"NOT HOW CHKAP- 

 BUT HOW GOOD' 



RALPH M. WARD & GO. 



12 W. Broadway, NEW YORK 



Mention The Review when you write. 



voter who buys a good many magazines 

 and is interested in other phases of gov- 

 ernment activity recently wrote the fol- 

 lowing, which has become public: 



Hon. Frank O. Lowden, 



House ot Representatives, 

 Washington, D. C. 



Dear Glr; As you are the only Member from 

 Illinois on the Post-office committee, I address 

 you as my representative in that body to 

 urge yoa to vote against any Increase in the 

 second-class rate. 



I can see no more reason for expecting the 

 Post-office Department to be self-sustaining than 

 for requiring the Department of Agriculture 

 to pay its own way. If you vote to make 

 my magazines cost me' an Increased subscription 

 price, you shoald, as a matter of fairness, 

 vote against the Free Seeds, etc.
