THE PAPER SHORTAGE.
Pulp Wood Forests Exhausted in %
Years at Present Rate of Con
sumption.

Frank Munsey tells the Senate
print paper investigating committee.
that the pulp wood forests of the
world will be exhausted in 20 years
at the present rate of consumption.
Mr.. Munsey predicts that daily
papers will be costing five to ten
cents apiece before long. He favors
limiting Sunday issues to the same
size as those of the week day paper,
not more than "a pages. .-.....,
1t is preposterous for the big met
ropolitan newspapers to use up the
quantities of news print that they do
They turn out papers so bulky that
1t is nuisance to handle them. A
Sunday paper of more than SO pages
is awkward and unwieldy, and a
daily issue of more than "a is also
too large for comfortable reading
and handling.
These enormous metropolitan
sheets could be held down by a very
simple expedient, the increase Of adj
Vertising rates. The purpose of this
would not be to levy more money
out OF the merchants. Most of them
would probably devote about the
same appropriation as before 20 pub
licity, which would reduce advertis-
ing space pretty nearly one half.
Under this condition, a half page
space would look as conspicuous and
attract as much attention. as a full
page under present low rates. And
a single column would attract as
much attention as a double column
does now.
1t would seem to US that every
newspaper in the country ought to
double its advertising rates. If this
was done, newspapers would become
more compact and readable, less
costly to get out, and the news print
supply would become ample. It
would be for the benefit of everyone.
The lessened expense account would
help many struggling papers to get
on better basis and serve their
community more efficiently.
