Payments to Roads a Handicap.


II cannot overemphasize the neces-
sity of economy in government ap-
preparations and expenditures and
the avoidance by the Congress of
practices which take money from the
treasury by indefinite or revolving
fund appropriations.
1.-The estimates for the present year
show that over a billion dollars of
expenditures were authorized by the
last Congress in addition to the
amounts shown in the usual compiled
statements of appropriations. This
strikingly illustrates the Importance
of making direct and specific appro-
priations.
1.-The relation between the current
receipts and current expenditures of
the government during the present
fiscal year, as well as during the last
half of the last fiscal year, has been
disturbed by the extraordinary bur-
dens thrown upon the treasury by
the transportation act, in connection
with the return of the railroads to
private control. Over $60O,0OO,000
has already been paid to the rail-
roads under this act-$350, 100000
during the present fiscal year-and
it is estimated that further payments
aggregating possibly s650,0O0,OOO
must still be made to the railroads
during the current year. 1t is obvi-
Gus that these large payments have
already seriously limited the govern
ment's progress in retiring the float
ing debt.
CLOSELY connected with this, it

The population of South Dakota as
given by the 1920 census is 635. 839,
q gain since 1910 of 81 95J, ORG. 8
per cent. The growth of population
in South Dakota has only been record
ed by national census during three
decades. The first one. from 1890 to
1900 showed growth Of over So, 600
or about one thousand more than the
growth Of the last decade. From
1900 to 1910 we had phenomenal
growth due to the projecting of rail-
roads across the country west of the
Missouri river, which brought many
new settlers. but much of this growth
proved to be transient, as many Of
the new Settlers proved up on their
land and left. The growth during
the pa.t ten years however, has not
been of the most desirable nature
Like ell oe the rest of the country,
the growth has been largely in the
cities and not enough of it to the
farms. While the cities have grown
IS per cent, the growth in the rural
districts has been only 3 per cent.
From the report 60 far compiled it
appears tnat over half of our national
population 10 in the cities. And pres
ent conditions are not such as to en-.
courage a change The high wages
and short hours for city labor have
drawn men from the farms, and it is
also noticeable that the recent de
clines in prices have been much
greater on farm products than on
products Of the mills and factories.
It is encouraging however, to note
that there are indications of change.
Many Of the factories have been pro-
ducing in excess of the demand, and
are having to curtail their production.
This will force the price of theis
product. back to normal and benefit
the consumer. It will of course force
labor out Of employment, which will
necessarily be temporary hardship
onsome of the men, but it will tend to
drive many of them to the farms
where their services will be more val.
liable to the general public. Wa,
conditions drew them from the farms.
