Last Years Campaign.

Estimates Of expenditures in the re-
cent campaign are mounting. The start
was six million doHars-a tidy sum.
That has grown, until the figure now is
twenty-five Millions very large sum.
Whether the limit has been reached, or
speculation on the subject will continue
and go higher, is anybody's guess. 1t is
good topic; and as Congress is soon
to be asked to legislate about campaign
expenses we may hear something
further. .-i
Until now the tallest estimates offered
were those relating to the campaign of
1896. Then the issue was financial, and
the money world was much aroused. Talk
about fifty-cent dollar caused quick
ening Of the business pulse, and gener-
ous contributions to campaign funds.
Moreover, Mark Hanna, a man of large
credit in the business world, was in
charge Of the republican forces; and
that fact lent persuasiveness to reports
that the canvass was being conducted on
a liberal basis.
The figures Of that year, however, re-
main but guess. The republicans won J,
but not over an impoverished opposi-
tion. Mr.. Bryan had the support of some
men of very large means, who admired
him and believed in his policies, and
saw that he did not go hungry. The
country was thoroughly canvassed by
both sides, and the cost-the legitimate
cost-must have been large.
Last years campaign was mot, as was
that Of 1896, single-issue campaign.
The tariff was prominent, and appealed
to the business world, but there were
other issues dividing attention with that
Hence both sides had claims, and prob
ably had them allowed, when the time
came for passing the hat. And each, Of
course, collected all it could, and put it
where It would do the most good.
It appears, however, that the demo-
Gratis closed their. contest some three
hundred thousand dollars behind. Find;
ing themselves hard pressed by a foe
"well heeled;n they contracted for what
they thought the emergency demanded,
and took chances on finding the money
later.
This, according to report, is not prov
ing an easy matter. Subscriptions for
the deficit are slow. The Presidents ex-
ample-he Clipped in promptly-is not
being copied. This is not creditable to
winners. The democratic campaign
seems to have been we'll managed, and
Chairman Mccormick to have more than
met the promise Of those who, knowing
him better than the general public, stood
for him at the time of his selection.

We thought that Uncle Jim would stop
When the campaign was ended;
Some phrases he would surely drop
From his remarks extended.
We thought that he had overtaxed
His strength in that endeavor.
But Uncle Jim has not relaxed
He talks as fierce as ever.
We hadn't reckoned ON his will
And energy untiring.
His epithets are vigorous still.
He simply wont cease firing.
Though Nineteen-sixteen failed to gain
For him rewards in plenty,
He's busy now with the campaign

item noting the difficulty. The Star says:
"The enactment of such a law was
loudly called for few winters ago,
when several estimable citizens were
seriously injured by falling on the
pavements. but since the corporation
has enacted the law and the officers

: !: WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING

the continental United States is more
adequately protected by local sanitary
safeguards.
In connection with these health sta
tistics II must be remembered that they
cover the period since the National
Guard ana practically the entire army
has been on the Mexican border. The
expeditionary force which, in March.
1915. entered Mexico. comprised troops
from all branches Of the service. num-
berins approximately 10000 men. Dur
ing the several months of their stay
these men were under trying climatic
and sanitary conditions, having to con-
struct the sanitary appliances and
ly being in stations where adequate
water supply was diff1cult to secure.
It is a matter Of interest to note that
the health Of these troops is really re-
efhciency and their non-enective rate
has compared favorably with the best
attained by home troops under garrf-
son conditions.
The mobilization OF the National
Guard on the Mexican border presented
to the medical staff Of the army a
large and delicate problem. The men
comprising these guard regiments were
drawn from all parts Of the United
States. from our great cities and from
and low valleys. from mountain and
plain. They were transported at the
height of the summer heat to a climate
Of southern Texas. to which few. IL
any. of them were In the least accus-
toned. Thev exchanged horne life for
crowded railroad trains and crowded
railroad trains for hastily prepared
camps. They underwent at once an
immediate dietary change and as COM
plete a change of habit and occupa-
service Of the army were at once de-
voted to sanitary measures for the
safety Of these men. AS a result OF the
good work done the sick rate of the
the mobilization has been less than 2
per cent. This Ia equivalent to a nom
effective rate Of IS per 1000. 1t is
said that this is the lowest non -effec-
tive rate maintained in any similar
body OF men in our history.

That the national forests Of the country
are becoming more and more self sup
porting is evident
Forests Are Nearly from the figures
Self-supporting. compiled by the
forest servfce under whose direction the
forests are managed. During the past
year there was marked increase in the
receipts. which were greater by nearly
$3.50, 900 than in 1915. which totaled.
roughly. nearly $3,ooo,0oo.
The increase in receipts was derived
chiefly from timber and. and srazins; zhn ooo The ne
advance Of a quarter Of a. million dollars
over 1915, and the grazing receipts were
81 .25o.00o; or an advance Of some $780,
Iu addition to the cash receipts, the
equivalent of large revenue was fore
gone through the various forms Of free
use and the sale of timber to settlers at
cost instead Of at its actual cash value
for it must be remembered that Uncle
Sam is quite lenient with these. pilgrims
1t is estimated That during the past year
there was given to settlers free of cost
The forest service has authority to sell
at cost to settlers timber required for do
nestle use. The privilege Of grazing a
small number Of stock free Of charge is
also granted to settlers living on or near
any of the national forests. The aggre-
rate number of stock thus grazing ON the
forests approximates 125.000.
At present. according to the forest
service officials, the receipts from the
national forests are. approximately
three -fourths of what it costs to pro-
fect them and carry on the current
business.
1t will be necessary. they say. to in
c~ease the earnings about S1.000.000 a
year to cover the cost Of actual opera
ton. In addition to this cost. how
ever. there are expenses which are pri-
rrarily in the nature of investments.
These comprise expenditures for the
construction of roads, trails. telephone
lines and similar improvements. the
extensive planting of trees to re-estab-
lis}, forests which have been destroyed
in the mast by fires. the carrying on Of
. -eso"-ch and experiments to aid in the
development of the best methods of
forestrv. and expenses connected with
the classification and segregation of

the establishment Of permanent bound
