That newspapers and magaz net

dissemination ot public intelligence

that the original purpose of Con-

vent on by way of nominal postal
charges in consideration of their val-

ought not to prevent an increase
because they are now not only edu-
cat onal but highly profitable.
The postal commission on second

originaf recommendations for the in-

president Chicago aaoociat on of Com-
merce.
'The findings of the commission,’
says the President, "conf rm tbe
view that the cost of handling and
transporting second-class mail mattei
is greatly in'excess of the postage
paid, and that an increase in the
rate is not only Justified by the fae'u.
but is desirable.
"The postal service Is now,, fot
the. f '«t Ume in years, operated upon
a self- uataining basis, and in my
judgment this is a wise policy; but t
should uot be carried out at the ex-
pense of certain classes of mail mat-
ter that pay revenue largely in ex-
cess of the r cost. It is not just ths
some classes of mall should be exor-
bitantly taxed to meet a deficiency
caused by o her classes, the revenue
from which is much below their cost
of handl ng and arr age. Where
such inequalities exist they should
be removed as early as practicable.**

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Prtai-
deat Taft today approved and tor-
warded to Congresa the report of the
oomm scion on second class mall mat-
ter and recommended that the pos-
tal rate on magazines and newspa-
pers be raised from one cent to two
cents a pound
Postmaster General Hitchcock
originally recommended a four cent
rate, but later changed this to two
miss on Lnde that the cost
inf second class matter is
ibout five and a half cents a pound
In approving tbe two cent rate, how-
ever. President Taft declares that
the business enterprises of the pub-
I abers of periodicals have been built
up on the basis of the one cent rate
end therefore It would be unfair to
put into immediate effect a largei
increase in postage.
As to tbe effect of the proposed
ocrease from one to two cents S
pound. President Taft quotes from
the report of the poatal commission
the following paragraph:
- "Such tn Increase win not, in the
opin on of the commission, bring
distress upon the publishers of news-
papers and periodicals, or seriously
interfere with the d ssemination ot
useful news or tnformat'on. A reas-
onable time should be allowed after
the rate is fixed, before It is put Into
effect. W’hlle the news rate will be
very far from compensating the gov-
ment for tbe carriage and handl ng
of second-class matter. It will to some
extent relieve the ex’sting burden sad
result In a more equitable adjust-
meat of rates."
