The recent Inrrenne In suhsi-rip
tlon price and advertising rates of
itewspapers bus put publishers or
the defensive against the charge ol
being profiteers. The facts of tin
care Justify their defense. Tbcli
production cost, the principal ele
rWnts of which are wages and news
print, baa Increased In a greater pro
portion than that of almost an.
other Industry, says a prominent
eastern publication. A newspupei
requires the higbetit class of skillet.
labor, including not only Its bead
of depart ineiits, but also Its employ
ees in Its composing room, prem
room,, stereotyping and other de
partments. Its payrolls have re
cently been Increased by 25 per cent
to 60 per cent, or more. Without .
substantial Increase In Income thin
Increase In labor cost alone would
bankrupt most newspapers.
lint other Increases In cost have
to be met, which are peculiar to the
newspaper at the same time that
they are exceptionally heavy. Th
cost of postage has been Increased
to that extent that the average news
paper Is now delivered by mall Ite
yond the second ion? at a cost, In
some instances, at twice the sub
scription rate received; and man
newspapers have been compelled tt
cut off their country circulation
Aiost metropolitan newsiwpors an
now discouraging any extension of
country circulation, as against tht
previous persistent campaign for at
Increase In that field.

the newspaper, is tun l'edu ul in.

price of newsprint paper. Y illiii.

print in the paper market is inade
quate to supply the required extent
over couliiu-t quantities and at the
samo time to stiiply that great num
ber ot publishers who buy then
newsprint in the trutiKleiit market.
The result Is, that within tho past
ear transient prices fur newsprint
have gone to the present figure ol
$200 per ton, or over Coo per cent

and 2a0 per cent over the standard
contract price fixed In December.

judged by the (act that a metropoli

annual production cost by fi.'uo.POO

ted States. As polnled out by H 8
Kullngg, sicretary of the News Prim
Service II urea ii, U his discussion In
American Forestry, the present
shortage of paper is nut due to de
creased pioductlou, but to Increased
consumption, and with little pros
fcoct of relief lu the near future.
Increases In subscription and ad
vertlsiug rates are, therefore, com
pulsory. While such increases In
rates have not generally been any
whore near In proportion to the in
creased production '-osik, it is a mU
take to assume that the newspaper'
income Is Increased to the full ex
tent of its increase lu subscription
and advertising rates. A sulistau
tial part of the Increase, for Instance
In subscription rate, has to be di
vided with the carrier or other dis
tributor. An Increase in advertis
ing rates does not mean the same
percentage of Increase in Income,
either upon a normal or abnormal
amount of advertising published.
Every Increase In advertising space'
means more newsprint, more post
ge, more composition cost all ei
an enormously Increased basis.
Thore Is hardly a metropolitan
newspaper which la not. as lo many
or all of Ita Issues, rejecting adver
tlsements. even at the Inrreased ad
vertlslng rates. In order to keep Its
production cost, especially that of
its newsprint, within the limit of
Its financial resources.
increase In newspaper subscrip
tion and advertising rates is. there
fore, not a profiteering device on
the part or the publishers. It la a
liaceaiarr means of self-preservation.
