Looking at Home.

Recently band of sociological ex-
plorers discovered an odd little dis
trict that needed attention. Its popu-
lation of some $500 souls was mostly
foreign born. Newly landed immi-
grants floated into 1t and were con-
eiderably exploited by alleged guides
and other dubious aids to the mex
perienced. Most of the working in
habitants were employed as porters,
longshoremen, scrubwomen, and in
like unskilled, poorly paid trades. A
single block yielded 65 cases of tuber-
culosis in year. This sociological
find is on the lower end of Manhattan

of the financial district, from which

Missouri Ranks High in Health.

Another reason has been discovered
why Missouri is a state worth living
in, the discovery being dealt with in a
bulletin which Commissioner John T.
Fitzpatrick has issued for publication.
1t is one of the most healthful and
sanitary states of the Union, this as
sertion being based on the fact that
Missouri has the fifth smallest death
rate per 1000 among all states; and
were it not for its negro population
this would make even a better show
ing. For the year 1914 there were
only 1872 deaths for each 1000 inhabit-
ants, white and black considered to-
gether, and with negroes eliminated
the mortality rate was approximately
lis, based on an estimated popula-
ton of 3,375,000, being excelled in
this respect only by Minnesota, Mon
tana, Washington and Wisconsin. The
death rate among negroes is high in
every state which has colony, but,
in proportion, to this Missouri popu-
lation, the state ranks better than
many further north.

INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in q few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year,
There has been a fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without a crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada,
1t is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions Of the agricultural districts of
Western Canada, and also reports of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal of this is accounted for from the
fact that notwithstanding the advice
Of men Of experience, there are farm
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain of paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands of
acres of land waiting for the husband
man to bring it forth with a crop, it
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist
Seventy million dollars is a con-
sentative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
of the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities Of
supplies for cash.
The total value of exports to Eu.
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started,
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results of the demand
of the shies for war and other material
is beginning to be felt in the financial
life of the Dominion. There is a marked
activity in many commercial lines, and
conditions are fast becoming normal.
Western Canada is receiving a rela-
tive benefit to the East.-Advertise-

public Service Appropriation.


The general contingent appropria-
ton bill, with several amendments,
was engrossed in the house by un-
animous vote.
A storm of disapproval Of the ap-
preparation for the public service
commission was aroused when an APP
preparation, excluding the salaries of
the office, Of $23S,455 was requested
in the bill.
Representative Frank Farris asked
the budget be reduced to 100000, a
cut Of $4,000. Farris claimed that
little had been accomplished by the
commission and said that he thought
100000 would suffice to pay the con-
tlngent expenses of the office.
The Farris resolution was defeated
by vote of 65 to 43.
Representative Barbee then moved
that the appropriation be cut to
$50, 1000.
This amendment was defeated by a
vote of 81 to AZ.
Representative Wiley suggested only
an appropriation of 100000 and this
amendment was adopted.
This will give the public service
commission $271,OOO for the next BIZ
.ennial period.

granted to the blind commission re-

The hopes of Missouri railroads for

revived when the state senate rail-

ported favorably the house public
service commission bill.
The senate amendment eliminated
the provision requiring the public serv-
ice commission to make physical
valuation of all railroads operating
in Missouri before permitting the
roads to increase passenger rates from
cents mile, the present legal maxi
mum rate, to 21s cents a mile.
Should both branches of the legis-

Country Favored in state Tax Rate.

Senators from rural districts were
denounced in the senate by Senator

charged that many of them and
nearly all the rural population of the
state were banded together in a sys-
tematic attempt to evade the payment
OF their just proportion Of the taxes
and to force the three large cities to
support almost the entire state gov
eminent.
Greene produced statistics to show
that 4S per cent of the assessed val
uation of the state was represented
by properties in st. Louis, Kansas
City and st. Joseph, and that includ-
ing the indirect taxes and licenses, the
cities paid more than go per cent Of
all the taxes paid to the state.
Greene declared that the cities were
not getting a return in service which
anywhere near represented the
amount they paid in taxes.
