The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-06-11

A "Village Improvement Society,""
organized and conducted as such socie-
ties are in many places throughout the
east and south, might accomplish a
great deal here toward identifying our
naturally charming town. More side
walks are needed; the main street is
susceptible Of much improvement;
numerous deciduous shade trees should
be set out and the identifying of home
grounds with flowers, shrubs, ETC.
which grow so beautifully and luxuri-
antly here, should be encouraged. The
county square, where it is to be hoped
that creditsble court house building
will ERE long be erected, should be en-
closed with q neat aud substantial
fence and hardy trees planted which
would in few years add much to the
attractiveness Of the block, and the
same kind of improvement should be
made on the school house lot. There
is really little excuse for the county
seat OF thriving county like this re-
manning longer content with no more
government or control than the small
est backwoods hamlet has. 1t should
be incorporated and have an indepen-
dent existence as a town.

officer $500, be asked him to divide it

of Thompson was freshly dug. The

PUBLIC EXPENSES

Professor Bullock, of Williams col
lege contributes to the Political Science
Quarterly a carefully prepared article
showing the rapid growth of govern
ment expenses during the last century.
Beginning with 1892, when the total
expenditures of the United States, ex-
cept what came from postotiice rev.
snues, were IS, 269,O00, or S2.04 per
capita, he gives the totals down to the
present time, when they are SAT- $780,
600, 1896 per capita, or sixty times in
amount and three fold per capita those
of 40 years ago. The lowest cost of
the general government per capita was
in 1910, when it fell to SLIT, and IN
1860 il was only SOL. Since then it
has advanced by leaps and bounds,
outrunning the increase in population
and makl g necessary appropriations
by congress Of enormous sums, which
would bankrupt many other strong
nations.
This is partially because all service
costs more than it did fifty years ago,
but mainly because ours is steadily be.
coming more and more II paternal gov
eminent, which does for people much
more than ii did or was asked to do
formerly. And it Is the same with our
state and local governments. Just be-
fore the war of the rebellion the total
payments by tho New Hampshire
state treasury, for instance, were
only about 1900, an amount that a
legislature in these times thinks moth
ing Of voting for mountain roads, a
Normal school building or sanator-
ium.

went south, where he secured the COM
