|DAHO'S STATE DEBT
BUREAU OF THE CENSUS AT
WASHINGTON, D. C. ISSUES
LATE BULLETIN.
COMPILED FROM YEAR 1880 TO 1918
Data Secured BY J. L. Coulter, Expert
Special Agent-State Proves to
Be Rich One, But Population
Contain .04 of u. S.

Preliminary figures from the forth
coming bulletin pertaining to national
and state indebtedness and funds and
investments have been given out by
Director w. ]. Harris, of the Bureau
of the Census, Department of Com
merce. The bulletin carries information
for the state of Idaho. The data were
compiled under the supervision of Mr.
John Lee Coulter, expert special agent
in charge of the inquiry on Wealth,
Debt, and Taxation.
The bulletin, which will soon be
issued, will contain statistics for each
year from 1890 to 1913, inclusive, and
will also contain details for the year
most nearly corresponding to 1880,
thus making it possible to show the
general movement during the period
of over 80 years
Bonded Indebtedness.
An inspection of the tables for Idaho
in the bulletin soon to be issued shows
that only biennial reports were obtain
able. The amount of the bonded in
debtedness increased from S147,000 in
1890 to $2,364,0O0 in 1912, while the
floating debt, though changing greatly
during the period covered, showing
a general decrease from $4,000 in
1890 to $4,000 in 1912.
In the case of funds and invest
ments no statistics were available for
the securities held in 1908 and 1910.
No securities we're reported until
1894; the 100000 in this year fell to
$50 in 1896, increasing steadily there
after until 1912, when they amounted
to S4,000,00 The cash shows a gen
eral increase from $4,000 in 1890 to
S1,2S2,0 900 in 1912.
The sinking ,fund assets increased
from $21, 900 in 1890 to 100000 in
1912, and consequently the debt less
sinking fund assets was less for each
year reported than the total debt. The
population more than quadrupled dur
ing the period, but this was not suffi
cient to offset the increase in per cap
tia indebtedness, which, while fluctu
ating to a marked degree with eacf
year reported, shows a general in
crease from S2.45 in 1890 to S5.92 II
1912
State Debt Grows.
In 1880 the total debt of Idaho at the
close of the fiscal year, December 81
was $S3 1000; in 1912 it was $2,451, 200
increase due to constantly increased
bond issue. The population of thu
state increased from $4,000 in 1880 t.
1862, 900 in 1912; the increase, however
as stated above, was not sufficient Il
offset the increased bond issue, there
fore the debt per capita more thai
doubled during this period. In 1873
the per capita debt was $2.54; in 1879
it was SPAS; in 1902 the amount wa
reduced to S1.65, increasing to $50
in 1912.
Per Capita High.
In contrast with the state of Idaho
we find that, taking the entire deb
(less sinking fund assets) for the 4
states, the per capita, according to tn
latest renort is S352 or 50 40 les

SHOT AT MAYOR OF NEW YORK
But the Bullet Hit the Corporation
Counsel Instead.

Counsel Instead.
New York.-In an attempt to take
the life of Mayor John Purroy Mitchell
Friday, Michael P. Mahoney, an ap-
parently irresponsible, elderly man,
who later said he was a blacksmith
out of work, fired into a group of three
men seated in the mayors automobile,
which stood at the east side of City
Hall park.
The bullets from his revolver en-
tered the jaw of Corporation Counsel
Frank L. Polk, who was sitting next to
the mayor in the tonneau of the auto
mobile. With blood squirting from his
mouth, Mr.. Polk was taken into the
city hall and afterward to the New
York hospital, where it was said the
wound would not prove fatal.

Per Capita High.

In contrast with the state of Idaho,
we find that, taking the entire debt
(less sinking fund assets) for the 4S
states, the per capita, according to the
latest report, is 1882, or $2.40 less
than the per capita debt of Idaho.
Comparing the increase in the per
capita debt of Idaho with the decrease
in the per capita debt of the total for
the As states, we find more than an
inverse ratio, the total amount of in
crease for Idaho being 1888 for the
the SO-year period, while in the aver
age for the 4S states the decrease was
$1.96, or slightly more than half the
increase for Idaho.
At the present time about O.4 per
cent of the total population of the
United States will be found in the
State of Idaho, and O.6 per cent of
the total debt Qess sinking fund
assets) is attributed to the state.

SLOW TO COME ON.
Business Men Are Showing Little
Interest in Trust Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 2.=President Will
son is surprised at the lack of re-
sponses from business men to the In
vitation for suggestion on trust legfs-
lation and that SO few have accepted
the invitation to appear at congress
sional hearings. The president does
not know whether the business men of
the country approve the tentative
measures as drawn, or whether they
have not yet taken notice of the hear
ings.
When it was suggested to the presi-
dent today that business men might
fear being branded as ''lobbyists," if
they came to- Washington in that con-
nection, Mr.. Wilson laughingly re-
marked that no one could be regarded
as lobbyist who came by invitation.
President Wilson regards it as uni
versaIy agreed that there should be
some restrictions to prevent what is
known as assisted immigration" He
has not yet announced his position on
the literacy test feature Of pending
immigration bills and indicated today
that he would not do so until consult
ed by leaders in congress. The senate
committee on immigration has an
nounced that it will seek the presi-
dents advice in the matter.
The president has been giving audi
ence of late to many interested in that
phase Of immigration legislation and
there IL said to be some ground for
the belief that he may suggest certain
notifications in the 1iteracy test, as
now proposed.
