Making the Martial Mare 90

That anv Government could raise
three billion dollars within about a
fortnight would have seemed highly
improbable a year and half ago.
At that time Great Britains total
debt, an accumulation Of more than
two centuries, was not much over
three billion dollars.
England performed this ,eXtraor-
binary feat in finance recently, put
ting all former war financing into
the shade. But it is very doubtful
that this enormous loan will pay
her war bills to Christmas. The
bills run fifteen million dollars day,
at which rate the proceeds of the
loan would last nearly seven months.
But the loan of billion and three
quarters raised last November left
a deficit, and over a billion dollars
of short-time treasury notes were is
sued before the new loan was float
ed. Presumably these must be re-
deemed out of the proceeds of the
new loan. and before the end of the
year the money will be gone. Mean
while. daily the cost of war tends to
rise.
Such figures as these override all
precedents and BATTLE prophecy.
But that 1916. if the war continues.
will see all the bellieerents resortine
to forced loans through the issue of
irredeemable legal-tender notes

The Tariff SOGy

In this last fiscal year our put-
ChaseS Of foreign goods were smaller
by two hundred million dollars than
in the year before and at the end of
the period commodity prices in the
United States, as reflected by Brad
streets index number. were the high
est ever known But in spite Of
that the country, our protectionlSt
friends tell US, is being mysteriOusly
ruined by the pauper labor Of Europe
TIE aforesaid labor is getting kill
ed and manned TO an extent that
appals the world The factories in
which it was employed are increas-
ingIy diSorganlzed by war The
capital behind it is being shot away
at the rate IF tens Of millions of
dollars day. But those things
were mere broken reeds to lean
upon, unless We are further fortified
against European competition by a
very high tariff
You might sink Europe il the
sea tomorrow, and YOUR true high
protectionist would still 60 about
pale and trembling unless he had in
his pocket the rabbits foot Of high
duties to fend off the specter of pau
per labor. A Europe with both
arms in a sling and not a leg to
stand on would still brighten him
into eoosetlesh unless he had the
tariff horseshoe over his door
So the tariff will no doubt be one
Of the issues of the next presidential
election. and if the republicans win
we shall have another revision Of it,
The loudeSt champions of high pro-
lection do not want an intelligent
tariff they want a political one, with
the usual loarolnna. This is pain
f1i TO contemplate, but as neither
democrats nor republicans seem at
all minded to take the tariff out Of
politics there is probably no help
for it.-Saturday Evening Post

Government Lands for ROme-
SfeaderS

SIcfucTS
Uncle Sam has recently made
available for homestead entry what
is officially known as the Fourth
Unit of the Belle Fourche irritation
project il South Dakota. From
time TO time for the last several
years small areas have been opened
to the public in this section and al
ready there is formed a splendid
agricultural community as a nucleus
for the development Of the entire
project which will require several
months t. complete The present
opening is therefore generally re-
Garded as Offering an excellent op-
portunity for the man who wishes 10
exercise his homestead night and
Sll obtain a desirable and produC.
tive tract of land within few miles
of towns where there are modern
advantages, such as schools. church
es, stores, telephone service and good
markets
The crop returns on the Belle
Fourche project have been very
good and an encouraging feature
of the trend of its development is
the increase in stock and the ten
dency to engage in hogs. Aerlcul-
tural experts have long pointed out
the advantages on this project for
hog raising and dairyine With
recognized markets for merChantable
products and the facilities for pro.
ducin6 alfalfa Of fine quality. the
settlers seem 10 have Needed this
advice and their splendid results are
now serving as an impetus for fur
Their progress along these lines Per-
sons who, appreciate the deslrability
of engaging i'll alfalfa culture, hogs
and dairyine can find nowhere in
the west a section which will offer
better facilities for specializing along
these lines of endeavor
The government announces that
the land itself is free and can be
obtained only under the homestead
law. Provision is made by the rec
lamation service for supplying water
at actual cost to each settler and
after twenty years time he is given
outright a permanent water right
That the better lands embraced
within the public domain are rapid
ly diminishing seems evident from
a statement made relative to this
and other districts by Albert V.
Leonard, settlement agent of the
United States reclamation service
at Chicago, who adds that the Belle
Fourche project should attract a
desirable elemept who realize the
necessity of securing land as an
economic permanency."

MiSSouri's total receipts into the
general revenue fund, July |, 1914
to July |, 1915, the fiscal year just
past, we're $599S,43447. The ex.
penditures for the public schools
during the biennial period, 1913 and
1914, appropriations being made
for two calendar years at time)
were $6.S65,S99 IS, The two sums
above numerated are larger than
ever before. A moments study of
the above figures will show that
over one half the states total gener-
al revenue was appropriated by the
general assembly to the public
schools, a much greater proportion
and a greater total sum, than any
previous year, notwithstanding the
inSincere cry of a hostile PRESS in
advertising only part of the truth
to the effect that certain fees were
this year excluded from the so-caled
"one-third" apport onment, While
the one third" apportionment is
smaller, that Is but one appropria-
ton Other school appropriations
made are 50 much in excess of their
usual size that their excess much
