confiscatory the war revenue bill pro-
vision which would create a zone sys-
tenn with greatly increased rates for

clared if the measure went into effect
many publications would be compell-
ed to suspend.
Would ParaIyze the Newspapers
Don c. Seitz, of the New York
World, representing the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
said the proposed increase was no. a
war tax, but an effort to further re-
press and ennbarrass the newspaper
industry" He told the committee
there already had been big slump
in business, which, if it continued.
would paralyze the newspapers. The
publishers, he added. were not seek
ing special favors, but wanted TO be
placed on the same level with people
engaged in other business.
Cannot Stand the Increase.
Arthur Dunn, speaking for the
smaller newspapers of the country,
said they could not stand the increase
in postal rates with the increased
cost of print paper and that nany
would be compelled to go out of bus
mess if the bill was enacted.
a similar view OF the SITUATION was
taken by Arthur J. Baldwin, Of New
York, vice president of the Associated
business Papers, Incorporated, and
representing 800 trade and business
periodicals.
Ruination for Magazines.
J. A. Moore Of New York, repre-
senting the Periodical Publishing As

would mean an added expenditure of
more than $3,700,0O0 in postage to
