NEWSPAPER SUSPENSIONS.
(Refloated trona The Firearm' Poll.
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.

IN the operation of railways Canadians
hold high reputations.
The chief Canadian systems are operated
over great -stretches of territory presenting
widely different problems.
Their traffic obligations fluctuate rapidly
with the seasons.
Climatic conditions are sometimes difficult.
Unusual foresight, skill and determination
are called for.
• • •
Yet the only unfailing highways for the heavy
trafT)c across the New World from China to Francs
during the war -were Canadian railways.
•
Canada alone among the allied countries had no
war -time transportation crisis. When foreign roads
choked under their bad, she relieved them of millions
of torn. At a time when ships were the need of thc
AVOW no ship best time in any Canadian port through
failure of the railways to deliver cargos at the docks.
To -day the Canadian producer still cormlands the
fastest, the most dependable and the cheapest railway
servile in the world.
But use foresight that made this record possible
could do nothing without MONEY/ The skill that
