Periodical Defcit Less

Senator Weeks denied the oft-repeated
statement that the government carries

great industry is laboring under serious
embarrassments peculiar to itself

day by Senator Hardwick. 1t would leave
the present cent-a-pound rate on news
portions Of publications, but beginning
July I, 1913. would increase to two in
stead of three cents that on advertising
portions, make it four cents on July I,
1915, and six cents in 1920 and eight cents
thereafter.
