Monday the zone postal system
became" effective. This is provis-
ion of the revenue law which in
crcases the mailing costs Of news
papers and magazines. Supposedly
IL is designed 10 bring more money
to the Government. II will not do
il. Instead. II will eventually re-
duc- the revenue.
One of the inevitable results of
this zone system will be to reduce
the number of new wspapers and mag
azines A great many newspapers
have suspended since the war start
ed. In fourteen Michigan cities. for
example. where formerly thtre were
fOrtythree newspapers there are
now but twenty-thrce. That may be
an extreme case. However. news
paper suspensions have not been
restricted to any section of the cOun-
try. From Boston to San Francisco
newspapers have been dying The
small country weekly and the big
metropolitan daily have persisted. In
the big city field the death has been
accomplished by consolidation rath-
or than suspension. The result. so
far rs revenue production is con-
ccrned. is much the same
With the incredibly heavier bur
dcnS imposed by the zone system
the doath-rate will be- accelerated
Further. publishers will be compell-
ed to limit their circulation: Ia
abandon distant zones because of
the prohibiiive tax They will also
be compelled to try out other plans
of distribution. They will hav" Ia
curtail their business. Many Of them
will die.

system is Chairman kitChiH OF the
