ONE CENT PAPER
DOOMED BY EXPENSE
Cost of Materials Will Force
Rise in Price Says Secre-
tary Redfield.
PAPER SCARCE AND COSTLY

Washington, July l9.--"The 1-cent
newspaper will be a thing OF the past
within short time," predicts Secre-
tary Of Commerce William c. Red
field. prices have increased all
along the line on nearly all commodi-
ties and within the last few months
there has been steady increase in
the price OF the materials entering
into the making of news print paper
and an increased demand for paper.
Increase is Imperative.
"The indications are that early this
fall, when the new contracts are
made, or before, there will be further
increases in news print paper prices,
and publishers will be unable to get
out l-cent papers without a loss, ard
an increase in price will be impera-
tive.
From information which has
reached me / am of the opinion that
advertising rates will have to be in
creased also, as it appears that the
increased cost of paper cannot be
made up alone by the increase in the
price of the newspaper"
Publishers in Conference.
Des Moines, July 19.-Publishers
OF Iowa and Nebraska met here on
Tuesday afternoon and evening to
consult as to ways for meeting the
paper shortage, which has come to
be serious problem for all newspa-
pers. This shortage is general over
the country and all publishers are
facing the same proposition, not
alone an advance in price Of from so
to $50 per cent, but such q scarcity
as makes it difficult to get paper at
all.
Among the publishers at the con-
ference here were E. P. Adler of the
Davenport Times, D. w. Norris Of
the Marshalltown Times-Republican,
Is. G. Goldthwaite of the Boone
News-Republican, Messrs. Ashford of
the Cedar Rapids Republican and
Mr.. Miller of the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette; Lafayette Young of the Des
Moines Capital, w. G. Crounse Of the
Omaha World-Herald and c. c.
Rosewater Of The Omaha Bee.
Omaha Papers Pool Supply.
The situation was thoroughly dis
cussed, each publisher recounting re-
cent experiences. Mr.. Rosewater
told Of how the Omaha publishers
have found prices jumped from 2
cents per pound to as high as S cents
for paper purchased in carload lots;
how they have pooled on paper sup
ply, reduced the size of their papers
and how on a number of occasions
they have actually faced the likeli-
hood of being compelled to suspend
publication because of having no pa
per on hand.
E. P. Adler said the present paper
situation had forced him to a choice
between increasing his price for both
subscriptions and advertising or ceas-
ing to publish. The other publish
ers recounted similar experiences.
Formal action on conclusions
reached was deferred.
