wealth is more than four hundred times
the amount France received for it. The
figures shown on the map are secured
from United States census reports, and
official reports of the various States.
Where no official reports are obtainable
estimates were obtained from State Off
GERS best qualified to judge. In some
cases, however, even satisfactory esti-
mates were not obtainable and figures
were therefore necessarily omitted. The
returns for taxable wealth do not in all
cases represent the real value of prop
erty. The methods of assessment vary
so greatly that absolute accuracy in COM
putting real values is impossible.

COMPARISON OF PRICES.
Report of Industrial Commission Upon
Four Standard Articles

The Industrial commission has made pub
lie report on wholesale and retail prices
Of illuminating oil. sugar. salt and Royal
Baking Powder in different towns through
out all sections of the country. The COM
mission sent lists of questions regarding
these prices to 5000 retail dealers and re-
cefved 1.57S replies. representing every
state of the Union. The investigation was
entered upon because Of the charge some
times made that various industrial combi-
nations, for the purpose of destroying COM
petition. lower the prices of commodities
produced by them in sections in which com
petitors are seeking : to gain foothold.
while they keep prices at a high level else
where In order to recoup themselves. The
dealers were all asked to give wholesale
prices paid February Is, 1901
There Is much greater difference be-
tween the highest and lowest wholesale
prices within each state and throughout the
country In the case OF oil and salt than in
the case of sugar or baking powder" the re-
port states. 1t should be pointed out. how
ever, that greater differences in the prices
charged to retail dealers for salt and for
oil are to be expected than would be ex-
pected in the case Of sugar and baking
powder. The freight charges to the point OF
consumption bear a much larger proportion
to the cost of oil or salt at the place OF
production than they bear to the cost OF
sugar or of baking powder at the factory.
Oil and salt are much heavier in proportion
to their value than either OF the last-named
articles. A gallon Of oil, which at the CEN
ter of production might be bought at whole
sale for perhaps cents. weighs "a pounds
constructive weight fixed by all railroads..
and a single pound of coarse salt is worth
little more than quarter Of a cent at the
producing plant. On the other hand a sin
gle pound Of sugar sells for or cents at
the factory and a pound Of baking powder
sells at from 30 to 40 cents While oil is
thus a much more bulky commonly in pro-
portion to its value than either sugar or
baking powder. the freight rate charged per
hundredweight does not differ greatly from
that charged for sugar, although it is ma
terlally lower than that for baking pow

CONSOLIDATION OF POSITIONS.

Heads of Training Schools May Be-
come Indian Agents.
The President has amended the civil serv-
ice rules to provide that whenever the posi-
ton Of an agent at any Indian agency
should be discontinued and its duties de-
volved upon the superintendent Of the In
diaE training school located at the agency
the agent may be made classified employe
at the agency. The amendment further
provides that in making this consolidation
the agent may be subjected to such tests of
fitness as the Secretary Of the Interior and
the civil service commission may prescribe
and given any appropriate designation
which the Secretary Of the Interior may
direct.
This action of the President is in line
with the policy pursued in extending metro
politan Offices to cover outlying fourth-class
post offices. Upon the discontinuance of the
small post Office by its merger in the free
delivery Of the large Office the office Is usu-
ally made a station of the large Office and
the postmaster given the position of super
intendent Of the station. Similarly. the
duties OF any Indian agency may devolve
upon the superintendent OF the training
school at the agency whenever the superin-
tendent can properly perform the duties of
the position. The number of Indian agen-
cies has been gradually reduced from fifty
seven in 1893 to fortynine at the present
time. The policy in this respect is describ-
ed by Commissioner Jones in his annual re-
pert, in which he says that the Indians can
not be made an integral part of the body
polite or fitted for citizenship by herding
them on limited areas with separate gov
eminent and feeding them in idleness, but
that they can be thus advanced by giving
the children industrial training, breaking
up their reservations and throwing them
upon their own resources among the white
people.
This is understood to be a part of the
policy in disregarding political considera-
tons in dealing with the Indians, precisely
as such considerations have been disregard
ed in dealing with the Filipinos. The super
fed under the civil service rules, and ap-
pointments to these places are made by the
promotion Of teachers, irrespective Of politi-
cal considerations. The intention is to re-
tain in the classified service such agents as
shall prove their efficiency and ability.
