Cost Of Police Protection Nearly $230,000,000 was spent for police protection by cities over 30,000 population last year, at an average cost of $5.16 per person, the International City Managers' Association has reported after analyzing police protection cost figures from the 810 cities of over 30,000 population. The analysis showed that nearly $200,000,000 or about seven-eighths of the total spent for police protection was absorbed by 89,907 policemen's salaries.
On this basis, 77 cents per person was For the first time in a very long while war has been exposed in all its nauseating trickery; its blunders are made clear. The most dreadful of all businesses, that of organized slaughter of humans, has Its due. This has come about ln a short book by Emilio Lussu, the Sardinian anti-fascist, who hit upon the idea of merely telling from memory what happened to him and his men in approximately one year of Alpine warfare.

That's what they used to say about Steve in the Republican National Committee and the White House secretariat during the Hoover and Coolidge days, when Steve got to "elucidating" a little too warmly about the shortcomings of those Administrations in his "pieces to the paper." Now he's on the other side of the fence, and any one who criticizes the White House or the Administration is to Steve "a money-grabber, and ex-grinder or a notoriety seeker!" It's funny how your thinking changes when you stand on the other side of the footlights! In fact, Steve, though he may have forgotten long ago, made almost the same observation to me in the White House one morning some years ago about a columnist, a lifelong Democrat, whose column had just been syndicated after years of writing for one paper.

A romance may be more glamorous than a canal but the canal lasts longer and is more useful. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote: "All of the sighs of the hill and the plain Fly as thick as driving rain; And ever again, in the wink of an eye, Painted stations whistel by." It is a fascinating journey. Every acre that you traverse has its legends, its historical significance and its horticultural or agricultural beauty.

Not for a second did it ever enter h'v mind that the writer in question might have been writing his criticisms from a sense of sincerely outraged democracy. "It is obvious that those who operate international broadcast stations have a very definite public duty to keep their programs free from false news," pontificates Steve. And pray, how are the broadcasting stations able to do that any better than the newspapers of the Nation when the latter are beset with the critical problem of being able to differentiate between what is true news and what is false news in the-se days of sitper propaganda methods? The theme of Early's observations to the broadcasters was that $4,809, while the average paid in the group was $4,024. Because total expenditures are a reflection of the number of police employes and salary levels, the Association said, it is to be expected that the larger cities, which have many more employes per capita as well as higher average salaries, will pay a larger per capita bill for police protection. i fields, without the slightest thought Italy from making an impression on the Austrians was the incompetence of the high command; the hopeless, stolid resignation of the men gave way once in a while but for the most part they merely poked their heads over the trench rim when ordered by men like Luseu's general, and died by the hundred.
Lussu has translated war into the words and the emotions of ordinary humanity. It is possible that an understanding of war in those terms, if general, would end war.

Just A Wrist Motion It develops that Louisiana State University built $25,000,000 worth of new college structures in the last few years, $13,000,000 of it being government money. Which reminds us of a story told by a college official recently.
He started out to get a reasonably small federal loan to build an assembly hall. The federal man came to look over the proposition. "You could really put up several new buildings here," he suggested. The college official nodded. "Since you're getting a loan at this time you might as well make your plan comprehensive," the federal man argued.
The college official nodded again. "And," said the federal agent, pointing over the broad acres, "you could fill ln all that land to the east and make a modern stadium." To make a long story short the college official finally went ahead and made a loan of a size to which the government had become ac prised if you turned out to be the type of driver who knew where the oil cup on the fan belt could be located.

An Idea "Wellington, New Zealand In What Other Editors Say State Tax Bases Shift Not one of the "old reliable" taxes which used to be the principal standbys of state governments remains in the forefront of state revenue producers ln 1939.
New-comers now dominate the field. Recent studies by the Federation of Tax Administrators demonstrate graphically how the states have been shifting their tax bases during the last quarter-century. In 1915 all the states depended principally upon the property tax, a levy which produced 50.9 per cent of all moneys collected by state governments ln that year. Next in importance were business and license taxes yielding 21.4 per cent, with inheritance taxes good for 7.9 per cent in third place, and motor vehicle licenses bringing 4 per cent as the only other tax which yielded enough revenue Senator Burton K.

In the general superficialities he is perfectly correct. But only fools adopt the obvious courses. The FCC has attempted no censorship.
What has been attempted and executed with great success. is an Indirect censorship, just. as destructive as the direct control. It has emanated from the White House. Steve himself has been one of the most proficient executors of this policy.
It has taken the form of hints to the networks that they had better "play ball" if they know what is wise. The indirect threats of what "might" happen to them if they did not toe the line have been constant. The fear of God has been tossed into the network authorities in New York. In the meanwhile, the Administration brains behind the direction of its radio activities have flooded the Nation's individual stations with free radio records, supplemented 5 with a deal of classy publicity.

minion acres of land. Fechner, director, mentions the value of the trees as preventing erosion of farm land. A planted tree, of course, has a number of highly valuable uses. Trees as windbreaks are proving successful in the wind-blown lands of the Middle West, where planting evidently is going forward in earnest. It had been supposed that trees would not grow in much of that area, but foresters demonstrated how this could be brought about by the use of the right kind of trees and proper handling.
In a day of lumber substitutes, the need of trees for future lumber supplies is not so much emphasized, although lumber will always prove useful and valuable.
