LARGE INCREASE IN
OUR RURAL POPULATION
DESPITE Movement Of People From
the City the Country Has Ac-
tually Grown.

While the constant movement of
people from the farms to the cities
during the past ten years has great
ly reduced the percentage of rural
population as compared with the
population of the cities in the cOun-
try as whole, there has been an
actual increase in the percentage of
rural population in Colorado since
the 1910 census was taken. This in
crease has been due almost exclus-
lively to the movement of people
onto the farms in this state, the
trend of population here being ex-
actly opposite to that in the cOun-
try as whole, and particularly in
the chief agricultural states.
Compilations made by Howard d.
Sullivan, statistician of the Colorado
State Board of Immigration, from
preliminary reports returned by
the census bureau, show that the
rural population of the state at this
time is 4S6,560, or SIS per cent OF
the total population, compared
with rural population of 1874, 1874, or
49.3 per cent of the total population
of the state, in 1910. During the
past decade the rural population
of the state has increased by 92,-
376, or 23.4 per cent, while the urban
population has increased but A.
976, or 11.S per cent The census pop
ulation classes as urban pOpula-
tion all that contained in cities and
towns having populations of $500
or more each, while all other popu-
lation is classed as rural.
ropiI ir,opooco IN, NON
rlatfon will be found all the more
remarkable when careful examin-
alton is made of the census returns
from the mining counties. OF II
counties in the state where metal
mining is followed as the primary
industry or as the industry second
in Importance, II show actual de-
creases in population. The pOpu-
lation of most of the mining camps
was classed as rural in 1910, there
being but few mining camps then
having populations greater than q
500 each This large decrease in the
population in metal mining dis
tricts has been counteracted by the
movement into farming counties,
where increases in population in
the past ten years have ranged
from 35 per cent to 250 per cent.
This year the census bureau re-
ports 26 cities and towns having
populations of $500 or more each,
compared with q cities and towns
in this class in 1910. This year
there are 224 incorporated places in
the state, compared with POI in 1910,
and the population of all incorpo-
rated places in the state this year,
as reported by the census bureau,
is 565, ,491, or 60.2 per cent Of the to-
tai population, compared with SOL
597, or 62.S per cent in 1910 The
newly incorporated places are al
most all in agricultural districts.
Three agricultural towns that had
populations less than $500 in 1910
have advanced above that figure
this year and three mining towns
whose populations were severally
above $500 in 1910 have fallen below
that figure this year.

Of every branch of the business All summer the coal sit

The most important of these is that the coal industry

tHsshie ii has been handicapped by inadequate trans

conditions
.Aexti IN importance among the reasons why Calders

months ago is that the senate as whole is not in sym
patty with any government regulation as long as there

government control possibly could. 1t will get better
as it goes along, and the country knows by bitter cx-

worte asith the passage Of time.
Moreover Senator Calders interest IN the fuel stu

KEEWEYLSM.

HE most amazing thing about Frank keeney $
announcement that he means TO contest the cleo
hon Of Judge Morgan in every county of the state IS
not that he should contemplate such preposterous
project but the matter Of fact way which he assumes
that ali of the members Of the miners union and the
railroad broherhoods ought to do what he wants them
to when they get into the election BOOTH he efTont-
cry Of ought 10 shock the West Virginia labor organ
izatons into some action assert their manhood and
to get nd of Keeneyism. -,
Keeney could make the miners pay, and he did
make them pay roundly. 1t is said that the cost OF
the campaign just ended the miners was by tar the
highest ever expended for political purposes in one
campaign in this state and that the per capita cost OF
each Montgomery vote is way beyond anything hitherto
experienced in West Virginia But he could not make
ali The miners vote according TO his orders and the
chances are that the railroad men did not pay the
slightest attention 10 him.
And it is perfectly natural that this should be the
case in both circles Of wage earners 1t the tune ever
comes when so called leader of labor can tell men
how they shall vote it will BE time 10 take down the
s;en that America is nation Of free 1t would
be a much shorter step than most people imagine from
a condition in which men vote lhey are told 10 BY
those higher up in the labor organizations 10 what they
have in Russia where higher uP1el them not only
how they shall vote but where they shall live and what
they shall eat.
