PUBLIC SCHOOL EXPENDITURES.

Approximately $61 per year is now being ex- pended for each student in the public high schools and elementary grades in the United States, it shown by recent survey by the United States Bureau of Education. The cost in cities is much higher than in rural com munities and scattered settlements. The aggre- gate outlay for public schools in 1925 in 250 cities of the country having more than 30000 population $607,059,s53. The increase was unusually heavy in such cities, growing from $630 per capita of population in 1916 to $14.51 in 1925. There was similar growth in school investment during the period, 1t being $750074,0 900 in 1916 compared to S2,112,- 0000 900 in 1925, while the school debt had jump ed from $3s5, 900 to $9s2, 1000, ,O00
 Nevada has the highest cost per student among the AS States leading with $114. Wyom- ing is second with $97. New Jersey showing $96 and New York s95. Mississippi shows the smallest expenditure per student with only SIG. Most of the Southern States are low ranging from Mississppi's $16 to $31 for Virginia. Teach salaries in these commonwealths lower than the average and other school operating costs notably in rural schools, materially less than in relatively similar schools in North ern, Eastern and Western States.

Honesty in Business.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 American business has learned that honesty is the best policy not because it is a policy returning practical dividends but because it is fundamentally and ethcally right
 writer in Christian Business for February asserts that business. acting through it's agent the Better Business Bureau, during the past o years has reduced materially unfair competition; lowered advertising and selling costs: increased the value of advertising by constantly improv- ing all advertisng promoted public confidence in business removed unjust suspicion and mis- understanding between competitors. decreased the waste of money in spurious advertising mediums and has made thousands of investigations each the advertising methods of certain stores
 He quotes Herbert Hoover saying that "thc most potent force in society is ideals' and urges that the Better Business Bureau work proves MT. Hooyer's point.
 MT Hoover should be entitled to credit for repeating this truism, though it old when Confucius young heard the hills of Galilee when Christianity was in embryo The race would long ago have perished from the face of the earth but for the ideals which it's prophets priests and true leaders have held up, and to which they urged mankind to win.
 The code of piracy and it's kindred enter prises is dead. Business men today the lead CTS in world thought and action they found at the seats of government and in the van of social and cultural effort Honesty in business has become the formula for national enterprise.

NARCOTIC EDUCATION WEEK.

The last seven days in this month will mark the second annual observance of Narcotic Educa- tion Week under the auspices of the World Mar cotie Defense Association and the World Con ference of Narcotic Education. This is matter which very closely concerns every citizen, touches each community of the country regardless of it's size or geographical location. The drug evil is recognized as one of the most deadly enemies of society. It's victims throughout the world number millions and are increasing all the time if the mounting growth in the traffic of narcotic drugs during the past few years is indicative of the true state of affairs.
 For decades only sporadic efforts were made to combat the evil. There cohesion or coordination of the work, each group working independently of every other similar organization. Recently there has been union of effort a worldwide scale and organized and we-directed warfare has been waged against the exploitation of narcotics In America the Narcotic Defense Foundation has been organized to insure adequate finances to keep the work going. It is the out growth of and works with the World Conference on Narcotic Education of which an American, Richmond P. Hobson is Secretary General
 The laws in most of the States and the Fed erl statutes dealing with the exploitation and use of narcotics are perhaps adequate. But law alone cannot check the evil practices. In the last analysis success is dependent upon education. Facts-and these not lacking in the most terrible form--are abundantly available for dis A~semnaton in schools, churches, clubs on the screen, over the radio and through all of the varied mediums of publicity. The press of the country has long been enlisted in the fight. In the coming week there should be a oombina- tion of all these agencies to make it possible to deal really effective blow against the traffic, the evil of which may, and does; strike, at all and peoples without respect to color or degree.

REAPPORTIONMENT UP AGAIN.

Reapportionmenl of members among the sew eral States to Congress has bobbed up again to disturb the serenity of the lower House Not since the census of 1910 has there been any change in the membership. Although the Con- stitution requires proportonate representation cording to the population, and new figures for reapportonment available with the publica- tion of the Federal census of 1920, every effort made to bring it about has been defeated
 The original apportionment in Congress was one member for each 10000 of population. Thereafter the ratios determined by each sue ceeding deeennial census 1790 and 1900, one to each 33.000; 1810, to each 35,0O0; 1920, one to each 40,000; 1880, one to each 47.- 700 1S40, one to each 70,6S0; 1850, to each 93,423; 1S60 to each 127,3S1 1870, one to each 131,425; 1880, to each 151,9l1: 1890, one to each 173,901; 1900 one to each 194,1S2 The present House, which has membership of 435 is apportioned a ration of one to each 211,8S7
 There has been some suggestion that the present membership is sufficiently large, in fact 1s unweldly and that it would be unwise to add to it's numbers. If the present membership xhould be continued and reapportionment made on that basis and in accord with the 1920 cen ms eleven States would lose, ten losing one
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-02-21

representative and one. Missouri, would lose two. The States which would lose one are: Indiana, Iowa, Kansas Kentucky, Louisiana Maine, Mississippi. Nebraska, Rhode Island and Vermont Eight States would gain as follows California three, Ohio and Michigan g. New Jer- sey, North Carolina, Texas and Washington one each.
 Should, however, 1t be decided to reappor- tion representation that no State would lose any of it's delegation, the 1920 census figures would give 25 States increase in the number of members each is entitled to in the House It would then be necessary to apportion the mem bershp on ratio of to each 218,986 of population The total number of members would be increased to 483. The following gains would be permitted under such an arrangement: Cali fornia five New York, Michigan, Ohio and Penn syvania four each Illinois and Texas three each Massachusetts. New Jersey and North Carolina two each, Alabama. Arkansas, Connecticut, Geor- gia, Maryland Minnesota, New Mexico. Okla homa, Oregon South Carolina Tennessee, Vr- ginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin one each. If the estimates for 193O should be used there would be some changes from these figures.

Misunderstanding Each Other.
(Kansas City Star.)

One of the things that make it difficult for nations to understand each othereis the fact the people of any country enjoy misunderstanding the people of other countries. They prefer the carcature to the real picture.
 Europeans like to believe that the typical American is bragging fellow with an abund- ance of money and little appreciation of any thing else. They get enjoyment out of having this opinion of the American, and why should they wish to know the truth when it wouldn't be half so much fun? We could show them lots positively timid, but if they saw and admitted the truth they would feel that they had lost something
 And have pictures of foreigners that we don't want the truth to disturb All of us like to misunderstood each other because it is pleasant and easy.

Fabrizio, organizer of the labor
delegation to the Soviet Union, de-
clared later that the Italian workers
sympathize with the U. S. S. R. in
spite of the fascist terror.
The testimony of Terracini defin-
itely proves all the indictments to be
illegal. The entire prosecution is
based upon legal business letters in
the hands of the fascists, it was
demonstrated.
During the testimony of the wit
