ditions At home.
A resolution was adopted unani.
mously by the American Newspaper
Publishers Association while in con.
vention in New York City condemn.
ing the law as unfair and oppressive
to the newspapers OF the country.
After the subject had been debated
throughout the day orders were given
to have the resolution printed and
sent both by telegram and letter to
every senator and representative in
Washington. 1t follows:
Whereas, the postal provisions Of
Section ll0l OF the Act OF Congress
approved October 3. 1917, and which
Is TO take effect July /, 1918, will be
unavoidable in practice and will be
most unfair and oppressive to the
newspapers OF the country and the
reading public.
BE it resolved by the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
that congress. If insistent upon legis
lation OF this character be urgently
requested to modify said law insofar
as 1t applies to the newspapers, along
the general lines as proposed by the
McKeller amendment, or if the time
be considered by congress too short
TO do this, that congress be urgently
requested to suspend the provisions
OF said law, insofar as it applies to
newspapers. until a complete and in.
telligent investigation can be made of
the subject OF newspaper postage"
Following the adoption of this reso-
luton, the Southern Newspaper Pub,
fishers, in session, and the Inland
Daily Press Association, likewise
adopted it as their unanimous opin.
| ion.
The attitude Of thousands of rep.
resentative citizens is aptIy expressed
in recent statement made by the
Hon. James Withycombc, governor of
Oregon. His statement follows:
IF it is true that the operation of
the new postal zone law will make
the broad distribution OF magazines
and periodicals prohibitive to rural
residents. particularly it would be
well for the constituted authorities
10 consider the probable effect of the
law seriously and deliberately before
1t is put in effect on July l.
ITO my mind it would not be wise
at this time to discourage unduIy the
circulation of good literature. First
OF all, the nation is passing through
an epoch making period. and the
many issues which are now before the
people are of such Importance that q
iuII understanding of all questions
ana events is highly desirable.
i realize that am not in a position
to appreciate fully the demands for
increased revenue at this time. but I
honestly feel that it would be wise 70
weigh carefully the detrimental effect
that is certain to result from n cur.
tallment OF periodical distribution be-
lore placing too great an additional
assessment upon publicity agencies. -"

is universally hailed with gratitude
