WHAT OUR POPULATION MEANS
A census bulletin just issued puts
the population Of the United States
at 100, 000. 900. This Is a gain OF
about 1000, 900 since the last bulletin
was issued, four years ago.
One hundred and nine million per
sons in the United States. What does
that mean?
1t means, first of all, that the coun.
try Is too big to be run entirely from
Washington; that the necessity Of ef'
hcient state and local governments
is greater than it aver was before.
1t means that lore attention must
be paid to the problems OF the or
ganization of industry-particularly
to the distribution of labor; that
where the, human interests involved
are so large the old haphazard meth
DDS will nut-answer.
1t means a great and growing de-
mand for foodstuffs, hence a main
tenance and ultimately an increase
of land values; that we are naturally
becoming less and less a food-export-
ing nation; that manufactures must
be relied on to supply the deficit IN
exports due to this cause.
1t means that Industries must be
encouraged, enterprise rewarded, II
these millions Of people are to find
the work they need; that manufac-
turers must reach out and find for
eign markets-in South America and
elsewhere-if they are to furnish en-
ployment to a proper part Of this
great and growing population.
It means that the population Of the
United States, increasing at the pres
ent rate, should soon fill up and de-
velop all the waste places of the con-
tinent; that the era of intensive cul-
tivation and higher efficiency In
dustry is becoming an economic ne.
cessity; that the conservation policy
Of the government, wise as 1t may
be. is likely soon to feel the strain
of a great western population.
1t means that big capital and big
industries are needed to supply the
demands of these millions as econ
omically and as quickly as possible;
that WI have the greatest domestic
market In the world, all at the dis
posal of the American producer.
It means democracy on trial on a
scale big enough to stagger the i'm
agination-big enough to make its
failure a world catastrophe, its sue
cess mans greatest political triumph.
