STATE GAINS IN
TAXED WEALTH
TOTAL WEALTH OF STATE NOW
ESTIMATED AT OVER THREE
AND A QUARTER BILLIONS
FIGURE is NET GAIN OF 4o.e
PER CENT IN TEN YEARS.

The U. S. department of commerce
announces for the state of Colorado,
its preliminary estimate of values for
Dec. 81. 1922, of the principal forms
of wealth, the total amounting to
229,352,000, as compared with
S2,291,6l4,00O in 1912, an increase
Of 400 per cent. Per capita values
increased from $2,674 to s3,2s5, or
22.8 per cent.
All classes of property increased in
value during the ten years just past
except manufacturing machinery,
tools and implements, which decreas-
ed from $91,354,OO0 to $S6,sOs, 900,
or B per cent, and privately owned
transportation and transmission en-
terprises other than railroads, which
decreased from $197,642,OOO to
$143, 3,425,OO0 or 27.4 per cent. The
estimated value of taxed real prop
erty and improvement increased
from S1,123,067,OOO to $1,3SS,s1s,-
900, or 23.7 per cent, exempt real
property Exclusive of national mon
ument and Mesa Verde and Rocky
Mountain National parks) from
$10O,445,0OO to $S69,62s,OOO or 26s
per cent.
Live stock increased from $685.
100000 to $10O,664, 900 or 14.3 per
cent; and farm implements and ma
chinery from $14,4OO,OOO to $685.
O59,0OO, or 1884 per cent, and rail
roads and equipment from $297,625,-
900 to 1864, 900 or 22.6 per cent.
Stocks of goods, vehicles other than
motors, furniture and clothing, in
creased from 1919, 9,O21, 900 to $780,
O94,0O0 or 1914 per cent. No COM
parison is possible for the value of
motor vehicles, which was estimated
in 1922 at $59,s93,OOO, because no
separate estimate was made in 1912.
In making these estimates the de-
partment followed in general the
methods employed in making the es-
Inmates for 1912, though it is believ-
ed that in some respects the work in
1922 has been more thorough. 1t
should be borne in mind that the in
creases in money value are to a large
extent due to the rise in prices that
has taken place in recent years, and
so far as that is the case they do not
represent corresponding increases in
the quantity of wealth.
The estimated values of gold and
silver coin and bullion, the vessels of
the navy, and privately owned water
works will appear only in totals for
the United States.

HOMESTEADS
ARE STILL OPEN
OVER ELEVEN PER CENT OF
STATE is HOMESTEAD LAND
Over EIGHT MILLION AC.
RES IN, PROCESS OF PROVING
UP".

Latest available reports show that
there is now in Colorado 7,753,218
acres of unreserved and unappropri-
ated land, popularity known as home
stead land. This is 11.6S per cent of
the states total area, and is compar-
ed with 7,951,963 acres a year ago,
or 11.9s per cent of the states area.
Eight years ago there was approx
imately 100000 acres of unappro-
priated and unreserved homestead
land in the state. The stockraising
homestead act was passed by con-
gress in December. 1916, permitting
the entry of GAO acres of homestead
land by single entryman when the
land fell under certain classifications
and within three years from the date
the act became effective more than
5000, 900 acres Of Colorado land had
been filed upon. In the next two
years nearly 100000 acres addi-
tional was filed upon, but since that
time entries have been very few and
a considerable amount of land pre-
viously filed upon has been relin-
uuished. At the present time com
paratively few filings are being
made.
Nearly all the land yet remaining
open to homestead entry in this state
is in the mountain counties and on
the western slope of the main range.
In the eastern plains counties there
remains less than 100000 acres, al
most all of which is in isolated tracts
far below the size of homestead.
Rio Grande and Moffat counties have
larger acrcages Of homestead land
than any other counties, the former
having i.l03,757 acres or 53.5 per
cent Of its total area, and the latter
l.3O3.235 acres, or 43.7l per cent of
its area. Most of this land is from
25 to 80 miles from any railroad
and can not be proftably developed
at this time. A large amount of the
land yet remaining open to entry is
waste and of very little agricultural
value under existing conditions.
There also remains in the state ov.
er 100000 acres of land not class
flied as to ownership. most Of which
consists of homestead land that has
been entered but not yet proved up
In recent years homestead land tt
the amount Of more than 100000
acres has been patented annually ir
Colorado and the amount yet beint
patented is large. The amount OF
homestead land being proved up is
however, decreasing rather rapidly
each year and is expected TO fall be
low 10000 acres annually within
three years.
