given over to their enjoyment.
PUBLISHERS GIVE
GUI STATEMENT
Oppose Increase in Postage On
Magazines.
SUBSCRIBER GETS THE BENEFIT
Without the Valuable Advertising
Publications Cou'd Not Be Pro
duced So Gmd and So
Cheaply.
Washington, f ob. IThe reply of
tlie periodical publishers association
to tli- statement of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock in support of his pro
posal to increase the postage on the
advertising portions of large maga
zines was made in the form of it
statement by the postal committee of
the association.
"Mr. Hitchcock entirely Ignores,"
the committee says, "the fact that sec
ond class mail Is the caief producer .
ot the first class po tag. that Anally'
saves (he face of tile poslofHce bal
ance sheet. The publishers show In
stances on which Che postoAflce depart
ment has made 14-1 per cent profit, |
from carrying magazine advertise- j
inents.
Mr. Hitchcock Instances one maga
zine perhaps the most profitable
periodical In the country -lo show
that tiiis periodical's recent increase
in advertising rate resulted in a protit
of $917,100. or enough to pay its post
age hill. The absurdity of tills sort of
long distance accounting is obvious
HliiTi il is explained that the Ameri
1 can magazine* cost to edit, manufae
, inn , deliver and administer nearly
twice as much as the publishers nets
from subscriptions.
i “The difference made up from ad
vertising is given to the subscriber in
his oppoitunity to purchase a much
i belter article than his subscription
price alone will produce. The postal
committee of the periodical publish
ers’ association have obtained the ex
act figures from the books of the ac
count of the five standard monthly
magazines which carried the most ad
vertising in 1909.
“The aggregate tinal net profits of
those five magazines are less than
one tenth of the aggregate advertising
Income. The reader gets the balance.
“This operaition of large advertis
ing receipts passed over to the reader
Hi the shape of a better magazine
than his subscription money will
make, edit and deliver accounts for
i he phenomenon of I he splendid low
priced widely read American periodi
cals."

THE KANSAS LAW UPHELD
THE STATE SUPREME COURT
SAYS IT IS CONSTITUTIONAL.
That or Any Other State Has the Au
thority to Stop Liquor Sales
For All Purposes.
Topeka, Feb. 13.—The supreme
court decided that Kansas needs no
constitutional amendment to enforce
the absolute prohibition of the sale
and manufacture of intoxicating li
quors. A statute to that effect is suf
ficient. At the same time the court
held that a constitutional amendment
does not in any sense diminish the
force of the situation in any way.
The derision also holds the string
ent prohibitory law of 1909 constitu
tional.
The case came up to the supreme
court from Sedgwick county, from a
suit by the stale against Michael
Weiss. The court ruled that Kansas
or any other state has ample author
ity to prohibit the sale and manufac
ture of intoxicating liquors within its
borders.
The law of 1909 hermetically sealed
the liquor situation in Kansas. Up to
its passage, liquor could be bought for
mechanical, scientific and medicinal
purposes as a matter of constitutional
right, but that statute wiped out those
privileges, and has made he situation
absolutely air-tight.
Weiss, in whose case this decision
was handed down, was arrested at
Wichita for selling liquor and con
victed. lie appealed to supreme court
on the ground that his sales were
for medicinal purposes and that the
legislature did not have the right to
stop the sale of liquor for purposes
allowed by the constitution.
The force of the decision is that a
prohibitory law' in Kansas would be
constitutional even though tho orig
inal prohibitory amendment of 1880
had never been submitted and passed.
NO MORE BILLS IN KANSAS
Both Houses Have Stopped Their In
troduction and Will Grind Out
What They Have.
Topeka, Feb. 13.—The embargo on
the introduction of bills in both
houses of the legislature now is on.
In the house a total of 1,012 bills
have been introduced to date, and 285
have been guillotined. In the senate
648 have been introduced, and the ax
has fallen upon 142.
Woman suffrage was passed and
has the governor’s signature.
The house spent all afternoon in
committee of the whole and passed
thirteen bills to third reading. Among
them was the Goddard bill, providing
that the votes cast % inpiatbs of the
soldiers’ home at I>eavehwdrth shall
he counted in their home counties and
not in Leavenworth county as here
tofore.
The Keene bill providing that the
guilty party in a divorce action must
wait one year before being married
was also recommended.
The senate has passed the Avery
bill, a recording fee of 50 cents for
each $100 of the face value on all
mortgages. The attorney general
holds that this fee cannot be collected
from non-residents.
CUMMINS FOP RECIPROCITY
The Iowa Senator Thinks It Strange
That His Position Should
Be in Doubt.
New York, Fob. 13.—Senator Albert
R. Cummins of Iowa spoke in advo
cacy of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement before the Union League
club of Brooklyn. Commenting upon
the fact that some curiosity had been
expressed as to what ,, his position
would be upon the proposed trade
agreement, the senator said it seemed
strange to him that, after having ad
vocated Canadian reciprocity in every
part of the country for ten years
“when most of its present advocates
were denouncing it,” his attitude
should bo in doubt.
“1 went down in defeat for it more
than once,” said Mr. Cummins, “and

conviction now that 1 had tbo» ••
