COSTS 1887 PER HEAD
OPERATE GOPHERS State

st. Paul, April 3.-The actual per
is 1897, and not $7.14, as estimated
by Howard Folsom, clerk of the
house appropriations committee, ac-
cording to a statement issued yes
terday by State Auditor Samuel C.
Iverson
Mr. Folsom took 1910 figures as a
basis of comparison of Minnesota,
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Montana and Wisconsin and estimat.
ed that Minnesota spends more than
any of the others per capita. New
York is second with $6.57.
Mr.. lverson says on the other
hand. Minnesota spends only 35
cents more for each person governed
than Illinois, which is the lowest.
with $500.
In arriving at his estimate the au-
ditor says he does not consider the
various state trust funds should be
included in the total receipts He
would use only the revenue fund as
basis for a comparison, and this
even is materially reduced by the
elimination from the receipts of the
prison Irvine plant, county ditch and
state school funds, leaving $685.
551.72 actually spent for the Ordin-
airy purposes of government and
raised by state wide taxation of rail
road and corporation taxes.

"Woman's Dress to
Drive World Insane"
Head of Sanitarium Declares II Is
Only Question of Few Years
Before Everyone is Mad.

WASHINGTON, June THE
world is rapidly going insane, and
the present day women's fashions are
responsible for much of the i'm
morality of the period. These state
ments were made by DR.. w A. Ruble,
president of the College of Medical
Evangelists and superintendent Of
the Iona Linda (CaL) Sanitarium.
DR.. Ruble declared that II insan-
ity continued to increase at the rate
it had, within the next hundred years
there would be more insane people
in the world than sane, and that the
insane would set the few sane crazy.
Alcohol, he declared, was directly
responsible for twenty per cent Of the
insane, and indirectly responsible for
much more than that This, together
with the social evil, are the principal
causes Of insanity. he declared.
There is not one person who is
perfect mentally. We have lapses Of
memory. and this shows that we are
not perfect mentally. Then why
should we worry? There is none of
us but what can overcome these diff
culties. The habit of worry may be
overcome"

Committee Against
Recalling Senators.

WASHINGTON June Demo
cratic Senators on the overman lobby
investigating committee to-day ex-
pressed the opinion that the admis-
sion Of Senator Townsend that he had
no specific information on which to
base his accusation Of lobbying
against President Wilson has made it
unnecessary TO recall Senators who
have testified
Il see no reason for recalling those
Senators who have testified said
Senator Reed, acting chairman OF the
investigating committee. Senator
Townsend's charge was based simply
on the interest Of the administration
IN the tariff bill. He has admitted
that this interest was natural and that
the acts Of the administration merely
followed presidents established by
the parties n power since the creation
OF republican government. Personally.
1 shall not request any Senator to
again TESTIFY on this matter"
Senator Walsh, the other Demo-
cratic member present to-day, sec
onded this view. Senators Cummins
and Nelson were inclined 70 differ and
Cummins has announced that he will
bring 10 the attention OF the commit
tee facts regarding the shadowing OF
legislators by detectives. II is be
Heved he will ask the recall Of several
Senators 10 question them along this
line
