sion that the time is not far distant
when a substitute for spruce in the
making of news-print paper will have

in the vast quantities of straw from

the present time, is being wasted"

POLITICS AND BANKING.

North Dakota seems to be getting a few preliminary hints
of the dangers and difficulties of mixing politics and banking:
The state banking board has just closed a bank in Fargo
through which the activities of the Nonpartisan league have
been largely financed and has ordered the immediate investiga-
ton of six or eight other banks through the state that are
especially affiliated with the Nonpartisan league. Officers
of the closed bank in Fargo, according to an official organ
of the National Nonpartisan league, "expect to start proceed
ings against the state officials on the ground of conspiracy to
wreck the bank for political purposes"
Whether the banking board is right in its charge of in,
solvency or whether the officers of the bank are justified in
their accusations presumably will be indicated by future dew
elopments. What is already very clear is the sort of atmos-
phere that surrounds and is likely continually to surround the
banking business when it becomes too closely associated with
politics. Chicago has had certain kinds of political banks, but
in the course of time they went to the wall under painful cir
cumstances: There will always be a %squabble between the
political influence which support a bank and opposing political
forces, and the bank is only too likely to come to grief as a
result of undertaking to oblige its friends and punish its
enemies.
The charges and countercharges in connection with the
closing Of the Fargo bank are particularly suggestive in view
of North Dakotas project for establishing a state bank under
the practical auspices of the Nonpartisan league. They seem
to presage a stormy career for any such institution. History
both state and national, is full of warnings to the same effect

CENSUS: |ll'S TO SHOW!
GREAT CHANCES
Remarkable Shifts In Population
In United States Because
Of European War.
CALCULATIONS ARE UPSET
Figures for 1920 Expected to Reveal
Striking Changes In Growth
and Character Of PopuIa.
ton Of This Country.

MISUNDERSTANDING changes in
the growth and character of the popu-
lation of the United States are ex-
pected to be shown by the 1920 cen
sus, preparations for which are under
way.
The shifting Of population because
of the war has upset the calculation
of census experts, who since 1917
have considered it useless to attempt
to estimate population Of any other
units than states. Before that it was
possible to predict with a fair de-
gree of accuracy the number of per.
sons in any given locality.
The "center of population" it is be-
lieved, has stopped its westward move
ment, which was continuous from 1890
to 1910, when it was located in Bloom.
ington, Ind. This is because indus.
trial cities in the central east, such
as Cleveland and Detroit, have been
growing at a greatly increased rate
during recent years, as have manu-
featuring centers farther east. For.
merly, the Rocky mountain and Pa.
ci6c coast states increased in p0pu.
lation with twice the rapidity Of east.
ern and central states.
Notifications Are Seen.
During this year, however, certain
notifications of the usual situation
may be made. The opening Of recla.
nation projects in the west, the re-
sumption of immigration, and other
causes, it is thought, will change the
abnormal distribution. There will also
be q tendency to return to normal
now that the war has ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the constitution of the popu'
lation"-the ratio of males to females
the proportions Of native and for
eign stock and the age distribution
When a city experiences a raptt
growth due to industrial and com
mercial activity the gain in population
is largely made up Of persons in thu
young and early middle ages: Among
these persons there will be more mel
than women. For example, In Okla
homa City, where the population grew
nearly 500 per cent between 1900 ant
1910, the ratio of males to female
in the latter year was 126 to 100, ant
62 per cent of the population was be
I tween Is and As.
Percentage Of Negroes Drops.
The coming census is also expected
to show a continuation of the move
ment from the country to the city
which has been going on for many dec
AIDES. A further decrease in the pro
portion Of negro population is eS
pected. In 1900 negroes numbers
11.6 per cent and in 1910 1917 pc
cent.
It is expected that the ~percentag
Of foreign-born will show a marke
decline, due to the discontinuance Q
immigration. In recent years the ns
tive-born population did not increas
as. rapidly as the foreign-born. Fewe
persons will be found, it is predicted
who are unable to speak English.
In 1910 this number was, 24S pc
cent Of the population.
The law requires the census burea
to make an actual count every te
years, and an estimate for cities an
states every year by arithmetical pr
g%ression. Since 1917, however, the b,
reau has not estimated cities.
