Postmaster General Hitchcock :
annual report shows a surplus this
year of little over 100000. Some
of the increased revenue is due TO
bdrdensome rulings put on country
newspapers requiring them to pay

circulation heretofore on the free
list. Now that he has made his re-
cord. it is to be hoped that Mr.
Hitchcock will give the newspapers
