'PUBL|SHERSSEEK
LOWER MAIL RATE
Delegates Tell Coolidge Pres
ent Charges Have Cut
Newspaper Volume.

President Coolidge today received a
delegation of representatives OF the
American Newspapers Publishers AS
Sociation, who called regarding pro
posed legislation to change the pres
ent postal rates. They pointed out
that while the newspapers OF the
country are anxious for some reiel
in the matter of rates, they nave no
desire to delay adjournment of Con
cress. They are demanding. however
that if there is to be any postal rates
legislation this session, the news
papers be heard on rates in certain
classes affecting their industry.
The delegation told the President
that the records of the Post Office De
partment show that the newspaper
mail. which pays the full second class
rate, is not only smaller In volume 10
day than it was in 1920, but that II Is
smaller in volume now than II was IN
1912. Also, the records show further.
this class of mail is the only class
whose volume has been curtailed over
a period of years by reason of in
creased rates.
Far Above 1920 Rates.
The present rates range from 125
to 600 per cent higher than the rates
which were in effect prior to 1920.
The 1870 rates, Whlcn puDllSneTS are
advocating, are from 80 to 300 per
cent higher than the old fiat rates. ac-
cording to the distance of distribu'
ton.
1t was pointed out to the President
that the newspapers are paying on an
average $1.55 per 100 pounds for this
class of mail, while the Government
is paying railroads but Il cents

seeing the President. that it will see
the Republican leaders Of both the
House and Senate before leaving

g. petition sent to the judiciary COM
mittee last year, but an identical com
,munication addressed last week to the
Speaker of the House was referred to
the judiciary committee for action and
a subsequent report TO the House.
All Of the allegations in the affidavit
relate to Meekins' activities before
going to the bench. with the argu-
ment in the petition that man
guilty of such acts is not fit" to try
others for similar offenseS.
The affidavit accused Meekins of
acting as tax fixer" in adjustments
in filing of returns through "infiu-
ence with David II. Blair, commits
sioner of internal revenue, and other
leaders," and of having a voting in
terest in a chemical company when

PATRONAGE ROW
I HEARINGS OPENED
Subcommittee to Study Two
Measures Growing Out of
Southern Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

bS tue AssOClateU Rre6S.
Outcries from various parts of the
South against alleged corruption of
Federal patronage have stirred Con
gress to action.
The House judiciary committee yes
terday appointed a subcommittee to
conduct hearings on two measures
designed to disclose present practices
and prevent fraud and barter of Fed
eral appointments in the future.
This action followed an appeal be-
fore the committee by Representative
Busby. Democrat, Mississippi. for an
inquiry into rotten" conditions in his
State for which he held President
Coolidge responsible in a recent speech
in the House.
The judiciary committee, which last
week reported bill by Representative
Wurzbach, Republican. Texas. to re-
quire Federal appointees to file. within
80 days after taking office. an affidavit
that they have given or received no
financial assistance. yesterday order
d hearings on a regulation by Repre-
sentative Stevenson, Democrat. South
Carolina, making it unlawful to re-
ceive anything Of value ''in pay for
promise 20 support" and a measure
by Mr.. Busby calling upon the Justice
and Post Office Departments for re-
ports by inspectors on alleged patron
age evils in Mississippi.
Mr.. Busby described his resolution
as a means of disclosure to be used as
Il basis for remedial legislation pro-
posed by the other two Southern mem
bers. The Mississippian, in two recent
speeches in the House. charged the
Republican party with allowing Perry
W. Ward. negro official of the JUS
tice Department. to sell patronage in
that State to the highest bidder.
Mr.. WurZbach. the lone Texas Re
publican in Congress, launched the
move with an attack upon Republican
control of patronage in his State.
