Is the gentleman aware that to the fact, because it might reduce some of the urplus we have the majority of the newspapers in his own State llave indorsed been boasting of heretofore. this law, and does he call that provincial? Mr. BLACK. Well, I am glad that we have had the surpluses Mr. MONDELL. Yes; I do think it provincial, anll I have so and congratulate the country on having a Pcstmaster General advised them. that believes in economy and evidences his l1elief by running Mr. RANDALL of California. The gentleman is aware that his department within the limits of its receipts whenever that the National Editorial Association has indorsed it? is po sible. The reason I am discussing these matters, which Mr. MONDELL. I do not care who has indor edit or whence might for the moment appear irrelevant to this conferenc/3 the indorsement came. I know orne gentlemen who run local report, is because of the fact that we now have a commission from papers imagine that it is to their advantage to have a policy the House and the Senate investigating the question of postal established and maintained under which local people must read alaries with a view to reporting recommendations at the De­ their papers, and can not read papers published elsewhere, be­ cember session looking to permanent readjustments.
