ZONE POSTAL LAW REPEAL OPPOSED BY EDITORS; HOLD BREEZY BANQUET Press Association to Name Advisory Board to Act With Faculty of Journalism School. The Montana State Tress association now meeting in Great Palls favors the retention of the zone second class post age law, which the organization last year at Miles City went on record as opposing. To that end a committee was named to draft resolutions to be for warded to the Montana delegation in congress urging t.heni to work and vote against the repeal of the law. The sub ject was brought before the convention by F. M. Tenney. business manager of the <ïrent Falls Leader, who stated his belief that the vast majority of the men who last year were opposed to the measure, had changed their minds and were now in favor of retaining it on the statute books. Mr. Tenney moved the appointment of a committee to draft resolutions opposing the repeal of the zone law and it was warmly seconded by M. L. Hutchens, editor of the Mis soulian. Mr. Hütchens declared that the law had been of distinct advantage to the newspapers of Montana and the west and to the local newspapers in every community in the country. Benefits the West. "If there are people in this country who wish to read the Chicago or th" Minneapolis or the New York papers," said Mr. Hütchens, "let them do so, but let them pay for it. The zone law is opposed by those newspapers and by the magazines. They may be forced to raise their prices. If so let them do so. But I trust that the Montana Press as sociation will go on record as opposing the repeal of this law." When put to a vote the matter passed unanimously and the resolutions will be reported back to the association Satur day for final action. Another important matter taken up by the editors was in regard to the school of journalism at the state university at Missoula. At the request of Dean A. L. Stone and the university officials, j Announcing the Arrival of Hatrö ikfjober Û>fjoeô for Momen We feel that in secur ing this line of high grade footwear for women, that we have secured America's foremost in designs, patterns, quality and workmanship.

Scanlan of Miles City, wife of the president of the press association. the press association will name an ad visory board to act in conjunction with the administrative officers of the school of journalism. The press association's attitude toward the school is one of hearty sympathy and support and this is merely another step in that direc tion. The principal address of Friday's busi ness sessions were Assistant Attorney General Packard of Xorth Dakota upon the North Dakota printing law and by J. M. Kennedy of Libby upon the loyalty of the Montana press. Leon Shaw, general manager of the Billings Gazette, discussed the problem of newspaper subscription prices. Mr. Shaw declared that the day has gone by when a newspaper can exist without its receipts being greater than its expenditures; that the era of the per sonal organ has faded and that instead the newspaper is now a business propo sition. "The price of everything that goes into the making of a newspaper has ad vanced," said he. "Labor, ink, paper, in j fact everything that a newspaper has to ;reat deal more 1 buy i? uow costing a i f " an it formally iiid. The price of ad | vertising space *has been already ad-; j®vanced. So now, it seems to me. the | tin . lc h,,s come whon th, ~ subscription prices to newspapers will have to be advanced. Paper is higher than it ever was before. But that is not all. It is going higher. We have received definite notice that an increase in on the way." President Joseph I). Scanlan began the attack on the non-partisan league in the opening talk of the business session. He urged that the press of Montana re tain a level head and keep the flag of Americanism first at the mast on the state journalistic ship. He discussed the work done by the press of Montana during the war and declared that the fight, for pure Americanism still con fronted the newspaers of the state.
