A bill which vitally affects all business men,
and particularly the readers of advertisements and
users of newspapers, magazines and the busi-
ness press, was introduced recently in Con-
gress by Congressman Kelly. It has for its
purpose the reduction of the second-class mail
rates. In connection with his bill, Congress-
man Kelly spoke in part as follows:
"Newspaper and magazine publishers of the
country are in need of relief from the discrimi-
natory war tax in order that the press may con-
tinue to function. The proposed measure re-
tains the present zone system of postal charges,
but proposes to reduce the amount of the charge
from the fourth advance, effective July 1, 1921,
to the second advance in rates, which became ef-
fective July 1, 1919. The rates asked for would
still give the Government 175 per cent more than
the pre-war rates and would not relieve the pub-
lishing industry of one cent of the other Federal
taxes paid by it in common with other indus-
tries.
"The present postage rates on newspapers and
publications were fixed in the War Revenue
Law passed in 1917, and are 325 per cent higher
than the "pre-war rates. Everyone of the items
carried in that measure, with the exception of the
tax on second-cl^ss mail matter, has been modi-
fied or repealed. These wartime postage in-
creases have driven millions of pounds of second-
class matter from the mail into private channels
of distribution. There is something radically
wrong when private companies can make a hand-
some profit at rates less than those charged in
postage. I believe there is no good reason why
the publishers of newspapers and magazines
should be singled out to pay this extra war tax.
"The fact that these high rates are charged on
the advertising pages does not lessen the in-
justice. Advertising is not merchandise, but in-
formation. The newspapers are information high-
ways, just as essential to the business prosperity
of this country as the highways and waterways.
Not a sale can be made or a pound of goods
shipped without the interchange of information.
The advertisements are chronicles of every ad-
vance in industrial achievement. Without them
publication of the newspapers and magazines
would be impossible."
DANVILLE ENJOY^ AMPICO WEEK
Benjamin Temple of Music Institutes End of
Season Musical Treat
The end of the musical season in Danville, 111.,
was marked by a series of concerts in connection
with Ampico Week, arranged under the auspices
of the Benjamin Temple of Music, with the as-
sistance of Philip Gordon, pianist, and Elinor
Whittemore, violinist, who presented the usual
series of concerts and comparison recitals in their
well-known and brilliant style.
The chief event of the week was a recital pre-
sented before a large audience at the St. James
Methodist Church, in which the performance of
the Ampico and the superior artistry of Miss
Whitemore and Mr. Gordon were greatly en-
joyed.
