enough to give me your views upon
this unique en.errp,se7 Respectful
y,
ssJulius T. Hirsch.
The governors sent the following
reply toaight:
Replying 70 your esteemed T.
vor. BEG 70 say ! think this social
ed elevation Of the colored race is
al nonsense, and when you do 50
you are helping TO elevate them 70
the peniteatiary. ! think the Negro
would do much better It Booker
~
Washington and Andrew Carnegie,
with their so.called philantrophy,
would let them alone, q they have
Eotten along very well without the
assistaace Of these people. Ever
since they tried to elevate the race
and educate them in the commercial
pursuits al life the Negro has been
troublesome. His natural place IS
il the field, where his activities and
usefulness IS greatest, and where he
would rena!n perfectly contented It
such disturbing elements a. the
scheme which you set out in your
letter would not give him false
conception Of his position. Ny
views are decidedly against this pro-
position. Yours veay truly,
'Jeff Davis, Governor"
After one has read such letter
IS this one that Gov. Davis has
written especially coming from what
is supposed 70 be the better class Of
whites The chief executive Of a com
mon wealth. II makes the colored
youth feel that there is no hope, no
opportunity for him 70 exercise his
talent and prove his true worth and
good virtues. Il really seems that
there still lives within the South land
some more Of the Tillman stripe.
Wonder If Gov. Davis ever reflects
that there are hundreds Of whites
educated il the penitentiary 8 Grim !
inals, should they stop educating the
whies race on that account. Then
Gov. Davies says, that the Negro
has been troublesome ever since
they have tried to educate and eIe--.
vate them. Troublesome in what
way9 Isit because heis Intelligent
enough to know and demand hrs
rights Is any citizen should? Or
III, he become Gov. Davis equal or
even superior in education anu re-
finement. Geo. Washington fought
for the Governors freedom, Abra-
ham Lincoln contended for freedom
10 the slaves, 50 NOW We al are free
and ought TO be equal be- ore God
and The laws. Then Mr.. Davis says
..ais natural place is in the fields
ect. We would like to know who
decreed that edict? And by what
authority Ne makes that statement :rn'': s'
This Is what hurt men with views
like Davis. Many Of our race has
the commercial and financ-
ial and professional pursuits Of life
hence he il ! competator and they
become jealous and envious Of him.

IOWA DEPOSITS ARE Big.
Banks Report Enormous Gains in Last
Ten Years.

Davenport leads Ottumwa and every
other city in Iowa in per capita wealth
as indicated by bank deposits. In ten
years deposits in Iowa state banks
have increased from $42000,000 to
1929, 100000 The national and private
institutions in the same period haW
had like experience. Deposits of tha
three classe at the close of 1902 ars
given as S250,o00,00O, against $65,000,-
600 ten years before.
The multiplication of the states
bank deposits by four, i'll a period in
which population has increased only
IL per cent, has had an important eff
feet on financial affairs in the state.
Iowa is no longer a debtor state.
1t loans money where it once borrow
ed it. When Wall street feels panicky
and wants money at fancy rates Iowa
cities can send it, and in the last two
years they have sent immense
amounts of it.
Iowa has not many rich men, and it
has few poor ones There are more
banks in this state than in any other.
The empire state has four times the
population of Iowa, and many times
the wealth, but Iowa has 200 more
banks than New York. Every cross
roads in Iowa seems to have bank;
village of 600 will have two of them,
and Des Moines with $4,000 population
has fourteen banks besides trust COM
panies and insurance concerns.

population. has the largest per capita

has over $S,Q00,OO0 deposits; altogeth-

Having paid off ita own farm mort

Outside of Wall street it may bA
doubted if there is population any
where in the country more devoted to
speculation than Iowa people. They
know land and land bargains by in
stlnct.lowa money can be counted on
to get to new agricultural region
just before the boom. In the last three
years Iowa has invested in South Da-
kota many millions; in Minnesota
probably even more; in Nebraska and
Kansas Iowa money and people have
been pioneers.
In the last year and half Iowa
capital has been going to Manitoba
and the northwest territory. Alberta
and Assinaboia have drawn people by
the trainloads and money by the hun
dreds of thousands from Iowa. The
movement apparently is destined to
reach the proportions almost of mi
grafton, unless financial conditions
discourage it.
