BRILLIANT SCHEME.

The democrats are getting up
one of their brilliant schemes to
help the dear people. They are
now headed for one cent postage
on lei ters. This is all right in it.
self, but the scheme is to gain it
at the expense of the newspapers
and especially the magazines.
The rate on newspapers IS now
one cent a pound to anywhere in
the United States, with the fur
Their distinction that country
newspapers are free in their home
county except for sample copies.
The proposition is to make rates on
newspapers from one cent a
pound up to six cents and to di-
vide the country into zones same
as for parcel post. This in addi-
ton to more than doubling the
postage on country newspapers
would make it necessary for them
to assert their mail for the diff
ferent zones so as to know what
postage to pay on the edition. In
this event if we had one paper
addressed to the sixth zone it
would require six cents to mail it.
Consequently every time we re-
ceived a subscription we would
have to figure on the amount of
postage we would have to pay.
If subscriber wanted to pay in
advance he would have to write
US first to find out what amount
to send us. Likewise we would
have to look over our lists and see
if there were any others in the
same zone getting the paper so as
to prorate the postage, or other
wise we would have to charge |
him the full rate for the zone
which would be unjust to him and
costly. The postage for a year
on one copy Of the News to the
sixth zone would be So. IL. If the
second zone was established at
two cents per pound it would be
81 04 for one copy, but o. course
more papers would 60 into that
zone because it was nearer and
The postage per copy would be
ess. The News now goes into
about two-thirds of the states of
he Union and this sorting job by
zones would be an interesting
If the democratic
,atty has a spite against the
magazines to wreak why does 1t
lot make a law especially against !
hem. The claim of the origin
tors of the bill is that it is pro-
,osed primarily to make the
magazines pay the cost of cheap
r postage on letters.

The publisher of a newspaper
has one thing to sell and one thing

to sell and the space in his col

other? He can. if he so choose.
and he does as a matter of fact,
furnish a great deal Of space rent
free. But it does not follow that
he ought to be expected to do so.
