SOUTH DAKOTA RANKS FIRST

A writer in the Chicago Herald
rates South Dakota AZ the wealthiest
state per capita in the union. The
article says: with $4,000 farmers
who own on the average of 500 acres
and have property amounting to
more than 10000 each, South Dako-
ia is the wealthiest state per capita.
Other industries are keeping pace
with the agriculture, and the state in
the last twelve years has produced
more permanent wealth for each in
habtant than any part of the world.
South Dakota's progress is due to
various causes. The state is favor
ably located as regards climate and
relation to the great markets of the
middle west. 1t contains 76 900 square
miles and has little waste territory.
The area of prairie land produces
fine crops of corn, wheat, alfalfa, etc
while the hills and mountains are
rich in gold, silver, marble, coal and
timber. AS a grrzing country it Is
unsurpassed, having an unlimited
amount of luXuriant native grasses
and being abundantly watered."

WHY THE GENEROSITY?

Do you know why England offers us an
extra half per cent in interest and a re-
mission of her income tax on this propos-
ed new loan for American consumption of
$500, 100000? Why shoul1 the American
investor be treated more generously than
the Englishman is treated in his own
market? Does an American dollar smell
sweeter than abank of England note?
Does our English cousin love us more than
than he loves himself? This may be the
reason for the weekend intimacies of
ambassadors and bankers families. Some
cause may be found II our latest govern
ment statistics of wealth and population.
The English war debt is mounting at the
rate of fifteen million day and now ex-
ceeds five billion dollars. This calls for
a present interest payment from every
man, woman and child in Great Britain
of $500 a year, Our government statis-
tics show that our public debt is trifle
over one billion dollars with correspond
ing interest charge per capita of twenty
three cents year. Our national wealth
exceeds one hundred and eighty-seven
billion dollars.
