There are those who have said it
costs $2O,0OO,0OO to run the state and
point to this large amount OF money
as Indicating loose methods. But the
last report of former state auditor
Samuel G. Iverson showed that expen-
ditures for 1913 and 1914-the fiscal
vears-were about $10,000,00O year.
The dopesters have a habit of getting
mixed up. The S2O,OO0,000 figure rep
resents the amount of business done
bv the state. 1t must be remembered
that moneys like those in the prison
revolving fund are simply turned over
each year and go back to the credit
of the fund.
Dark clouds are appearing on the
horizon as the time comes to decide
whether automobile license fees shall
be turned into the road and bridge
fund instead of into the general re-
venue purse.
Capitol gossip has it that Senator
Robert Dunn wants the money to go
to the roads and bridges, his pet hob
byhorse. But there will undoubtedly
be those who want this money to re-
main in the general fund. Propon-
ents of the plan argue that if the au-
tomobiles destroy the roads then the
license fees from machines should be
used to aid road construction.
By the way, there are about $4,000
automobile owners in the state, ac-
cording to julius A. Schmahl, secre-
tary of state.
"There is every indication that this
number will reach nearly 100000 by

THE NEXT PREaIpEnrT

Colonel Roosevelt turned prophet for

Francisco that johnson is the next
president.
Far be it from us to engage the Colo
mel in debate upon this subject now. But
we think our readers may be interested

a sort of thumbnail sketch of him which

nate a victim with rageweed vaccine

As the patient is never sure of the
cause of his trouble it is necessary
to vaccinate him until the correct

done, immunity is granted from hay

investigators.
As there are around fifty pollen

suffer from it and still not identify the
scientific designation for hay fever.
There are SO many hundreds Of
thousands of people suffering from
hay fever that an association of the
afflicted has been formed in the
United States and it has interested
itself in the investigation of cures. At
the outset it condemned all remedies
containing cocaine and other marco.
tics which, while giving temporary
relief, led into dangerous fields. Then
the association began q systematic
search for real cure, existing the
services Of several physicians and
scientists.
1t is now declared that there is only
one cure and that is by the use Of
vaccine, and the hope is held out
that through it the disease may be
cradisated and this country made =
place "where the meezer ceases from
sneezing and the fearful are at rest. ,
The cause of hay fever is the pol

weeds, flowers and grasses. In order
to be efficacious the vaccine must be

ITO cut this letter short, the firse

is to bury Hiram johnson and His

PROHIBITION AND TAXES

From July l, 1913, to April 80,
1914, there was brought into the United
States treasury through the sale Of
spirituous liquors, $l35,51s, 495, while
from July l, 1914, to April 80, 1915,
only $121 ,S04,7O was received from the
same source in the shape of taxes. This
accounts for 1878, 700 of the decrease
in the governments receipts from iq-
uor tax, and the total for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1915, is expected
to reach $20,oo0,oo0. Specific instances
Of the decrease in certain collection dis
tricts have recently been made public.
The Fifth district of Illinois produces
more whiskey than any other country.
For the first eight months of 1914 the
government received $23,702,625 from
this district in liquor tax, while during
the same period in 1915 only 1874
1915 was received, loss of nearly So
100000. During the first eight months
Of 1914 the government collected $12,-
436, 59S from the Seventh Indiana dis
trict, while during the same period in
1915 it collected only $9,976,Ss4.
The figures are being extensively
used by those opposed to prohibition a.
an argument against taking legal meas
ures to curb the consumption of liquor.
But the prohibition movement goes on.
OF the forty-eight states in the union
eighteen are either already "dry' or
have been voted "dry'' and Of the
twenty-one states which have local op.
ton laws many are almost completely
"dry.". For instance, Kentucky, .
local option state, has only three "wet"
counties. Only three states, Pcnnsylvan.
ia, New Jersey and Nevada, permit the
unrestricted sale of liquor, and they
will soon be the scenes Of campaigns on
the part Of the "dry" forces which
are determined to change the senti-
ment.
Arguments for and against prohibi-
tion are NO longer novel, but when con-
