A PLAIN H0LDUP
Deal to Close
Mails to Newspapers.
Would Cut OFF Farmers From
Daily News, Is Claim.

Washington. May 14-Newspaper
publishers were here today to protest
to the senate finance committee
against the increase in second class
mail rates by application of the par
eel post zone system proposed by the
$1,SOO.000,0 war tax bill.
The committee also considered the
measures provisions for stamp and
estate and inheritance taxes to which
there were many objections. The
house resumed debate on the bill and
leaders hoped for its passage early in
the week.
A statement prepared by a COM
mittee of the American Newspaper
Publishers association headed by Don
c. Seitz of the New York World, said
the proposed postal increase was
'cold-blooded proposition to close the
mails to newspapers" and would result
in so much loss in circulation, espe-
cially among farmers that postal in
carrier system would entail a loss
even greater than at present.
The newspapers are ready to meet
a real, honest tax said the statement,
even to the point of presenting the
government with all profits, provided
other lines of business are asked to do
the same, but if it is the purpose of
the government to establish non-com-
petitiVe, as-we-please, charge-as-
we-please postoffice monopoly, it is
d1I1lcl1iI 10 see why the sherman law
shoJ1fd he affewed 20 stand or why we
should speak disparagingly of Prus-
sianism."
Increase Tax 500 Per Cent.
1.-The proposed Increase the state
ment says, lis not a war tax, but an
effort to suppress and embarrass the
newspaper industry. The rate pro-
posed is an increase of from 100 to 500
per cent, an increase beyond prece-
dent.
The newspaper business today is
the most heavily loaded in the coun-
try. 1t pays the highest wages. enjoys
no form of protection, sells it's product
at the lowest cost our coinage will
permit and always at a fixed price
1T is the studied policy of the post
office department and its employees to

statement.
