(FACTS ABOUT
!! KANSAS‘ON THE
i WATER WAGON
f '•
k |
BY HON. ROYAL K CABELL.
: FORMER U. S- COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE
(Continued from yesterday )
Savings acounts are commonly ae
3 cepted as the measure of thrift and
j' real prosperity of a community, and
•; it is when we come to consider these
accounts that the Government %
i uros relating to Kansas hold for us
the greatest surprise The report of
■ the Comptroller shows that on June
30, 1913, there were throughout the
entire United States 10,7664)86 peo
ple having savings accounts, a
, mounting to 64.72?,4®3250. In Kan
. sas there were only 20240 persons
with savings aggregated only 64.- ]
689287. In the whole country there
I was one person in every nine with
a savings account, in Kansas there
. was one in every eighty-seven- In
the entire country the average sav
1 inga account per depositor was
6439,07; in Kansas the average per
depositor was but 6231,69. The per j
capita for the whoe country was
' 671-51; for Kansas only 6415. Kan
sas's license neighbor, Nebraska,
i bad a per capita of 615-13; Iowa,
also license, had one of 670-41- Kan
sas ranked behind thirty-two license
States in the number of savings
depositors in mutual and stock sav
ings banks. She had 1,148 savings
| depositors per 1004)00 population;
while license Nebraska had 1.669;
Kentucky, 1219; Iowa. 25386, and
< Massachusetts had 63,411 per 10th
000 population- Only in Arkansas,
Texas. North Dakota. Mississippi.
New Mexico and Oklahoma is the
per capita savings account lower
than it is in Kansas, and of these
North Dakota, Oklahoma and Miss- j
issippi are prohibition States
With respect to education, Kan
sas has an enviable reputation- Her
percentage for illiteracy is only 2-2.
This percentage is equaled by one
State. Idaho, and surpassed by only
l four other?, that is, Washington.
Oregon. Nebraska and Iowa- It is
of interest to note that each of the
' four states surpassing the educa
; donai record of Kansas is a license
state.
In view of all this, how inner li
quor does Kansas consume per an
num? Unfortunately, the govern-'
scent statistics do not furnish data
from which this can be calculated,
and the writer knows of no way by
which the amount of liquor con
sumed in any given community acn '
be ascertained with anything like
accuracy Kansas has a law un
der which shipments of liquors j
must be recorded with the various '
county clerks- It appears that
■while records of shipment® of li
quor into Kansas are filed with the ;
derks of the various counties and
cities, theseoffieers ar® not required '
by law to tabulate these records,
and so far as the writer has been |
zble to learn, no tabulation of
these records has been made- Cer
tainly the writer after exhaustive ■
efforts, has been unable to secure 1
any r-cords thereof- j

FREIGHTER SEWARD
CHANGES HANDS
WAS SOLD TO A NEW YORK
COMPANY, WILL GO ON
THE ATLANTIC
SEATTLE, May IS—After nego
tiations covering three weeks. New
York interests purchased the steam
steel freighter Seward from the
Alaska Steamship Company. News
1 of the deal was given ou« by Mr
Baxter yesterday.
The Tracy company a few days
■ ago took possession of the Seward
under a eharter for one year. She
• will continue under eharter to the
firm on a voyage from Seattle to
1 the West Coast and thence to New
York. Whether the charter will
be continued after her arrival in
the Atlantic port has not been de
termined. but the Tracy company
1 has agreed to act as agents for the
new owners
In the sale of the Seward, which
was built in 1907 at the plant of
the Seattle Construction & Dry
Dock Company, this port loses its
first Alaska steamhsip since the
outbreak of the European war. The
Alaska Steamship Company, how
ever. last winter added three other
vessels to its fleet. Use Bennington.
Burlington and Eureka, so that
the loss of the Seward in the
Northern trade is offset by a heavy
margin

MAIL CARRIER MAY BE LOST
The Prince Rupert Daily News
says that feats are entertained for
the safety of J. McMillan, one of
the old time dog team drivers in
the At I in country. Advices were
received at Prince Rupert that Mc
Millan had started out across the
lake on Sunday with the mails
and has not been heard from since.
The ice was badly honey-combed
and it is feared that McMillan has
gone through.
