AH the Indianapolis daily newspapers last week increased their mail subscription rates from $4.00 to $5.00 per year. In announcing the increase the News said: “New rates are made necessary by increase in price of print paper and other material used in producing a newspaper. The price of print paper, as fixed by the Federal Trade Commission, is now in excess of 100 per cent more than former costs. Second class postal charges are nearly 30 per cent greater than they were previous to July 1, with additional increases announced to become effective in July of each year, for the next three years.”
