SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year In Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly SO, 900, 900 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912, &C.
cording to the fourth annual statisti-
cal statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item in the
total, amounting to nearly SIC, 500, 900.
This is an increase of nearly $1,000
600 over the same group OF expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti,
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over S765, 900, while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over $500, 900. over $415,000
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment Of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose in 1911. Official, state and mu-
nicipal expenditures outside of the
maintenance OF institutions, which are
included in the other totals, amount
ed to s2S0,000. In addition TO these
figures, about $500, 900 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal insti-
buttons in caring for their tuberculosis
inmates.

Decided Stand BY Byrnc.

Gov. Byrne has taken a decided
stand in regard to a%ppointive officers
keeping their headquarters at other
places than the capitol. His position
is that such as the public examiner.
the adjutant general. game warden
and other appoiDtive officers are sup
posed to be at the state capitol, and
will be. This order will not be pushed
until after the close of the present
session. as the Office room would be
crowded for that time, but as soon as
the session is over there is plenty of
room for all the appointive depart
ments. and they will be expected TO
occupy them. .
The question of referendum laws
will be opened up in good shape soon
with a number of measures looking to
changes in the percentage of the vote
required to invoke the initiative or
recall features. The complaint comes
generally from cities where the recall
features are being used 10 hamper
rather than help municipal reforms.
In many cases it is charged the recall
is invoked on an officer by those who
are DESTROYS of avoiding compliance
with law. They bring out the recall
when an official demands that they
come under the same legal provisions
which are supposed to apply to ali
citizens.
