Iowa's Wealth is Staggering.

In the July American Magazine Her
bert Quick says:
"Iowa's wealth is staggering. Her
farms are worth more than all those OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mex
leo, Montana and Wyoming combined.
Her farm buildings are of more value
than all those of New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Florida,
Louisiana, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming,
Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada,
Washington, Oregon and West Virginia
combined. The livestock industry in Iowa
is now suffering from depression, but her
livestock is worth more than all OF New
Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Delaware. Maryland, Florida, Ar
iona, Utah. Nevada, West Virginia.
Louisiana and New Mexico combined.
''She is fifteenth in population among
the states, and twenty-third in area;
but she ranks first in total value Of
farm products in value OF livestock IN
value of farm property per farm, il
of farm property improved, IN
percentage of total area in farms, in
number OF automobiles per thousand Of
in the value of her horses, in
the value of her cattle. in the value Of
her swine. in poultry, in egg production,
in farm implements, in tonnage Of Tor
age crops-in spite OF the alfalfa Of Kan
sas and the West-in corn production.
Her wheat crop is OF greater value than
that of all Canada or the Argentine. Her
sorn crop is worth more in money than
al the iron ore. OF anthracite coal, OF
petroleum products. OF the gold, copper,
" silver OF all the United States. The
attic she markets every year are worth 4
more than the whole tobacco crop Of the /

Mr.. La Toilette Resumes At
tack on the Naval
Bill

Washington, July 2l:-After confer

ON the child labor BILL Senator Kern, the
Democratic leader, said he was unable to
predict whether an attempt would be
made to pass the bill at this session of
Congress.

measure is passed" he said. "A great
many Democrats and some Republicans
also take a similar view, but there is
very active opposition.
"If the bill gets before the Senate,
have no doubt it would pass by two
thirds vote"
The question will probably be consid-
cred by a Democratic caucus in few
days
Senator Gallinger, the Republican floor
leader, declared again in the Senate yes
terday chat the minority favored the
passage of the bill at the present ses-
sion" He placed in the record kilograms
he had received urging action.
The Senate yesterday continued its
consideration of the naval bill with SEN
ator LaFollette resuming his attack upon
the measure. He reiterated his declara-
tion that the proposed doubling of ex-
penditures for military purposes had
been actuated by selfish interests instead
of patriotism and asserted that there
was not a military, economic or political |
reason to warrant the proposed appro- |
priation.
"The logic of the whole world situa-
ton is against the necessity for these |
proposed increases" he said. "The great |
nations of the world, with their devasta.
ton and exhaustion of resources in the |
past year, have made it impossible for
them to become menace to America"
During his speech Senator LaFollette
turned to the Mexican situation and
Senator Lewis, Democrat, asked if he
stood with President Wilson against in.
PREVENTION in Mexico. Il sincerely hope"
replied Senator LaFollette, that the
standard bearer Of the Republican party
in the coming campaign will not feel
himself constrained to take the position
that it is the duty of the government to
put the flag of the United States behind
investors in Mexico.
president Wilson declared in his De
troit speech that he would not stand for
that principle and he would not become
the collecting agent of investors in Mex
leo. The American people, if the issue
is made between the Republican candi- /
date and Mr.. wilson on that proposition,
will stand overwhelmingly by the presi
dent"
