Increase In Volume,


Our attention has been directed TO
the fact that the postmasters general
III their annual reports have repeatedly
commented upon the Increase in the
volume Of second class matter and
upon the dIsparitR between the sup
posed cost Of transporting and han.
ding it in the mails ard the amount
received as postage. Their estimates
evidently reflected the opinion OF the
officers OF the department, but they
were based upon general experience in
TIC service. and not, upon II scientific
3nsesrta iilntent Of cost ~
1 ,FEe DIST question that yariS esAi8 re-
CARA to the rate is whether any dis
,crimipation- should be made between
different kinds Of second class matter.
Tie plpn proposed Of charging a specialI
rate for the portions of magazines de-
voted to advertisements seems open to
grave practical object Ions. The. amount
Of space given to advertising is 40 cri-
stetfon Of the educational value bf
magazine, and If the same provision
were applied to newspapers the at
tempt TO measure the snlce occupied
by advertisements would involve more
labor than is consistent With the rapid
dispatch of the daily press.
We conclude that whatever increase
be made should apply alike 10 newSpa-
pers and periodicals admitted to the
second class and that 1t Is itaprnrs
tlcaBle in the case of newspapers 10
charge a higher rate for spucp given 10
advertisements. 1t has been sugceMrd
that the proportion Of this space should
be limited for all second class matter.
but the true definition OF Surh matter
is that which is devoted primarily ~.
the dissemination of news and of r,u-
rent literature and instruction. an,t ne
,are not convinced that this cnp Lc

cast on the republican ticket for
governor are being received slowly
at Boise and it will be several
