STOTE AND NATIONAL
INDEBTEDNESS

Washington, July 49, THE full re-
port on national and state indebtedness
and funds and investments from 1870 to
1913 has just been issued by the bureau
of the census.
According to the bulletin, the total
debt of the 48 states on June 80, 1913,
amounted to 1922, 796, ,625. Of this total
$403, 366, 500 represented funded debt,
and SIG, 429, 956 represented the floating
debt. OF the funded debt, 1864, s36, ,427
are represented in bonds and $38. $780,
l42 are special debt obligations to pub
lie trust funds.
AS an offsetting item against this to-
tai debt, the 48 states reported $76,-
$50, GIL, in sinking fund assets, leaving
their debt $345, ,942, 3O5. The per capita
debt for the 4S states is $3.67.
In contrast with the debt of the 4S
state governments, the national gov
ernment had total debt on June 20,
1918, of $2,916, ,204 ,914. Of this total,
the funded debt was $3.50. 523, 329,
while the special debt obligation was
81, 573, l67, 1859. The sinking fund assets
or cash in the United States treasury
available for the payment of debt, con-
sisting of accumulated trust funds, gold
and silver silver and general treasury
cash, not only were sufficient to elimin-
ate entirely the special debt obligation
but also to reduce the bonded debt. The
national debt, less cash in the treasury
available for the payment debt, was
only 81, ,o2s, 5e4, ,o55, or a per capita debt
of $10.59.
The net debt of the national govern
ment represents three times the total
net debt of the state governments. OF
the total per capita debt of SID. Is, ma
tional and state, the debt of the nation
al government is $10.59. sr IS per cent,
while the debt of the state governments

PROSPECT is POOR
FOR A SETTLEMENT

Chicago, July 65.-The outlook for
adjustment of the differences between
the 90 western railroads and their
engineers and firemen, is poor despite
the strenuous efforts of the federal
board of mediation.
The meetings have been secret, and
all parties thereto have kept close
the discussions, and all that has oc-
Cured is rot known. But it is known
that the differences are so great that
getting together seems almost impos
sible. However the board has not
yet givenup hope.
Since Monday there have been
daily meetings of the board with the
labor officials and railroad managers,
each meeting separately.
The men seek changes in service
rules and increases in pay, principal.
ly in the overtime schedule and de-
clare their requests are just and rea-
sonable.
The railroad managers insist that
to comply with the requests would
be to increase the present pay rolls
by $S3, 100000
Arbitration of the differences has
peen repeatedly refused by the heads
of the unions on the contention that
in previous cases the railroads have
J OF held themselves bound by the ar
bitration awards.
Nearly $4,000 men are directly con-
cerned in the outcome of the dispute
and much greater number would be
affected should the differences lead to
strike of the employees.

FARMERS HAVE FARED WELL

Argus-Leader: Not counting butter,
eggs. poultry and vegetables, South
Dakoto's crop production this season is
estimated by the South Dakota Millers
association at $3.50, 100000. If the
other items were added, the total would
be well above 100000, 900. This is
slipping along at pretty fair speed for a
state which has population of 67O, 900.
If the next year shall see the right thing
done in silo building and alfalfa plant
ing, the state will enter upon the great
est prosperity of its entire history

With barely speck of ice on the bodies Of water from which the annual supply comes, 1t is not probable that Danielson's ice crop will be secured until some time in January or Febru- aTy. Two weeks of the coldest kind of weather is necessary to make ice of sufficient thickness to make cutting profitable at the Quinebaug lake and from week to ten days in the reser- voir pond at East KillingIy. The ice cut last winter was not secured until well along after the first of the year, however, so there is no great reason to begin worrying yet.
