PRESIDENT TAFT RECOMMENDS
THAT sEcoND.cIAss MATTER
De TAXED MORE.
NEWSPAPERS INCLUDED
One Cent q Pound Is Declared by
Postmaster General Hitchcock to Be
Not Enough and the Rate Will Be
Doubled " the Special Message Is
Heeded by Congress.

Washington, Feb 22.-Presiden'
Taft today approved and forwarded
! to congress the report of the commits
| sion on second-class mail matter and
recommending that the postal rate on
magazines and newspapers be raised
from one cent to two cents pound
Postmaster General Hitchcock orig
inally recommended four-cent rate.
but later changed this to two. The
commission finds that the cost of
handling second-class matter Is abou,
five and half cents a pound. In
approving the two-cent rate, however.
President Taft declares that the busl-
ness enterprises of the publishers of
periodicals have been built up on the
basis of the one-cent rate, and there
fore 1t would be manfestly unfair to
put into immediate effect a larger in
crease In postage.
AS to the effect OF the proposed in
crease from one TO two cents a pound
President Taft quotes from the re-
port OF the postal commission, tho
following paragraph:
Such an increase will not I'm the
opinion OF the commission. bring dis
tress upon the publishers of news
papers and periodicals. or seriously
interfere with the dissemination of
useful news or information. A rea-
sonable time should he allowed after
the rate Is fixed. before II is put into
effect. While the news rate will ne
very far from compensating the gov
ernment for the carriage and handling
..f alu IN
extent relieve the existing burden and
result IN a more equitable adjustment
OF rates"
That newspapers and magazines have
been potent agencies for the dissem-
ination of public intelligence and con-
sequently have borne a worthy pact
in the development of the country.
Mr. TAFT says. all must admit
But" he adds, "it Is likewise true
that the original purpose of congress
in providing for them a subvention by
way of nominal postal charges in con-
sideration OF their value as mediums
OF public information ought not to
prevent an increase, because they are
now not only educational, but high
ly profitable. There is no warrant
for the great disparity between ex-
istipg postage rates on periodicals and
the cost of the service the govern
ment performs for them. The aggre-
gate postal revenues for the fiscal
year 1911 were s237,s79.s2s.6O. derived
mainly from the postage collected on

Replying to your letter OF February

your attention to the history Of the
events which lead up to the negoti-
ations OF the arbitration treaties now

Society for the Settlement of Inter-
national Disputes. I said: IT now VIC

positive agreement with some great
nation to abide by the adjudication OF
an international arbitral court in
every issue which cannot be settled by
negotiation, no matter what II involves,
whether honor. territory or money, we
shall have made a long step toward
demonstrating that II is possible for
two nations at least to establish be-
tween them the same system of due
process of law that exists between
Individuals under a government
This statement was followed by n
prompt and equally public announce
ment by France and Great Britain Of
their willingness to enter into negoti-
ations looking to the conclusion of
such treaty No other countries
have responded to this suggestion. this
government submitted to Great Britain
and France, as n basis of negotiations.
a tentative draft Of a treaty. the sub
stance of which was published in May.
1911, with the announcement that the
United States was prepared to enter
upon similar negotiations with other
nations.
Subsequently the diplomatic repre-
scntatives of Germany and of several
other countries have requested and
were given copies OF the tentative
draft, but the negotiations with Ger
many, as well as similar negotiations
with other powers, have been tenn
porarily held in abeyance, pending the
final action of the senate upon treaties
with Great Britain and France.
THE German government equally
with this government regarded the
