"My country, its preservation and

NOTICE TO
Under ordinary circumstances a
! tions to pay for the amount of whit- paper they consume in the course of
i a year. At present no paper is receiving enough with paper at 13 cents a
' pound to cover this cost. A year ago dailies the size of Albany papers
! were getting paiier for about half thtt figure.
I Under these conditions the Democrat will have to insist unon all sub
' scribi-rs who are in arears to pay up or drop from the list. If you ore
receiving the Democrat and do not want it, kindly drop us a line or tell us
and it will be stopped. We cannot afford to be wasting white paper on those
who do not want it. If you are back anil want us to continue sending the
paper, if it is not convenient to pay for it just now, write us and we will
carry you for a short time longer. But we want to know where every sub
' scriher stands.
I It has been the custom of this paper, and the same practise is followed
by all pnpers in the smaller cities, to continue to send the Democrat from
the time it is ordered until instructions are received to stop it We are net
equipped with an elaborate system of checking each subscriber when his
time is up end cutting him from the list. On each paper going through the
mail is stumped the date of expiration of the subscription. We deperd
, upon you to watch it and tell us nt the proper time if you do not care for
! the paper any longer.
Furthermore, we have confidence in your ability to pay and in your
' desire for the pnprr when we let it go past the subscription date, or we
would not continue to send it. Taking our subscribers as a whole, they de
sire this system and many would be offended, not to say insulted, if we
summarily struck their names from the list at their expiration dates. The
Democrat is a home paper, a sort of a big family affair, and we take each
subscriber into our confidence when he joins our ranks.
Unfortunately, there are a few people who subscribe and they fail to
order their paper stoped at the end of the year. Following out our policy
we pay little attention to our lists and continue sending the paper. Some
of these neonle eventually receive a statement and then claim that thev
! do not owe the bill because they only ordered the paper for a year.
I We wnnt all nf such people to sneak up and let us know so that we may
save the cost of paper, printing, mailing and other items of expense in
accomodating them. Anyone who doe not appreciate our extending credit
should let us know without delay. All subscribers more than a year in ar
rears will be taken off of the list on March 1, or soon thereafter.
Furthermore, we might give out the hint that it may not be possible to
continue selling the Daily Democrat at $4 a year in Linn County and on
Route 4, and $5 outside of the county, or for $5 a year or fiOc a month in
the city. If you want to take advantage of this rate and be sure of it we
advise sending in your subscription for a year or more in advance. Our
general operating expense is more than three time what it was a few
month ago. We are making twice as good a paper as was ever made here
before and have still lurther improvements in mind. But we have no do
sire to send the Democrat to anyone who does not appreciate it.
