COST OF MAINTAINING A TUBERCU-
LOSIS SANITORIJM

In preliminary bulletin on the cost OF
maintaining tuberculosis sanatorium, the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis announces to-
day that the average cost per patient per
day in thirty semi-charitable sanatoria
scattered in all parts of the United States
is 81 600. These institutions represent an
annual expenditure of over 81 300, 900 and
over $4,000 days of treatment given each
year. The bulletin, which is part of an
extensive study the National Association
is making for its bureau of information
points out how the country could save
annually at least Sl50,000000, if the indi-
gent consumptives were properly segre-
gated.
1t was found that the food cost in most
institutions represented one-third of the
annual expenditures. The average daily
food cost per patient was so 544 The
expenditures for salaries and wages repre-
sented nearly another third, being so 4Sl
per day per patient out of total of 81 500.
The fuel, oil and light cost was 50 2O6 per
capita per diem or about one-eighth of the
total cost.
The daily cost in the several institutions
ranged all the way from 80 946 per patient
to 81, 555. In the far West and Southwest,
as in Colorado and New Mexico and Cali
fornia the cost was higher than in the East,
in New York and New England, being
81 OBS per patient as against S1.74S.
The total expenditures of the thirty in
situations were 81 1868, 953 2S, while the
total receipts from all sources were 81 ,54S,-
525. "A. More than 20 per cent of the
receipts were received from public funds |
and private benefactions, only IS S per
cent being from patients. Stated in
another way, only IS per cent of the total
expenditures were received from patients. |
the remainder being made up from other
sources.
Computing that there are in the United |
States at least 100000 INDECENT consum- |
tives who should be cared for in charitable |
or semi-charitable sanatoria and hospitals, |
the National Association estimates that |
the annual cost to the country for the treat |
ment Of these persons would be $4,000, 600 |
at the rate Of 81 500 per day per patient |
At the lowest possible estimate, the coun-
try loses 5000, 600 600 a year from the in
capacity Of these INDECENT victims Of tuber-
culosis. This would mean a net saving Of
Sl50,O0O, 600 a year to the United States
If all cases Of consumption who are too poor
TO afford proper treatment in expensive
sanatoria were cared for at the expense Of
the municipality, county or state. And
this annual gain does not include the
enormous saving that would accrue from
the lessened infection due to the segrega- /
ton Of the dangerous consumptives in
institutions.

Speaking of " tariff revision down
wards" Mr.. Thomas Barlow Wal
ker, of Minneapolis, one of the lead
ing business men of the West, sounds
note of alarm. He says we are now
importing, because of low tariffs;
more than we export, and the bal
ance of trade is against us, where it
used to be from S500,000,000 to
S600,OO0,000 annually in our favor.
" Add to this loss," he says, "the
$4,000, 100000 American securities
held abroad, on which we are paying
an average Of 5 percent interest an
nually, and the enormous sums
Americans spend abroad, we are
running grave risks of q financial
crisis from these causes without
hunting for others.
An economic society in Germany
has been in correspondence with
the German consuls all over the
word, investigating the cost of
living, and finds, from replies it has
received that there has been ma
terial advance in cost in every coun-
try where German cOnsuls are To-
Gated, and that covers about all the
civilized nations. Here is another
deadly proof of the iniquitous re-
suits of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
of which our Democratic friends
will, no doubt, take notice.
President Taft seems to have a
little conservation policy all his
own, even in the official absence of
Clifford Pinchot. He has withdrawn
71,51S,5SS acres of coal lands from
settlement, under the law passed at
the last session of Congress, and
thus wipes out all the newspaper
" scare heads" that followed
dismissal.
Governor Hughes was in Wash

q" REVISION DOWNWARDs. :"

We condemn the Page-Aldrlch
tariff bill (sic) as unjust and il
logical and demand a general re-
vision of the tariff downward" So
declare the Vermont Democrats, at
their State Convention in st. Adams
last week. Meanwhile statistics just
furnished for the actual operation
of the Payne-Aldrich law for eleven
months by the U. S. Department
of Commerce and Labor, show,
that: the average ad valorem rate,
under the new law is lower than any
of its predecessors, being 41.l9 per-
cent. The Dingley law, for its en-
tire period, was 1876 percent; the
Wilson law, 1922 and the Mckinley
law 47.10.
The value of imports, during the
past eleven months was S1,445,-
10000, of which nearly half, or to
be exact, 49.14 percent, were entered
free of any duty, which is larger
than under the Dingley or Wilson
laws, and but slightly less than UNI
der the Mckinley law, which adj
mitted sugar free of duty. The Nc
Kinley percentage, including free
sugar, was 53.04.
In view of these figures it will be
interesting ITO watch the Demo-
cratic efforts to convince thinking
people that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law was not revision downward"

Uncle Joe" Cannon says that
Major John w. Powell, at one time
Director of the Geological Survey,
was father" of the conservation
policy. Clifford Pinchot says Theo-

Such is enduring fame!-Major Pow
ell was the originator of the great
plan of retaining the vast arid
regions of the West by irrigation
projects under governmental aus
pjces, as reports of the Geological
Survey, under his direction, prove.
He worked out comprehensive plans
of irrigation and hammered at Con-
gress for years to appropriate money
for their execution. Appropriations
were made and the Major got the
work well started before he died.
Both Roosevelt and Pinchot were
very young men in those days, not
