WAR COSTS AMERICA
BILLION DOLLARS MONTH

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The
cost of the war to the United
States still is running near billion
a month. Despite official forecasts of
steadily increasing expenditures from
month to month, the governments
outlay in February, according to a
treasury statement issued today, was
slightly less than in either January
or December, and would have been
approximately the same if the month
had been long as other months.
Expenditures amounted TO Sl,0O2,-
$751; SOS, of which two-thirds, OF S6Gj,.
100000 was for ordinary war expenses
and 1925 100000 was in loans TO al
lied governments. Corresponding OK.
penditures were $1,000, 100000 in Jan.
ualy, $l,IO5,OOO.OOo in December
and S9S2,OOO,OOO in November
The total cash assets of the govern
ment today were S4.O279I9,5lS. which
included $2,4O1.135,5O6 gold, si91,

HOLDING OFFICE

"He never aspircd to hold any pub
lie office"
Newspaper reporters see a good
many sides of human nature. Most of
them when engaged in writing obitu-
airy notices of departed citizens, have
heard the phrase quoted above. The
relatives seem TO thing that it is a
credit to the deceased that be was
never an office seeker and never ask.
cd the suffrage of his f.lH.v citizens.
There has been so muc,. mean and
sordid office seeking that this point
OF view is rather natural. Yet 1t will
be n pretty poor outlook for civic ad-
vance II good citizens are generally
to look at II in that way.
Public office ought to afford legi-
innate opening to an ambitious young
man. There ought to be no more dis
credit in aspiring to the civil service
/ or to elective offices, than in going
into the law or medicine. 1t Is an hon
orablc. necessary service. and it
should attract the best talent and be
a career worthy the interest of any Of
our boys.
The great trouble Is that we have no
professional standards of public Of
flee. A man might prepare himself by
the best education possible for the
public service. He might be com
petent specialist in administrative
science, and in the technical problems
that our public services have "a
handle. And then II he doesn't hap
r pen to be a smart talker, some wind
= bag will come along who really knows
5 nothing Of the science and technique
!. Of government, and beat him out a

It Is about time for the averag
voter to learn more discrimination
; We have too many takers in publ
office and far too few doers. w

OIL SHALE THE
COMING INDUSTRY
OF THIS STATE
W. T. Mcneil Gives Some Per-
tinent Facts In Regard To
The Governments Stand On
This Industry and Valuable
information For loCatorS

w. T. Mcneil editor OF the Nevada
Home Builder, OF Reno. who is inter.
ested in the oil shale industry. is in
the city with d. w. Glasscock, presi.
dent of the Nevada Shale Oil and
Fuel company. with head ~s..~eS in
Reno. Messrs. Mcneil and Glas icock
are negotiating with the locators OF
shale lands in this district and have
secured some valuable property here
on patented ground. They are not
disposed TO seriously consider taking
over claims on government ground.
Mr.. Mcneil says, in an interview
with the Independent, that investors
are fighting shy on spending large
sums OF money In plant and equip
ment when located on the public do
main. The contemplated taking over
by the federal government OF all oil
and shale lands may at some future
time seriously affect the shale oil in
dustry throughout the nation.
Even though that difficulty may be
bridged by omitting. for the present.
shale lands and applying the contem-
plated action TO oil and coal only, the
cxigencies of war may at any time In
cIude all shale lands in the public do
main.
Coal, oil and shale located on gov
ernment land may be appropriated by
the government at any time, as a
necessity OF war and no indemnity Is
likely to be paid for the same. How
ever. on patented land full indemni'
ties will be paid and no invested In
terests will be disturbed in case the
national administration deems 1t ex
pedient to take drastic action TO con
serve the national wealth in coal, oil
and shale.
II therefore follows that locations
on public lands for shale. oil or Goa
, may be only a scrap OF paper 70 Ia
as the locators are concerned In tn
crucial test OF the stern necessities o
, war.
4 II Is TO be hoped that such cond
ton will never arise and there ar
many reasons why x should not. On

make shalc oil an exception until Tn
