OWNERSHIP OF FARMS AND HOMES.

A highly interesting statistical report has
just been issued by the Census Office which
relates to the ownership of farms and homes
in the United States. The comforting fact
appears at the very outset that the land
owners Of the country own more than 80 per
cent. of its wealth. This, it would seem.
ought to be pretty substantial guarantee
against the acceptance by any legislative body,
State or national, of any visionary scheme of
taxation, or communism in property a la Bel
lamy.
The very next item, however, is apt to be
puzzling. 1t is shown that of all the white
owners OF farms and homes II per cent. hold
their property free of mortgage, while OF the
negroes, SO per cent, and of Chinese and
japanese 81 per cent. have property without
encumbrance. The report gives no reason
for this condition of things. but it is easy
enough TO account for it. Neither the negro
nor the Orentals mentioned are imbued with
the spirit of activity, Improvement. and spec
ulation in business that animates the whites,
and if is this fact that contributes most pow
erfully TO the creation of mortgages. 1t is
also remarkable that the percentage not only
of ownership, but free wnership. is slightly
higher for women than it is for men.
In the lfty-eight principal cities ownership
OF homes is nearly as great among the foreign
born as among the natives. or the former
he Germans claim the highest percentage,
80, while the lowest, 6, is credited TO the
Italians. In these same cities women exceed
the men in ownership, % per cent. of the
men being proprietors and of the women 81
per cent. On the other hand, however, when
We read the totals, the figures are reversed,
for the ownership of farms and homes
throughout the country is divided between
the two sexes in proportion OF So per cent. to
the males aud II to the females.
On the whole it is not diseouraging ex-
hibit, for it is doubtful if in any other country,
except perhaps France. there are so many
owners Of homes and farms as there are in
the United States

the Muutercar.

In speaking OF the advertising car,
which was decorated and filled with pro
duce from his irrigated farm, Harry
Hunter says: "'rhe car is meeting with
the greatest success-far beyond my ex-
pectation. 1t is now near Elgir, ILL.,.
and will thoroughly work southern Wis
consin and large parts Of Illinois and
Iowa. We keep five men with the car
all the time and naye registered as high
DIS 500 visitors On a single day. We make
every person register, and then let them
hear from us occasionally, just to show
they are not forgotten, with some OF our
printed matter. The car is beauty and
no mistake. ITS interior arrangement
and display beat anything of the kind
ever put before the people: It goes along
slowly, because it must stop a day and
sometimes two or three days in nearly
every point of any size. We shall so ad-
vertise irrigation in South Dakota by

In reviewing the increase in indus
trial activity in New England under the
operation Of the Wilson tariff act, the
New York Mercury remarks: 1t is said
that the building permits issued in
Hartford, Conn.,, this year will aggregate
nearly 800, against 500 last year. This
is a remarkable record for city of the
size OF Hartford and New England city
at that.
Hartford had $1,000 inhabitants in
1890 and probably has 5000 now. 1t is
believed to have gained 1900 in popula-
tion during the last ten months, and
newcomers are said to be docking in
now in greater numbers than at any
time in recent years.
Hartford is hive OF industry, and has
perhaps, more capital invested in manu-
featuring than has any other city in the
country OF like size. Its industries are
wonderfully diversified, and it Is to the
demand for skilled labor il, them that
the unusual growth in population is due.
Many old established plants are being
increased in capacity and travellers pass
ing through the city will be struck by
the number OF large factories OF one kild
and another that may be seen in process
of erection. Hartford evidently isn'i

I.egisratiye Appoin,,nent.

Howard Press:-The Volga Tribune
thinks 1t requires an amendment Of the
constitution to permit a reduction in
the number of legislative districts but
1t doesn't. The constitution provides
that the number Of members of the house
OF representatives shall not be less than
seventy-ive nor more than one hundred
thirty-fiye, and that the number of sena-
tors shall not be less than twenty-five
nor more than fortY-five. Tho same in
strument declared until otherwise pro-
vtded by law" the number Of repre-
sentative districts should be fifty with a
total membership Of the House fixed at
129; the number of senatorial districts
was fixed at forty-one with the member
ship OF the senate at forty-five. Thus the
first legislature under statehood had a
membership of 1869. The Press was tue
first paper to open the campaign for a
reduction in the membership of the
legislature, showing that South Dakota
had legislature larger by nine than
the state Of New York with 6,OOO,-
600 population; Ohio. with 100000 pop
ulation, had 150 members; Wisconsin,
population 100000 population, 1873
members; and so on down the list, only
one state, Qllinois, 2o4) having at that
time a larger membership in its legisla-
ture than South Dakota. The other new
states that came into the Union at the
same time South Dakota was admitted
were. Washington, with q legislative
membership Of 1G5: Montana, II; North
Dakota, SO.
The campaign for smaller legislative
representation was taken up aud pushed
all along the line, Lieutenant Governor
Fletcher especially champloned the idea
The legislature OF 81 reduced the mem.
bership to tie present number, to-wit
A senators and SO representatives. The
bill was known as Senate Bill No. 60
and was introduced early IN the session
by Senator Preston, of Dawson. As the
bill passed the senate it provided for a
senate membership Of 35, and house
membership of 80. Itcame near being
knocked out altogether in the fusion
House but public sentiment was so
strong that the House passed the bill a
few days before adjournment but
amended it to read, senators AZ, instead
of 3d."
The constitution requires that the
next legislature shall make re-appor-
tionment and III the opinion Of the Press
the membership Of tho house should be
reduced to the minimum provided by the
constitution, to-wit: seventy-five mem
bers; while the membership Of the senate
could be reduced to thirty five without
impalring its efficiency or endangerlng
the public veal.

A local correspondent sent in some hot
stuff to the Brookings individual last
week. Here is an excerpt from it: Now
how does the Republican party on that,
ask who you will aud they can't tell you
for the reason the party never came out
plain on that question. The leaders of
the party in this state as we'll as in other
states come out in the state conventions
with some high sounding phrases that
no one can understand just how they
stand and they will keep to those tactics
in the future. At their next state con-
vention they will have something like
this: We are In favor OF bimetallism
under an international agreement. Why
don't they come out for or against, so
common people can understand what
they mean? No, they can fish with two
hooks. What are we to Think Those
who were present at the joint discussion
between Philo Hall and Jenkins last fall
will remember hearing our own great
Philo say the Republican party is now
and always has been in favor Of free
coinage of silver. This fall Bro. G..
Allen of the Brookings Press came out
saying the Republican party never has
been and probably never will be in favor
OF free coinage Of silver. 1t would be
well ii the Republican council at their
next session would agree MS to what
their party is for or against or the people
might get the impression that some of
our Republican statesmen are doing
pretty tall lying. The man who is in
favor of free coinage of silver and still
votes the Republican ticket has less
sense than God gave geese.

better exhibit than any county made at
the Sioux City corn palace of everything
with the single exception of corn. They
have some good corn with the car. but
most Of it is from the small varieties,
and 1t is apt to leave the impression that
South Dakota cannot raise the hest corn
on earth which it can and does. This
is partly why want you to send NE
samples of the corn they raise in Brule
county. The grain and vegetable di s.
