Bee Want Ads sens hundreds dally
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 16. (Special.) fndcr
date of March 21, Governor Capi'er of
Kansas writes a letter to the Stale Jour
nal of this city In which he ai;aln kIvcs
out the Information thnt Kansas has the
largest per capita wealth of any state in
the union.
The fallacy of this statement Is well
known and was recently exploded when
It was shown that Nebraska stands far
ahead of Kansas In Its rer capita wealth
and that several other states In the agri
cultural west cotild claim greater wealth
per inhabitant than the Sunflower state.
Governor Capper In his letter calls at
tention to the fact that Kanpas lias no
bonded indebtedness, having taken up Its
last bond January 1 of this year. Ne
braska has been out of debt for many
years and on top of that has money
loaned out aggregating' $10,000, 0W.
Xrhraiks Does lletter.
Governor Capper calls attention to an
other showing made by Kalians In which
he says that bank deposits have Increased
100 per cent In the Inst tin years. Bunk
deposits In Nebraska have Increased In
state banks alone, according to the rec
ords of the State Banking bnnrd, over
150 per cent In the same period, the rec
ords showing that In 1W5 deposits In state
banks were trO,5o7,V). while the Inst re
port, made yesterday, shows that thero
Is deposited In tho state banks of Ne
braska alone ll.lO.Stil.TSl. The Increase in
national banks has been W) per cent In
the en me period, making a total Increasa
in the period of 210 per cent, as against
the 100 per cent of Kansas' Increase.
Kansas Is Outstripped.
Governor Capper's boast that Kansas
had Increased Its bank deposits $16,000,000
In the last year may be something to be
proud of In Kansas, but Nebraska is able
to show even better than that with an
Increase of t30.OTiO.02K. And this In the
state banks only. What may be lying
around loose In tho national banks of
Nebraska would probably add" to this
amount much more and probably double
the amount.
Prohibition probably has done all that
the Sunflower governor claims for his
state, but corn, hogs, cattle and alfalfa,
with a few hens Industriously sticking on
the Job, has put Nebraska in a class so
far away from Kansas that it will never
catch up.
