THE PUIssANT WEST.
rF'rom the Des Moines Capital

lErOm the DeS MoineS Capital.
There are those in certain portions of
the east who still find themselves un-
able to grasp the fact that the west"
has come to mean something definite,
large and powerful in the general esti-
mate OF the resources of the nation.
These, however, are becoming fewer in
number all the while Allowances for
eastern conservatism will proba bly, long
have to be made, but concessions are
more frequently noted among eastern
newspapers, and more often heard
among eastern people, than they We're
a few years ago. That portion of the
map which lies beyond the Mississippi
river is well worth all the study which
the people are willing to give it. In the
current issue of Worlds Work is found
most significant compilation of facts
illustrative of the rapid gain which the
trans Mississippi states have made in
during the past few years.
There are 20 states and four terri
tories west of the Mississippi river not
counting Alaska or Hawaii. They en-
continent. This area holds 80 per cent
of our population, whose representa-
tives cast As per cent of the votes in
the senate and 35 per cent of the votes
in the house.
This area has so per cent of the rail-
way mileage and "a per cent of the
property value of all the states, assess
able for taxation purposes. In addition
to this, this trans Mississippi territory
produces Al per cent of the total agri-
cultural products of the United States
from farms representing 81 per cent of
the total farm values.
In two decades the general tendencies
of western growth have been such that
the center of population has been
transferred from Ohio to Indiana; the
center of farm values from eastern In
diana to eastern Illinois, and the cen-
ter of the farming area from eastern
Illinois to central Missouri.
Twenty years ago the center of the
manufacturing industry was in west
ern Pennsylvania; today it is in CEN
tral Ohio. The center of the farm in
come rests today upon the Mississippi
river; and, while land values have de-
clined in New England, in the west
they have increased more than 100 per
cent.
In 1880. when the senate had but &C
members, the west cast 81 per cent of
the total votes. At the present time
when the senate has 80 members, the
west has 10 per cent of the votes.
No new senators can be added from
the eastern states, but when the terri |
