 All speakers urged that the newsprint problem be met by reducing circulation If necessary and the raising of prices of le- gitimate advertising to such figures which will bring a reasonable profit to the publishers after meeting all costs. This problem was discussed under the subject of "The Newsprint Problem and How to Solve It." And omit papers were read by Frank H. Miller of Montgomery, Charles Greer of Sylacauga and Mrs. J. R. Rosson of Cullman.
 Newspaper and free propaganda proo- ably received the greatest attention anu all speakers urged that newspapers in the future decline to carry, in their news

 Among those who read papers or dis cussed this subject were c. w. Hare or Tuskegee, J. c. Harrison of Montgomery and Edward Doty of Tuscaloosa.
 Before the association ends it probably will take definite action toward an agree ment whereby all propaganda will be eliminated a cost system installed which will tell the publishers whether or not profit is being made, and an understand-
 ing reached for increases in advertising rates which will care for the rapidly ris- ing prices of newsprint and other things required in publishing newspapers About seventy-five editors were present at the first session. In the absence of Governor Kilby, who is inspecting all state convict
 camps and attending the commencements of the ctates institutions of higher learn ing, Chief Justice John c. Anderson of the supreme court delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the state.
