The Census Patronage.

Congress has finally agreed on
bill appropriating s1O,Oo0O00 for TAX
ing the 18th census. This involves the
paying out of about IL cents per head
as starter in the work of enumera-
ton. There has been hesitation about
the action of congress growing out OF
a determined effort to make clean work
of the census taking, which has in the
past been largely given over to politl-
cal jobbery. AS result there will be
competitive examinations OF all persons
employed, under the direction of the
civil service commission. Only one
person in each family will be admitted
to employment This provision is made
to apply to all branches of the service
as preventive of the customary nepo-
tism. A geographical apportionment is
also provided for.
Perhaps the most important pro-
vision in the bin is that requiring that
all examinations of applicants for Off
ces shall sLe conducted in the states in
which the applicants live, and that n
person taking the examination must
have lived in the state at least a year.
This is intended to give each state its
fair quota of employees and to prevent
the overlooking of the government de-
partments by persons from the Dis
trict of Columbia and states close 10
the capital.
These regulations will go far not
only to secure competent work by
persons familiar with the labor in
hand, but TO prevent undue delay and
in accuracy. The work of the last cen
sus was so grievously behind hand in
the publication as TO be practically
useless for the purposes of reference

At the age of twenty nine Bessie
Pryor was forced to sit down and take
stock of herself. her requirements and
her future. The money her father had
left her, which she had foolishly be-
lievcd would last forever. was gone,
with the exception of few hundred
dollars
She had had good time with it. AS
she looked back over recent years
and considered how she had spent 1t
she had 10 admit that she had had a
very good time with it. First she
had had four years II the best college
in the country; she had had a year of
foreign travel; she had been much
about her own country; she had had
seasons in the mountains. seasons ut
the seashore, seasons in the city; she
had heard the, best music. seen the
best plays and studied the best pie
lures in the world. And. rs for clothes,
she had worn right and left the finest
productions of the shops and expert
enced modistes.
Now all of this was at an end sud
denly. She had had last interview
with her fathers old attorney. and he
had told her the truth. She had used
up her means. The past summer had
written fms to the story OF her prodi-
gality. Only few hundred remained.
What was she TO do?
OF course there was Aunt Bess. FOR
whom she had been Iamed-Aunt Bess,

Fourth q Busy Day.
Washington. July 6.-The Fourth of
July was the senate's busy day.
The day was devoted in the main to
the consideration of the administra-
tive provisions of the tariff bill and to
the Brown resolution providing for the
submission of the question of an in
come tax to the legislatures of the
various states. which, while not a part
of the tariff bill. is so related to it as
TO have made il necessary to consider
it in connection with the bill
Little Left 10 he Done.
Not since the tariff bill has come
into the senate has so much been &C.
complished within a day. When the
sitting ended. summary of the pro-
ceedings showed that there was very
little left to be done. The principal
item still to be. considered was the to-
bacco tax, figures on which had not
been completed by the committee
when the senate adjourned.
Attention was given to the draw
back feature TO the bill. relative to
which the finance committee made no
recommendation beyond striking out
the house provision, which would have
the effect of throwing the whole ques-
ton into the conference. In the SEN
ate, however. several amendments
were made, some of which were per-
mitted, at McCumber's instance. to sat
isfy the grain producers of the north
west. A number of other minor addi
tons were also made and all admin
istrative features were disposed of.
VIII Submit Income Tax.
The income tax resolution of Brown
of Nebraska was adopted. The resolu
ton submits 10 the legislatures of the
states as an amendment to the ma
tional constitution providing that con.
gress shall have power TO lay and col
leet taxes on incomes, from whateve,
source derived, without apportionment
among the several states. and without
regard to any census or enumera ton
There were three hours of debate
over this measure.

NATIONAL FORESTS GUARD.
Fires to Be Watched From Lookout
Stations on Mountain Peaks.

Working along the line of securing
the greatest results in protection
against fire with minimum of eX-
penditure, the forest service has de-
cided to establish on the most advan-
tageous points of the national forests
from which news of the breaking out
of forest fires can be telephoned to for
est officials.
Since all of these stations will COM
mand view of the country for miles
around. the work of detecting and eX-
tinguishing fires in their incipieucy
will by this plan be greatly expedited,
with the result that many thousands
of dollars worth of valuable timber
will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry and the rain-
fall light. Conditions, therefore, are re-
markably favorable for the spread Of
fire, and extraordinary diligence is nee
essary III patrolling dangerous areas.
To administer the vast area included
in the national forests, approximately
1876 100000 acres. the government has
about 1.4O0 men in the field. If each
man could be used for fire patrol he
would have to cover approximately
5000 acres. AS a matter of fact.
however, the volume of business on
the national forests has grown to such
proportions that less than % per cent
Of the force is available. This makes
it necessary to spread an average
mans service over nearly four times
13S,OOO acres. decreasing fire protec-
ton far below the point of safety in
many cases.
In the face Of this. however. fire
losses on the national forests are
kept at point where they are trivial
! when compared with the damage
| which would be caused were the lands
| contained in the national forests un-
protected.

Pennsylvania company. The exact
terms of the settlement have not yet

fession of guilt. The rascality in the
first case was systematic and long con-
tinued, covering at least decade. and
probably much longer space of time.
But the sesond offense was more de-
spicable. for it consisted in ruining

Trusts.

The sugar trust 1.-THE American SUI
gar Refining company was forced to
pay to the government two and one
third million dollars because for 10
years 1t had been engaged in swindling
the government by use of false scales.
Another case of trust manipulation
is found against this same company,
this being in the nature of crushing
competition. The Outlook tells the
story briefly as follows:
.Adolph Segal in 1902 organized the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company
for the purpose of competing with the
sugar trust. The company built in
Philadelphia one of the most complete
and well equipped sugar refineries in
the country. Before the refinery was
opened Mr.. Segal found himself finan-
sally involved. and borrowed $780,
00G from Gustav, Kissel The security
for the loan consisted chiefly of stock
of the new refining company, apd with
