The New Postal Regulatic
?Why It Was Adopti
by the Postofflce Depar
ment.
Washington special in t
Columbia Record: An immeu
reduction in the demand t
print paper is one of the co
crele results of the postal reg
lation adopted by the postofli
department with the idea of co
reeling serious abuses of the se
ond-class mailing privilege,
Third Assistant Postmast
General A. L. Lawshe, who i
(diluted the new regulatioi
which became effective a litt
more than a month ago, is i
sistent in declaring that the ord
will not affect any legitima
publications. It is certain, c
i the other hand, that tho publ
cations which are spread broa<
cast over the country merely f<
the sake of getting the adve
tisements they contain befoi
the people practically will f
driven out of busiuess. Ilu
dreds of periodicals heretotoi
have been published whose sul
script ion lists were padded i
the utmost limit. It made t
difference to the publisher whetl
er people paid the subscripts
price of tho periodical or no
The price was purely nominal i
most instances. The adverti
ers 11 paid the freight," so the
say, and the government ca
ried tho take publications pra
tically free through the mails.
Now the situation has bee
changed, llerealter, the goveri
meni. win nol have the mai
burdened with enormous sul
script ion iists that are not gei
nine or with sample copies <
this publication or that whic
does not pay its own way ill roup:
^ the mails.
An ' lllcia! ot the postofliee d?
partincnt who lias done some t
goring on tlie matter,says thf
during the month of Jan. nearl
20,000,000 less copies of purel
advertising publications wei
carried in the mails than wer
carried during the mouth c
Dec., before the now regulation
became effective. llere o ore
these publications have bee
transported bv the nostollice dr
f A
partment at pound rates pre
cieely as are real newspapers.
<kThis constituted ail abuse c
the mail privilege," said Mi
Lawshe, "that never was withii
the contemplation of congres
when that part of the postal lai
\va9 enacted. The Heading ol Va*
amounts of second class matte
through the mails does not ir
croa.se the revenues of the de
partraent to any great exleni
but it doea increa'o tremendous
ly the expense and trouble. Th
'sample copy' abuse also has boo
carried to extreme. It is an al:
solute fa^t that some publisher
rarely if ever take a name iroi
their subscription books after i
has been placed thereon, not
withstanding the fact that th
subscription has expired and th
* subscriber no longer wants th
publication. These condition

I the result will be beueficial not jj1

or matter has amounted to nearly (0

carried through the mails, ?nd ,
no, -vet has Hyielded less than five c

will be changed. I believe the pQr
second-class matter will amount, ^
when business is adjusted to tho
regulations to not more thau
