UNIVERSITY OF OREC.ON, Eu
gene. April 1. (Special.) 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
