ROSEBURO. ORSQON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1825-
PROPOSED INCREASE IN POSTAL RATES.
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
