Necessary That Newspapers File Circulation Statements

John Callan O'Laughlin Writes Interesting Articles Saying Law Is Fair to Publishers, Advertisers and Ultimately Assists the Consumer. An interesting series of articles by John Callan O'Laughlin, the wellknown Washington correspondent, appearing in the Chicago Tribune, dealing with the necessity of newspapers being honest in making circulation statements. "It is a striking reflection upon some newspapers," writes Mr. O'Laughlin in today's issue of the Tribune, "that congress deemed it necessary to insert in the postofliee appropriation law, approved August 24, 1!U2. a provision requiring all daily publications to file semi-annually a , sworn statement showing the average j of the number of daily copies sold or : distributed to paid subscribers during ; the preceding six months. l.'nderly- ! ing "this action was a purpose not to permit the further defrauding of ad vertisers and the people generally, j who' a. have to pay the freight. I "lf Wds recognized br Cue authors of ,he law that the decent newspaper would welcome a condition of this kind. "Its honesty and truthfulness constituted a positive detriment and even lf'd to financial loss, for mnny adverwhat thev were told ;mu wnat was printed rested upon a solid foundation of fact. "Newspapers cannot be private institutions in the sence of the packers or manufacturers. They are semi-public in their character. The postal law declares they must be "originated and published for the dissemination of information of a public character, or devoted to literature, the sciences, arts, or some special industry," in order to sec ere the privileges of second class ' mail. i "In other words, it is presupposed that they are honest in the present ntion of their news and views and in their business relations with the people with whom they deal. "But experience has demonstrated that in some cas"s this presupposition is not well founded. The publisher who

lies about his circulation places hims'elf in the same category as the packer or the food or drug manufacturer who fattens on the sale of impure commodities. Indeed, he is more guilty from the moral point of view, for he not only swindles, but he commits perjury as well. Decide to Demand Statement. "Satisfied as to the sordid character of the crime committed by "circulation liars," and of the failure or the inability of the postoffice department to force them to be honest, congress determined to require by law that all newspapers should make a seini-an1 nual circulation statement. To assure accuracy, the provision required that the statement should be made under oath and on forms supplied by the postoffice department."

BURBANK TELLS OF NEW PERFECT MAN BURBANK. "Let's talk about moulding men to a better species.'" said Luther Burbank, world-famous plant wizard, during a recent interview, "for the ways of plants are the ways of men. The man who retards the growth of the human plant resembles the lowly weed that I consign to the bonfire. His doctrine is 'let well enough alone,' and he should be cast aside if he refuses to respond to new environment. The man who dulls his senses and clogs his physical structure through vices, and be who debauches his moral nature by stealing, lying and cheating, "holds back his race immeasurably. He cuts off the tendrils that are rearing toward a more refined and perfect individual and social life, shackling his progeny to grossness."
