hands Of the Democratic party and a
Democratic treasurer succeeded the
former Republican incumbent, a def
cit of 2 cents was found at the count,
but the missing coppers were found
behind one of the desks after a few
days. A few years ago it was found
at one Of these counts that one $1,000
bill was missing. The treasurer made
good the amount and was later on re.
imbursed by Congress.
Upon another occasion, a few years
ago. one Of the colored men employ.
ed at the count to carry coin bags
from the vault to the weighing coun
ter and back, stole about 500 silve.
dollars from the bags, Substituting for
them lead pieces of the same weight
as the silver dollars. He was de-
tected, however, arrested and punish
ed. The dection of the mans dis
honesty made it necessary to open
every single coin bag in the vaults
and to verify their contents by actual
count.
The committee entrusted with the
task of the count consists of the chief
Of the public moneys division, the
chief of the loans and currency divIs-
ion and personal representatives of
the retiring and the incoming treas
ureer. The vaults we're turned over
to the committee today and carefully
closed and sealed. The contents Of
the vaults will not be disturbed dur
ing the count excepting for the pur-
pose of counting the funds. Only
enough money to keep the wheels of
the government revolving has been
kept apart for use while the count
is in progress. The vaults will be seal
ed at the close of every workday and
will not be removed until the count
is completed and the new treasurer
read yto hand his receipt to the pred
ecessor in Office. When Carmi Thomp-
son succeeded Lee McClung as treas
urer he received more than $4,000 900.
He must account for every cent OF
that amount, plus the millions he has
since received, minus expenditures.

SANS MONEY
Small Army CT Trusted Employees
viii Complete the Work In About
-Four Months-Some Mistakes Have
Been Made and One Person Was
Punished Because of Dishonesty.

WASHINGTON. April John
Burke, former governor Of North Da.
kota, took the oath of Office as rsas-
urer Of the United States today and
entered upon the duties Of his Office
succeeding Carni A. Thompson, OF
Ohio, who had succeeded United
States Treasurer Lee McClung in De
cember of 1912. As the law requires
that the retiring ~tressurerfs record OF
the transfer of funds he verified by
an actual count Of the notes, coin and
securities in the treasury whenever
there is a change of treasurers, the
tremendous task of counting the
hoard of approximately $1,500.0 00, 900
contained in the vaults of the national
treasury was begun today. This gi
gantic task which, it is estimated,
would take one person about 800
years, will be completed by a small
army OF trusted employees under the
direction and supervision OF the com
mittee which Secretary MeAdoo has
appointed for that purpose, in from
two to four months. The work is car
ried on during office hours only, be-
ginning at $50 in the morning and
closing at 4.30. in the afternoon.
All of the paper money is counted
piece by piece, but the gold and sill
yer coin, usually stored in canvas
bags, is counted by weigh, unless
some error is detetted which makes
1t necessary to open every one of the
bags and TO counte its contents. A
test bag, the contents OF which have
been counted and found correct, is
placed upon the scales and balanced
against the other bags for vertical
ton. Each bay is checked and re-
checked before it is returned to the
vaults and great precautions are tax
en- to prevent theft. Armed guards
stand over the counters and workmen
to protect them from interference.

bags in removing them from the
stacks, passing them from hand to
hand to the weighing counters and
back again to the vaults to be re

considerable physical strength. The
counting of the paper money and Sc
curities, while not so strenuous, re-
quires great skill and accuracy,
In the course OF time there have
been many counts of the funds in the
Tnited States treasury, but nearly in
every case the actual contents of the
vaults correspond exactly with the
amounts listed in the books and ac-

SHORT TERM TENANT FARMING.

One of the most important and one
of the least considered economic
changes of recent years is the in
crease of tenant farming. Under the
impression apparently, that tenant
farming was indicative of a distressed
state of agriculture. and conscious Of
his divine call to remedy all ills and
confer prosperity upon all classes.
that comprise large numbers of vo-
ters.4' Mr.. Roosevelt promised in his
platform of last year to put an end to
tenant farming, The results Of the
election were such that we cannot de-
mand that he should tell us how to do
it.
But tenant farming is not the re-
suit of agricultural distress; quite the
reverse. The value of farms has dou-
bled and more than that in a decade
andaat the present prices of farm
products the old farmer, who got his
land for five or ten dollars an acre,
can. rent to a %youngster who hasn't
money enough to buy a farm at pres
ent prices, and he can go to town to
live with ma and the girls on his rent
money.
This being the cause of tenant farm
ingytwe are not sure that ever Mr..
ROOSEVELT could do anything about it.
But there is one phase of tenant farm
ing that may possibly be amenable to
a legislative remedy. We are not con.
ident that the law can cure even This
incidental evil; but it is worth consid-
eringi Tenant farming is not a1yan-
tagepns for the land, but on long
leases il is not actually injurious; the
tenant may in the course Of years put
in as much as he takes out.
But if he is on a yearly tenancy ne
certainly won't, The director of the
State College Extension Department
in Iowa says that the yearly farm ten
ancy is "a greater menace to the
country than war, famine and pesii.
lence combined" The national and
State agricultural departments and
colleges and experiment stations, the
agricultural societies and periodicals,
even railroads and associations of
financiers, are trying to induce the
farmers to improve the productivity
OF the soil, and the farmer on a year
ly lease will 40 the very least shat he
can for the soil, purposing when the
ground is o much worn our to moFe
elsewhere.
lmtlSS0 2S.S per cent OF the Iowa
farms were held by tenants. The per
centage was ISL in 1890 and 37.S in
1909. In seven counties in the north
west part of the State the percentage
now exceeds so and the growth for
twenty years previous to 1900 indi-
Gates that it anne be much less than
so per G n now for the entire State.
Mr. Kennedy enumerates seven hand
leaps under which the tenant farmer
labors, and as the result OF all Of tnem
INSTEAD of farming, he mines the
soil" He urges long-term leases with
renewal options, rentals for cash and
a credit system under which the far
ME can borrow as cheaply as the
land owner.
The land owners ought to see that
the yearly tenancy will in a short
time destroy the value OF the prop
erty,-
