NEBRASKA AND IOWA SUFFER FROM UNTRUE COMPARISONS. Omaha, Nebr., March 17.—For mak ing the statement that the per capita wealth of Kansas is $1630 greater than of any other state, the Country Gentleman, an eastern publication, dominated with eastern ignorant ego tism, is being called upon by Nebraska and Iowa boosters to produce figures that permitted such a statement. So far the publication has studious ly ignored all requests of information, knowing that its figures are not true in any sense. The per capita wealth, both of Nebraska and Iowa, far ex ceeds that of Kansas; so much so, in fact, that the figures published look like deliberate misrepresentation. The figures for the three states are: Iowa, $3,539; Nebraska, $3,110; Kan sas, $2,526. These figures are taken from the “Estimated Valuation of Na tional Wealth,” issued by the Bureau of Census, Department of Commerce, U. S. NEBRASKA’S GREAT STORY IS TOLD IN THE MOVIES.
