millions of the peoples money to start these government enterprises which are to be run in direct cOmpe- tlt1on with our own citizens. This era of unrestrained waste and useless ex- penditure has, of course, produced a large deficit in the treasury and the democratic party has been driven to unusual and oppressive methods of direct taxation to prevent the bank ruptcy of the treasury.
 "The appropriation made for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, as they have already passed at this ses- sion of congress amount to 1880, 3S3,- 642. Of this amount approximately $390, 900 can be properly charged to what is commonly termed for the fiscal year 1916, larger by far than any appropriations made by any re- publican congress amount to $1,114,- 937,012, showing an increase for the fiscal year of 1917 over that of 1916 of $515, ,446,670. Deducting the $390,- 000,00O for preparedness, it is evil dent that there was an increase of appropriations for the ordinary run ming expenses of the government for the fiscal year 1917 over 1916 of s125, ,446,67O. There have also been authorized and entered into at this session of congress contracts amount ing to $316, 6,875,366 The funds to meet these contracts must be provid- ed later. The appropriations for the last three years of the Taft adminis- tration amounted to $3,144,774,381. For the three years of this admins tration the appropriations amount to $3,861, ,438,833, or an increase by this administration of $716,664,452.

east or the west, and that the only direction in which they are free to move will be in the line of retreat. Our army is, and for weeks has been. constrained to this ignoble attitude, and the administration at Washing ton has joined with Carranza in the creation of an international joint high commission to consider, among other things, how soon our army shall he withdrawn from Mexico, and whether the Mexican raids upon American soil have not been inspired bv American citizens. Meantime the entire available forces of the National Guard of the various states are en- camped along the Mexican border in the performance of police duty in the effort to protect our citizens from Mexican assaults upon our own ter 1itory. It is estimated that the cost of maintaining the National Guard in this position until December will amount to 30,0O0,000 and an issue of government bonds is to be made to provide this amount of money. It would seem that if General Carranza is worthy to be recognized by our government and to receive it's aid and support that he might by the use of his own armies protect our border from the the incursions of his own Countrymen.
 Tariff Bill Injurious.
 T have already alluded to the ter rife blow dealt to the industries of the United States by the democratic tariff bill. I will give a single illus tration of the effect that this bill has had upon our revenues. For the fis- cal year ending June 30, 1913, the value of our imports was s1,813,OO8,- 234 and the revenue collected upon these imports at the average rate of 17h per cent. of duty which then applied, amounted to $31s,142,344. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, the value of our imports was l $2,197, ,929,982, which discloses an in- | crease for 1916 or 384,921,738. Up- 1 on the greatly increased imports for | 1916, owing to the fact that the aver | age rate of duty to be applied to them | had been reduced to 96 per cent, the
 revenue collected from them was only | $2l1, S66,222. From this 1t appears ] that although our imports for the fis- cal year of 1916, had increased by 1 the enormous sum of nearly 1885,, | 900, our revenue for the fiscal year 1 ending June 30, 1916, had decreased
 $1O6,276, 122. If the average rate of duty which obtained in the fiscal year
 of 1913, to wit: Seventeen and one-
 half per cent. had been applied to the l imports for the fiscal year of 1916, the total imports for this fiscal year
 being $2,197, ,999,9S2, we would have
 collected a revenue upon imports for
 this year of s384,637,746. By apply
 ing to these imports the reduced rate

REINDEER DISPLAY
 GREAT SPEED QUALITIES

During the course of a long distance telephone conversation with the Mug get this morning, MT. Alfred Lornen stated that the Nome party at Mary's 1gloo were enjoying themselves i'm. mensely and were finding rare amuse- ment In the reindeer fair being held there. The weather has been bad, he says and has somewhat hlndered mat ters so that the fair will not close until Wednesday. Between sixty and seventy five delegates are reported In attendance together with a large number of other natives from all sec tions of the peninsula. The deer are said to be all chosen specimens and are fine animals Between one hundred and one hundred and twenty five are on hand nearly all of which are en- tered ia the various competitive events
 MT. Lomen says the fair Is a fine dis play of what has been accomplished m relnoser propagation and Is loud in his praise of the work of the bureau of education. He also describes an interesting deer race which took place yesterday which will be something of an eye opener for those who are not aware of the speed qualities of the reindeer. The race was over an uu- broken five mile course and was finish
 ed in the remarkable tims of fourteen minutes and fifty i've seconds. Sixteen teams were entered in the race, each containing two animals Several dog drivers who are visiting at the fair say that they do not believe that the time can be eoualed by the best speed
 logs in the country. Concerning Wit tenberg and the native who was frozen MT. Lomsn says that they arrived yes

COURT INTRODUCES
SCHOOL ROOM METHOD
OF BLACKBOARD WORK

Accurate testimony is the desire OF
Judge Monsarrat in the district court
and to enhance chances for the same
the magistrate has caused to be erect
ed in his chambers a large blackboard
upon which complaints, defendants,
policemen and witnesses may draw
pictures to illustrate their testimony
when mere words fail to properly con-
vey their ideas.
Hradly a day goes by but what at
least one and sometimes several
charges of needless driving are aired
in police court and the conflicting evil
dence relative to positions of various
cars on streets in question has al
ways been source of annoyance to
the court.
A simple diagram of the intersec-
items in mind may now be drawn upon
the board and the exact location of
the cars. as the witness testifying saw
it, may be pointed out.
Heretofore it has often been the
custom to adjourn court for q short
time, while the Judge, the prosecu-
ton and the defense went jointly to
view the scene Of accident. This prac-
tise will probably be eliminated now
to a large extent.
