A REAL HOME COMING.

Missouri seems to have hit upon
capital idea marked by timeliness
which we'll might be pondered favor
ably in Iowa. II has TO do with this
disagreeable subject of loss Of popula
ton. We DO not know that Missouri
is in SO much dread on that subject
as we are here in Iowa. Missouri has
some large cities and probably VIII
show a gain Of population during the
decade, while Iowa is expected to show
a loss or, at best. gain Of negligible
proportions.
Missouri, like Iowa, has suffered by
migration TO Canada. and the present
move OF the Missourtans is 10 take ad-
vantage OF the runored disposition Of
to the dominion 10 come back to Gods
country.
A crusade to bring back to Missouri
the $4,000 to 10000 farmers and mem
bers Of their households who were
lured to other states and western Can
ada by exaggerated stories Of unliIn
tied prosperity supposed 70 exist in
tn ose places, Is advocated by Labor
Commits sioner Hitler, who will take the
fret step in that direction by prepar-
ing appropriate literature which is to
De sent broadcast 10 former Mis-
sourians.
We say, this is an idea, that well
might be acted upon in Iowa. Many
Iowans have gone to Canada. Maybe
numbers of them would like to come
back could they but be sure Of a well
come and could they but know that
they would not be twitted on their mis-
take in ever leaving so fair a land.
The Missouri enthusiast for his home
state calls these emigrants to Canada
''unfortunates, who allowed themselves
to be lured to Canada by the promise
Of immense wheat yields and other
crops, only to learn by actual expert
ence that the winters there We're eight
months long and winter days short and
very cold, the roads snow blocked all
Of the winter, making com munications
with neighbors almost an irnpossibility
with a fierce blizzard lasting three and
four days a weekly affair. and no reg
ular postman to bring letters or news
papers containing inform alton of what
was going on in the world. On top
of all this loneliness and dreariness
came the sad development that the
crops were not as prolific as had been
pictured In the paid-for vividly colored
! and sadly overdrawn write ups on
farm life in far-away western Can
ada. After the first wheat crop had
been harvested came the hard task of
hauling It many miles over bad roads,
! thru wildernesses, to railroad stations
/ only to discover there that the price
paid per bushel was way under what
the farmers had received in good old
Missouri, and that the nearest best
market was England, many thou
sand miles away by land and sea"
This may be as much exaggerated AZ
the lure that took the Missourians
away to the north. but It has some
truth Ia It no doubt.

IOWA ROLLING IN WEALTH.
lDubuaun Times Journal.l


Iowa has lost population since 1899.
but not wealth Back in the days of
Grover Cleveland's last administra-
ton deposits in the savings banks &C
tuallv declined. II was not the fault
of that sturdy president. tho he had
to take the blame for il. The mischief
was caused by the deluded citizens in
the democratic and republican parties
who thought themselves financiers and
threw the country into a panic by de-
manding the free coinage of silver The
depositors did not know what was
coming and deposits in the state and
savings ba INKS dropped from about
$4,000, 900 to about s42.000,00o. Then
President Mckinley came in, CONN.,
dence was restored and the deposits
began to go up. They have been going
up ever since and this week stood at
s250.64s,32s. a gain of s27,479.7s9 in
single year. and this a year OF exploit
alton Of the plain people, the farmers
and wage earners especially, by the
monopolies and trusts. "the system"
"big business" special privilege" and
"the interests" It seems the farmers
and the wage earners ran the gauntlet
and emerged with $3.50, 900, 900 to spare,
which the bankers are holding Tor
them until they find desirable invest
ments.
OF course. this does not tell the
whole story by any means. The gain
IN value Of farm lands far exceeds the
increase in deposits. But this latter
increase itself Is over half the total
deposits fifteen years ago. At that
the savings bank habit IS not devel-
oped in the United States as In Europe.
The average deposit in Europe runs
a. low az 183 and In only ono country
! e.ceeda $3.50. while for Iowa lAst year
the average was 1855. Deposii1 ia
Town exceed 800 per capi<a, while Tor
Europe the highest per capita, SIS. is
lfeunA In Switzerland.

FRANKLIN WITHDRAWS
WITHOUT PAYING TAXES

Guthrie, Okla, June 29.-Oklahoma
is having difficulty in collecting from
the Franklin Life Insurance company
of Springfield. H., the tax on its pre-
MUM receipts in the state of Okla
homa for the year 1909. All companies
when they are licensed are required to
pledge themselves to pay all fees re
quired by the laws of the state. in
Guiding the per cent premium tax
imposed by the constitution.
The Franklin company withdrew
from Oklahoma at the beginning Of
the present year. but refused to make
a statement Of its business for last
year or to pay a premium tax on that
business. The state can not bring
suit to collect the tax, as it is unable
to ascertain the amount of it until a
statement Of last years business is
filed by the company, and the law pro-
vides no penalty for refusal to make
a statement except forfeiture of the
|company's license, which would have
no effect in the present case
Insurance Commissioner Milas Las
ater stated that this was the only
company which had refused to pay on
