For th last few weeks congresa hat been confronted with a number or proposals ioi iuc ihhcto i B . .i i i i I and mixed up with these measures was the postal pay Dm, mum ted for the purpose of increasing the pay of post office em ployes, Tuesday congress sustained President Coolidge's veto of the postal bill, which practically eliminates this measure meeting with success during the present session. Also, it is quite unlikely that postal rates will be increased before congress adiourns. P rvl;l U maintained that in order to allow increases in the pay of post office employes that it would be necessary to find a new source of revenue in order to comply with the demand. In other words, the department is far from self sustaining and any increases in salaries would further add to the yearly deficit. So, it had been planned by the rrunda ot congress that second-class mail matter, which includes all news papers and other publications, should receive a penalty of over 65 per cent in a number of zones, while in, others the increase would be 1 00 per cent. Naturally, the newspaper men did not take kindly to this burdensome increase, and. the Sterling bill, which had been designed to "trim" newspaper publishers for a tremendous increase in their mailing rates, was made the center of attack. This bill would deprive the public of information. Only a few of the largest metropolitan newspapers can obtain and print the full texts of important public documents. If pos tal rates are made prohibitive, leaders of opinion in communi ties away from the larger cities who now subscribe for newspa pers will not be able to get such information. The senate committee might well re-read the message in which Woodrow Wilson vetoed a proposal for an increase in postal rates on magazines. He said : "It must be that those who are proposing this change of rates do not comprehend the effect it would have. A tax upon the business of the more widely circulated magazines and peri odicals would be a tax upon their means of living and perform ing their functions. "They obtain their circulation by their direct appeal to the popular thought. Their circulation attracts advertisers. Their advertisements enable them to pay their writers and to enlarge their enterprise and influence. "This proposed new postal rate would be a direct tax and a very serious one upon the formation and expression of opinion its more deliberate formation and expression just at a time when opinion is concerning itself actively and effectively with the deepest problems of our politics and our social life. "To make such a change now, whatever its intentions in the minds of those, who propose it, would be to attack and env barrass the free processes of opinion. Surely sober second thought will prevent any such mischievous blunder." Congress many year ago decided to grant free (within county) privileges to such newspapers. Whatever loss is sus tained in this way should properly be charged to postal over head or administration, on the ground that this was a public policy decided on by our lawmaking body. Instead, the loss is now Written down against second class matter, and the con clusions thus reached are used as a basis on which to increase rates. This looks like taking money out of the pockets of pub lishers who pay the full postal rates in order to make a gift to other publishers. It would be as logicnl to lump the Congression al Record and other fronked matter in with the second class. The commission has made a gratifying showing for the department . as to low overhead costs but will the method stand inspection? The representative of the American Newspaper Publishers' As sociation in Washington estimates that at least $64, 1 89, 1 08 has been wrongly allocated to second class matter. Sound judgment will similarly challenge the charging of so large a proportion of terminal expense to daily newspapers when I -the publishers themselves bear the cost of weighing, sacking,!
