overwhelmed with curiosity. We felt
sure, after all the education that we
have received through the columns Of
the kept press and the little sneeze
sheets (the country papers who think
they. must sneeze every time the big
city dailies take political snuff), that
the per capita state debt in North
Dakota must be "sumfn' orful" in
comparison to Minnesota, where the
churches, the schools snd the family
ere SO unselfishly guarded from Russian
influences by the Hon. j. A. 0. P.
Imagine our surprise to find that the
per capita debt in North Dakota as Of
September 80, 1920 was only 81 cents
as compared to 1898 for Minnesota.
And that wasn't the worst OF it. North
Dakota reduced her per capita debt
from 80 cents in 1914 to So cents in
1917 and down to 81 cents in 1920,
while Minnesota's per capita indebted
ness in 1914 was $1.18 but had reached
the startling height of $8.93 in 1920,
And where did these figures come
from? We're they manufactured by
some wild-e5ed, long haired Socialist
agitator? Well maybe, for the figures
were taken from statistics just issued
by the United States Depsrtemnt of
Commerce. So you see from the
figures of the Department OF Com
