SIZING UP NATIONS WEALTH
Middle Atlantic States Have Largest
Income, With Nevada at the End
of the List.

What Is the richest part Of the Unit
ed States-the richest, that Is, In the
sense Of having the largest incomef
Probably most people would have no
difficulty In answering this question.
That the Middle Atlantic states have
the largest amount of liquid cash
would naturally be expected from their
great population and industrial devel-
opment. And from this standpoint the
Middle Atlantic states are the most
prosperous, and, as would be expected,
New York, with an income OF more
than $4,000, 100000, leads all the rest,
whereas Nevada, with $65,000,00O,
brings up at the tail Of the procession.
The figures have recently been COM
piled by DIR. Wesley c. Mitchell and
published by the National Bureau OF
Economic Research.
Yet there is another way in which
to gauge prosperity and perhaps, upon
the whole, 1t Is more satisfactory
test. That Is the per capita distribu-
tiOn. Is that section the richest which
has the largest aggregate income or
that In which the individual income is
the largest? Probably most philoso-
piers would incline to the latter view.
And in this regard the Pacific states
have a slight advantage over the Mid
die Atlantic-$796 as compared with
1913. Yet New York state, with an
average income per person Of 1914, is
still at the head Of the list
This study also disclOses the earn
ings of farmers, which, in some parts
Of the country, are high-as incomes
go. In 1919 farmers in the Pacific
states averaged $1,000 a year and in
the West North Central states, $1,000.
The few remaining ag1iculturists
who are attempting to scratch living
from the discouraging hills Of New
England are obliged to content them
selves with SLIGO, while Alabama and
Mississippi yield >their farmers less
than 5000 a year.-World's Work.

THE COMMON
RUN
By DOUGLAS MALLoCH
7 CANNOT hope to shake your hand,

7 CANNOT hope to shake your hand,
\ Friend Reader here and there,
And yet think we understand
Each other pretty fair:
You're just the common kind like me
And am just like you
We have our troubles two or three,
And have our work to do.
We look on lifes old-fashioned ways,
Although we are not old,
And think the truth of early days
Good truth to which to hold:
There's nothing right on earth but
right,
And wrong is always wrong,
And black is black and white Is white,
The same as all along.
We haven't read the latest proof
There isn't any Cod
We, narrOw-minded, keep alOof
And stay on old sod.
We're ignorant of cults and creeds,
And creeds that knock them fiat;
We judge of people by their deeds,
And let 1t go at that.
We think that laughter beats q tear,
That hOnestys the test;
We live the day, and thus the year,
And try to do our best.
We've had some grief, hurt or so,
But had a lot Of fun
/ guess, If we could really know,
We're just the common run.

de Baupre in Canada to house relic
for which healing powers are claimed
The relic, owned by st. Anne's parish,

ages in recent months. Some Of them
have asserted their visits resulted in

His Speech "sIt Down, Roy!"

Hitherto the proceedings of the Fill
Pine legislature have been in Tagalog
or in Spanish, although English is
technically an official language.
But the last election returned to
the legislature a number of young
men educated in English schools in
the Philippines or in the United
States. They are intent upon break
ing up the Spanish-speaking tradition
of the older generation of Filipino
public men, who received their early
training under the Spanish regime.
Therefore, quite a sensation was
caused in the gallery Of the house re-
Gently when English was used for the
first time in debate. The speech was
admirable in point Of brevity, and can
be reported in full. It was addressed
by one Of the members to colleague
on the floor, and was: "Sit down,

was assessed as high as $500 for travelling expenses alone.
 Contrary to the general impress sion the President of the United States has no private car of his own. When he goes on the road he is com pelled to rent one from the Pullman Company. There has been talk from time to time of providing the Presi- dent with car, but Congress has never taken the step.
 The Alaskan portion of the jour ney and the return trip through the Panama Canal of course, will be made on a naval vessel, but here again the Presidential party pays for it's keep, the same as does a pri- vate individual or deputy marshal, by standing full share in the daily cost of the ships mess, so much per meal being charged, but nothing being charged for transportation.

CONCERNING vANK ISLAND

In 1921 number of Wrangell Fcitizens entered a protest to the For est Service against the leasing of Vank Island for fur farming pur- poses. This protest was entered on the grounds that such a lease pro- hibited legitimate deer hunting and the cutting of wood logs on Vank Island.
 w. W. Mclaughlin recently made an application for a fur farm permit for Vank Island for the purpose of raising foxes. He states in his ap- plication that it is possible to con duct fox farming industry on the island without prohibiting legiti- mate deer hunting or the cutting of wood logs. and that 1t is on these conditions that he seeks to obtain a lease. MT. Mclaughlin brought this matter to the attention of the Wrangell Town Council and the Wrangell Commercial Club, and both organizations passed resolu- tion endorsing his application.
 This week the Town Council re- ceived letter from Chas. H. Flory, District Forester, regarding the matter of leasing Vank Island. Mr. Flory says:
 "A field investigation into wheth- CT or not 1t is advisable to lease Vank Island will be made in July. after which the matter will be giv- en full consideration and a decision reached. In making this decision full consideration will be given to your letter and to the needs of the citizens of that region. It Is probable that MT. Merritt and MT. McKechnie will call upon you short ly so that the matter can be dis cussed personally"

PRESIDENT PAYS OWN
 TRAVELLING EXPENSES

WASHINGTON-The trip ofPres- ident Harding across the continent and into Alaska has given rise to all kinds of inquiry upon the part of a curious public:
 Does he use a pass?
 Does he pay for the trip out of his own pocket?
 Does he pay for the newspaper men and the photographers who go along?
 These are the most common ques- tions that come to Washington and for the sake of brevity the answer is mo" to all of them.
 The President of the United States is not, in railroad parlance, "a deadhead". He must pay his fare just as an ordinary citizen must except that the President. for the sake of executive seclusion, al- ways uses private car, and for this car he has to pay 25 full fares in- stead of one. Any ordinary person can have car hauled at the same rate.
 There was a time, up to and in- ;luding the Roosevelt administra- tion, when the President was carried free by the roads, not. only the President but all of his en tourage, including as many guests as he cared to invite. The Pennsylvania railroad in the old days financed many a presidential trip entirely across the continent and badk, de- fraying not only the expenses of transportation but all Pullman charges and both solid and liquid refreshments, with after dinner smokes also thrown in.
 It was estimated that some of the big presidential swings around the country cost as high as s90,000 or s100,000. There was no other way the President could travel unless he chose to spend the greater part of his salary, which was but $50.000 a year at that time.
 Congress at last came to the con- clusion that the practice of placing the burden of presidential trips on a few accommodating railroads was all wrong. It was agreed that the President should travel but that he should not place himself under ob- legations to the railroads. So Con- gress, doffing it's coat of niggardli- ness, not only raised the presidential salary to $75,OO0 a year as MT. Taft anne into office, but granted year ly appropriation of $25.000 addi- tional for travelling expenses. But even $25,0Oo a year does not pro- vide much transportation at the prevailing price.
 The President came across the continent in a special train. The special train dost him $25 flor every mile travelled. Every Pullman car in the special train cost $60 day, with an additional surcharge which goes to the railroad. It can be seen that at this rate the presidential ap- propriation was used for two cars of the special train, accommodating the immediate party of the President, including his secretary, George Christian and Dr. Sawyer, as we'll as a staff of clerks and stenographers to handle executive business while the chief magistrate is en tour.
 Newspaper photographers. special writers, and even the Secret Service men will have to bear their share of the general expense of the train. On some of Taft's trips, when srail. road fares were much cheaper than they are today, each nswSpapsr man
