PROSECUTING THE PERIODICALS
(American Printer)

|
One of the most significant things
brought out by the proposed increase
in second class postage rates is a lit
tie circular which is being distributed
over the country at this time. This
circular, with its unanswerable argu-
ment, is entitled Prosecuting the
Periodicals" and attention is called TO
the fact that periodical publishers are
paying all the war taxes paid by other
manufacturers and in addition to this
lit is now proposed to raise their
| freight rates from so to 800 per cent.
Attention is called TO the fact that a
Is per cent increase in freight rates
to manufacturers generally has been
causing great concern and kept the
federal interstate commerce commits
sion in serious hesitation for months
whereas periodical publishers have
had their freight rates boosted from
sc to 900 per cent and the bill has
been rushed through as though of no
practical Importance.
If this tax is imposed says the cir
cular, it will mean the ruination of a
great number Of periodicals, some of
the results of which will be that by
shutting off farm publications the
productive power of the country will
be decreased millions of dollars, while
stoppage of the trade publications will
| decrease the manufacturing power
many millions more, and so on down
through the line of the various class
publications, all of which are per-
| forming vital educational work
AS a closing argument statistics are
given showing that express rates on
perishable merchandise which must be
shipped in special cars and packed in
certain manner and kept on ice
can be sent much cheaper than publ
cations which can be tied up, thrown
into mail sacks and tossed into the
corner of any kind of conveyance
that will hold them.
1t is shown that butter and chick
ems can be sent from Ohio to New
York City for ga cents a pound,
whereas periodicals are to be charged
5 cents. Eggs or chickens from Indi-
ana to New York, 3la cents pound,
periodicals. cents; Wisconsin to New
York, 39 cents per pound periodicals,
6 cents; Arkansas to New York, nuts,
4.6 cents per pound, periodicals, Z
cents; Texas to New York. nuts, SO
cents, periodicals, cents; Seattle,
Wash, to New York, fresh fish packed
in ice, 7 cents per pound, periodicals,
10 cents.
Yet the express companies are MAX
ing a substantial profit on these
charges, while the reader who hap
pens to live in place remote from a
publishing center is penalized on this
account. All readers are requested to
write to their congressman demand
ing repeal of this absurd measure

Food and Fuel Supplies
Are Short in Many
European Countries.

A Swiss commercial paper states
that there is great shortage of coal
of all kinds, an insufficient supply Of
wood for fuel, and small reserves in
oils and grease throughout Switzer-
land. Fresh eggs have disappeared
from the market. Dry vegetables are
becoming more scarce. A project to
manufacture flour from potatoes had
to be abandoned because insufficient
supplies of potatoes could not be Sc
cured.
In Holland coal and coke prices have
been advanced. In American terms,
the maximum price for anthracite is
about $22 a ton; coke, $40 a ton; coal
briquets, $25 a ton. Distribution Is
carefully regulated by cards, in speci-
fed quantities. The amount allowed,
especially to residences, is much
smaller than in peace times.
New French food regulations forbid
eating houses to serve or consume
in the preparation of food. Curdled or
sour milk is prohibited as well as
cream and specified kinds of cheese.
The making of pastries, biscuits and
confectionery is prohibited. Only in
dining cars, canteens and railroad re-
freshment stations may fresh or con-
dersed milk or cream be served after
9 in the morning by itself or mixed
with coffee, tea, or other preparation
No solid foods may be served between
9 and II in the morning and between
80 and $3.50 in the evening. When
the price of a meal exceeds $1.20 the
customer may be served with not
more than two dishes with or without
vegetables, or more than one small
loaf of ordinary bread. The bread is
limited to about ~ ounces. All the
grain which may be used for bread
making is reserved for human food.
