POSTAL RATES ON PAPERS
AN UNDUE BURDEN, CLAIM

Atlanta, Ga.-With the newspapers
of the country gradually weaning
away from use of the postal service
there is danger of still more defec-
tions If the United States government
continues to raise rates on second
class mail matter, according to brief
by the Southern Newspaper Publish
ers' association, prepared for presen-
tation to the joint postal committee
Of congress.
The brief takes exception to be-
lief that the postal service should be
Rather, it points
out, the rates should be based on
what will the traffic bear -
The traffic to newspapers. 1T says,
has already almost reached the break
ing point. ''Many newspapers deliver
their entire editions in the cities and
nearby towns by their own service
for one of these two reasons: More
prompt delivery service, or less cost, +
the brief claims.
"We maintain that even the present
basis of ssecond-class rates is I'M
reasonably high. We strongly pro-
test against adjustments that would
increase these rates and urge that the
Investigations Of your committee will
be such as to prove to you the adj
visibility Of the restoration of the
rates Gu second-class matter that were
in effect in 1920, after the second adj
vance of the war revenue act, which
are the some rates that were advo-
Gated by Senator George at the last
session Of congress" concluded the
brief.
Going back to the formation Of the
postal service the brief points out that
it was instituted primarily for the
Transportation of letters or first class
mail and that other classes thereafter
are to be regarded as by-products.
Taking up the cost-finding report,
the brief contends that the auditors
charged against the second-class mat
ter items that properly should not
have been charged against it, and
asks an entire revision Of these
charges in order to reflect Q true
charge against that class. This II
contends, is necessary to obtain flg-
ures which may reliably be used for
the purpose of making rates.

her own car and accompanied by sew

it failed to function and the car back

ITIONS TO HELP RIVER MEET

The first move in Pima county to-

a Sufficient fund to pay the expense
of the Colorado river tri-state confer
ence, in the event that it cannot be
paid from public funds, was made
with an offer by Frank NJ. Mccarthy,

share. He suggested that steps be
taken by those wishing to see the
conference held to appoint a commit
tee or select some organization to han
die the funds.
Mccarthy expressed his opinion
that although $4,000 may be available
from the residue Of the operating ex-
penses Of the legislature. it would be
best to raise a separate fund insthe
event that litigation by opponents OF
the conference ties up the funds.

 BIG FUTURE ABROAD
Conditions in Germany Regarded as Especially Good by
 John N. Willys,

Berlin, Aug. 24 P-Germany shows signs of increasing stability that warrants business confidence, says John N. Willys, of Cleveland, chairman of the foreign trade com mittee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. He has just concluded a study of the economic conditions of Germany.
 "The efforts which are being made towards the readjustment of business to normal conditions will do much to remove the uncertainty now surrounding the enterprise be- cause of the prevailing restrictions on trade between Germany and other countries" Mir. Willys stated.
 He believes that the abrogation of these postwar impedments will stimulate free commerce especially between Germany and the United States. The German officials, he said. were sincerely endeavoring to bring about an improvement in the trading conditions between both countries. AS result of informal conversations between the Ameri- can motor interests and official German circles it Is believed that liberal increase in the present im- port quota for American cars will shortly be decreed.

 Among the corporations the larg- est return was filed by the Swedish tobacco monopoly, showing an in- come of $5,4G2,424. This, however, was a decrease from the previous year. The next largest returns were filed by the Swedish Match corpora ton and tn Swedish liquor monop- oly,
