FACTS FROM A REPORT

rbe Federal Trade Commission
! announcing from WASHINGTON 'h'
act;cal completion of its lnVeSt''
<.t;on Of news print paper prices
S-clares that before making l''
spal report public another oppol'
,,,nitv will be given paper manu-

d be heard.
However. the commission makes
AS significant statement, devel'
oDed from its investigation That
|dnrine the first half of this year
wben prices we're soaring to un'
urecedented figures, the average
cost of producing news print paper
ii domestic mills was less than
s1.65 per 100 pounds, or below the
average cost in the past three
Years"
The commission found that the
Gemand for news print paper dur
~ the first half of this year was
heater than during any other per-
Nm for the past three years, but
nlso found That the quantity OF
news print paper produced by the
domestic manufacturers in the first
kalf of 1916 was somewhat greater
than in any preceding halt year
since 1918, the increase in produc-
lion being accomplished by running
mills to full capacity, recently most
mills having been operated "a hours
Der day for six days per week"
Here is another significant state
nent from the preliminary report
Of the commission; The quantity
of news print paper imported, which
came chiefly from Canada, equaled
about one.third Of the domestic
production, and showed a great in
Grease in the first half of 1916"
Thus we have these facts:
1t cost less to produce news print
paper in the first half of 1915 than
in any similar period for three
years.
A greater amount Of news print
paper was produced in the first
half Of 1915 than in any similar
period for three years.
The amount OF news print paper
coming in from Canada in the first
half of 1916 was greatly increased
over former similar periods, about
one-third as much paper coming in
from Canada as was manufactured
in this country.
And yet
THE PRICE OF NEWS PRINT
PAPER HAS ADVANCED MORE
THAN THREE HUNDRED PER
CENT.
Why has this advance occurredY
Just because it has.
What is the best reason for this
increase in the cost of news print
paperY
Simply that newspapers have tc
use the paper,
1t might be said in passing tha,
the increased cost Of news prin,
paper is somewhat of a sorry trib'
ute to the efficiency of the anti
trust laws of the country, which w

Just before the election it was
charged that $4,000 negroes were
sent from the South into Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois to participate in
the election. This statement came
from the Department of Justice at
