The American Farm Bureau Federation opposes a proposed 100 percent rate rise on newspapers and periodicals. They warn many small papers would go out of business while larger outlets could build private distribution. The letter to Senator Moses argues the parcel post supports rural life and local development, urging rates be kept fair to sustain country newspapers and avoid crippling community papers.
