1000 pounds. He will pay the
government cent . pound His COM
