Among the factors tending TO bet

GROWTH OF WEALTH PER
CAPITA.
Doctrine that the Poor Are Growing

Doctrine that the Poor Are Growing
Poorer shown to BE False.
(From the Los Angeles Times)
In 1920 the savings banks of the
United States held $1,l3S.576. This
was poor country then compared with
COW. The amount was only an average
of IL cents for the population OF that
tine. That amount of average economy
was very small.
Now the people OF this country have
$1,000, S78,945 in savings banks This
Is an average for the whole population
of this time of over $40 The actua'
depositors have an average OF $40 to
their ccedit In 1920 only $685. per.
sons IL the country were rich enough 10
have savings bank account. Now
there are S,5SS,S11.
When James Buchanan, the last
Democratic President In a long line
went into office, there was about $780,
100000 in the savings banks of the
United States. BY 1870, after fighting
out the great war, the people, under
Republican rule for twenty years. Lad
$550000,000 In the savings banks. When
the next Democratic President took his
seat in 1888, the savings of the people
had passed the billion point. BY 1898
the savings had doubled again.
So there IL Is. In 1920 there were
only about 5000 people rich enough to
have savings hank accounf Nov
there are over 100000. In 1920 the
savings were II cents per capita; now
they are over $40.
That the poor grow poorer and the
rich richer In this country is as true
az any other Populistic notion.

III Means County
Prohibition
An Attempt to Force Statewide Pro.
hibition Upon South Dakota
by Subterfuge Named
County Option.


state Is making an aggressive fight
for the so-called county option law,
which will be voted on November Sd,
in the shape of an amendment to the
present law. The argument which is
being used by the county optionists,
particularly among the farmers, Is
that the proposed amendment is a
farmers rights bill and gives them
the right to decide whether or not
saloons shall exist in their county.
This is not true. The amendment is
not a farmers rights bill. 1t is a
prohibition bill. 1t does not give the
farmers, or anyone else for that mat
ter, the right to vote whether or not
saloons shall exist in their county.
Under the amendment, If it be-
comes a law, the whole county will
vote on the license question, and If
the county, as whole, votes mo Ii
cense," then no license can issue any
where within the county; but if the
county, as a whole, votes in favor of
license, the vote does not count-it
does not make the county wet" Ii
censes cannot be granted in cities or
villages within that county unless
they again vote locally in favor of
license just as they do now under
the present law.
Hence, there is nothing in the de-
ceptive farmers rights argument.
The farmers can vote county dry"
but they cannot vote it wet" Now,
the right to vote implies choice, but
there is no choice here. Denial Of
choice does not give right--it takes
away right.
The proposed law is prohibition
measure, pure and simple. 1t means
prohibition, groggeries and blind
pigs, with all their attendant evils
and costs of prosecutions, of which
this state once had taste under the
old prohibition law.
Read what the leaders of the Anti
Saloon League say:
On Feb. %, 1908, Purley A. Baker,
national superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, said: Prohibition
of the liquor traffic everywhere in
this country is the end toward which
we hope and labor"
Bishop L. B. Wilson, president of
the Anti-Saloon League of America.
says in American ISSUE" the ma
tional organ of the league: There
need be no misunderstanding of our
purpose by either friend or foe. We
seek the suppression of the traffic in
strong drink as a beverage, whether
the place where it is dispensed be
legalized or unlegalized."
Now, let us have reconciiement
of the argument on the one hand,
that the amendment is a farmers
rights bill designed to give the peo-
pie right to decide whether or not
saloons shall exist in their county,
and their platform on the other
hand, that they propose to suppress
the traffic, whether the place where
1t Is carried on be legalized or unle-
galized.
