Out of All Reason
Proposed new postage rates would increase postal
costs for small-town weekly and daily newspapers by an
average of 254 percent — and would undoubtedly force
many of them out of business. That is the gist of figures
compiled by the National Editorial association, and pre­
sented by an association spokesman to the House Post
Office and Civil Service committee.
Almost everyone agrees that something must be done
about the post office deficit, which is currently running
in the vicinity of $700 million a year. But a rate increase
such as this on the smaller newspapers — coming as it
would on top of other rate increases amounting to 89 per­
cent which have been imposed during the last 10 years—
would be out of all reason. The carrying of newspapers
and magazines, like the carrying of letter mail, has been
regarded as an essential public service ever since this
government began. It is thus comparable to the military
forces, and it has rarely been argued that it should whol­
ly pay its own way.
On the other hand, post office services of a purely
commercial nature should most certainly pay their own
way — which means that the charges should honestly
cover both direct and indirect costs. The salient example
here is parcel post, which competes with private tax­
paying carriers at the local as well as the national level.
It is not in any sense of the word a basic function of the
Post Office department—and it has been operated at an
enormous cumulative deficit over the years. It would
seem that substantially increased parcel post charges
should be a first step in dealing with the post office defi­
cit problem.
Billions for Accounting
The following editorial is reproduced from The Am­
erican Press, an independent magazine for home town
newspapers:
“It would be interesting to know how many billions
of dollars are poured into the offices of accountants and
lawyers for the purpose of figuring out income taxes.
“It would also be interesting to know what percentage
of the money collected by the government is paid out for
keeping tax records and making tax investigations.
“Certainly if the money spent for these purposes
could somehow be steered into the U. S. Treasuiy, it
would balance the budget for years to come
“We don’t know just how the necessary simplification
could be brought about to make the paying of taxes an
easy and understandable operation, but we think it is
about time an effort in that direction was made. Each
year we hear that the Senate and House committees on
taxation are planning to rewrite the tax laws, and each
year nothing happens.
“If President Kennedy is looking for ways to stimu­
late business, here is a field which is crying for attention.
We are not necessarily asking for tax cuts, but for un­
derstandable simple, ‘do it yourself’ tax reports. We
would all pay our taxes more cheerfully if we didn’t
have that extra burden of paying people to interpret the
laws and fill in the reports for us.”
