NEW ACT AFFECTING

New Federal Law Requires Periodi-

Washington, Sept. 16.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock today issued in
structions for carrying into effect the
news newspaper and periodical law,
first returns under which must be
made by October 1.
The law requires that publishers
shall file on the first days of April
and October of each year, both with
the postmaster general and with the
local postmaster, under penalty of de-
NAL Of the use Of the mails, a sworn
statement of the names and adj
dgssses of the oH-sa --s.s
manager of their newspape1S and Pc
riodicals. Religious, fraternal, tenn
perance and scientific publications are
excepted. For a corporation the
names of the holders of more than
one per c. of the stocks, bonds, or
other secna tiles must be given, and,
In the case OF daily newspaper, a
statement Of the average paid circu-
lation for the preceding six months
is required.
All editorial or other reading mat
ter appearing in a newspaper or mag
azine for the publication of which pay
is accepted or promised, must be

Department Did Not Favor It.

ed by the postoffice department. said
Postmaster General Hitchcock, 'it
will be administered faithfully and
impartially. In framing the act, con-
gress doubtless had in mind the lead
ing daily newspapers, but it will af-
feet also nearly $4,000 weeklies.
Many of these publications are having
a hard struggle for existence and will
find the making of returns a consider
able burden.
"1n my judgment-and I so ex-
pressed it to the congress-the pro-
vision will be harmful, as it will re-
quire the continuous use of valuable
space in the publications and, at the
same time be resented as a censor
| ship of the press. One of the great
est difficulties now encountered in the
enforcement of the law relating to
the second class mail privilege is that
the postoffice department is compelled
by law to make inquiry into so many
aspects of the private business of
publishers. This gives rise to the
omplaint-ill- founded in my opinion
that the government interferes
needlessly with the privileges of the
press. My judgment is that it should
be the constant aim, not only of the
congress, but of the postoffice de.
partment, to lessen the necessity fo,
supervision of the public press in the
enactment and administration OF
postal laws"
On July 1, 1912, there were 2s,144
newspapers and periodicals enjoying
second class mail privileges. There
were 2,514 dailies, 17217 weeklies, g..
277 monthlies, 1851 quarterlies, anc
1875 having other periods of issue
OF these, all except about $4,000 ex
empted publications, will be affected
by the new law.

some OF the chief canals of India and
the Grand canal of China, which runs

the big ditch the kaiser dug to give the
German navy an outlet from the Baltic,
and also over the Manchester ship canal,
which carries our cotton from the sea
right into the heart of old England. i
