Zone System for News
paper Mail.

Washington, d. CA zone sys
tenn of rates for second-class mat
ter, which is expected greatly tc
increase the charges for magazines
and other periodicals having ma
ton wide circulation, and one cent
postage for local first class mail
deliveries, are provided for in the
annual post office appropriation
bill, as virtually completed by the
house post office committee.
The zone proposal for handling
{ newspapers and magazines, which
now pay q flat rate Of one cent a
pound, is regarded as one of the
most radical changes in postal
rates in years.
1t divides the country into eight
zones, with rates chargeable rang
ing from one cent for 300 miles, to
six cents for 1900 miles or more.
The bulk of daily newspapers, the
committee believes, will not be
affected, because they do not Cir
culate beyond a 300 mile radius.
The provision follows:
THAT all newspapers, maya
zines and other publications regu-
Iarly admitted to the mails as mat
ter of the second class, when
mailed by the publisher, shall
hereafter be subject to the follow
ing rates of postage, the zone sys-
tenn now applying to parcel post
matter to be adapted also to second
class matter:
Local, first, second and third
zone (under 300 miles, 1 cent per
pound.
Fourth zone 600 to 900 miles,
2 cents per pound.
Fifth zone $500 to 1000 miles,
9 cents per pound.
''Sixth zone $1,000 to 1 400 miles,
4 cents per pound.
'Seventh zone l,40O to 1880
miles) ceuts per pound.
'Provided that free-in-county
circulation provided by law shall
continue as at present.
''The postmaster general shall
have authority to require publish
ers to separate their mail into
zones when offered for mailing"
