It, but says that the primary object of I
the order In question Is to correct two
great abuses of the second-class mail
ing privileges which have resulted
from the carrying of expired subscrip
tions for Indefinite periods and from
the old 100 per cent samply copy
privilege that Is for every copy of
the paper sent to a subscriber, the
publisher under the old regulations.
was allowed to mail a sample copy at
the second-class postal rate of one
cent per pound.
The essential feature of the new
regulations, air. Lawshe states, fix a
reasonable limit for the carrying of
expired subscriptions and reduce the
sample copy privileges to 10 per cent
of the mailings of publications, in his
opinion, will not work any real hard-
ships upon legitimate publishers, but
on the contrary, will bring many ben
eficial results.
The postofflce department has re
cently completed a thorough weighing
of all classes of mall matter ' trans
mitted by It, and from these weighings
has been able to arrive at a correct
estimate of the cost and revenue of
each classification of mall.
The estimate shows that 67 per
cent of all mall carried Is second-class
matter, and from this 67 per cent only
4 per cent of the revenues of the en
tire postofflce department Is obtained.
The estimate shows that for transmit
ting first-class mall matter letters
and sealed articles the department
receives 84 cents per pound.
For merchandise it receives 18 cents
per pound. For publications not en- I
titled to second-class mall privileges,1
it receives 9 cents per pound, and for
second-class matter, 1. e., newspapers
and other periodical publications, it
receives 1 cent per pound.
The new regulations, when Issued,
provided that they should go Into ef
fect on January 1, 1908; later it was
decided to postpone the date until
April 1, 1908, and on this date the
department will put the regulations
Into force.
Rules Are Reasonable.
The rule In reference to the renewal
of subscriptions is as follows:
"A reasonable time will be allowed
publishers to secure renewals of sub
scrlpttons, but unless subscriptions
are expressly renewed after the term
for which they are paid, within the
following periods:
Dallies, within three months. -
Trl-weeklles, within six months.
Weeklies, within one year.
Semi-monthlies, within six months.
Bi-monthlies, within six months.
Quarterlies, within six months.
They shall not be counted In the le
gitimate list of subscribers, and copies
mailed on account thereof shall not
be accepted for mailing at the secon--!
class postage rate or one cent for each
four ounces or fraction thereof, pre
paid by stamps affixed. The right of
a publisher to extend credit for sub
scriptions to his publication Is not de
nied or questioned, but his compliance
or non-compliance with the regulation
