LESSON IN CONSERVATION

Something of lesson in practical
conservation of natural resources in
which the people share the benefits has
been furnished government officials by
George T. Simpson, attorney general
of Minnesota 1t is not putting it
mildly when we say that government
officials were amazed when Mr.. Simp-
son told them that within the next
half century Minnesota will receive
$3.50, 100000 in the form of royalties
paid on mineral deposits in state lands.
When Minnesota discovered that vast
mineral deposits, chiefly iron ore, I'M
derlay swamp lands therefore consid-
cred almost valueless, the state adopted
policy of collecting royalty from
those who were permitted toworw the
mines and provided that the principal
should be invested and only income
appropriated for current needs
Thus far, according to Mr.. Simpson,
the annual income thus derived
amounts to 100000 and if the pres
ent rate of interest, per cent, can
be secured on the entire amount of
royalties in sight, the state will ulti-
mately enjoy an annual income of
$l0,000,000 which will 90 far to obvi-
ate the necessity of taxation for
school and other state needs. Under the
swamp lands act of lS4l the state
acquired title to many acres of swamp
lands supposed to be of little value
by the federal government, and which
state officials viewed as far more of
problem than resources. For many
years these lands lay practically idle
and afforded no revenue but the dis
covery of iron ore changed all that
and they are now one of the most
valuable resources of the state.

AN UNSELFlSH REFORM

Stanton Daily Leader: "One thing
that must have appealed to the vast
audience which heard DIR. Mccormack
lecture here on the prevention of dis
ease, was the absolute unselfishness OF
the reform advocated 1t is known of
all men that doctors live by the ills OF
humanity even as lawyers live by their
other trials and tribuatiOns. So we
can readily understand that the strenu-
Gus efforts being put forward by the
physicians all over the land, to edu-
cate the people to good health, can
only be actuated by the best of mo-
tives. 1t is unselfshness and human
ity in their broadcast sense, and should
receive united encouragement and sup
port from the masses of the people.
The doctors have everything to lose
and little to gain by the promotion of
sanitary measures and the sacrifice is
being made purely for the advancement
of science and the cause of humanity"
DR.. Mccormack will lecture at the
Presbyterian church this evening. He
should have a large audience. His mis-
sion is to impart to the people much
information on health and
His will not be a technical
but what he has to say
will be told in plain language-so
plain that no one can misunderstood
him,
