Arthur Wallace Dunn writing from Washington says there is no doubt that an effort will be made in con gress to increase the rate on second class mall matter. That rate Is now 1 cent a pound, and It Is alleged by the post office department that car rying the newspapers and periodicals of tne country at that rate causes a net loss of $64,000,000 a year. These figures, however, have evoked deris ive comment In well-Informed con gressional circles. The house postofflce committee is going to hold hearings some time this month for the purpose of ascertaining the facts regarding second-class mail. Not only will the postofflce depart ment be heard, but the publishers will be given an opportunity to show how second-class mail causes more extended use of the first-class mall, thus, Indirectly, creating postofflce business and revenue. The effort to increase the rate on second-class matter will be made through a provision ln"orporated In the postofflce appropriation bill. Such a provision will be subject to a point of order, but to get around the rules of the house, which the house managers claim to be so necessary and sacred, a special rule will be brought In providing that the regular rule shall be violated In "order thnt this lncreae In second-class metter may be made a part of the postofflce annropriatlon bill. Those who are advancing an Increase on second-class matter say they must put it In the postofflce appropriation bill, ns It would be killed In the senate If It were a separate measure. There ought to be a warm contest over this question, and It will be In teresting to see whether the Insur gents and the democrats will stand against the house organization and prevent the adoption of this particu lar rule. A postal commission consisting of three senators and three representa tives recently gave much time and careful consideration to the proposed legislation for the postofflce depart ment and after a most painstaking research the commission decided that the rate of one cent a pound on second-class matter should be allow ed to remain. It would be strange If the men who composed that com mission and who are still in congress should be persuaded to vote for an Increase In the rate on second-class matter. One reason suggested for this In crease Is that certain magazines have been muckraking congressmen and other public officials, and It was thought It would be a good thing to punish them. "I am not In thm pun ching business," remarked Chairman Weeks when this phase, of tho nfter was sueTPsted to htm. "It Is not the province of congress to punish persons because of offenses of that kind." There Is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other disepscs put togethpr, and until the last fw ynrs was supposed to be In curable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local dis ease, and presTibod lo"al remedies, and by constantly falllnq; to euro with lnpnl trnttnent. pronounced It Incur able.
