Show , THE SUBSCRIPTION RATE. H Tin: Kki'diu.kan again calls attcn- H Hon to a change In the subset Iptlon H i rate of (his paper in Logan city. Last H ;, Xovembcr It was cited that delivery H 1 ' . of papers In Logan costs between $500 H t and SOCK) a year; before free mall de- H ! livery was Instituted by the govern- B ment there was no oxpenso of the H I kind to this paper. This expense Is H one that the paper can Illy a (lord to H J bear as long as subscribers Insist on H ' , brlug carried on tho books a year or H ' , two without pay. In order to carry H subscribers it is neees-aiy to borrow H money and pay interest. To pay In- H terest and an additional delivery ac- H count of WOO or if GOO a year Is heavy, H As staled In November and again In H January, Tiik Hni'biiLiCAN has made H thn following subscription rate for H Logan city One year in advance UL'.fiO; Hj not in advance U.'l.OO. If subscribers H will take notice of this there will ho H no misunderstanding when they come B to settle. H In speaking of newspaper rates, it Is H cited here as a fact that can not be H successfully contradicted, that there IH'j are few local weekly newspapers of ZjH any value to the community in which the; live that do not have a $l.f0 a year subscription rate. There arc several weeklies in tills' state that charge that, and In Colorado and Idaho many of the good weeklies cost $2.00 a year. This would make a. semi-weekly come at $:i.00 or $4.00 a year, and thcro are no seml-wcckly newspapers In the country, other than those made up from the out-of-date rehash In the big daily oillces, that arc furnished for less than that when not paid In advance. Anybody laboring under the Impression that the average country weekly, semi-weekly semi-weekly or trl-wcckly Is getting rich off its subscriptions at $1.50, 2.d0 or UJ.00 a year is laboring under a greater delusion de-lusion than Mr. Parker was when he thought ho would bo elected over Roosevelt last fall. |
