For State Printer.

The state printer bill, which: has
been prepared by the printers union
of Sioux Falls, provides for n state
printer who is to be appointed hS the
governor until the mex general cleo
ton. and after that to be elected as
other state officers. The principal
point in the bill is the appropriation
it carries for operating expenses. The.
amount asked is $64,150 for the fiscal
year 1908 and $82,500 for the fiscal
year 1909. The estimates made by
Secretary Wipf for the state printing
under contract for the same time is
$4,000. The bill is enacted would
only make a difference of about $780,
600 for the two years and the same
proportion for following years.

There is reason to believe" contin-

quences of the panic have been limited
to financial circles" and then he dis
cusses the present condition among the

satisfactory; for after seven or. eight
years of uninterrupted prosperity he is
now out of debt and so well situated
financially as to be comparatively in
different regarding any business recess
sion in the United States. Should he
fail to secure good prices at home he is
almost certain of obtaining them
abroad. When it is fully appreciated
that according to the census about 35
per cent of our working population is

the backbone OF the country in spite of

EFFECTS OF THE PANIC.

In his annual review of the financial
| and business affairs of the country
Henry Clews the well informed New
York banker, expresses the opinion that
the depression caused by the financial
panic, from which the people of the
country are so energetically struggling
to emerge, will be felt for a year at
least. 1t Is encouraging to the people
in this section of the country for the
further expression by Mr.. Clews that
it will be felt more in the east than in
any other section Of the country and
by the people who will be best able to
bear it. Such shock as there is will
not be felt to any great extent by the
industrial mercantile and laboring
classes.
while the causes of the panic are
now generally understood" says Mr.
Clews, at may be we'll in taking ac-
count of the past twelve months to
briefly cite the chief reasons. Among
these causes were general overriding;
over-extenslon Of credit; over-specula-
ton; over-issue of securities; great in
dustrial expansion; excessive underwrit-
ing schemes; excessive mining and real
estate speculation; earthquakes at
home and abroad; Japanese and South
African wars; general public extrava-
gance; exhaustion of floating capital
distrust induced by corporate misman-
agement, and finally the hostile atti-
tude of political leaders and legislative
bodies at home, stimulating erroneous
prejudice against wealth. These con-
ditions, however, are now a matter of
history and of little interest except for
the lessons they convey. 1t is of first
Importance to recognize that a COM
plete change of base has taken place;
and that the business world, whether
it likes it or not, must now be active
ly concerned in adjusting itself to new
conditions. We have been suddenly
precipitated from a high level to
lower, and the sooner this vital change
is admitted and conformed to, the
prompter and sounder will be the re-
sumption of business activity. For
tunately the panic fell with greatest
severity upon those best able to bear
it, wealthy institutions and the rich
men being the chief sufferers. Upon the
industrial, mercantile and laboring
classes the shock has been much less
severe; a distinction that it is import
ant to bear in mind. 1t would be folly,
however. to indulge In decisions as to
the final effects of the panic. In great
er or less degree the consequences will
be distributed over all parts of the
country. and it is not unreasonable to
