report t e Parliarnéntary Debates, and send re
ports of markéts and other matters to the amount
of about 4f00 words per diem on t e average.
They deliver that matter to us in the country, and
r. arge us rates varying from 150 i a year to
250 L, the average being about 200 l. By the
tariff propdsed to us by V e Fost Office authon
ties, ilte cost of transmitting a similar amount
would be somewhere about 126 l. or 127 l. a year,
and we < onceive that for t e difference between
that and 200 1. probably the news might be col
lected by the organisation we proposé to éstablish.
1247\ At present the 200 l. covers the cost
of the collection of the news? — lt covers the
cost of the collection of the news and the trans
mission.
1248. The 127 l. which you reckon you
would p«y to the Post Office would only cover
the cost of transmission ? — Yes.
1249. You think that the difference would
be absorbed in the expense of collection? — 1
should say fully absorbed in the expense of col
lection.
1250. Therefore you do not éxpect that to
you the cost will be less ? - / think, if any
thing, it will be rather more.
1332. Mr. Norwood.*) You have no
fear at all that the Post Office will treat the
entire newspaper press in the provinces with
perfect equality and fairness? — 1 have not.
1333. You have confidence that they will
act with strict impartiality, that your expression
of opinion on public matters will not be guided
or influenced by the fact that, to a certain ex
tent, you are in the hands of the Post Office?
— 1 believe we shall have a much more effective
control over tjhe telegraphs Van now.
1334. You would not hesitate as a jour
nalist to make comments upon public ’ affairs
with the same freedom as now, or with even
still greater freedom? — Certainly not.
1355. Mr. Turn er.**) You have stated

pagnierne. Telegrafkompagnierne rapportere Par
liamentsdebatterne og sende Beretninger om Mar
keder og andre Materier til et Antal af 4,000
Ord pr. Dag i Gjennemsnit. De tilsende os disse
Sager rundt i Landet og beregne os Taxter, der
variere fra 150 Lstr. om Aaret til 250 I.stri
Gjennemsnit omtrent 200 Lstr. Efter den Tarif
der er os foreslaaet af Postautoriteterne, vilde Om
kostningerne ved Oversendelsen af et lignende An
tal blive noget omkring 126 Lstr. eller 127 Lstr.
om Aaret, og vi have den Mening, at for Diffe
rentsen méllem denn- Sum og 200 Lstr. kunde
sandsynligvis Nyhederne samles af den Tndreining
vi’ tcenke paa at etablere.
1247. For Nærværende dækker .de 200
Lstr. Omkostningerne ved at samle Nyhederne?
— De dække Omkostningerne ved at samle og
oversende dern.
1248. De 127 Lstr.. som De regner, at De
vilde have at betale til Postvæsenet, vilde alene
dække Oversendelsesomkostningerne? — Ja.
1249. De tror, at Differencen vilde medgaa
til Samlingsudgifterne ? — Jeg skulde sige, at den
helt og holdent vilde medgaa til Samlingsudgif
terne.
1250. De venter derfor ikke, at Deres Om
kostninger ville blive mindre? — Jeg tænker, at
de heller ville blive større.
1332. Hr. Norwood.*} De har aldeles
ingen Frygt for, at jo Postvæsenet vil behandle
hele Provindspressen med fuldkommen Lighed og
Billighed? Nei
1333. De har den Tillid, at det vil handle
med streng Upartiskhed, at Deres Meningsudta
lelser om offentlige Gjenstande ikke ville ledes
eller paavirkes af den Omstændighed, at De til
en vis Grad er LPostvæsenets Hænder? — Jeg
tror, at vi ville faa en meget virksommere Kontrol
over Telegrafeme end nu.
1334. De vilde, som Journalist, ikke tage
i Betænkniug at gjøre Kommentarer uver offent
lige Anliggender med den samme Frihed som nu
eller endog med endnu større Frihed ? — Visse
ligt ikke.
