The vests dependence upon the east,

ddcing the Importance of the east,
MI. korsmeyer said
West SurpAsses East
GAS an eastern man | am naturally
not overjoyed to find that the north
vest is getting ahead more rapidly
han we are, because it means that
the west is growing more important
10 the nation than it has heretofore
Italics relatively less important
place." Mr.. Korsmeyer continued
That cannot be helped and we shall
have to put up with it. What strikes
an eastern man forcibly in the north
western states is the fact that they
are building more solidly for the
future than we have been led to be-
lieve. In some respects. particularly
in regard to the management of your
municipal affairs, it seems to me that
you are looking ahead more clearly
Nthan we are. You have the natural ad-
vantages. still hardly exploited ut all.
and you have the spirit to disregard
1.-THE hampering traditions. 1t seems
Ito me inevitable that the pOpula-
tion Of the country must gravitate
more and more in a western direction
Nwith the result Of building up nearby
Nmarkets for growing industries. At
Rany rate. | can see that the day of
the vests dependence upon the east
Lcommcrcially is gone"
