dition of these unsatisfactor institu-
tions were successful in particula'
instances, but on the whole the list
of so-called ssbad" banks was never
materially reduced in numbers until
the Inauguration of series of ad.
ministratiye reforms q little over a
year ago. As the result of the sue
cessful working out of the various
reform measures which have been a
feature of the administration of The
Comptroller's Office since September
1908, a complete rehabilitation Of
the unsound and poorly managed
banks as has been effected. By
persistant pressure from the Comp
troller's office, and with, the coop
Grafton of bank officers and directors
the status of these banks has been
so improved that there is not now
any bank on the '.bad" list. This
IS noteworthy achievement and q
most remarkable one to have been
obtained in SO short time. It has
immessurably benefited the general
banking situation and will add mnch
to the prestige Of the national sys-
tenn II has demonstrated very
clearly the benefit of Government
supervision, sealously and lntelli
gently directed.

SOME FIGURES PRESENTED.

AS is generally known, the writer
has always OPP osed high protective
tariff, believing that tariff for
revenue with incidental protection,
covering the difference between for
eign and American labor as the best
tariff law for the country and the one
that would save the home consumer
from robbery and furnish a revenue
for the support of the government.
Of late we have been figuring
some and arrived at conclusions that
may be surprise to many as they
are to US. During the year ending
June 81, 1910. it cost ST, O44, Ola. 1913. %
to run the government for the fiscal
year which meant $3.50 for every
man, woman and child in the country.
Of this amount, the sum uf $340. OOO-
900 was provided by the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law, during which time the
highly protected industries were
taking from the peupIe the enormous
sum of 81, 700. 900. 900 or $2l.25 for
every man, woman and child. That
means, that we have been paying the
sum of 500. rs in order that the COVER
ment should get $3.50. Stop and
figure what it means to q family of
four or more in way of expense. Has
labor been benefited by high duties
on imports? No. Take the steel
Trust which declares divide ads annu-
ally amounting to millions upon mill
ions and labor is paid wrecked wages,
and there is no protection against
cheap foreign labor. The over supply
redu cling the wage scale down to a
bare living point. The president no
doubt spoke the truth when he said :
that the Payne-Aldrich tariff did not
suit him, but that it was the best
that could be secured under the cir
cumstances. Everybody knows that
it would have been different had it
not been for the selfish trading of
local interests and demands, republic
cans and democrats alike giving sup
port to the bill because of local home
demands. And it is to BIZ hoped that
the next congress, brushing aside sell
fish interests, will give US an
equitable tariff, which will not rob the
many for the few.

BELLE FOURCHE

Irrigation Project Great SUCCESS
Government Engineers Inspect
Great South Dakota Project,
It is said that the Board of United
States Engineers that recently visited
the Government Irrigation Project at
Belle Fourche is apparently very much
interested in the advantages which
the project offers. and it IS believed
that they will recommend to Congress
additional expenditures for this de-
velopment work.
The cost figures for the Belle
Fourche project are among the lowest
the Government Reclamation Service
has been able to secure. Over 100.
600 acres of land have been reclaimed,
and the Chicago & North Western
Railway has opened an extension of
it's Black Hills line from Bell. Four
che to the government town site at
Newell.
Settlers are taking the farms as
soon as they are placed over the
ditch, and the Belle Fourche Valley,
which has been stricly cattle range
country, promises to become densely
populated at an early date, and a
region with splendid crops. Belle
F0urche is nearer the eastern markets
than many Of the other Government
projects. The O. & N. v. Ry.
maintains two direct lines to Chicago
and the west.
The party consists of Brigadier
General Marshall. retired (who was
until recently ut the head of the U.
s. Engineers), Col. Biddle, Col.
LonRtitt, Major Harris, Major Kutz,
Major Burgess. Mr.. F. II. Newell,
director of the Reclamation service,
and Mr.. R. F. Walter, Reclamation
Service Engineer. who was in direct
charge of the work being done ry the
government at Belle Fourche.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

At the state election held Monday
in Maine the democrats carried the
state by substantial majority and
elected two out of three congress-
men. The legislature. it is thought,
will be democratic, and Senator Hale
will be succeeded by a democrat. The
questions involved in the campaign
were confined to state affairs and the
prohibition laws and their enforcement
It is the first time in thirty years
that the state has gone democratic.
which shows that there WAS great
unrest and dissatisfaction with boss
rule in that state.
Party llnes have been obliterated
all over the country by reason Of the
large independent vote which goes for
men rather than to follow the party
label. The question now is: what
does the candidate stand for, not with
what party he Is Identified. The country
is fast Fastening toward the political
system which prevails in England,
each candidate standing on bis own
merits and on the hastings, telling
the people: of the principles which shall
govern bis political action it elected
to represent them in office.
The federal grand jury at Chicago
has returned indictments against ten
Of the beef magnates in that city.
Men who have become enormously
rich manipulating business IN such a
manner as to rob the people by sitting
competition IN violation of Jaw. Be
ing rich. they have labored under the
impression that they were above the
law annd did not fear the courts. If
law could be enacted by which a
few of them could be sent to prison
for term of years, it might do some
good, for they do not care for fines
which the people are made to pay.
If Roosevelt il seeking the republic
can presidential nomination two years
hence, there are thousands of republic
can voters like the writer who will
favor LaFollette, Cummins. Brlstow
Or any other good progressive who
does not travel around with "big
stick" and not hurt the system from
which the political sinews of war
come. The people will demand some
thing beside noise and snorting.
When it becomes necessary for the
democratic party to 60 into court 10
order to secure a mandamus to get
its nominees OIL the state ticket in
spite of the 20 per cent law, it looks
as if about so per cent of the demo-

1t looks az if the progressives were
going to give Jim" Tawney the run
of his life for congress in the First
Minnesota Congressional district. 1t
has been thought by many republicans
that Tawney had been in congress long
enough, and that he ought to be given
a rest.

cratic voters were more interested in
the fractional fight in the republican
party. than they We're in the success
of their own party. 1t may be, how
ever, that the progressive democrats
have come Co stay, being tired of the
inaction and indifference of its leader
as regards great and important nation
al issues.
Yes; it's the Republican ticket, but
what kind of a ticket would it have
been, captain, if the people had
followed your advice Aren't you
thankful that they were more sensible
than to do it-Milwaukee Journal.
Oh Piff1e, Henry. We we're run
ming the Leader the same as the
Journal was run during the campaign
so much per line and inch. and it's
columns Were open to whoever wanted
to buy space without discrimination.
Under the new political dispensation.
we are not supporting men for glory
men who want office for benefits to
accrue. but are unwilling to pay for
services rendered. But, by tn. way,
Henry, We are no feeling very badly,
thank you! Some of the men nomi-
mated are good enough for US and we
are supporting the entire ticket, for
We are a progressive and have been
for years; long before the Journal
saw the light.
A. G. Schmedeman of Madison. the
democratic nominee for congress in
this congressional district, is certainly
very optimistic in thinking that he
has a goud chance to be elected.
Nelson will have Walk away in
Nov ember. the same as he had at
the primary election.
Say. Have you heard from Maine?
The old political buffers must step
dom and let the young, progressive
element in both of the old parties run
them.
The political control of the govern
ment is passing from the east to the
west. Ever since the civil war. the
east has in large measure, shaped
the Legislation of the country on
matters CT and economic character
for it's own benefit, and the entire
country has been forced to contribute
to the enormous wealth of the eastern
magnates. The middle west, has ut
last become aroused to the necessity
o. self-protection against the selfish
esq Of tn. east. and the national legis-
lationg hereafter will not be 80 one
sided as it has been in the past forty
years.
Hon. Hal. A. Cooper, member of
congress for the First Wisconsin dis
trict. would look mighty good in the
speakers chair. The republican del
egation in congress from the state,
should get busy before the caucus is
held to nominate the officers for the
new congress.
In the matter of federal appoint
ments, there ia to be no discrimination
between the factions in the republic
can party. There should not have
been any, providing, the member of
congress making the recommendation
had not made personal attack upon the
chief executive of the nation, which
is in bad taste to say the least.
Differences of opinion on legislation
should not be noticed for we NAV
differ and yet be good republicans.
