(From a Staff Correspondent.)
I LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 19.-(Special.)-
Ture Food Commissioner Hansen is not
( feeling very good natured this morning.
, He says that last spring he with other
tried and true republicans, signed a peti
tion asking that the name of P. F. Zim-
mer be placed upon he ballot as a re
rner be placed upon the ballot as a re
representative. Mr. Zimmer was defeated
for the republican nomination, but enough
t populists wrote in his name so that he
.was declared the populist candidate for
that position. Mr. Hansen claims now
that Mr. Zimmer is using the petition
signed by himself and about eighty other
, republicans to boost himself into the
legislature as a populist or independent.
Mr. Zimmer is also sending out a circu
lar letter in which he says that he doesn't
care who Is elected president, and this
in the minds of some does not entitle him
to the vote of any man who does care
who is elected.
Bittenbender Declines.
A. C Bittenbender, who received two
votes for the nomination as prohibition
candidate for attorney general and there
fore won, has filed his or her declination
and refuses to stand for election. Whether
this Is Ada M. Bittenbender, who lias
numerous times run for numerous offices
on the prohibition state ticket, or some
other person the papers in the case do
not disclose.
Hall Back from Trip.
Railway Commissioner Hall returned
today from a trip to Stella and other
points on the Missouri Pacific railroad.
where he Investigated matters under con
troversy before the commission. He had
a conference with the division suprin
tendent of the road over the location of
a jnew depot at Stella and it was agreed
that the official would recommend to the
head officers the building of a new depot
with a cement or brick platform.
Nebraska Leads.
W. R. Mellor, secretary of the Nebraska
State Board of Agriculture, has the fol
lowing to say of Nebraska:
The census figures reveal some striking
facts about agricultural progress in Ne
braska. During the lust decade Nebraska
has leaped to fourth in rank in the total
amount! of farm property, now being ex
ceeded only by Illinois, Iowa and Texas.
In its per capita wealth for the people
resident on the farms Nebraska is now
second In rank, being led onlv bv Iowa,
which has $2,425 per capita, ' while Ne
braska has 2,360. When compared with
other states, Nebraska s farm wealth as
sumes astounding proportions.
The per capita wealth of the people on
the farm in the United States as a whole
is 1830; for the great geograplileal sub
divisions of the country it is as follows:
New, England, $780; middle Atlantic, $529;
east north central, $1,172; west north cen
tral, $1,743; south Atlantic, $324; east south
central, $562; mountain states, $1,042; Pa
cific states, $1,636; Nebraska, $2,360.
As compared with the corn-belt states
Nebraska farmers have $1,465 more per
capita than those of Ohio,. $664 more than
Illinois, u8 more than Indiana, $1,033
more than Missouri, and more than twice
as much as the farmers of Kansas," who
can count but $1,775 per capita, according
to me census.
Nebraska farmers now have more prop
erty than those of all New England with
the addition of New Jersey, Maryland
and Virginia; during the last ten years
Nebraska farmers have Increased their
wealth 119 per cent more than those of
Ohio, 3 per cent more than those of In
diana, 83 per cent more than Illinois, 121
per cent more than Michigan, 101 per cent
more than Wisconsin, 90 per cent more
than Minnesota, 76 per cent more than
Iowa, 80 per cent more than Missouri
and 42 per cent more than Kansas.
The census bureau figures the popu
lation of all towns under 2,500 as "rural
population;" excluding the population of
the small towns, Nebraska had 623,408
people on its farms in 1910; the per capita
weaitn of these people actually on the
farms of Nebraska Is $3,000. or $18,000 per
family of five persons. This is $11,410 per
family more than the average wealth of
the United Stutes.
The accomplishment of this stupendous
result by a little over 300,000 people on
the farms of Nebraska is a veritable mar
vel. The soil of Nebraska Is a great
reservoir of fertility; the average valua
tion of farm land is less than $50 per acre,
why should farmers leave Nebraska foi
Canada, the northwest or southwest in
search of opportunity?
