Editorial on Postage Rate Bill and Small Papers
Editorial argues a 50 percent rise in second class postal rates over five years, with a small newspaper exemption for papers under 6,000 circulation.

It warns exemptions favoring small businesses and questions the paper’s response to rural route changes.
