is a limit beyond which they can't go
in advertising rates without losing
business, and the more circulation
they get after they leach that limit
the worse off they are.
The little papers have to pay most
for white paper and get the lowest
advertising rate. They can't raise
rate without increasing circulation,
and white paper cost may break
them before they can get enough ad-
ditional circulation to raise rates.
Many of the small dailies have no
paper contract at all, but must pay
the market price which is whatever
the manufacturers choose to charge.
Many small papers are paying as
high as and z cents pound now.
Even the big papers in making a
yearly contract have to estimate how
many tons they will use, and then
take and pay for One-twelfth of that
monthly. That means that in the
dull advertising season, when they
are using a minimum amount of pa
per they must take the one-twelfth
just the!same and pay storage charg-
es until the busy season sets in. This
acts as an additional increase in the
cost of paper.
Now if newspaper uses more
than the amount contracted for it
must pay the market price for the
excess: For example, if the Daily
News pays 31a cents a pound by con-
tract after Jan. it will have to con-
tract for so many tons during the
year. If circulation goes above the
estimate the News will have to pay
the market price for the excess. The
cost quotation heard for big papers
at the market price was 6 cents a
pound.
The mills ordinarily have a sur
plus. Now they have none. Con-
sumption is fully up to production

news, isn't news at all and is only
published so there may be some read
ing matter on all of the pages except
those filled with full-page ads. Many
advertisers require in their contracts
that their ads be run alongside Of
pure reading matter. Some require
that reading matter be run on top
and alongside pure reading matter.
The number of pages for each is
sue is determined by the amount of
advertising, and much miscellany is
kept set up in the composing room to
fill in the space around the adVer-
tisements.
Advertising rates are largely de-
termined by the volume of circula-
ton plus the standing of the paper.
The greater the circulation the high
er the advertising rate. That's why
newspapers resort to every conceiY-
able trick to increase circulation, in

When white paper was cheaper
most newspapers took returns, which
means that they would put more pa

boys could sell, and took back unsold |
COPIES. In Chicago some of the pa
pers have forced the boys to take a
certain number daily asd made them
pay for the papers whether sold or
not.
All newspapers are now trying to
find ways to eliminate waste: They
are cutting off returns, cutting down
the number of extras and doing ev-
erything they can to save paper-be~
cause the more papers they sell the

REPUBLICANS GAIN SIX SEATS IN

New York, Nov. 9.-The Democrats
will retain control of the senate by a
reduced majority.
The Republicans made net gain
Of six, capturing Is Democratic dis
tricts while the Democrats had taken
nine from the Republicans. This
would reduce the present Democratic
house majority of % to II. Repub-
lican leaders, however, insisted they
would win the house. They claimed
a gain of several seats in Indiana and
two in Michigan.
Lose Four Senators.
Practically complete returns showed
that the Democrats certainly have lost
four United States senators, one each
in Maine, New York, New Jersey and
Maryland, while they gained one each
in Rhode Island, Delaware and Utah.

assured. If the Republicans and Dem
ocrats should lose all these as ind1-
Gated the senate still would remain

jority in the present senate is 16.
Surprise in Rhode Island.
The most surprising development in
the senatorial contest was the defeat
of Senator Henry F. Lippitt, Repub-
lican, Of Rhode Island, by Peter Goe-
let Gerry, Democrat, as the state
otherwise went Republican.
With 76 congressional districts to
be cleared up, Republicans now have
gained 10 seats over their quota in
the present hQyse, while the Demo
Gratis have CALLED 10, net gain of
nine for the Republicans, which re-
duces the present Democratic majority
of % to five. Two Democratic dis
doubtful, may reduce the majority to
one.
Democrats Hold Power.
Late returns from Ohio, indicating
the reelection of Senator Atlee Pom
creme, Democrat, over Myron T. Her
rick, Republican, virtually ended the
possibility of Republican ascendancy
in the senate. With Democratic lead
ers insisting that Hitchcock in Ne
braska and Pittman in Nevada have
been reelected, and with Kendrick
probably elected in Wyoming, the po-
litical status of the new senate would
thus be: Democrats, 81; Republicans,
AZ, with the result in Arizona and
New Mexico still in doubt. Should
the Republicans carry both the Demo
cratic majority in the senate would
be eight.
