or thirty men in the treasury depart.
ment three or four weeks to count as
an incident of the change of admin
istration.
More than two-thirds of this sum is
expended by Great Britain and the
nations of the European continent.
Mexico and the states Of South Ameri-
ca make up a scant $105, 100000, while
the United States, Japan and British
India spend the rest. On the other
hand, taking the ten leading nations
of the world, their expenditures for
armies and navies and incidentals of
military preparations equal almost the
grand total. Austria-Hungary, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan,
Russia, Spain, Turkey and the United
States spend together each year at
least s1,9OO,OOO,OOO, or nearly two bill
lions of dollars.
For these ten nations, which are
leading in the race for greater arma-
ments, figures ofone year are eclipsed
by those Of succeeding years, so that
two billions of dollars probably by
this time represents the sum total of
the annual military bills which the
people of those countries must pay.
Here is the table for the cost of
armies and navies to these ten ma
tions, compiled from the latest figures
available:

In building a small house, 1t is Gus

not pay, for instance, to use outside
doors that are less than one and three
quarter inches in thickness. You can
put on cheaper ones, and dress them
up so that they look all right for a
while; but after a time the panels
split and the doors warp until 1t is an
aggravation to open or shut one. Then
repairs are necessary, and you put
more expense on the job than would

Last Obstacle in Canal Removed.

An electric spark, set in mo-
ton by the President of the Unit
ed States in Washington, Friday
afternoon, Oct. 10, exploded a
vast store of dynamite under the
Gamboa dixie in the Panama ca
nal, thus removing the last OBJ
s.acle to the wedding of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans through
the cut across the narrow 18TH
mus and marking the practical
completion of the gigantic task
which the United States govern
ment began several years ago.
There remain yet some cleanup
jobs" as there always are after
any great work of construction,
before the canal will be open to
navigation through its entire
length, but the Panama canal is
now an actuality. 1t is interest
ing to note, in the dispatcEe;
from the canal zone, that Philip
Buneau Varilla, the distinguish
ed French engineer, who was on
the isthmus when the French
were attempting the task which
proved too big for them, saw the
blowing up of Gamboa dixie Fri
day afternoon and understood
that it meant success for the
United States where his own
country had failed. The origi-
nal promise of the American en-
gineers was that the canal could
be completed by 1915 it is now
assured the big ditch will be open
to navigation a year in advance
of the date first set, and that the
cost will be less by several mil.
lions of dollars than was contem.
plated at the start. The remova
of the Gamboa dixie, the last bar.
rier between the waters of the
two great oceans, is a epoch
marking event in the history Of
the canal, and Friday, October
10, 1913, will be remembered al
the day the job was finished. :

Boring in the Iatt oil field near
Colfax has been going on steadi-
ly for the last few days. They
have set their 10 inch pipe with
cement on a rock at a depth of
about 200 feet, and after boring
through the rock will go down
with an 8 inch pipe. The find
ing of gas is regarded as a mat
ter of only a few days, and, in
order to guard against accident
from cigarette smokers and
others who may be careless about
striking matches near the well,
a fence will be built around it,
and no outsider will be allowed
within it.

Purity in Primary Elections.

"a Democrat" writes the
Chronicle a letter this week, urg-
ing honesty in politics, and con-
ltending that Democrats should
stand on guard in our party pri-
maries. No man who is not reg
:istered as a Democrat at least
thirty days before primary elec-
ton has any right to uote in a
Democratic primary election. 1t
he has failed to comply with the
law and register as Democrat,
he has no right to vote on affida-
Wit in that election. His name
must appear on the registration
lists, or he should be ruled out
! by commissioners. no matter how
well he may otherwise be quail.
: fed as a legal voter. This is the
law, and negligent Democrats
! who fail to register as such are
no more entitled to take part ii
la Democratic primary than is
known Socialist or Republican.

Seventh-Other articles will
have the tax reduced on them
nearly one-half. Atpresent they
are taxed on the basis of twenty
to fifty per cent of their valua-
ton at the customs houses. The
present bill reduces this to &c

Eighth-For benefit of mother

How the New Tariff Law Will Affect
You. Mr.. Ultimate Consumer.

How the New Tariff Law will Affect
You, Mr.. Ultimate Consumer.
The new tariff law signed by
President Wilson at 9 o'clock p.
M, Oct. 8, is synopsized as fol-
lows:
First-It won't reduce the cost
of living perceptibly at first. A
good many things go to make up
your cost of living.
Second The new tariff does
untax a lot of things you use.
A small fraction of a cent was
added by the old tariff to nearly
everything you eat, wear and
use. This new law takes off this
small fraction of a cent.
Third You share the benefit
of this fact: That eighty mil
lions of dollars, formerly paid by
you and other consumers, will be
raised by a tax on incomes of
$4,000 and upward.
Fourth y our principal necess-
titles have been put on the free
list. They are, therefore, ex-
empt from any further tariff tax.
These articles are meat, cattle,
sheep, hogs, eggs, lard, white
flour, buckwheat, potatoes, fish,
shrimps, Holsters, lumber, raw
wool, tea, coal, herbs for drugs,
sole leather, all manufactures OF
leather, including boots and
shoes; harness and saddles, pig
iron, rough furs. typewfiters,
cement, cocoa, books, cheap en-
cravings and cheap pictures
cash registers, nails, print paper
moving picture films, tanning
materials. barbed wire and al
agricultural implements.

Vessel Burned in Mid Ocean and 135
Lives Lost.
A wireless message reached
London last Saturday, Oct. IL,
from mid-ocean of the most
frightful Atlantic disaster that
has occurred since the Titanic
was wrecked. The German
steamer Volturno was burned,
and out of a list of 656 persons
on board 1876 lost their lives, 521
being rescued.
The steamer Carmania, from
New York to Liverpool, was Is
miles away when it picked up
the wireless message of the fire.
1t put on all speed and went to
the rescue, and was the first tc
reach the scene of the disaster,
but owing to storm which pre-.
vailed it was powerless to reach
the burning vessel. 1t was soor
followed by nine other vessels.
Finally these vessels, by the
most heroic efforts, succeeded in
rescuing 521 of those whose lives
were in such great peril from
watery graves.
