In a desperate ell'ort to meet rising costs without such an ad vance, men on The Advance force have been working day and night for the last live months without extra pay; and yet despite this endeavor the paper finds itself hardly able to keep enough money coming in to meet its running expenses, to say nothing of liquidating debts and accumulating a re serve against a day of business depression. We published yesterday a dispatch from St. Paul setting forth the advertising rates ar rived at by a committee of ex perts who have studied the sit uation as those that should be charged by the smaller news papers of the country if rates are to be based on the cost of production. These rates, away above those charged by The Advance, are as follows: 500 or less circulation 20c. 1,000 or less circulation 2f)C 1.500 or U'sh circulation line 2,000 or less circulation ;ifc. 2,500 or less circulation 40c. 3,000 or les.s circulation 4:tc. I!, 500 or "s circulation 4t!c. 4,000 or los circulation 411c. 4,500 or Ir.s ci re ii lot ion 52c. 5.0(10 or less circulation 55c. The report of the committee continues : After a thorough study of the present situation, the inciii hers of the committee cre unanimous in tin? opinion that the prevailing rates for advertising in com in unity news papers are much too low and that these rates do not compare with, the increased cost of other commodities. In t lie niecnancai departments la bor costs have increased from fifty per cent to 150 per cunt, the com mittee found; machinery and mater ials have advanced In keeping with the rising costs, and the newspaper publishers have not followed in the procession but have been deluding themselves into the belief that their future is secure as their past appar ently has been. It was found upon investigation that most publishers have .a very in adequate ftlea of the cost of produc ing the publications. Most of them bave considered that the increaed price of paper stock was the one item which should principally concern them. It is the one subject over which they have been especially alarmed. The committee felt that although the item of the increased cost of print paper should have serious con sideration it was of minor impor tance as compared to the increase costs of labor, machinery, materials, rent, insurance and the various other items of expense which are standard. It was found that a number of pub lishers who own their own building are not charging the items of rent in figuring what their publicatons are costing, nor have any considerable number been including Interest upon the money inve.-led in their plants as a part of the production cost of their newspapers. Others have been fail ing to put themselves upon their own payrolls for any adequate salary such as they might easily earn elsewhere, and from year to year have been la boring under the false delusion that they were making money. They have not taken into consideration the de preciation of plants and of the tre mendously increased cost of replace ment of machinery, and still they have continued to sell space in their publicatons at rates which bave pre vailed for years. The report con cludes: "The committee Is strongly of the opinion that disaster and ruin faces thousands of publications unless they Immediately adjust themselves to the new conditions and rigidly adhere to the rates which the committee of In Teitigatlon recommends." r The committee which met in Chi cago, January 29, consisted of Presi dent Edward Albright, Gallatin, Tenn The Advance will not Ad vance to the rates recommend ed by the committee of editors but a slight increase in both ad vertising and yearly subscrip tion rates is necessary. Th( weekly rate by carrier, how ever, will not be changed for the present. Advertisers and subscribers are urged to watch the paper for an announcement of the new rates between now and June 1st.
