PLANNING BOARD CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE most complete narratives ever com- ! piled of the state’s institutions, } population trends, and natural and human resources Agriculture, manufacturing and mineral possibilities are included in the data assembled after months I of work by a research Staff. ’ The objective ot the state plan ' nlug board is set forth its "the '] provision of healthful, convenient, pleasant living conditions in siluaj lions affording abundant opportunity for the proper utilization of the ! talents and ability of all Individ- .' uals in a manner profitable to each. I "Calm and deliberate thinking upon the needs of the entire population is essential," it continues. "This false influences of periods of prosperity and want must be a ] voided. A vast amount of erroneous I thinking prevails under situations of abnormality." Commenting on population I trends the book says: "The gradual shift of Indiana , population from rural to urban life lis show n by the number ot nonfarm families. 76.3 per cent of the total. An interesting fact is the showing that there were more fore!closures in good farming areas than 1 in the poorer farm districts. Six per cent of the state’s farms are I now in the hands of insurance ! companies. • "Economic necessity has forced 1 many families to flock into the j area of poor homes, contributing to 'the slum problem. The mobile pop- ] illation of such areas attracts crintI itials, and the crime rate increases. "In one such area in Evansville, ; the cost of social services provid- ; ed by the city was found to be $6.I 500 more than the amount contributed by it in taxes.” The book contains a chart show ing an area of “economic drain" in Indianapolis. Ten per cent of the city’s population lives in this area but 26 per cent of the municipal expenditures go into it for social services. In the chapter on land use, the report says: "The chief concern of the state planning board at this time is the use of rural land. The recent depression has emphasized the neces- | sity of solving this problem and many agencies both private arid governmental are giving it serious j consideration." ! Possible uses of land unsuited ’ for agriculture, the report says, in- ] ‘ elude wild life refuges, state parks, ' state forests, recreational areas, and road side camps. Per capita income of farm lands is greater in northern Indiana than in the southern area according to a chart on farm land income. It I shows $323 per person in 50 northern counties, compared to only $224 in 42 southern Indiana coun- ] ties. The question of economic security in connection with living standards is discussed in the report under the heading of “Gainful Occupation." It says in part:

"Gainful employment for all the I people of the state is essential to the maintenance of a uniformly high standard of living conditions. The bare necessities of living must . be secured, but it is also a fundamental necessity that there be present the opportunity for individual I progress. “Herein lies the difference between the American idea of intelligent planning and the destructive methods which travel under the I term of regimentation. Individual initiative must always remain a paramount objective.” From a farming standpoint the ' book is an index of production, reI sources and income, setting forth I the figures by counties in certain I lines, particularly cattle, sheep, hogs, egg production and field crops. bailor has its part in a chart showing the yearly income in various lines of industry, and the rise and fall in the war after war periods. Present and proposed state properties. the land acquisition program. public health, food supplies, j oil, gas and coal deposits, and health statistics are included in the report. Establishment of the steel mills at Gary and the accompanying trend of the state's population from rural to urban districts in all areas, are cited. In the year 1890. the report shows. Indiana’s population was 62.8 per cent rural. Gradually the proportion fell, and the steel mill settlement in the lakes region merely dramatized a state wide tendency. In 1900, the population was only 55.2 per cent rural; in 1910, 46.5 per cent; in 1920, 39.3 per cent, and in 1930, the last date on which the survey was made, 35.2 per cent. The future trend of public improvements may be marked out by the board if the annual reports are to be used as a guide.

Biographical Sketch Os New Leader Os American Legion
