Given to the Government

It would be absolutely impossible for any newspaper
even the smallest weekly to figure out the cost TO OF
the free advertising given to the general and
its various branches during the past eighteen months
This advertising cheerfuly given and aside from
the advertising, much patriotic work was put upon the
shoulders of the newspaper men, which also was cheer
fully performed
The necessities of government were fully recog
nized by the papers and they periodically responded to
its every call.
But while this going Congress and the various
agencies have not been consderate OF the
interests of the papers
To mention one example, take the postage law put
on the books last year. While this intended prmar
y to reach some magazines which sent out large bulk
of mail to very distant addresses, it also put more eX
pense and lot work to comply with the law upon
every newspaper in the land.
And this law passed right at the time when the
government making its heaviest demands upon the
generosity of the papers.
We have been hoping this thing would cease but one
mail for the week does not show any decreasen the de-
