The Maine Daily Publishers Associ-
alton held its annual meeting Wednes-
day at the Augusta House and elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year:

Journal, Biddeford; vice president,
Charles F. Flynt Of the Kennebec

The following expression of opinion
in regard to second class postage was
adopted by unanimous vote of the AS
Sociation:
The Maine Daily Publishers Asso-
citation, at meeting held at Augusta,
January 8, 1918, expresses dissatisfac-
ton with and disapproval Of the sec
ond class postage rates which are to
go into effect on July l. 1918, believing
these rates are unjust and unfair to
the newspaper publishers Of this State.
We believe the present law should
be changed and that a more just rate

Information obtained from the
Postoffice Department gives the follow
ing figures as the cost of transporta-
ton of second class matter within a
zone of 500 miles:
LIST zone, 50 miles Il 1-3c per 100 lbs
I'd zone, 100 miles, 40 Lie per 100 lbs.
Sd zone, 300 miles, Use per 100 lbs.
making the average cost for the first
two zones 29c per 100 lbs. and for the
three zones 10 Lie.
I'VE therefore earnestly urge our
representatives in Congress to use
their best efforts to secure the enact
mcnt Of a law fixing a postal rate OF
the zone plan, limiting the rate to one
cent per lb. for the first three hundred
miles. increasing the rate beyond tha
distance in keeping with the increased

cause the bride be was out of town.

WASHINGTON. September Ito
correct the impression which prevails
In some quarters that the United States
railroad administration is, or has been
withholding the standard rentals due
to the various railroads under it's con-
troll pending the execution Of operatr
ing contracts. Dircctor-G eneralTMoAdoo
to-day announced that rentals paid to
these railroads for the first eight
months of the year amounted to ap-
proximately $3.50, 100000. The allega-
ton, therefore. that the omission Of any
railroad corporation to settle its debts
or claims against 1T is due to tho fall
ure of the government to pay up is
unfounded.
.The fact is," says the director-gen-
eral, that the equivalent Of the stand
ard rentals already very largely has
United States under government con-
troll. In many cases the director-gen-
eral, in addition to paying these roads
an amount equal 70 30 per eeno on shei in
advance of the execution of contracts

der the railroad acD. has advanced
large additional sums of money to the
railroad corporations to enable them
TO meet maturing bond issues which
they and their financial agents were

provide for, and to pay large sums for
new equipment and betterments."
From the statement published by Mr..
S1cAdoo, 1t appears that the director
general has disbursed to the railroads
over and above all current expenses
OF operation between SS00,000,000 and
100000. 600. These payments have been
met out of earnings of the railroad
properties since January 1 and from
current balances taken over on Janu-
ary l.. 1913. and from the Treasury's
rector-general also has advanced. on
account of orders placed by him for To-
comotives and cars now under con-
$40.
