It has been found through some
peculiar method of reasoning that
three members of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections are in
sufficient to handle the business OF
the various institutions under Its
control. This has been discovered
only recently, however. The present
board of three members with a sec
rotary has accomplished the work in
a very successful manner and they
have not had to work very hard
either. The board has been increas-
ed to five members by action of the
legislature. OF course the reason CIV
en- was because of the great amount
of work entailed in looking after the
institutions. That might be correct
but it looks more like that obliga-
lions were being paid off through the
state treasury than of any necessity
for o efficient handling of the in
istitutions. The cry of reform and
economy is being stifed by the NIGH
ty desire for a job, and we regret that
the state is made the lamb that must
yield the wool.

III let her go into the hardware de-
partment and pick out the best range
we have. And just for good meas
ure, suppose you tell your wife that
she can also pick out enough kitchen
utensils to entirely refurnish your
kitchen. Now I'll give you that-all
of that for 600 bushels of corn. In
'94 the same amount of corn got
you just the wagon. That's a fair
proposition, isn't it?"
h farmer vas stunned.
"Ill just work this out in figures
and show you what you are get
ting continued the dealer. Well
put the wagon down at $40; the
self-binder at $125, and that'l1 get
you a beauty: the surrey at 1925;
the kitchen range at $50, and that
certainly ought to be a peach; and
the kitchen utensils at $50. and that
ought to buy a few. Add that to-
gether and you have 1920. Multi
ply 600 bushels Of corn at 20 cents
a bushel and you have $500"
The farmer dug up his $40 for
the wagon without saying another
word and motioned to the dealer to
join him at the cigar stand for a

If there remains in the mind of
anyone a lingering doubt of the wis
dom Of congress in making the Cen
sus office a permanent bureau, it
should be dispelled by a perusal of
the directors report, just issued.
All the more by contrast with some
other departments of the govern
ment, the Census Bureau shines as
IN example of efficiency and econom-
ical administration in the handling
of a greater public work. Heretofore,
because of the increase in popula-
ton from one decade to another,
each new censu has cost about one
half more than which Immediately
proceeded it.. That which will be
taken in 1910 however, the director
estimates will cost little if any more
than the one taken ten years ago,
and this in spite of the fact that there
has not only been the usual increase
in population, but an especially large
increase among immigrants. a class
difficult and expensive to enumerate.
This great saving-about $4,000 900
'nireau is now a permanent organiza-
tion. which has been brought to a
high state of efficiency. There will
be no loss of time getting started, or

WHAT THE STATE DEBT Is.

Iroquois Chief: Recently, Repre-
sentative Whiting of Sanborn coun-
ty, introduced a resolution in the
house calling upon the state treas
urer for a statement of the financial
condition Of the state on February
10, 1909, and a like statement for
the same date two and four years
previous. In compliance with this re-
solution the state treasurer filed a
detailed statement with the legisla-
ture. which, cutting out the details.
shows the following interesting sit
uation:
February 10, 1909-Net floating
debt, $84S.22O.49.
February 10, 19O7-Net floating
debt, $225,93O.OO.
February 10, 19O5-Net floating
debt, $4O1, 10000.
From this statement it will be seen
that the floating debt was cut down
during Governor Elrod's administra-
ton from $4Ol, 10000 to $25o,930.-
W vi a oCClCdSC VI INC uCOG VI liz
$4,000. 1t will also be noticed that
during Governor Crawford's admin
istration the state debt was incfeas-
ed from $255,,63O.OO to $S42,22O.-
80, or a balance on the wrong side
of the ledger during the two years of
$592,290.49.
In other words, Elrod's admins
tration, aside from cleaning up the
bonded debt, in two years decreased
the floating debt nearly $150,G0O.
Crawford's administration, in two
years increased the floating debt
nearly s6OO,0OO.0O. These figures
are official and they are not reprinted
in these columns in an 81 told you
so before the primaries spirit, but
solely for the purpose of ~endeavoring
for the purpose on endeavoring to i'm
press on the legislature the necessity
of economy. To spend $600,000.0O
every biennial period more than is
received into the treasury would
soon place this state in an unenvi-
able position; and We sincerely hope
that if the legislature persists in
shutting it's eyes and wildly APP
propriating money regardless OF the
existing situation, that Governor
Wesley will veto every bill that con-
tains an unnecessary expenditure.

MI. Bryan is predicting in an ar
ticle In Munsey,s Magazine that the
house OF representatives will be
democratic in 1910, and discusses
the policies or his party at great
length, under the heading "The Flu
ture of the Democratic Party Some
quotations from his article indicates
that Bryan does not think that Presi-
dent-alect Taft can possibly satisfy
the expectations of both elements of
the republican party. He thinks
that Taft cannot escape conflict with
these. factions and Bryan is of the
opinion that the democrats will come
along and pick UP enough of the re-
mains, to make a democratic victory
In 1910 The optimistic view of the
democratic leader will not set the
democratic heart on fire to n great
extent. He has sounded these help

years; his friends have travelled

The editorial association express
ed its strong disapproval of a meas
ure pending in the legislature to re-
quire the railroads to publish their
in all newspapers of the
state. The editors do not feel that
they require the assistance of the
legislature to secure business for
their publications and that it is a
matter which concerns the railroads
alone, that if they want to publish
their timecards or do any other adj
vertising they can very easily do so.
The legislature assumed to dictate
just how the newspapers and the
railroads should conduct their adj
vertising business two years ago with
the result that the newspapers were
made to suffer to a certain extent and
just what benefit has been derived
by the state is not as yet apparent.

on one committee; that at another

to be at home a part of the time at

Ed Madison,s Story

1 The Kansas City Journal: Con-
gresham Ed Madison tells a story
in his campaign speeches that ought
to max even the old goddess Of pros
perity smile. He %recounts the fact
that back in 1894 and for two years
after, corr sold in Kansas for 10
cents a bushel. In other words, a
man had to raise a bushel of corn
for the price of a shave. Today corn
is selling at 20 cents a bushel.
Back in '94 a farmer bought a
farm wagon in Hutchinson for $50.
1t was a good farm vehicle and the
farmer wa. of the kind who took
care of his property. The other day
he came back to the same Hutchinson
dealer and said he wanted to buy
another wagon just like the one he
got in '94. "It was a good one," he
said. That's the reason 1 want an
other. How much are you going
to charge me-"
The dealer reflected a moment and
then asked: II think you paid $50
for that wagon, didn't you?"
That's. right" said the farmer.
1T will cost you $40 now," said
the dealer.
Distinctly surprised, the farmer be-
gan to object and then demanded the
reason.
WELL" said the dealer, 1.-The ma
%terial, like lumber and iron and steel
has advanced in price and 1t costs
me more now to buy them. The tar
III probably las something to do with
1t, too"
At the mention Of the word "tar-
If" the farmer went straight up in
the air. He began to expound
against the theory of the whole
thing.
The dealer let him run along a
while and then asked again: "Say,
when you bought that wagon from
me in '94. 1 think you paid for 1t
in corn. if I remember rightly,
didn't you?"
81 did," said the farmer, .'but
what has that to with it?"
You had to give me 600 bushels
of corn for that wagon, didn't you?'
asked the dealer again.
II did, said the farmer, after re-
calling in his own mind that corr
was only selling at 10 cents a bushel
in those days.
Tell you what you do said the
dealer, you bring me in 600 bushels
of corn tomorrow, and I'll give you
this wagon-"
WE'LL, say, hold OH began
the farmer.
The dealer interrupted him in
turn. But hat isn't ALL" he said.
In addition to the wagon I'll let
you and your wife so over in the
warehouse and pick out a surrey
Then you go and pick out the best

A farmer out near Plankinton who
is something of a progressive repub-
lican, but has some sense of justice
that is due the railroad proposition,
was in court the other day and the
conversation between cases naturally
turned on the work of the legisla-
ture and the way both bodies were
going after the railroads. This old
farmer cogltated a bit, and finally
said, Well, l think the legislators
have missed one thing in making
these railroads come to time and
that is they ought to make the frogs
croak at the railroad switches on
the approach Of trains. That is about
as sensible as some of the railroad
laws that have been passed so far"
And the old farmer found something
of a sympathizing crowd.

Aberdeen is quoting its population
at the present time as $4,000, which
information is supplied by a new
directory that has just been issued.
Aberdeen is justly ambitious, but it
ought not put it's population SO high
when the next state census is only
two years away. A directory census
can always be viewed with some hes
itancy for its accuracy, and we are
inclined to think that Aberdeen
would have to. rustic exceedingly
hard to produce those 10000 peo-
pie If it were necessary.

Senator Dillon, of Yankton, is a
little to strong on the reform propo-
sition even for the ~progressives out
at Pierre. Dillon has a pretty good
idea of the money that is going to
waste in the matter of clerk hire and
several other ways in which the mon
ey leaks out. He has already intro
duced a measure which will have the
effect of stopping a good portion of
the leakage. His bills, however, got
slowed away in the committee and
it did not look like they were COM
ing Out again. The Yankton senator
commenced to stir things up and de-
manded to know why his bills we're
bills covered the point of writing up
the proceedings of the senate and
house after the bodies had adjourned.
| Written out in longhand has usually
taken the clerk of the senate and
house most of the summer to finish,
and 1t has cost the state a good sum
Of money. Senator Dillon's bill pro-
vides that the permanent record Of
both houses shall be made from
the printed journal, which will do
away with the long hand process
that has been in vogue for years.
Notwithstanding the fact that Sena-
tor Dillon's methods will be the
means of saving large sums of money
to the state. his progressive republic
can friends are fighting his measure
simply because 1t removes the poss-
ibility Of landing a few friends in
clerkship Jobs that pay a nice little
sum for a couple Of months every
two years. BY his retrenching meas
ure Dillon will do away with quite
a few clerks in committees and their
places supplied by men or women who
can operate a typewriter to increase
the rapidity of business and present
1t in a more legible name We
hope that the Dillon measure will
find support and that they will pass.
