Census Bureau's Summary Concerning
The State For 1909.
t those Kansas women want to'
votewhy or course, they will vote.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 9 A pre
liminary statement of the general re
sults of the census of manufactures
for the state of South Dakota was
issued today by Census Director Du
rand. It consists of a summary com
paring the figures for 1904 and 1909,
by state totals, prepared under the
direction of Mr. William M. Steuart,
chief statistician for manufactures, bu
reau of the census.
Steam laundries are given a separate
presentation because the thirteenth
census was the first ln which they
were canvassed, and, therefore, there
are no statistics for prior censuses
with which these totals can be coiu
pared. The figures are preliminary and sub
ject to such change and correction as
may be found necessary from a further

President Taft lias at least one pet
idea that is good. The reciprocity
measure advocated by the chief execu
tive should receive the sanction of
congress by a unanimous vote.
, . . O '
The newspapers have not the able
examination of the original reports.
The thirteenth census, like that of
1904, with reference to manufactures,
differs from the twelfth census, in
1900, ln that the two later censuses
excluded the hand trades, the building
trades, and the neighborhood indus
tries, and took account only of estab
lishments conducted under the fac-
The Per Cent of Increase.
The summary for the state shows
a consistent Increase at the census of
1909, as compared with that for 1904.
In the order of their importance, from
a percentage standpoint, the principal
items rank as follows:
Capital, 71 per cent; salaries and
wages, 69 per cent; miscellaneos ex
penses, 68 per cent; number of salari
ed officials and clerks, 54 per cent;
number of establishments, 49 per
cent; value added by manufacture, 45
per cent; average number of wage
earners employed during the year, 44
per cent; value of products, 36 per
cent; and cost of materials used, 32
per cent.
There-were 1,019 manufacturing es
tablishments in -1909 and 686 in 1904,
an increase of 333, or 49 per cent.
The capital invested, as reported ln
1909, was $12,971,000, a gain of $5,
386,000, or 71 per cent, over $7,585,000
in 1904. The average capital per es
tablishment was approximately $13,
000 in 1909 and $11,000 In 1904. In this
connection it should be stated that
the Inquiry contained in the ' census
schedule calls for the total amount
of capital, both owner and borrowed
and invested in the business, but ex
cludes the value of rented property,
plant, or equipment, which was em
ployed in the conduct of manufactur
ing enterprises. In the final bulletins
and reports the rental paid for such
property will be shown separately.
