into unexpected prominence both on

did that which marked the debut of
the now all but forgotten Teddy.

POSTAGE
RATES IN PROSPECT
Zone System Urged for Second Glass
Matter and One-Cent Rate for
Letters Congress to Act.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. 27.-The
ways are now being creased for the
launching of the movement for the re-
adjustment Of postal rates in the next
session Of congress. This problem was
to have been taken up in the last SEES
sion, but had to be deferred on account
of the consideration required by rail
way mail pay. Since this has been dis
posed of the committee is prepared to
take up the matter of placing the var
lous postal rates on a more equitable
basis.
a zone system of rates for second
class matter is being prominently urged
to take the place of the present fiat rate
which was adopted nearly 40 years ago.
The present rate has for some time been
regarded as a discrimination against
the newspapers in favor of the great
national magazines. Like the parcel
post, the proposed zone rates would he
based on the length of the haul.
The postal committees have been be-
sieged by petitions bearing millions of
names and several hundred thousand
letters from individuals urging a read
justment of postal rates with view Of
making possible one-cent letter postage
A survey of the situation also indicates
| that sufficient changes will be made in
the various rates to permit the granting
of one-cent rate on local delivery

Senate, said: 1.-The government is MAX
ing large profit from first class mail,
Just how much. it is hard to say, but it
must be nearly one cent Of every two
paid for each stamp on a letter. And
the profit derived on letters for delivery
IN the same city or town in which they
are mailed must be even greater. In
view of this condition, / believe that
congress should take mp the matter of
more equitably adjusting the rates of
postage,
Congressman Ernest W. Roberts of
Massachusetts, takes the stand that
ANY encouragement that can be ex-
tended business by the government
without injury to The individual. should
be done with as little delay as possible
Congress could greatly improve the sit
uation by reducing the rate of postage
from two cents to one cent on local de.
livery letters, without any drain on the
public eXchequer.''
Every patron of the postal service
will appreciate a one-cent rate on dror
letters because of the great benefit to
be derived by individuals, business es
adjustments, banks, churches, frater
mites, clubs, and in fact, all forms OF
business, social and domestic life,
said representative Joseph Walsh, OF
Massachusetts. And further, the reduc
ton will mean no falling off in rev
enues, as it is generally regarded that
the volume of mail will practically bt
doubled Immediately upon the installa
