A recent study shows that she is probably the most rapidly growing capital city in the United States. Comparison with other Michigan cities shows that Lansing ranks second among Michigan cities in the comparative percentage of increase in the num- ber of wage earners, in the cum- automobile factories, Lansing's in- dustries are splendidly diversified and she is known in many foreign countries through products which have no connection with the auto- mobile. She is, furthermore, attracting much attention as a wholesale and distributing center. And she has splendid stores and hotels. She is a popular convention city. With a business background such as this Lansing may well look to the fu- ture with confidence.

King Solo- mon once said "Where there is no vision the people perish." The writer is impressed with the fact that a group of Lansing people with real vision are even now plan- ning to make this city and East Lansing the real musical center of Michigan. This move, along with her forward-looking policy,of pro- viding the best in schools, in churches and character-moulding institutions as well as in parks and playgrounds spells almost certain growth and progress. One more thought—research de- parative increase in value of pro- ducts produced, and in the com- parative increase in total wages paid between 1899 and 1925—and fourth in comparative increase in population between 1901 and 1926. In the first three cases the only city leading as was Flint— and in the other three cases only Flint, Pontiac and Detroit were able to show us their heels.

For Lansing that figure is just around the corner. So, in the esti- mation of the writer, Lansing's fu- ture is a very promising one. If her people will continue to think together and work together there seems no reason to believe that the years to conic will be anything but happy and prosperous ones. The latest official figures avail- able covering Lansing's payroll are those compiled from statements furnished by the manufacturers under the Workmen's Compensa- tion Act. These figures show a total payroll for Lansing for the year 1927 as $29,452,360. Accurate records on number of men employed in 18 leading indus- tries of Lansing show a greater number of men employed at the present time than at any other time for the past seven years. The peak of employment for the pres- ent year was reached for the week ending July 21, when the rec- ords showed 16,857 men employed in the above mentioned 18 indus- tries. At no time for the past seven years has employment in these same industries exceeded 15,1)00. The number of men employed in Lansing's 18 leading industries constitute about 80-85 per cent of total factory employment. KSSOMMEEMMEMUMWST rest.
