Proposed Postal Rates
Would Put Newspapers
Clear Out of Business

New York, May 10 "The postal

return from Washington where he ap-
peared before the senate nance com
mittee.
"The proposed increases in rates to
range from 100 to 900 per
cent Tt is not revenue-producing or
property conserving measure, but a
that would destroy our
business and decrease the govern
ment's revenue.
"The cheap daily paper, the weekly
particularly the farm weekly and the
weekly operated in connection with the
daily, would be literally wiped out be.
tween the increased cost of white
paper and this arbitrary plan of rails

ask of the government, should this plar
go through, would be to let it so ad

takes the condition of things over there

some grumbling over the tangled state
of affairs in Washington; fears of ex-

There was much in the news OF the
dow which caused hesitation, such as
Retbmann- Hollweg's address in the
