analysis of the 159 periodicals other
than newspapers, journals and the like
published in Iowa and admitted TO the

privilege of carrying advertisements. it
appears that only four of them will be
subjected to an increase in postage By
The proposed amendment in the pend

age rate on the advertising pages OF
magazines

The higher rate does not amply to
newspapers OF any kind including farm
journals and similar publications tho,
print current information Of news VAL

sue. as happens to be the case with ev-
cry one except four Of the $50 general

lation will grant for the rest OF the
ewenty-six periodicals published in
Iowa the right to carry adverttsemen ts

tif1c and professional societies. etc AS
