The New Postal Law.
Congress has made a now rostal law,
which went into effect on January 1.
1908. The new law makes it impossi
ble t r newspaper publishers to ex
tend credit to subscribers. The pro
visions are such that no publisher can
extend credit aud maintain the second-class
rating as to entry of his
publication at the vostotflce, and auy
other rating Is absolutely prohibitive.
The section of the new law most
effecting subscriptions to weekly
newspapers reads as follows:
"A reasonable time will be allowed
publishers to secure renewals of sub
scriptions, but unless subscriptions
are expressly renewed after the term
for which they are paid, within the
following periods: Dailies aitbiu
three months, Semi-Weeklies w itbiu
nine months. Weeklies within twelve
months, they shall not be counted in
the legitimate list of subscribers and
copies mailed ou account thereot
shall not be accepted for mailing at
the second class oosage late of one
cent per pound, but may be mailed
.t th tiam-ient second class postage
rate, of one cent for each four ounces
or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps
affixed."
It can be plainly seen that
this law is intended to, aud does shut
out of the mails all papers addressed
to parties not paid in advance, only
by putting a stamp on each paper,
which would incur an enormous e
pense, as well as a great deal of work.
The Examiuer has always extended
credit to subset ibers, where they
desired it, and we regret very much
that we cannot do so still. It is true,
subscribers are allowed twelve months
in which to renew their subscriptions,
but to comply with the letter of the
new law. subscribers are expected to
pay for their paper in advance, and
when one goes to "whipping the devil
around the bush," as the saying
goes, he brings upon himself a close
scrutiny by the postal inspectors of
bis method of conducting his business.
So our piau will be, to keep well
within the bounds of the law, and we
shall expect our suhscriders to help
as out in our efforts to do so.
We have very few subscribers on out
list at the present time who are in
arrears, and we hope those few will
ru milling to come to oar assistance
as we have ever been to accommodate
them by extending credit.
We feel that the law is an imposition
upon our private business, and we
did all in our power to prevent its
passage, but to no avail Last year
.an organization of publishers of
weekly newspapers was formed, which
we joined and voted to defeat the
proposed law, but the large daily
newspapers who invariably collect
subscriptions in advance, were pitted
against us in this work, and won out
ovei our protests. Their motive was,
no doubt, to "freeze out" a lot of
the smaller weeklies ; but The Lake
County Examiner will be doing busi
ness at the old stand, ju.t the same.
This is a federal law, and affects
very newspaper in the United States.
We are given until April tlrst, this
year, to collect all arrearages. We
believe we have stated the situation
plainly, and that none can be offend
ed at being asked to satisfy arrearages,
bo that we may look the postal iu
ebpector squarely in the face and lay
our subscription book open to him.
The Idaho Federation of Labor
cases are at an end at last. The jury
in the Peitiboue trial, after 14 hours'
deliberation brought in a verdict of
acquittal. Mayer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
was to have been tried on a charge in
connection with the Steiuenburg mur
der, was released and the cases will
all be cropped except that against Or
chard and Adams for the murder of
Governor Steuneuburg.
