HOPES THERE'll Be NO GUT
MR.. MACFARLAND'S VIEW OF
DISTRICT ESTIMATES.
Emphasizes Necessity for Separa.
ton Of Extraordinary Expenses
From Current Account,

Commissioner Mcfarland when asked
today about the prospects of the esti-
mates prepared by the board of Commits
sioners to submit to the next Congress
for the District appropriations commenc-
ing July l next said that the 3d.
667. COO asked for Is absolutely nee
essary.. and 1t would be detrimen-
tai to the interests of the Dis
tr'ct If that sum is cut to any great ex-
tent. He hopes all Of the public spirited
citizens will work together to insure the
adoption OF the COMMISSIONS rs recon-
mendation and prevent cutting of the es-
Inmates.
In response to what Is said to have been
the view of a member Of Congress, as
published this morning, Mr.. Macfarland
said:
Il fear the representative quoted did
not read all that I said, for If he had he
would have seem that while the Commits
sioners' recommendation that the extraor-
binary and current expenditures should be
financed separately appears to be only a
matter Of bookkeeping it is of vital i'm
portance as proposing a business-like
treatment Of this matter, such as is
found IN every other municipality. In

such as the 81 800, 600 asked by, the board
OF education for the physical Improvement
OF the public schools, are not paid for
out Of current revenues, but out of the
proceeds of bonds.
Obvious Conclusion.
obviously. no municipality could pay
for extraordinary improvements and cur
rent expenditures out Of current revenues
without confiscatory taxation. Here we
cannot Issue bonds. and do not need to.
We can borrow from our partner. the
United States, which has the custody OF
our tax money and the control Of all ap.
propriations.
This is what we have done fol-
the past six, years, paying per cent on
But. unfortunately, the advances have not
been charged up to the extraordinary ap-
preparations and kept separate on the
books OF the Treasury. as we desire.
The result has been that the current
expenditures have been cut in the attempt
to make US pay for extraordinary i'm
provements and current expenditures to-
gether. Hence the insufficient appropri-
atoms FOR the schools health. fire, police.
street and road improvements, cleanine
and lighting and other municipal services
All the time we have had sufficient Dis
trict revenues to provide annually rea-
sonable repayment to the Treasury for its
| advances which would cover the extraor-
oAhdiy dScouit' anu also LOT our snare OF
! the current expenditures, for which We
needed no advances from the Treasury
We need no additional taxation, but only
| businesslike financing of our appropri-
atoms.

for the next fiscal year are a little
over 100000. Let Us deduct 5000 DOC

Stealing Elephants in Siam.
rom Country Life,


The stealing of elephants seems to be
procee ding in Siam on a scale which the
owners Of the elephants do not appear to
find at all humorous. The industry in
which the elephants that are stolen are
so largely used Is the teak timber trade
and 1T has been reported by the British
consul that the thefts are interfering
with the profits of the work. The extent
Of the trouble may be Gauged by the sim
pie figures conveyed by the facts that in
a space of little more than a year one
firm had twenty-six elephants stolen, Of
which fourteen were recovered, and an
other twenty-five stolen and thirteen re-
covered. The browning insult appears to
have been the stealing of one Of the
consufs own transport elephants belong
Ing to the British government, which has
now been missing for nearly a year.

as time passes and so many testimon-

country from people who had given up
hope of ever seeing another we'll day,
and neighbor is telling neighbor of
some great good received from the
use of Root Juice, many people are
wondering why this great remedy was
not discovered years ago. What a
great boon to humankind is a remedy
like Root Juice, combination of ma
lures drugs that soothes and heals
and tones the stomach liver, kidneys

how wonderful are the many cures
that Root Juice has made of rheuma-
tism, catarrh. Indigestion, female
weakness and other troubles of the di-
gestive and secretory organs. Those

Varsity Demons and One Who Lived

In Tub.
Once upon time a man lived in a
tub, not made of papiermache, and
held in his hand a candle not made of
orieide bronze Or amalgum tinsel, yet
it burned brightly, though the sun did
shine. His raiment, which was not of
spot1ess ermine, was painfully antique.
His food was unmixed and uncomplex
that the domestic scientists did swoon
when they read his menu card; yet,
strangely enough, it was nutritious. A
coterie of varsity demons meandering
by beheld his dormitory; the varsity
ties, and infests students seeking
knowledge therein (the man in the tub
was no less parsonage than Heredity
himself) The varsity demons. as is
their wont, set upon him, kicked over
his tub and rudely rolled him in the
dust, extinguishing and otherwise bad
ly damaging the burning candle. As
heredity slowly and painfully arose
and shook the dust from his garment
and feet, he muttered, They have
sown the wind and they shall reap the
whirlwind: it hath no stalk Event
ually. the varsity demons took unto
themselves wives after their own kind,
even varsity demonesses. and in due
time they conceived and brought forth

Mosquito.
In a clear lake disported many happy
fishes of rare birth and lineage; also
there resided an anopheleouS mosquito,
who dealt in plasmodium malariae, a
sort Of blood pudding, whom some are
fond of seeking. An evil day befell
the happy fishes; the health officer
journeyed to distant land to further
increase his knowledge of tubercular
beef inspection and Oslerism; when.
taking advantage of his absence, a CO.
hort of reptiles walking upright like
a man, did make a vicious foray upon
the lake, destroying it and devouring
the poor fish. The little ampheleous
mosquito. saddened at this wanton de-
struction of his abode, maddened with
rage at the poor fishes fate, yet, with
diplomatic suavity, did serve them
bountifully with his blood pudding,
whereupon the reptiles fell sick of a

undivine healing, died. and were duly
cremated on the nearby dump.
