The Stat. are far In advance of tne nai...... eraae In percentage of inhabitants who read daily newspapers ana "-a-lines, according to findings made by ProL George 8. Turnbuil oi uie of Journalism hi the University oi Oregon. Prof. Turnbuil Daaeu m vestlgatlon on the latest statistics given In the International Tear Dook of Editor and Publisher. Twtv.threA atnti'K rank below Ore gon In percentage of news paper read ing, and only four above. Tbese four In order, are Massachusetts, Califor nia, New York (61.5 per cent). Mis souri (47 per cent), Oregon's percent age la 42. The New England states and New York-New Jersey are the only groups to surpass the Pacific coast In per centage of newspaper readers, and in magazine reading the J'acuic coasi group stands first in the United Suites. Oregon distances lis northern and eastern neighbors in newspaper circu lation. Washington has 1,356.61 per sons within its borders, according to the 1920 census, and a daily newspa per circulation of 494,000. or 36 per cent of the Dooulation figure. Ore- ion's ahowinr of S27.94U copies circa lated among 783.3S9 population, is per cent, or 6 per cent better than that of Washington. Idaho, with ap proximately 60.000 copies of dally newspapers circulating among S66, makes approximately one-third as favorable a showing as does Oregon. Only one state, California of the ten included in the western group tall fornia. Washington, Colorado. Ore gon, Montana, Utah. Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming, and "Nevada surpasses Oregon's record in dally newspaper reading. And California Is second in the nation headed only by Massachu setts, which steps far in advance of every other New England state. Cali fornia's showing is 1.860.000 dally pa pers read among a population of 3,- 426,861, or approximately 53 per cent. Massachusetts, home of Harvard Uni versity, surpasses this record by 1 per cent. The statistics Indicate that Ore gon's magazine reading is far in ad vance of the average of the United States as a whole. This state, with Its 783,389 population (1920 census) includes within its borders 74 bun- lredths of one per cent of the popula- ion. These Oregonlans. however read an average of close to 1.4 per cent of the number of copies of magazines circulated in the country or nearly twice the total for the nation at large. , Oregon people constituted nine- tenths of one per cent of the readers of morning papers in this country, and one and one-tenth per cent of the readers of evening newspapers. The population of the United States as given in the census of 1920 was 105,710,620. Of these, 11.475,031 read the morning dally papers, and 19, 978,632 the evening papers. Sunday papers are listed separately. Total of morning and evening papers circula ted in the nation is. on this basis, 31.453.673 a figure which is approxi mately 30 per cent of the population. Oregon, on the other hand, with its 783.389 population, circulated 105 930 morning papers on week-days and 22.010 afternoon publications. This total of 327.940 represents 42 per cent ol the state s population, or 12 per cent In advance of the national average. In comparison with states of nearly equal population, Oregon's showing is most favorable. North Dakota, with 82 per cent of Oregon's population, haB fewer than 68.000 readers of Da kota morning and evening newspa pers, or less than twenty per cent of this state's total of 327.940. South Dakota's showing is somewhat better, witn 2,titiu, or approximately 25 per cent or Oregon s daily newspaper cir culation, among a population approxi mately 80 per cent of that of this state. Maine, with 98 per cent of Oregon's population, reads 163.810 coplcB of dally newspapers, or only 50 per cent of Oregon's total. The stntes of New Hampshire and Vermont, with a combined population a trifle larger than that of Oregon, circulate ap proximately 115.000 copies of daily newspapers, or less than 40 per cent of Oregon's totaL Prof. Turnhull's conclusions are : contained in the current issue of Ore gon Exchanges, published by the Uni versity of Oregon school of Journalism.
