KANSAS

Kansas wished itself happy new
year, and gave material momentum
to the sentiment, when it celebrated
the ca collation. of the last dollar of
its bonded Indebtedness at Topeka on
January /. The last bond didn't
amount to much and it wasn't a debt
that anybody need to worry about,
especially as it was only in technical
sense that there was any debt at all.
For more than twenty years the Kan
sas school fund has been so opulent
that it has loaned money TO the general
fund. The last loan which the school
fund made to the general fund was
for only $3.50. 900. 1t would have been
paid off long ago had it been due or
had 1t been necessary to pay it. In
che transaction celebrated last Friday
Kansas merely slipped $3.50, 900 from
one pocket to the other, tore up lit
Gle due bill and called it square.
There are six states in the Union
that have no bonded indebtedness.
Most of these states are considerably
older than Kansas and were much
longer time getting out of debt. 1t
took the Sunflower state just fifty five
years to make its pile" Half GEN.
uury ago Kansas was still ''bleeding''
AID suffering and striving to get
upon its feet. The Kansas of 1860
was generally pited, and il was wide
spread opinion among outsiders that
1t would always have to be helped.

A young man of one of our neigh
boring towns called on young lady
for the evening, and after arriving
could not find words to say. After
sitting for an hour he was given pen
ell and paper and these directions.

Nobody dreamed that out of this
struggling state commonwealth
that would have a total taxable yalue
in fifty-fve years of nearly three bill
ion dollars, and that its capita wealth
would be ST. ,630-greater than that of
any other state in the Union. No
one imagined that the states bank
deposits would reach 1924, Ito. 576-
the largest per capita of all the states.
Kansas today has an automobile for
every sixth family, a telephone for
every family of five persons, and
q, 900 boys and girls in state colleges
year with happiness and contentment.
Last year it raised farm products
valued at s34l, sol 900, its live stock
was worth $40, 655. 900 and its man.
ufactured products were worth 1925,
600, 0O0-whoever thinks OF Kansas as
a manufacturing state2 Confronted
with such an array of official figures
the fact that it is out of debt is not
strange. And Kansas is pilling up
immense SURPRISES of money and mat
erial resources. Wealth is accumulat-
ing so rapidly that there is no longer
the least danger that the state will
ever be in want. Half a dozen crop
failures would not bring it to the
point of requiring outside aid. But the
science of modern farming has reduced
the possibility of a general crop fail
ure to the minimum. Kansas is not
a one crop state. 1t is not two or
three crops state. Its resources are
as varied as any country on earth can
boast and the people are all that
Governor Capper said they were when
he thus referred to them at Topeka
last Friday: 81 do not think we can
find anywhere else on the face of the
earth a million and three quarters of
people who will grade up as well; who
have greater respect for law; who
are as responsive to the demands OF
decency and fairness and the higher
standards of citizenship. kansas

fore the publication of the govern

was steady at decline of to IL

October contracts selling at 1911 and
January at 13.4o on the call. There
was no pressure of consequence. owing

condition figures. however, and the
market soon steadied up on covering,
with October advancing to 1919 and
January TO 13.45 before the end of the

satisfactory, all things considered.

quite a number of orders untitled at the

these issues and sales of $1,000 face
value. Railway As were also in good
