no doubt willing pay it's share in full of the tax

this that causes objection to the proposed of rates.
but inability The larger papers afford to pay it,
perhaps but the country press cannot The city papers
have far the larger part of their circulation in the cities
where published but this is the with the papers
in the class of the Capital Journal which have large
part of their circulation in the country adjacent to their
place of publication and on which they must pay postage
The net incomes would not be objected to- for it
is only right that newspapers should bear their portion
of the burden imposed by war conditions inns Would
place the newspapers on level with other business and
would be right The raising OF postage rates however
will not add much to the revenue received by the gov
enment for many of the papers will be put out OF bus
ness. One newspaper after studying the situation
in all its phases suggests the government take all the net
incomes of the papers, but still allow them to continue in
business and take of the going value OF their prop

and outfit that give newspaper its value but its estab
shed field the business and following it has built up
In other words it's going value With this taken away
it would be if the paper was forced to suspend publ
cation the principal value of the paper is destroyed The
government is making mistake If it forces this condi-
ton the press for needs the papers In its own bsl

citizens. For instance about this regstration how
would it go about notifying those required under the law
to appear the day set without the aid of the news

papers give freely The press the governments best

The application of the increased rates to the magazines
would not work such hardship for their business and
incomes would stand it without causing bankruptcy.
