PORK AND PATRIOTISM

Approximately 800 pork" bills
were introduced in the house by
more than 80 representatives on the
first legislative day of the new con
gress.
These bills run the gamut from a
postoffice in the old home town to
a general increase in the pay of
rural mail carriers and the construc-
tion of a new ship canal. While a
few of the bills fail to carry specific
appropriations the total of appro-
priations in those bills that do name
specific sums-291 in number - is
$139, 227, 1863. Twenty of the bills
or more each. That group of 20, if
call for appropriations of $1,000,0O0
passed, would entail a draft on the
treasury of $1O2,682,OO0.
The total number of public bills
introduced in the house the first day
was 767. The so-c called pork measur-
es constituted almost 40 per cent, of
the first days proposed legislation.
Interesting statistics, these In a
nutshell, they disclose the first mine
planned under the budget system by
the 6Sth congress. They tell, in fig
ures more eloquent than words. OF

FEWER LYNCHINGS IN 1923

Tuskegee Institutes annual COM
pilation of lynchings in the United
States shows a gratifying falling off
for 1928, from 81 to %, decline of
a little more than half But there were
during the year 46 instances of pre-
vention of attempted lynchings by
officers Of the law, which accounts in
part for the better report.
Lynching, from this analysis, is
no less popular through the South
where it is a deep-rooted institution,
and but for the diligence and cour-
age of law officers ire record would
have showns no improvement in 1928.
1t is a great improv ement, however,
when police and sheriffs as we'll as
governors begin to show determin-
ed spirit of law enforcement agains
mobs. Four women were saved from
lynchings parties during the year and
So persons were indicted for being
identified with lynch mobs. 1t is a
testimony to the better spirit of law
officers than the general public,
where lynch law prevails, that so of
these indicted persons were turned
loose. by juries. But it is sign Oh
improvement and of better civilized
life that of the lynched in 1923 only
one was burned at the stake.
During the year lynching occurred
in only nine states, which also is an
encouraging report, more than half
the instances being in Florida ano
Mississippi, with record of eight
deaths. The only other states with
more than one lynch murder was
Georgia, with four, and Texas and
Arkansas with two each. The remain
ing states in which lynchings occur

state, were Louisiana, Missouri, Okla.
