PROTESTS THE RATE
ON 2D-CLASS MAIL
Victor RoseWater BIames 1t
for $500 Newspaper
Suspensions.

Present excessive and onerous"
postal rates on second-class mail were
blamed as the main factor" for the
| suspension of $500 newspapers since
| Omaha. Neb.. appearing today before
! the House post office committee for
| the American Newspaper Publishers
| Association. He urged that Congress
enact a bill reducing existing mail
| charges and providing for appoint
ment of a congressional committee TO
learn the cost of the mail service TOT
publications and to determine the
principles of the mail charges.
Bill Supported by Associntfon.
The bill, which Mr. Rosewater said
was supported by his association.
would charge the rates in effect from
July 1, 1918. to July l. 1919. These
rates, beginning at IN cents pound
for the first parcel post zone and
increasing Y cent a pound for each
additional zone. were the nrSt OF 1our
annual increases ordered by Congress
in 1917, when the rate was 1 cent
pound.
The second increase. now in effect.
and two others yet to come. would
be discarded under the publishers
bill.
Representatives Of the Southern
Publishers Association and the Pc
riodical Publishers Association also
appeared before the committee.
Enactment of the publishers bill.
Mr.. Rosewater argued, would not
cause the Post Office Department to
operate the second-class mail service
at a loss.
This bill would provide $4,000. 900
more a year than under the old fiat
one-cent-a-pound basis" declared Mr..
Rosewater.
Denies Loss by Government.
Statements of committeeman that
the Post Office Department estimated
year on the old rate were denied by Mr..
Rosewater, who said the loss was
purely a bookkeeping figure. that
includes $5S,000,0 900 lost on rural free
delivery" Unable to give actual fig
ures regarding the cost of the service.
Mr.. Rosewater said his denial of the
loss of $70.000.000 was like some post
Office guesses, but "based on some in
formation"
Answering committeeman who said
they had received letters from pub
fishers approving the present law, Mr..
Rosewater said: ''Some papers that
pay practically no postage are in
favor of letting the law stand" He
added that he believed the approval
Of some of these small publishers was
due to their belief that if the present
law were discar rded the postage rate
would be placed on a fiat cents
pound.

OF Mines, and other leading institu-
tions. Others have received their
training in such great industrial
corporations as the General Elec.

Company. the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. and SO on.
All students enrolled in the
Marine Institute courses receive
their tnstrpction on an average Of
three hours for i've afternoons each
week. all purely military training
being confined to the morning
hours. The evenings may be
devoted to study. reading, or the
various camp recreations, such az
the free movie shows or the pool
tables.
We hear a great deal about "col.
lege life" but it is extremely
doubtful If any Of our institutions
OF learning afford more opportu.
nifty for pleasant companionshiu
with real good fellows than does
the Marine Corps. For this branch
OF service attracts the sort OF q
man who has the makines Of a

offer any better facilities for base

and other athletic sports-all under
the direction Of competent trainers
and coaches. And no school. unless
It is a military institution Of tho

Corps in giving = man that self

leadership which military training
affords.
If you are even slightly inter.
ested, don't hesitate to eall at q

To Discuss July 4 Celebration.

A mass meeting of the citizens of the
community is called for Wednesday eve
ming, April "A, at Seminary hall for the
purpose Of deciding whether a July 4
celebration shall be held in this village
and if 50 to make plans, appoint commit
tees, etc.
The only way in which such celebra-
ton could be made complete success
would be by the interest and co-opera
ton OF every person in town, and all
should be present to talk the matter
over ard express their views. 1t seems
Ito be the general idea that the proceeds
from such a day should be used toward
furnishing the new town hall. The con
tractor William Cushman. has stated
that. although the work on the building
has been held up by railroad conditions
etc. he expects to have it completed be-
fore July ! unless some thing unforeseen
t happens.
