one Flag Too Many.
(Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, November Ca
Trouble has broken out among tho
Coast sympathizers with the revOlu-
tionists in China and as a result Of q
factional dispute, eight hundred thou
sand dollars collected as a contribution
to the revolutionists war fund is tied
up.
Yesterday rival flag appeared to
the "sun banner that has stood for
Chinese republicanism throughout the
United States, the holsters of the new
flag declaring that it was the one under
which General Lii Yuen Hung was lead
ing his troops to victory. They de-
clared the sun flag to be spurious.
Those having the custody of the war
fund have decided to hold it until the
factions can settle the question of the
rival flags and agree as to where the
$SO0,000 is to be sent.

In order to expedite the construction
Of a still frmer legal foundation for the
sanitation campaigns, now in progress
and those planned for the future, the
antimosquito committee has definitely
decided to introduce test case in the
courts.
Attorneys Frank E. Thompson and A.
f. Judd, both members of the commit
tee, have been appointed special com
mittee to arrange this and IN accord
ance with plans suggested at the daily
meeting Monday afternoon, they held
conference with Attorney-General Lind
say Yesterday. The latter expressed a
favorable opinion on the proposition
and it now remains to find only a de-
fendant.
1t is the plan to bring the test case
up on the banana subject, selecting
some citizen who has a few plants in
his yard and who is willing to answer
to a penal summons and let the matter
proceed directly before the supreme
court on stipulated facts. 1t is believed
that a decision should be obtained in
side of ten days Mr.. Prosser may rep
resent the defendant.
The campaign is progressing to a
point where the daily meetings of the
committee find little before them. Doc
tor Blue, the director, reported that he
was preparing map TO show the
ground already covered and this will be
completed today.
Wrigglers are still coming in by the
jarsful and data is being added to the
files continually regarding breeding
places and habits. Doctor Blue anc
Doctor Pratt, president of the board Of
health, spent yesterday morning search
ing for them, in the course Of whicl
they examined several hundred feet O.

city without finding a single specimen

TOXIC, November s1.-Tho people
of Picking, city and district, are sharp
ly divided into two factions, agreeing
only on one point, that being the mo-
cessity of the abdieation Of the Emperor.
The strongest faction at present is that
headed by Yuan Shh-ISai, which insists
that little can be accomplished at this
time by the establishment of Chinese
Republic and that some step in gradua-
ton must be taken at the present to
enable China to face the possibility OF
foreign Intervention. The other party
is that of the republicans, who arc
clamoring for the immediate abdication
of the Emperor and the establishments
of full republic.
Another report has reached here to
the effect that constant skirmishing in
going on between the Imperial outposts
around Nanking and the revolutionists-
The Imperials are at disadvantage
and many small victories for the revo-
lutionists are reported.

Can the Magazines 'Pass On" the Increase :?

The 4-cents-a-pound rate on advertising would
require an advance of approximately so per cent in
suhscrption prices of the widely circulated
magazines if the publisher is to recoup himself by
raising the cost of living to the public in its
sumption of magazines.
Would the public pay SO per cent more for the
same article?
The question is answered eloquently and finally
nv the subscription records of the magazines that
were forced to increase their rates Canadian
subscriptions when Canada enforced 4-cent rate
American periodicals. AS the discriminatory rate
was later withdrawn in certain cases, have
complete cycle of record and proof.
In June 1907, the Review of Reviews began to
nav cents a pound postage Canadian subscrip-
tions instead of cent, and in consequence
forced to raise its Canadian subscription price from
$500 to $3.50 year.
Its Canadian yearly subscribers in July, 1907
numbered 1913.
At once the subscription list began to fall off,
and continued to do steadily until in January,
1910, it had come down to 9O4 names.
Early in 1910, the Review of Reviews was
readmitted into the Canadian postof1ce at 1 cent
q pound, its subscription price reduced to the
old figure of $500, and the Canadian list quickly
"came back" having reached already in February
1911 the figure of $3.50 annual subscribers.
What would happen if popular American maya
zines were increased so per cent to the public?
In this Canadian incident the price of the Review
of Reviews was increased only 16 2.3 per cent and
the circulation fell off So per cent.

THE PROOF IN BRIEF
EXHIBIT B-(Continued).

measurement, carry per cent advertising in
proportion to reading matter than do magazines.
(b The statement that magazines cost the Post
once Department more per pound than newspapers
is disproyed by the Departments own figures.
The Posofice Department states that owing to
the different average lengths of haul it costs cents
to transport a pound of magazines and 2 cents to
transport pound of newspapers.
Besides the cost of transporting mail, figured. Of
course by weight and length of haul there
three large factors of cost, apportiOned according
to the number of pieces of mail. The second class
mail share of these cost items is given by Postmaster
General Hitchcock $39,S00,000 BY the Depart
ments figures, the magazines share of this
(proportioned to number of piecesl is $2166,O0O.
The newspaper share is s2S,7S2,OOO. (Arrived at
from the Departments figures and method of
fguringO
Dividing these sums by the number of pounds of
magazines and newspapers, respectively, in the
second class mails, we have
The cost of hauling and handling maga-
zines, cents plus IA cents. 64 cents
The cost of hauling and handling
papers, cents, plus 675 cents...... SIS cents
few other minor cost items, if they affected
the relative result at ALL would favor magazines.
So the Departments figures make it lose
on the fundamental operations of hauling and
handling:
775 cents pound on 426 sO3 pounds
of newspapers, $50, ,0S2 73
As against losing 5.4 cents a pound
154719317 pounds of magazines Or. 1854 S4314
With loss, arrived at from its own figures, more
than 400 per cent great on newspapers on
magazines the Department goes to the magazines,
of scarcely onethird the weight of newspapers, and
with not one-twentieth the financial ability to pay
such a tax to meet the whole burden of this
futile and con1scatory attempt to reduce the deficit
This is merely refutaton of the Departments
for discriminating against magazines. We
do not believe the figures right and do
believe that both magazines and newspapers help
the Departments finances in the last analysis.
But the huge injustice and damage of this
lies in the power given the Postmaster General
of life and death periodicals.
He is the only one to what is a magazine
and what is a newspaper There is no definition
known POStOftlce
that would have any bearing the where a
publisher claimed his periodical was a newspaper,
not a magazine. Newspaper and periodical are
terms used INTERCHANGEABLE by Legislatures and
Postofice officials
No man has had in the United States such
power entire industries Ought it to begin in
the present situation where the industries in ques-
ton largely the outspoken progressive perodi-
Gals, dealing and every year with public
affairs and persons, and where the censor is the
official in charge of the political fortunes of his

This disappearance of advertising gain in CIV

nation of the phenomenon of the handsome, we'll

labor as is shown here, less than One-tenth OF the

They take account of the newsstand COPIES mailed
at the second class rates by the companies
of the country. The newsstand edition, in the
of two of these five leading magazines, is larger

These results for the FIVE in

Is the Deficit Due to Second Class Mail?

The Annual Reports of the Postmaster General
are the authority for the following figures
In the year 1870 there deficit in the opera
tions of the United States Postohce Department OF
PA per cent of its turnover.
In 1879 there was passed the act that put second
class matter on a pound-payment basis An imme-
date increase in second class matter began.
In 1880 there a deficit in the Postofice
operations of only SO per cent of its business.
In 1885 passed the law that made the
rate for second class matter 1 cent pound, which
still further increased second class mail 1t trebed
in the decade preceding 1890.
In 1890 the deficit in the operations Of the
Postoice Department SS per cent
The next decade brought a much larger increase
in second class matter than previous ten years.
from 174O5S91O pounds in 1890 to SS253S.ss9 pounds
in 1900
The deficit in the Postofice operations in the
year 1900 was SO per cent of its business.
In fhe prosperous years following 1900 the
increase of second class matter stupendous;
from 3S253S999 pounds in 1900 to 4SS2469O3 pounds
in 19O2-only two years.
In 1901, nevertheless, there a deficit in the
Postof1ce operations of only 3.5 per cent of its
business.
And in 1902, the deficit in the PostofHce opera
tions "a per cent, the smallest percentage Of
deficit in eighteen years, and the smallest but two
in ffty-seVen years
But in this year is seen new important item
of expense, 100000 for rural free delivery. Our
Government had wisely and benefcently extended
the service of the Postoffce to farmers in isolated
communities regardless of the expense of so doing
for rural free delivery, and losing $29,000000.
1t will be clear from these figures, that begin
ming with the advent of the second class pound rate
system, the deficit of the Postoffce has steadily
declined-the decrease being always coincident with
the expansion of circulation and advertising of
periodicals-until in 1902 there a substantial
surplus which the Government wisely fit to
for a purpose not related to the needs of magazines
and periodicals.
Since 1902, there has always been a surplus in
the operations of the Postofce Department, outside
of the money the Government has seen fit to expend
for rural free delivery In the present 1910 the
report of the Postmaster General shows a surplus
of $23000,000. The years 1902 to 1910 have
shown Il surplus in the Postofice profit and loss
account, aggregating over $74OOO,000, outside the
actual loss the rural free delivery system
Just how second class mail aids the Depart
ment's finances by originating profitable first class
postage be in Exhibit E.
1t should be borne in mind that the turning Of
large deficits into actual surpluses, which has
coincidently with the expansion of second class mall
of circulation pushing, and of advertising, is in
spite of enormous expansion in Governmental
mail, carried free and Congressional mail franked.

The Injustice Of Discriminating Against Magazines

Why should the Administration have gone to
small 20 per cent portion of the second class mail
to increase postal rates? The Postmaster General
gives the magazine weight 1923 per cent of the
whole second class mail. Why concentrate all the
increase on a 20 per cent classification?
Let us look at the reasons given by the Admin
istration-
The Administration says (a), magazines carry
more advertising than newspapers; (b), they cost
the Postofice Department than newspapers
because they are hauled farther.
(a) 1t is not true that magazines carry
advertising than newspapers. Newspapers by actual

How Magazine Advertising Reduces Post Office Deficits

The astonishing record contained in Exhibit A
of the absolutely unVarying coincidence of decreases
in Postolce deficits with increases in second class
mail is square up against the Postmaster Generals

every pound of second class mall and loses over
$62,OO0,000 year a whole on second class mail.
