FIVE NEW PAPERS A DAY.
Birth Rate in the United States and
Canada According to Newspaper
Census

Philadelphia, Jan. 30-New publica-
tions came into existence during 1912
at the rate of about five day, accord
ing to census figures compiled by the
1913 American Newspaper Annual and
Director, published here today.
The exact number begun is ], $50. In
the same period 1850 were discon.
tinued, making the net increase for
the year 96, about equally divided be.
tween the United States and Canada.
As in recent years, there were many
consultations. Much the largest com.
parative growth was in the daily field.
The publishing and printing indus
try, which the Annual and Director
represents, is one that, in number of
employees, value of products, and
value added by manufacture, is ex-
ceeded only by four others in the en-
tire realm of our country's manufac-
ture. The increase in value of output
IN tnls industry is remarkable. In ten
years it was more than sc per cent.
The annual income of newspapers and
publications is now estimated at $780,
000,000-a million dollars day, of
which, perhaps, two-thirds is derived
from advertising.
The current Annual and Director de-
scribes 24,3S1 publications, of which
1888 are daily; 1926 weekly; 1908
monthly. These are printed in 11,629
towns, which are likewise commercial
~ described.
Publications issued in the interest
of various classes and lines of busi-
ness continue to be numerous. There
are POS such lists, running from the
large ones, devoted to religion and ag-
to small groups, represent
ing sociology, woman's suffrage, ee-
ment and concrete, moving pictures,
etc. Every line of activity
has its printed exponent in these days.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

The most talked of institution and
the most noted personages in Vinita
is the Yinita high school and it's mem-
bers, remarked a business man this
morning in speaking of the articles
that have been appearing in the high
school column Of this paper written
by the students themselves. The man
| further said that he was glad that it
was so, as the best recommendation
a town could possibly have was the
character of its high schools and the
students in them. The greater part
of the male students in the Vinita
school he said are gentlemen at all
times and the girls conduct themselves
as ladies. The boys, he said, it is true,
go with their young lady school mates
a good deal, but | am almost tempted
to say that | am glaad of that too, for
that proves my point conclusiyely, the
boys are cultivating themselves into
men and gentlemen or the young
ladies' parents would not permit them
to do so.
This sentiment has been expressed
by Il number of others and some be-
fore expressing themselves on the sub
ject of the school, its management and
the time given to social affairs and
athletics have visited that institution
and found that the work done by the
students is in keeping with the time
and energy spent in the other part of
their school life.
The students as a body are doing
excellent work. or course there is
always few in anything that can be
criticised. They have a school spirit
as often found when they wish to dis
play it and have done much toward
giving Vinita the splendid system of
schools that it has. The students have
been winners in almost everything
they have attempted, and the town
has stood behind and supported them.
The business men have given them en-
couragement by their attendance at
their athletic games, their visits to the
school and to their debates, oratorical
contests and few have, as Mr.. Stev-
ems and the Sanders Wright people
are doing tonight, given them things
that reach their hearts much quicker
in the way of suppers and treats. This
is the spirit that has made vinita
high school and its students the envy
of the schools and cities of eastern Ok
lahoma and made it the winner in all
things, attempted and is making men
and women and ladies and gentlemen
of its students and your children
Keep your eye on the Vinita high
school and watch it grow and win.

taxation.

There is today in Oklahoma cities
and towns, a class of persons suffer
ing from the excessive taxation on
small incomes and their real estate
actually crippled in the domestic econl
omy side of life-hardly able to make
matters come out right" keep
out of debt; homes, il they have any,
mortgaged and liable to be taken from
them sooner or later.
Now why cannot Oklahoma afford to
go a little slowev-adjusting itself
more evenly to the real condition of
these things (much of which has been
brought about by the great haste to
become great more in consideration
of the masses the working class and
those of small incomes. 'Tis time too,
that we all like progress, and to know
/, that our state ranks well educationally
and in many other ways, but there is
a great deal in this subject. of taxa
ton that we think should just now re-
ceive the attention 81 our lawmakers
as well as their constituency.
We clip the following from Kan
sas City paper:
Quite as progressive as was its de-
cision sustaining an advanced indus
trial liability and Compensation act is
the decision of the supreme court Of
Wisconsin--one of the strong and
great courts of the country--fully and
Iunreservedly sustaining the new law
for the taxation Of incomes This law
is a substitute for the impossible gen.
eral property tax law to which other
states, including Illinois, still stick. 1t
is full OF novel and radical features. 1t
exempts small incomes while taxing
all incomes above $500 on a graduated
scale.
The court unanimously andSunhesi-
tatingly declares that the act is CON
stitutional. 1t may not be wise from
the standpoint of economics or poll
tical science; state incomes tax laws
may not be as desirable as a national
income tax law; but the courts have
nothing to do with matters of policy.
The legislature and people of Wis
consin were dissatisfied. with the gen
eral property tax and deliberately
adopted a substitute. Had they the
power to recognize inequalities in in
come and wealth and provide for differ
ent degrees Of taxation? They had
that power under the constitution, an
swers the court. In interpreting an
organic charter it is not necessary to |
ignore realities; ON the contrary, it is
proper and necessary to take them into
account Conditions have changed, |
and constitutional provisions must be |
interpreted in the light of present facts
and circumstances. This is the Wis
consin view, repeatedly proclaimed by
the highest court. 1t must and will be-
come the view of all courts.
