on newspaper advertising on the fol-
lowing grounds:
l. The great increase in the cost of
all materials which enter into the man.
ufacture of newspapers has seriously
affected the tax-paying ability of the
newspaper industry.
2. A tax on gross income from adj
ivertising would be an unjust discrim-
nation. as it does not apply to other
Industrial enterprises. Newspapers now
pay the same tax as other industrial
corporations and will have to pay any
increase applying to them.

4. The newspaper press is one of the
most important and powerful weapons
of the government in the present war
and its strength should not be reduced
or its influence weakened by oppres-
sive and discriminatory taxes.
5. Instead Of being penalized, the co..
operation Of newspapers should be
sought by the government, which
should make the utmost possible use
Of newspaper publicity.

their full share of the financial bur-
den of the war, but they protest against

Supporting Government Loyalty.

The newspaper press has thrown its
full strength into cooperation with
THE government. 1t is one Of the most
important and powerful weapons Of the
government in the present war. but its
strength will be reduced and its influ-
imposed. The economic, political and
military importance of the press can
not be overestimated. The utmost pos
sible use Of newspaper publicity should
be made by the government consistent
with the successful conduct of the war
Newspaper cooperation should be util-
lied not only in connection with the
maintenance of morale at home. but in
no small way as part of the strategy
Of military operations abroad.
Newspapers have never been favored
with exemption from taxes. They have
proposed that newspapers be singled
out for special taxation. put in a class
apart from all other corporations and
property owners, and made to pay taxes
not levied upon other similar indus
tries. Anything which would reduce
the efficiency Of the newspaper press is
harmful to the public and injurious to
the constitutional liberty of the press.
Instead of being penalized. newspapers
should be encouraged to aid the gov
eminent as a most potent cooperative
force for the information and guidance
of public opinion.
Newspaper publishers expect and de-
sire to carry their full share Of the
financial burden Of the war They be-
lieve tax on net earnings. appIica BILE
to all business. corporate and private,
Is the fafrest form of taxation, and of
such tax each newspaper will carry
Its full load: but they register their
earnest protest against being singled
out for discriminating and confscatory
taxation.

indorses the action of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association as
follows:
1.-THE American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association, in meeting June IL
earnestly and emphatically protests
against a special discriminating war
tax in any form levied against the
newspaper business That business is
not war industry. 1t is at this time
bearing a very onerous and special bur-
den of expense due entirely to the war.
and it is making no profits, directly or
indirectly, out of the war.
On the contrary. the government IT.
self is relying on the newspapers. as
shown in the organization Of puhlicit:
in connection with the recent national
registration law, the liberty loan and
the Red Cross fund, for that cordial
and unreserved cooperation without
which 1.-THE issues of the war loan and
the national military registration could
not have been successfully achieved.
Such cooperation with the govern
ment the newspapers render. always
cheerfully and promptly and at their
own expense. and they expect and de-
sire in addition to bear their just bur-
den of taxation.
The newspapers recognize the need
of special war taxes. and they will pay
any rate of taxes that Congress finds
1t necessary to impose on all other le-
Ultimate and necessary business.
"As for the postal rates. they have
been based for generations on a public
policy that the diffusion of knowledge
and information in newspapers and Pc
riodicals was necessary to the unity
and welfare Of the nation. and there
fore ought to be encouraged by mod
crate postage rates. If this policy is
now. after more than half a century,
to be reversed. it should be done only
after full consideration and investiga-
ton; it should be done only in the pub
lie interest. and not in the guise Of a

Pay Extortionate Charges.

Few Industries have been affected by
the war more disadvantageously than
that Of publishing newspapers. There
has been q great increase in the cost
of all materials which enter into their
manufacture. Especially has this
been SO in the case Of print paper
The high price paid by newspapers for
paper makes immense excess profits for
the mills. so that newspapers already
are paying increased taxes in the
form Of extortionate contributions to
the profits Of paper manufacturers.
Investigation by the federal govern
ment resulted in the condemnation of
the acts Of print paper manufacturers
and the determination by the federal
trade commission that the price
charged was unreasonable.
Newspapers at present pay a tax of
2 per cent on their corporation income
They will pay their proportionate share
Of whatever additional tax may be lev
led on business or the profits Of bust
ness. They contend for a tax on profits,
not on their efforts. 1t is now proposed.
however. to place a tax of per cent
on the gross income from advertising,
which is the principal source Of reve-
nue.. This would be more than a double
tax. in some cases representing Is to
20 per cent on net earnings, and in a
great many cases the tax would much
exceed the net earnings of the news
paper business. 1t is probable that a
taxation burden so great Is not con-
templated by Congress in the case of
any other line Of business.

The girls are on record as fav- bring the utmost economy and are de- termined to campaign against all un- necessary extravaganza.
 They decided that one simple white dress, made of plain and cheap mater ial, would do for all of the commence ment functions, including class day. class banquet and graduation exer- cises.
