Notice TO Subscribers

On July l, the cost of newspaper post
age was materially advanced by the
postoffiee department, adding further
to the increasing cost of producing
newspaper cost that has been soaring
rapidly during the last two years. AL
most every month sees higher prices for
print paper, which now is almost double
what is was two years ago. All mater
ials and labor have increased in cost.
At the same time the publication and
circulation of war news, of the parti-
eipation of American forces, and of the
cooperation asked of the newspapers by
the government in the promotion of war
activities constitute duty and privi-
lege that every newspaper should be
glad of its opportunity to meet.
On Jan. l, 1918, the Idaho County
Free Press announced an increase of
approximately 20 percent in its adver-
Using rate, and this increased revenue,
in addition to cur growing business, has
enabled us to produce a newspaper
which we believe will compare favor
ably with newspapers printed in any
town the size of Grangeville.
Many weekly newspapers, the sub
seription price of which has been $3.50
a year, have, because of the increased
costs, been obliged to raise their sub
scription price to So year. This, we
should be reluctant to do for in this
era of high prices it is our hope to be
able to at least keep the subscription
price at the present low figure-$1.5O a
year, or less than cents a copy. 1t is
our desire to keep the cost of reading
matter as low as possible, but by this
statement, we do not mean that we are
in position to give the Free Press to
any whose name appears on our mail
ing list.
During the last nine months, the sub
scription list has been carefully revised,
and number of delinquent subscrib
ers have paid the sums they were in
arrears. Others, however, have failed
to heed the statements sent them
through the mails, yet they, accept the
newspaper from the postoffice, and read
it diligently.
Those subscribers who are prompt il.
of their subscription money !
have in the past also met the bill of
the man who ever neglected to pay |
for his paper. If costs Of production
were the same as two years ago, we
possibly could afford to permit this
condition to maintain. But we cannot |
do so today unless we raise the subscrip- |
ton price to So year and that would
be unfair to the man who pays his bills.
1t is unjust to also tax him to pay his
neighbours debts.
The Free Press during the last six
months has gained more than 100 sub
scribers. We have on our list not more
than 100 who are more than one year
in arrears. These we can afford to
lose.
This class of subscriptions we can no
longer carry. Those who are in arrears
will receive the Free Press during the
month of July, aud if they have not
met their obligations by August l,
their names will be stricken from our
mailing list, and the accounts listed for
collection. Free distribution of papers
in every form will be abolished.
