STATE IMMIGRATION
IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS
McCAFFREE MAKES COMPAR-
IsoN BETWEEN NORTH AND
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre. June Appropriation
for the department of immigration is
not $4,000, nor $4,000, nor ST.
500 stated in campaign advertising.
We wish for the next year while
prospects are SO good hat ii were.
The amount is $12. 500. for adver-
Using, printing, postage. salaries and
everything.
North Dakota has been compared
to us because that state has shown
a gain in population over us since
1900. While North Dakota is a
grand state, il is not so fortunate as
W. in soil, climate or crops. Their
state taxes have been higher than
ours both per capita and in total
amount. They have not been quite
as prosperous as We have.
But there are three good reasons
for their greater growth: /. They
have had cheaper land. 2. More
important, they have consistently
gone after settlers. 8. They have
had the big land grants to the rail
roads (of which we had none) set
tied in that time.
In 1905-7-9 North Dakota spent
$4,000 in advertising aside from
salaries and office expense met by a
salary fund. South Dakota spent
nothing. In 1911 South Dakota
ed $4,000, though II fund had to
pay salaries and theirs did not. In
1913 the northern state appropriated
$56,445 for same purpose (includ-
ing exposition), we appropriated
$4,000. In 1915 our neighbor APP
p%ropriated SCI, 200, we $4,000.
Their land grant railways have done
much more than the state. The won
der is III northern neighbor did not
get a greater advantage. 1t Is a di-
rect argument for advertising.
You had perhaps not noticed that
according to the census the number
of u farms jumped from 1854 in
1910 TO 101,224 in 1915. a big gain
for five years. Supt. Robinson, of
the state census, estimates our pres
ent population at 100000. The gain
of births over deaths is 5000, leav-
ing 5000 for immigration within the
year.
We have received the report OF inn
migrant cars only from Dakota di-
vision of the Northwestern as yet.
1t shows SAL cars received from out
side the state. That ought TO be a
fair average territory. Figuring IN
that basis, all the mileage of the
state would give 2,191 immigrant
cars from January l to May /. and
these figures r an increase of 80
per cent over last year for the same
period. The entire year will be very
much larger. of course, but March
and April are the best months.

Mitchell-The attachment Of a
freight car belonging to a foreign
road to secure action on a claim for
damages is an unusual procedure,
but one that has been put into effect
by a shipper of eggs and poultry in
the city against the Boston a. Maine

this road came into Mitchell recently
and was attached while standing on
a sidetrack of the Milwaukee road.

why the commissioner disapproves of

The commissioner orally states that
he disapproves of the policy form on
the grounds that it does not comply
with the state laws for standard, and
is misleading in its provisions to
patrons.
