The press of the state, principally
the country publisher, is facing a
crisis in growing scarcity of print
paper, not to mention a skyward
leap in the price of everything used
in his profession. The latter he can
partially overcome by an increase in
price Of what he has to sell, for ex-
ample, an advance in subscription
to So year, which does not any
where near cover the advance in the
price of paper, but he is truly up
against it in the matter of a paper
shortage. The situation is so seri-
Gus that temporary suspension Of
publication faces Some publishers,
and quite a number are contemplate
ing a reduction in the size of their
papers. The Morris Tribune offers
a unique reason for the shortage in
print paper. It's editor holds the
excess profits tax responsible Hun
dreds and thousands of the great in
dustrial corporations, the Tribune
editor says, have found that they
have to spend more money for ex-
penses or pay profits tax and ac-
cordingly they have been putting the
excess in advertising space. In con-
sequence the advertising pages of the
average publication have doubled
many times and the drain on the
paper manufacturers is beyond ca
pacity. Some of the articles adver-
tised, not to mention the abuse in
the way of space, are beyond the
comprehension Of the average person
so there must be something to what
the Morris publisher claims.
