IOWA THE RICHEST
So Declares Dr.. Newell Dwight
Hills in Des Moines Address
EMINENT DIVINE BORN IN IOWA
The Farmers Are Richest People In
the World, He Says-cannot Set
tie Great Problems at Wash
ington Alone.

Des Moines, Nov. 5.-"Young man
don't leave your state, thinking there
is better country in the east OF
west. God Almighty smiled when he
made New York and Seattle, but he
laughed outright with his blessing
when he made the state of Iowa"
Newell Dwight Hills, born at Mag,
nolia, Iowa, delivered this message
to the people of the state at the
Drake auditorium in his lecture on
The America Of Today and Tomor-
row."
DR.. Hills, pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, reiterated Glad
stones prophecy that the keel of the
country, northern Missouri, Iowa. and
southern Minnesota, in the coming
years would have a larger clustering
group of great manufacturing cities
than any other point in the world.
THE day is coming" he said,
when the banking centers of the
world, now situated in London, by
the swing of the pendulum, will
cross to America, keeping as close as
possible to the financial investments.
THE central part of the United
States will be the richest part of the
country. Iowa land will soon be
worth 5000 to $500 an acre. 1t is the
richest land in the world. Six inches
of soil in New York cannot compete
with the three feet Of soil here in
In -
center of population will be moving
west to Des Moines.
II shall always be proud" said DR..
Hills, that Senator Cummins pre-
scented the Iowa idea and insisted up
on reduction of the protective tar
if. Now the whole republican party
is for this reduction.
THE farmers are the richest people
in the United States and are going
to become richer. At the present
time they own IS per cent of the
automobiles.
1--WE are going to settle the rail-
road question because the farmers
will have so much money that they
will own all the railroad stocks.
I'VE cannot settle the railroad
question by legislation at Washing
ton. We cannot change a natural
law by votes. What we want Is 10,-
100000 immigrants to come into the
United States by way Of New Or
leans to dig the irrigation bitches of
the west. BY the New Orleans route,
because the east takes ali those COM
ing by the New York way. With a
town every eight or ten miles, a long
haul of thousand miles through
which country the company gets no
revenue would be done away with.
The shipper then would not have the
cost of that long haul added to his
rates.
This country is safe II every
American whose fathers came to this
country 200 years ago would fall
dead. The public school is the ma
tional stomach for the digestion Of
foreigners.
IF every republican, democrat and
natural born American would die to-
night the foreigners in this country
would see to it that the liberties were
preserved and kept intact"
