quired while working for Uncle Sam
has been OF great benefit to them in
'bettering their position by getting out
side employment
Matters have reached such pass
in the forest service that the per-
sonnel is constantly shifting and
changing. Young men enter the bu-
reau soon after leaving school or COL
lege. and after learning the practical
side of forestry and being promoted
to some extent they except offers
from lumber associations or compa-
nies, colleges, states. railroads and
other corporations interested in for
1estry.
Forestry is a comparatively new
science and occupation in this coun-
try, and the forest service for some
time enjoyed almost monopoly OF
knowledge on the subject. Now the
bureau is regarded as mine OF ma
terial upon which anybody desiring
the services of forester can draw.
During the last few years scores OF
young men have left the bureau to
accept more lucrative employment
elsewhere. 1t is well known that sal
aries in the bureau are comparatively
low. Despite the continual stream OF
designations, the personnel Of the serv.
ice has increased from so In 1901 to
$500. Formerly the forestry bureau
was housed in three rooms in the ag-
..s-
pies a whole big Office building here.
with branch Offices in half a dozen
western cities.

President Taft Holds Travel Record

eled almost necessarily, and from the
presidents personal standpoint it has
been most enjoyable. for all OF the
trips and journeys and excursions up
to two and half years ago were made
at government expense. For since his
first appointment as a Philippine COM
missioner Mr.. Taft has been continual
ly on the payroll OF Uncle Sam, ex-
cepting the short period between his
nomination for the presidency in 1908
and his installation as president on
March 4, 1909.
Since he has been president he has
travelled also at government expenses.
for the president is allowed $25,000
year to cover his getting around"
expenses, an appropriation that came
into being when the railroads cut on
free transportation and congress en-
acted an anti-pass law.
There is rumor of strong opposition
to continuation OF the practice OF
allowing $4,000 year for presiden-
tial travel expenses. II congress
should be so rude as to remove the
means 1t Is a certainty that the re-
naming year and half of the presi-
dents term of Office will be spent
mostly in Washington. To travel re-
quires lot of money, an amount
which President Taft does not per-
sonally command.

There are those who think that the
country is breaking down under the

Is giving way is false superstruc-
ture built up In years OF political
iniquity which sought to roof in the
whole power of government for selfish
individual use The main structure
trembles under the shock, but no
more.
The financial debauch which beset
this country from the election Of 1896
has had no parallel in modern times.
That election was a victory for sound
money, as the people understood 1t.
It was the execution OF bill OF the
country's sale to high finance, as Mr..
Hanna and his followers understood
and gave notice.
What price was paid will never be
known, but the enormity of the cash
sum has never been questioned.
The continuing payments to secure
the bargain are better known-the
$150.000 of life-insurance money to the
Republican exchequer in 1904. the
$26O,O00 raised by Hartman, the
100000 OF the Standard Oil company,
the Frick-Twombly 100000, the Beer
trust, Sugar trust, Coal trust, Steel
trust and other contributions.
Bought and paid for--that was the
accepted position OF the nations gov.
ernment to the special interests. and
with no power left save the courts to
question the validity of the title.
How this private property in gov
ernment was capitalized into individ.
ual pockets is written large in late
history. The tariff was first given
another unfit. and then, with the
Spanish war out of the way, the sup
preston Of competition to get the full
private benefit of tariff swept through
the country like a whirlwind. Trusts
