WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH IOWA?

Iowa? is a new question that
bids fair to rival the historic in
quiry whats the matter with
Kansas?" In the latter the
puzzle is to find out what makes
the Sunfower state so queer.
In the former the problem is this !:
Whydid the population of Iowa re-
main stationary from 1870 to 1900,
sag off a little in the next de-
cade and decrease approximately
5000 in the last four years and
this in the face of the fact that
the adjoining states and all states
of the west made gains in popu-
lation?
Naturally this decline in a rich
state like Iowa, one Of the agri-
cultural leaders of the Union,
has aroused much comment and
speculation. Most of the ex-
plantations advanced have been
mere guesswork. In the east,
for instance, the newspapers as
sumo that it is caused by the
supposedly hostile attitude of the
people of Iowa toward railroads
and corporations.
Wallace's Farmer of Des
Moines has taken the trouble to
make some Investigations of it's
own. 1t finds that the cities Of
Iowa have made creditable gains;
that the population Of the farms
has decreased % per cent while
that of towns has increased 14.5
per cent; that in the ten years
between 1900 and 1910 the pop
ulation of eleven Of the state S
best agricultural counties de-
creased about 10000.
1t also finds a similar decrease
in the population of rich agricul-
tural counties outside of Iowa, as
follows: Atchison county, Mis-
souri,, from 16, sol to 13, GOA; De-
Kalb, Missouri, from 14,418 to
IL, 531; Brown, Kansas, from
%, 1863 to q, 314; Doniphan, Kan
sas, 1909 to Ia, 422; Ogle, ILL.,
nois, from 20, 1923 to q, 1864; Fill
more, Minnesota, from %, 238 to
Is, $50. Its conclusion is, there.
fore, that whatever is the mat
ter with Iowa is also the matter
with counties of similar land ano
similar agriculture in other states
in the corn belt.
What, then, is the matter
with Iowa?" asks Wallace s
Farmer. And it answers, mo
thing, except that it has more
good corn land per square mile
than any other state in the In
ion. The population of corn lane
sections necessarily decreases az
the country grows older, ane
that for purely economic reasons
as we will endeavor to explain tx
our friends who are mourning
over the sad conditions of the
state of Iowa."
This proposition is bolstered ul
by the contention that in grow
ing corn anything smaller thar
the 160-acre farm is compare
lively improbable; hence the
disappearance of the small farm
and the family that lived on it
In the decade ending with
1910 Iowa lost $1,000 farms o:
from 20 to 100 acres and with
them a population of about 85,
600; the farms of 100 to liza acre:
about held their own, and the
larger farms increased 1900 ir
number. There has been no de-
crease in acreage under cultiva
ton. 1t is simply better farm
management.
This may or may not explain
the Iowa conditions. Our owr
opinion is that Iowa farmers
have sold out and moved tt
places where land was cheaper

Princess Wenona, the little Sioux
sure-shot with Miller Bros G Airing
tons "101-Rranch" Wild West show,
which exhibits in Americas Saturday,
Nov. Z, has had remarkably adven-
turous life, even for an Indian.
Wenona was born at the Pine Ridge
agency, South Dakota, was captured
with her mother by band Of renegade
Creeks and carried across the interna-
tional line into Canada; was kept a
prisoner until she was ten years old ;
was rescued by a band of rowing Ban
nocks and ultimately found her way
back to her own tribe; was sent to the
Carlisle Indian school and received a
liberal education; was thrown from a
pony on her return to the reservation
and was so nearly killed that the old
SquaWS were preparing 10 cndnC IoI
her; was decreed by the old chief, Gray
Eagle, to wed his son, Soaring Elk, but
had other views and eloped with viii.

who has since become a chief and ha!
won great success in the "101 Ranch

tribe in order to evade the wrath of tn
| old chief, and finally wandered to thu

PERTINENT FACTS FOR COMPARE.
SON.

Appropriations by democratic con-
gress now, one billion dollars. That
is $40 for each person in United
States.
Excess over Republican appropria-
tions 100 millions. That is 81 per
capita.
Pork bill and other administration
measures proposed would have added
another 81 per capita.
"Wr tax" to make up tariff deficit
good for another 81 per capita.
The capitol extension tax is only
20 cents each on an average.
Democratic policies practically APP
piled by the chosen leaders of the
democratic party have already cost
the people OF Iowa nearly as much as
the entire state tax levied by the
state executive council. The demo-
cratic idea of economy" practically
applied would have cost Iowa people,
but for republican obstruction, far
more than the entire state taxation.
And the democratic idea of taxation
means imposition of an additional tax
five times greater than the entire CAPT
toll extension tax.
Messrs. Connolly, Hamilton. Myers,
ct al, who are glib with promises
about economy and lower taxes and
fewer offices stand for what a demo
cratic administration fully clothed
with power is actually doing. Messrs.
Cummins, Clarke, Harding, Brown, Al
len, Shaw, Cosson, Wilson, Thorne and
eleven good republican candidates for
congress are squarely opposed to the
democratic idea Of use of the money

have defeated it. Full responsibility
not only for the bill but for the area
included rests with the legislature and
with Democrats in equal measure with
Republicans. A large majority Of the
Democrats of both houses voted for
the bill.
The State of Iowa has over 5000
acres of land for state purposes, is
buying a thousand acres more this
year and will buy several thousand
more very soon, and has invested in
land and equipment over % million
dollars. Every dollar of this invest
ment was upon the authority and mi
tiative of the legislature alone.
Actual area for corresponding pub
lie buildings in Washington, d. c..
28743 acres. Oklahoma has $50 acres
for capitol purposes. North Dakota
has 100 acres in capitol grounds. Ar
kansas has AZ acres. Pennsylvania is
condemning ~ acres in the best bust
ness section of the capital city. Other
.
rors of the past by enlarging capitol
grounds.
OF the total taxes paid in Iowa only
about l cent out of each 81 goes for
capitol extension and this only for
two years.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor has advertised that "only in the
one case of capitol extension is it at
all contended that the appropriations
by the legislature were eXtravagant
or unwise" Democratic responsibility
for that lone case" Is fully estab-
lished. And as for other expenditures.
this same democratic candidate while
a member of the board of control, had
more to do with increasing them than
any one person now in the public eye.
This same vote seeker has paid for
circulation of a statement that the
area to be purchased is 70 acres. The
area in fact, as he knows, is enlarged
by purchase just 34.32 acres.
The Democratic machine is trying
to ride into power in Iowa by appeal
to prejudice through unblushing false
hood and distortion or concealment Of
facts regarding assessment, taxation,
cost of state government, and the cap
iol extension law. Every statement
the politicians make not in exact con-
formity to the plain record as given
above is false.
