IOWA FIGURES LOW:
STATE CENSUS RETURNs SHOW
GREAT DECREASE.
Rural Population Of Hawkeye Com
monwealth Wanes-Beef Trust
! and Costly Farm Land Is
Given as the Cause,

Des Moines, lathe returns from
the state census indicate a startling
decline in the rural communities, and
while some of the larger towns have
shown an increase, it is likely that
the population of the state will be less
than five years ago.
One of the reasons ascribed for the
revealed condition is that land values
have increased so rapidly and to such
an extent that the young man wishing
to pursue agriculture as vocation can
not afford to settle here when the north
and the west offer lands for small
portion of the cost that he would have
to pay in Iowa. 1t is practically out
of the question for him to buy farm
that sells from SIS. to $125 per acre.
This valuation, too, places the rentals
almost at prohibitive figure. High
rentals must be secured by the owners
to secure interest on their investment.
Another reason which seems feasible
to some is that the beef trust has
manipulated the markets to such an ex-
tent that there has been little or no
profit during the past three years in
raising and fattening stock. Live stock
has been one of the big items of profit
in Iowa in bygone years. Simultaneous
with this has been adverse crop condi-
tions of two or three years. High water
has made the lowlands untillable, and
heavy rains at the wrong seasons have
injured the crops on the uplands.
In counties where agriculture is the
only source of revenue, the decline in
population is most marked. Monona
county shows a decrease of between
1000 and 1,500 from the census Of
1900; Buchanan county shows de-
crease of 5000, and other agricultural
counties report similar losses.
The only thing that offsets and par
TALLY reduces the slump is in the larger
cities, where manufacturing interests
are securing control.
There are heated controversies In
several states on account of provisions
of the state liquor law. This pro-
vides that in towns of less than 5000
population the c4psent of 60 per cent
of the voters of the county in which
it is located must be secured before
liquors can legally be sold. In towns
of more than 5000 the consent of the
majority of the voters of the town only
is needed.
Many towns of the state have a pop.
ulatien of either a little more or a
little less than 5000. The prohibition
element is watching the census closely
lest it be Stuffed" in order to make
the town pass the 5000 mark. They
allege that the liquor element is will
ing to Derpetrate fraud in order tc
secure the liquor-selling advantage.

: LAWS HIT THEIR MAKERS.
Minnesota Legislators Are Accused
Of Violating Statutes They
Put Through.

st. Paul, Minn.-Some of the state
legislators have recently had a prac-
tical demonstration 'of the efficacy OF
laws which they helped to pass. They
have been caught by the legislation OF
their own making.
A few days ago prominent Mime
sofa farmer, who served one or two
terms in the state legislature and took
especial interest in the protection OF
game and fish, was fined $25 on a
charge of fishing for bass out of sea-
son. The former legislator paid the
fine without remonstrance Some OF
his companions said that they were
not fishing for bass, but that one OF
the fish got on the hook by accident
The former legislator, however, did
not make this excuse.
Not many months ago a representa-
tive, who as merchant took especial
interest in the law protecting legit.
innate dealers against box car mer-
chants, was fined on a charge of SELL
ing baking powder and spices that
were below grade. This representa-
tive, it is said, helped frame the dairy
and food law and he is now convinced
that the law covers the ground,
A state senator who lives in the
Second congressiona4a: district got
caught in a similar manner. His hob
by in the senate was to require milk
dealers to secure milk LICENSES After
he had helped pass such law and had
gone home he was notified by the state
dairy and food commissioner that il
he did not take out license fog per-
mission to sell milk to neighbor
across the road from his house the
commission would prosecute him. He
took out license the next day.

SO interested in the presentation that

every success, and have no doubt your
