The reduction in the number of daily aewspapers by suspensions, -absorption and amalgamations is not alone due to and other coats, but to itions io the news(Aper n likely tocootinue, to we nigher changing nosiness, are entering upon most critical tunes for them. The main apply of world-wide news is now furnished by tbe Associated Pres and several other news -gathering services. Exactly tbe same general, and much of the local, news appears in every daily newspaper in Canada. The same condi• tion exists in the advertising columns. Chis standardization of news and adver- tising service is likelly to go on steadily improving. and the publication of more than one good morning or evening paper in a centre is becoming very much of a wasteful duplication of effort. A good daily paper, even in the smallest centres, is well worth, and should be sold for five curls, and a family should be content with one. Rural weeklies, national weeklies and periodicals are an a different class. Their contents are entirely original. That is, they do not appear in any other publica- tion. They are becoming increasingly more expensive to produce. The reading matter in a single issue of a leading Canadian magazine costa more than eight to tea times the whole reading con- tents in a leading daily paper. The Free Pres. Forest, Ontario. refers to the passing out. because of increased costs within the last five years, of eight of the 9fteen newspapers published to Lambton county. This will be regretted by those who know country lite in Can- ada. A rural weekly and small city daily is more of a public institution than a money -making enterprise. There are few editors of rural and smaller daily papers who are not underpaid. self- sacrificing public servants. They give more to than they get from their coin - mutinies, and when they are leaders, as so many are, commanding respect and con- fidence. their papers are a great power. The Financial Post is in cordial sympathy with thc action of Parliament in continu- ing to -in spite of the oppol►tion of the big city dailies for whom R.L. Richardson, M. P.. spoke -to transport rural weeklies free of charge in their local districts. Another phase of goad work these local papers do is to keep those who go out into the world, to the big centres and foreign pinta. in touch with their old homes. For that reason we would also favor carrying copies of rural papers going to these sub- scribers free of postage. This is really a great national service. a good investment for the country. There are few men or worsen who do not hope to go back to and do wanething for the old home. • If the world treats them well they want to share the good things with the schools, chutches, and institutions in their old borne.. Many of them do. These generous thoughts can be best retained by keeping them constantly in touch with theoinat home. There is only one way the local newspaper. No matter how busy we are we make time to read that, if it comes to us. At one time these papas were carried free to any subicnber in Canada or in the United States, but Dr. Coulter dropped this very soon after his advent to the Deputy Postmaster -Generalship. It was a very serious mistake. Thousands of Canadians were cut off who have never since regained touch. We submit these facts to Parliament with the suggestion that they, the M.P.'s, seriously consider whether -as a good business proposition -we should net per- mit these rural weekly and smaller dallies an unlimited free postal area. The in- vestment will be trifling and the return to tbe cation very profitable. THE R A CAPITAL Bt llau Dutra 46. Llten ture-Doris McNaughton 90.
