FIGHTS POSTAGE INCREASE
American Newspaper PubIishers' A.
sociation Committee Attacks
Plan to Double Rates.

Washington.-A warm attack on
Hitchcock's plan to increase the sec
ond-class postage rates is contained In
q bulletin just issued by the postal
committee of the American Newspar
per Publishers association. Don G.
Seitz of the New York World is chair
man of the committee. The bulletin
says:
The extent to which the post
Office department does not carry Sec
ond-class matter Is we'll revealed In
the following abstract OF inquiry OF
publishers conducted by house com.
mittee on expenditures In the post
office department (William A. Ash.
brook, chairman) concerning the vol
ume. weight and handling Of the out
put of publications entered as mail
matter of the second-class for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911:
Inquiry was made of all publish
ers, approximating thirty thousand, OF
which nearly seventeen thousand are
weekly publications.
More than ten thousand returns
were received, embracing sixty-six
plus per cent. of all tonnage of pub
locations.
The publications reporting repre-
sent an annual output of more than
six and one-half billion copies, the
weight of which was one and three
quarter billion pounds.
These publications delivered by
mail in such period weighed 633, ,012.-
903 pounds.
They delivered by their own car
riers, newsboys, and news companies
S40,466,574 pounds, Of which an unas-
ceftained percentage was carried to
destination by express and other rail
shipments outside the mail. They de-
livered by express, 202, 2,729, $40 pounds,
and by other rail shipments 121,4 ,491.-
748 pounds. The rate by express and
rail varies from Il to l cent per
pound, but the bulk of these ship
ments went at a rate Of "a to y cent
per pound.
THE post office for the year end
ing June 80, 1911. handled 1,001,-
$50, and excluding one-half million
pounds free In county matter, it re-
ceived one cent per pound
"All this goes to add to the alb
surdity Of the proposed Hitchcock leg
islation doubling the second-class rate
from one to two cents per pound, and
limiting the privilege to publications
that carry as much reading matter as
they do advertising.
"The proposition was stupid enough
when the postal deficit reached ST.
100000 two years ago. 1t becomes
preposterous in face of surplus.
What business has a transporta
tion corporation, which is all the post
Off. is, to prescribe how business
shall be conducted?
Newspapers cannot afford to ex-
pand their columns beyond the call
of the days news, nor can they be
expected to control the requirements
of their advertisers who have right
to reach the public as copiously as
they care to.
1T cannot be assumed that such
legislation will ever get by congress.
But publishers are requested TO fight
the theory that the right to send their
output by mail Is privilege" The
figures show it Is not
THE post office is a badly man
aged business. That Is all. We
