SHIP SUBSIDY BILL DEFEATED
 IN HOUSE II TO 5.

By a decisive vote of II to 5 the House turned down the Scott bill to appropriate $lO,2OO to aid ship ping along the coast of Seward Pen insula from St. Michael 10 KotZe- bue. Opposition to the measure was led by Representative Howard Lyng of the same division as the author, Tolbert Scott, and the debate waged around the vessel Meteor operated by Frank Williams who has the mail contract for the 750 mile trip, St. Michael to Nome to Kotzebue.
 Bad Precedent
 Lyng declared that if the Legisla- ture passed the measure it would set a precedent and that every con- tractor would submit bids in the future figuring the subsidy in, The result would finally be that the Ter ritory would be paying the contrac- tor and the government would be getting the mail hauled for virtually nothing. Asked if he bid on the job when the present contract was let, Lyng replied he did not because he knew it would be impossible to do the job at the figures submitted by the other bidders.

for which accurate figures are avail
able. The expense of maintaining
them totaled $179.502,7 ,799 for the
month, including Federal, State and
local expenses. The Federal Govern
ment paid $138,616,6 500 of the bill.
Babies are arriving at the fastest
rate in the classes least capable of
the responsibility" says one report
among families on relief. among fam
lilies not yet on relief but without en-
ployed workers, among families with
less than 81 200 year income. and
even among those whose economic
status dropped from moderate to poor
in the last few years.
Facts Shown in Study.
The facts came to light in a spe-
cial study made by G. st. j. Perrott
and Edgar Sydenstricker through the
cooperation of the United States Pub
lie Health Service and the Milbank
Memorial Fund.
A less extensive study has been
made by F. E r. A., which is respon-
sible for providing food and shelter
for the impoverished millions.
1t was found in October, 1888, that
there were 1,849,771 children who
were 5 years of age or less in fam
lilies living on public funds. The great
majority of those can be figured as
depression babies" since many of
the families were on relief before the
1929 crash.
In another study made by Prof.
James H. S. Bossard, Sociologist of
the University of Pennsylvania, it was
found that families on relief have a
birth rate 60 per cent higher than
other families living on the same eco
nomic scale, but not accepting public
aid.
Three Angles Considered.
The rott-Sydenstricker study
considers the birth-rate figures from
three angles-first, as compared with
varying degrees of low incomes; sec
ond, In comparison with employment
figures, and third, in comparison with
relief figures.
In almost every case the greatest
number of children were born to those
families least capable Of assuming
the responsibility.
