12 Cbc Conservative ,
NEBRASKA'S FAT YEAR.
Next to the pleasure of having plenty
of moiioy one's self is that of learning
that a lot of other people are flourishing ,
especially if the other people have com
plained of poverty in the ueav post. For-
innately such opportunities are not in
frequent , should any one care to look
for them. A case in point , and a very
largo one , may bo found in the recent
report of the Secretary of the State
Banking Board of Nebraska a state
which several years ago was most elo
quent , touching , and therefore influen
tial , in its complaints of poverty and its
demands for relief. Last year Nebr'as-
ka suffered by the general drought in
the west , and had an alarming reduction
of her corn yield , corn being a Nebraska
staple , as it is of all western states whose
industries are principally agricultural.
Yet despite a shortage of one hundred
million bushels of corn , Nebraska's bank
deposits hist year exceeded those of the
previous year by nearly twelve million
dollars a gain-of about fifteen per cent
over those of the previous year. These
figures take no account of the many
private hoards in cracked teapots , old
stock'ings and other time-honored re
I positories , of people who have no confi
dence in banks or who live far away
from , them , Not long ago Nebraska
complained bitterly that there was not
enough money in the state to make or
dinary commercial exchanges , and that
farm loans , which when really needed ,
are as important as the doctor is to per
sons dangerously ill , could be had only
at destructive rates of interest. ' Yet the
secretary reports that within the year
farm loans dropped to five percent inter
est , which is the average in the best of
the older states.
Yet besides caring for home interests ,
the Nebraska banks , according to the
secretary's report , have had so much
money that at least twenty-five per
cent of the loans and discounts have
been to eastern financial institutions and
on eastern securities. In plain English ,
Nebraska has become a' 'capitalist state. "
States , like individuals , change their
manner according to their poverty or
wealth. In a very old story , which is
not read as much as it should be , the
patriarch , Job , wise , good and "wealthy ,

is presented by the highest authority as
a moclel-"A perfect and upright man"
"None like him in the earth" but
when , at the suggestion of Satan , Job
was deprived of his property and' his
children , ' lie became sick in body and
niiud , went down into the damps , and
found the world so awry that with much
eloquence of detail he cursed the day in
which he was born , and his wife urged
him to make the curse more comprehen
sive so as to include the Designer and
Manager of all things. From poverty-
stricken states , as from men reduced to
penury , come too all sorts of financial
and social and moral heresies and luna
cies , some.of which arc infectious , turn
ing the heads of the people .and unset
tling business foundations. It would be
invidious to name states where this has
been the case , for no one can say with
certainty that similar disturbances may
not begin at scant notice , in one of the
oldest and wealthiest.
But atf present Nebraska deserves the
congratulations of her sister states for
having made so haudsomo a showing ,
and for having proved herself willing
and able to spend less than she earned ,
and thus fortified herself against the
bad year's , which are always possible.
