The per capita of total indebtedness
was 1859. The corresponding aver

was as follows:
.S62.O4, s65.91, s71.04 and $72.S9. The
per capita Indebtedness in the foul
years increased s13.65, or 90 per cent.
The ne per capita debt, or the total
debt less sinking fund assets increased
druing the same years from s49,l6 to
s6O. 54-an increase of $11.3S, or 23.1 per

than hat of the total Indebtedness. 1t
is instructive to compare these fig

tia Indebtedness, with those previously
given disclosing the increase of per
capita corporate payments.
The cities having a per capita net
indebtedness exceeding 500 numbered
six. They were:
New York, with a net per capita in

Joplin, Mo-, $3.50; Terre Haute, Ind,
$9.13; Portland, Me, 1864; and Little
Rock, Ark, $9.74.
The average interest rate on the pub
lie debts of the 15S cities was, for 1908,
1856 per cent. The eve cities with
lowest average rates were as follows:
Washington, D. c., 3.3; Philadelphia,

What earthly reason can an Iowa
farmer have for voting for a changer"
demands the Clarion Clipper. His
condition was never so enviable. His
land has doubled in value since the
blighting influence Of the last demo-
cratic administration was lifted. He
has seldom received such prices for
hogs and cattle and poultry as he gets
today. The price of oats and corn is
almost unprecedented. The Iowa far
mer was never so prosperous and un-
comfortable as he is today. Why
should he want a change? He doesn't.
