F
INCREASE IN POSTAGE
URGED BY PRESIDENT
THAT POSTAGE
ON NEWSPAPERS AND MAG
AZINEs BE DOUBLED.
to Congress- the Report
of the Commission on Second
Glass Matter.-Cost of
Handling the Mail.
Associated Press Special.

Washington, Feb. 22,-President
Taft today approved and forwarded
to congress the report of the COM
mission on second class mail matter
and recommending that the postal
rate on magazines and newspapers
\ be raised from one cent to two
lcents a pound.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
joriginally recommended four cen,
rate. but later changed this to two.
The commission finds that the cost
of handling second class matter is
about five and a half cents a pound.
In approving the two cent rate,
however, President Taft, declares
that the business enterprises OF the
publishers of periodicals have been
built up on basis of the one cent
rate therefore it would be manifest
ly unfair to put into immediate eff
feet larger increase in postage.
AS to the effect of the proposed in
crease from one to two cents a
pound President Taft quotes from
one report of the postal com mission,
the following paragraph:
Such an increase will not, in the
opinion of the commission, bring
distress upon the publishers of news
papers and periodicals, or seriously
interfere with the discrimination of
useful news or information A
reasonable time should be allowed
after the rate is fixed, before it is
put into effect. While the news
rate will be very far from compen-
sating the government for the carri-
age and handling of second-class
matter. it will to some extent re-
lieve the existing burden and result
in more equitable adjustment of
rates.
| That newspapers and magazines
have been potent agencies for the
discrimination of public intelligence
and consequently have borne a
worthy part In the development of
the country, Mr., Taft says, all must
admit.
But" he adds st is likewise true
that the original purpose Of con-
gress in providing for them sub
vention by way of nominal postal
charges in consideration OF their
value as mediums of public infor-
nation ought not to prevent an in
crease, because they are now not
only educational but highly profita-
bic. There is no warrant for the
great disparity between existing
postage rates on periodicals and the
cost of service the government per-
forms for them. TIE aggregate pos
tai revenues for the fiscal year 1911
were $237,879, $3.50, derived
mainly from the postage collected
on the four classes of mall matter.
IIt is carefully estimated by the Post
office Department that the revenue
derived from mail matter of the
first class is approximately one and
one-half times the cost of carriage,
that the returns from third and
fourth class matter are slightly in
excess of their cost of handling and
carriage; and that while second
class matter embraces over 65 per
cent of the entire weight of all the
mail carried, it nevertheless yields
little more than 5 per cent of the
postal revenues"
The postal commission on sec
ond class matter was appointed by
President Taft following the contro-
versy caused by the Postmaster Gen

OVER S25, 600, 600 FORAUTOS
Registration of Cars in Georgia Has
Passed $4,000 Mark. The Small
Towns Have Their Proportion.

ATLANTA.-The registration Of
automobiles in Georgia has passed
the $4,000 mark in Secretary of
State Phil Cooks office, and the num-
Der of duly registered automobiles
now owned by Georgia people is es-
timated to represent a financial out
lay of something over $25, 100000,
at a conservative estimate.
Last year when the registration
stood at 10000 auto experts esti-
mated the value of the cars in Geor-
gia at nearly $20,000,000, but since
that time there has been a phenome-
nally large sale of cheaper priced
cars, averaging less than $1,000
each, which has changed the sum
total relatively
Some estimates of the present val
ne of automobiles in Georgia put the
total at $3O,O00,0O0, but $25,OOO,-
600 represents the ultra-conservatiYe
estimate.
Of the $4,000 motor cars now in
operation the ownership is by no
means largely confined to the larger
cities. Every small town has it's
proportion, and hundreds are owned
by farmers.

DIVER AND DEVILFISH.
Two Hour Battle Between Them Far
Down in the Depths of the Sea.

Two Hour Battle Between Them Far
Down in the Depths of the Sea.
While a crew of japanese abalone
divers were recently at work off the
mouth of the Sur river, Monterey
bay, California, giant octopus
caught T. Yamaguchi and nearly
squeezed the life out of him. For two
hours the diver struggled with the
devilfish, which held him so tight he
could not be hauled into the boat.
His diving suit saved his life.
Yamaguchi stepped right into the
octopus. Before he could move it
had it's giant arms entwined about
him. His struggles were useless and
when he finally could give the signal
to hoist him up the octopus held him
so firmly his companions were afraid
they would break the airpipe if they
pulled hard, The diver finally was
brought to the surface.
Thousands of the tentacle suckers
held to the diving suit as if they were
cemented. Piece by piece the ten
tacles had to be cut away. Finally
Yamaguchi was rescued, and when
the diving suit was released he fell
from exhaustion.
The octopus weighed 275 pounds,
and is the largest one ever caught on
the Pacific coast. Its tentacles meas
ured about Is feet.
