State Funds.

There was a balance in the State
Treasury at the close of August 81 of
$12, AL, ,797. This is the heaviest bal
ance that was ever in the Treasury OF
Missouri bymore than $500,0OO, and
it is known that more than $4,000, 900
of the state income taxes and cor
poration franchise taxes are being
withheld because of litigation pend
ing in the Federal Couptand the State
courts at Kansas City. This sum, and
doubtless more, has already been col
lected, but is being withheld from the
Treasury until the status of these laws
are definitely settled.
The school fund has balance OF
%, ,517 ,195, and there is balance to
the credit of the revenue fund, from
which the general expenses Of the
state government are paid, of $685.
290. The good roads fund amounts
to 1886, ,167, the largest sum ever
credited to the roads.
During September the state schoo
moneys will be disbursed to the vari-
GUS counties and the City of st. Louis
30 it is not likely that the present
high balance in the Treasury will be
reached again for three months tt
come, but il bids fair to reach $15,'
100000 by the close OF the year.

IRONTON, MO-, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1920.

publican party has had no more viru-
lent and abusive foe than Warren G.
Harding, and the reactionsry, like
the leopard, cannot change his spots.
The progressive element returned
to the party under the plain implica-
ton that the party would adopt a
more progressive attitude in national
affairs.
Instead of doing so, the reactionary
leadership of the party now denies an
honorable completion of the Ameri-
can victory achieved in the World
War, in which Republicans and
Democrats fought side by side with
no thought of partisanship.
Again the reactionaries have put
the progressives to the test of sin
cerity, 1t is inconceivable that they
will not meet the test with the in
telligence and patriotism they dis
played on issues that did not, as in
this case, involve the honor of the
United States.

S. E. Missouri Counties Lose.

Washington, d. c., August 31.-An
alarming decrease in the rural popula
tion of Missouri is shown by census
figures thus far released for that state.
Evidently the country boys of Mis-
souri, have not returned to the farms
after the war, Or else the promise of
high wages in the cities have lured
them away.
Within the last ten years half of
the counties in the state have lost
more than 10000 persons. Out of
sixty five counties listed to date, only
nine show an increase in population.
,Of eighteen of these counties, with a
population above 10000 each only
two have increased numerically since
1910.
While fifty one cities have been
enumerated by the census, twelve of
these have decreased in population.
One of these is Joplin, which has lost
more than 1900 of its people. Most
of the cities which have lost ground
are small communities.
st. Louis has been counted by the
census, but Kansas City has not, and
neither has the population of Jackson
county. So far eighteen cities with a
population above 5000 have been
enumerated.
University City shows marvellous
increase-1s1 per cent, by far the
greatest in Missouri, so far. 1t has
jumped from 2417 to 6792.
The trend in Missouri, as in other
of the great states in that region of
the country, is from the farm to the
city. "Back to the Farm" must be
a forgotten slogan. The fact that
the dozen cities which are being in a
way, deserted, further demonstrates
that the great business and industrial
centers are drawing the boys from
the farm.
An analysis of the fifty one cities
shows that the ones which have lost
in population include Butler, Gen.
tralia, Eldorado Springs, louisiana,
Joplin, Rich Hill, Rolla, Salem, Mar
celine, Troy, CRANKY and Maryville.
Bowling Green had an increase "a
per cent, Webster Groves 1873, Chaf-
fee 45.s, Eldon 81.9, and Mountain
Grove 285.
The nine counties which incre eased
their populations were: Washington,
Dunklin, Stone, Reynolds, Randolph,
Carter, Iron, Mcdonald and Grundy.
Carter's increase was 1919 per cent.
But the decreases were appalling in
some counties. Population fell off
1876 per cent in Hickory IA 8 in
Wayne and 1874 in Cedar. Benton
1877 and Oregon 1872.

BREAK STREET GAR MEN'S STRIKE WITH
 AID OF AUTOMOBILE

More than 5000 automobile owners. both corporation and private citizens, completely broke up and thwarted the strike of 5000 motormen and conduc-
 tors on the New Orleans Railway & Light company cars, who struck on six hours notice, at midnight, June 30. The automobile owners compelled rne strikers to plead for a conference with
 the citizens committee. which, prior to the strike, had been arrogantly refused 4S-hour delay by the committee Of the motormen and conductors, but the citizens committee, headed by Harold
 Newman. stood pat. and refused to
 treat with the strikers either as union
 men, or until they had returned to work.
 Meanwhile, the federal receiver of the railway and light company, J. D. O'Keefe, gathered a force of amateur motormen and conductors and got more than half the cars running by the evening of July ?. To help this anna | teur service out, all the motorists kept | up their service, and the traffic was handled without delay, and without damage to business until the car lines
 were back in shape to operate nearly as well as before.
 The automobile owners saved the | day in this manner:
 1 At daybreak of the morning of July | 1, when there was not a street car run
 ming, every car owner, as if by common consent though they had held no meet ing, and no notices had been issued requesting them to take such action called at the home of every person in l his or her block, and invited them, if doing down town on necessary pusi- ness to work, to ride down with them, and to make definite engagement for | ho rot rid ThnCn win
