URGE REPEAL OF NEW
ADVERTISING POSTAGE
Representatives Call Tax DE
structive Of Greatest Edu-
cational Factors"

NEW YORK Nov 2O.--The repeal OF
the section Of the war tax law increasing
postal rates on s.cond-class mail matter
was urged upon Congress In resolutions
adopted at meeting here OF the Rep
resentatives Club, an organizatio OF pub
fishers. The rates, which are to so Into
effect next July. were characterized Ia the
resolution as destructive Of one of the
greatest educational and industrial factors
In the country" Continuing, the resolution
says:
with the throttlii,e ~ the magazines by
tins law the industrial benefits OF the
manufacturing interests. through the ad-
VertiSing and selling opportunities, VIII
also he disastrut,ly affected.
John Adams Thaycr, secretary of the
Periodical Publishers Association, which
includes publications having II combined
circulation Of about $4,000 ,00O. IN an ad-
dress said the law will restrict circulations
TO such an extent that the Government will
suffer loss Of postal income instead OF
gaining an increase. He declared the pub
fishers are willing to agree TO any kind OF
proper tax. even to the extent Of confsca-
ton Of all their profits. but they see only
disaster in the present rate Increases Con-
tinung, he said:
The express companies advertise that
they will carry vegetables or other
produce from New York TO California for
four cents pound. but the new postal
rate viii exact ton cents "A pound tor the
advertising sections of periodicals be-
tween New York and the Pacific coast.
The rate increases range from so to 900
per cent.
Low postal rates for periodicals, IN,
Of the people. and the stand OF Congress for
low rates had already been founded on a
recognition of the educational force OF
periodicals."

Benner has secured n splendid lot OF birds
and that applies not only to the 1900

last night elected the information that
while a big crowd of buyers was expected,
and while it was admitted that a quantity
Of storage turkeys will be on the market
around the Thanksgiving season, the price
will run higher than last year This
means that families who will demand a
turkey which is known to be OF virginia
ancestry and known to be "A ''fresh-killed
bird" will have to pay the bill--at me rate
OF not less than thirty-eight cents per
pounds. and possibly forty-two to forty

the auction will. in all likelihood, go for
about twenty-nine TO thirty-onc cents per
pound wholesale and with normal over
