The Commission on Second Class Mail Matter (appointed in 1911) of which I was a member, considered this question and reported unanimously against the zone system. We said in that report: "The policy of zone rates was pursued in the earlier history of our postoffice and has been given up in favor of a uniform rate in view of the larger interest of the nation as a whole. It would seem to establish a system of zone rates for second-class matter.

"Progress in the post office, with respect, both to economy in administration and to public convenience, leads away from a variety of different charges to uniform rates and broad In my judgment the zone system for second-class mail matter is tm just to the publisher and unjust to the public It not only imposes upon the publisher the additional rates upon a sectional basis, but it makes necessary the added expense for the necessary zone classifications at a time when every economy in production and distribution is most important.

If it is important that newspapers and magazines should be circulated, it is equally important that there should not be sectorial divisions to impede their general circulation through the entire country. "We are proud at this moment of our united purpose, but if we are to continue as a people to cherish united purposes and to maintain our essential unity as a nation, we must foster the influences that promote unity.
