UH ®l)c Democrat OPPIOIAL PAPBR OP COUNTY AND OITY. WEDNESDAY, OCT. A tl 1905 It is now conclusively established that the big life insurance compan ies of New York are managed liv professional, financial criminals of the highest cunning, who steal the policy holders' money to enrich themselves and their friends, and for years have escaped punishment by stealing more money belonging to the policy holders for the colters of republican campaign committees. And these insurance managers are probably no worse, in fact probably not half as bad as tlie managers of the big trusts who are experts at cunning thievery. Refering to the decrease in popu lation in this state during the past five years, the Chicago Chronicle says: Interesting material for spec ulation is to be found in the fact shown by the recent Iowa census that the population of that state has decreased approximately 30 000 since the federal census of 1900. What has caused the decrease? It would be easy enough to dis pose of the matter by citing the modern tendency of population to center in the cities, but while this would account for decreases in the agricultural counties it would not account for the decrease in popula tion iD the state at large—unless, indeed, we figure that the 30,000 missing Iowans have emigrated to cities in other states. This theory is defective also in the fact that Iowa contains few cities of any considerable size and none of these has made extraordinary growth during the last five years. Evidently therefore, the cause of the defection must be looked for elsewhere. If Iowa were a poverty stricken commonwealth—if its land were poor and unproductive and its crops half failures—it would be easy enough to solve the problem. We could assume that the people had become tired of struggling for a bare living and had sought better opportunities elsewhere. But, as everybody knows, the conditions in Iowa are exactly the reverse of those stated. Iowa land is the richest and most productive in the country and its crops never fail. The farmers of the Hawkeye state have prospered •bevond all computation during the last five years. They have every reason to feel satisfied and no cause to complain. We can not, therefore, assign dissatisfaction as the cause of thehegira. What can it be, then? May not the decrease of popula tion be due to prosperity instead of to adversity? The theory looks par adoxical at first sight, but it is in reality quite reasonable. Every successful farmer lias an ambition to increase the size of his farm. Iowa farmers have been suc cessful in the highest degree and they have no doubt correspondingly .increased the size of their farms. In other words, the individual liold ings have increased, with the in evitable result that the number of individual holders has diminished. There can be no doubt that the high price of Iowa farm lands has proved a temptation to their owners It is reasonable to conjecture that many of them have sold at a profit and have then moved farther west, or emigrated to the Canadian north west_ where land is to be had for nothing. Iowa may be experiencing the re sults which always follow the con solidation of land holdings. Iowa will not become a second Ireland, but it is possible that the same cause which has depopulated Ireland is at work on a smaller scale in Iowa. Friday, Sept. 20.
