WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.--Citi-
zcnS of the four wet states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,,
and New Jersey are required tC
contribute 43.4 per cent of the
money. the federal government
spends in its effort to enforce the
Volstead act.
New York alone pays 27 per cent
CT the total bill, and Pennsylvania
4 little less than 9 per cent.
These calculations are based ON
the share of internal revenue taxes
paid by each of the states.
1t costs the four states about
S17,5OO,OOO a year for administra-
ton Of a law to which they ale
opposed New York pays $10,800,-
600; Pennsylvania, $3,336,000; and
Massachusetts and New Jerse,
about $1,5O0,000 each.
Dry States Pay Less
The six dry states of Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, each of
which had an equal voice with each
of the four wet states in making
the country dry, contribute to-
gether less than 5 per cent of the
cost of enforcement. Their share
is $1,732,000, contrasted with the
17,5OO,OOO collected from the four
wet states.
III each instance the. cost of en-
forcement to the federal govern
ment is figured at $4O,OOO0o0 an
nually, regarded as a conservative
estimate.
Total expenses of the federal
government for all purposes are,
roughly, four billions a year. En-
forcement therefore costs about l
per cent of the total. Using this
as basis Of computation, we find
that the per capita cost Of prohi-
bition enforcement to the average
citizen is near 33 cents year.
SO Cents TO Citizen
On the same basis, the per capita
cost to citizens Of New York is SO
cents, however. In Pennsylvania it
is IS cents; Massachusetts, IS cents
and New Jersey, 80 cents.
The dry citizen of Nebraska is
called upon to pay only about Sc
cents; Oklahoma, 1872; Kansas, Is;
Texas, 123 Kentucky, 1874, and
Tennessee, 10. An ALBANIAN pays
only As cents.
The northeastern states of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
clusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia pay As per
cent of the total cost of enforce
ment.

In cases where promising material
is found, proper steps for further
advancement will be suggested by
Davis and his associates which prob
ably will lead to an appearance on
the Indiana stage for the aspirant.
There are dozens of highly tai
ented people in and near Indian
apoliS who should be given an OPP
portunity of expressing themselves, :"
said Davis, land it is this that we
propose to do. If the person has a
chance to make good, he or she
wants to know it. If they do not,
they likewise should be told in order
that their work may be directed
along other lines.
Several widely celebrated artists
originally came from this part OF
Indiana, but did not have an oppor-
tunity of finding themselves until
they went elsewhere. It's hard to
determine how much good material
was lost to the world because of this
very thing"
Charlie will conduct weekly try
outs" back-stage of the Indiana at
o'clock each Monday, night. AS
prants who wish to appear before
Davis and his associates will report
to Ed ReSener, conductor Of the In
diana concert orchestra, at the en-
trance of the Indiana stage, between
1880 and o'clock on any Monday
evening.
Resener then will arrange the
schedule Of Appearances before Davis.
Singers. dancers and those who do
comedy turns, will receive the great
est help from these 'try-outs."
In reviewing present celebrities,
Davis mentioned the following as
a few who came from in and near
indianapolis:
Warren Kerrigan, one of film
dom's first celebrities; Louise Fazen-
da, comedienne, who first won fame
as a Mack Sennett bathing beauty,
later entering feature length pic
lures; Valeska Suratt, Terre Haute
dramatic star; Buck Jones. one of
the leading delineators of western
roles; Monte Blue, one of the
screens greatest; Charlie Murray,
beloved comedian; Patsy Ruth Mil
Ter, heroine of many pictures;
Churchill Ross, one of the Collie
gians;" Julianne johnson, seen re-
Gently in "Oh, Kay" and Johnny
Perkins, stage comedian, who was
seen at the Indiana Anniversary
week, and who will return to the
Indiana next Saturday.

 SOMERvILLE. N. j., April 19-- Authorities place little credulencs in the reported confession of Ei- win F. Allen, at Fl Reno, Okla. to the Rev. Hall and Mrs. Mills murders.
 Discrepancies in the confession are cited to show Allen is draw ing on his imagination. Tele- grams to Prosecuting Attorney Francis Bergen, of Somerest Coun- ty, from Sheriff Shacklett, gave the dates of the murders in Al lens confession as 1921 when the slayings occurred in 1922.
 Another discrepancy was the naming of Plume Lane as the hiding place of the bodies. They were actually found on an un- named pathway.
 investigations were started last week by letter to Bergen from Aliens cellmate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 19 With the death of United States Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio the Indiana presidential prefer ence primary on May s will of fer the first clear-cut test of strength between Herbert Hoover and an opponent in the embroiled race for the Republican presiden- tial nomination.
 Had Willis not died the test would have come in Ohio, for the secretary of commerce had enter ed the Buckeye primary too in an attempt to wrest delegates from favorite son.
 United States Senator James F.. Watson, Hoosier David Haf1im of politics, with an admitted grip on the home folks, Is Hoover's opponent for lndianas B dele gates, and he has carried on a campaign in vigorous fashion.
 National issues in Indiana have trooped across the stage against a backdrop of spectacular scenery set up by one of the hottest pri mary campaigns iE Hoosier his tory.
 The primary offers the first popular expression since the re- cent turbulence in Indiano poli- tics, marked by Indictments of public officials and charges of widespread corruption.
 The Ku Klux Klan has been a factor, especially since the latest statements of D. c. Stephenson. former Indiana Klan head. From his life cell Stephenson has bareG he says, the true story of Klan efforts to control public officials.
 "Stephensonism" is term that has been coined by Democrats to characterize the Republican regime.

PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska. The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly in Alaska, change their address es so often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good business. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- ton for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir culation is to require pay ment in advance.
 So, beginning May 1, sub. scriptions to The Empire must be paid in advance.
