This is because some forms of war aeXpendl- tures have not yet been brought to an end because of the waste, duplication Of effort. and grossly incompetent ad- uliuistration which has prevailed at Washington during these past years. Taking it for granted that these abuses will shortly be corrected. we are left face to face with a. probable annual expenditure of about four bil- lion dollars.

 ''The immediate business problem, therefore, that will confront the ad- ministration and the congress to be elected in Noven1 Der next will be how justly and wisely to raise by taxation four billion dollars a year and how to supervise and direct the government expenditures in order to make sure that none of the peoples money IS wasted and none improperly spent. To ensure these ends it is of vital i'm DOT tance to establish a national budget. Both the repu blican party and the democrat party formally declared themselves in favor of national budget system. The administration took no steps whatever to carry out that pledge. The present republican una jority in the congress is, however, devoting itself assiduously to this question. A bill to provide for na- tional budget passed the house of rep rcsentatives at the last session by an oVerw h e Inning ma jority. A still better bill is being worked out by a. senate and it may fairly be as- sumod that before the present session of the cor sress ends g bill to establish a national budget system will be pre- scented to the president.

these great gifts of nature camping in
the open Is much more attractive.
Named In Honor OF Statesmen
The trees and groves are named in
honor of statesmen. especially the
trees of the Giant forest, for here one
finds that king of trees. the General
Sherman. which is said 10 be the old
est and largest tree in the world-in
fact, the largest living thing. 1t is
computed 10 be about four thousand
years old When the celebrated lover
of trees--John Muir-was in the park
he counted four thousand rings in the
trunk of fallen giant. and as the
General Sherman tree is much larger
it is safe to say that 1t might have
been a contemporary.
This wonderful specimen of tree life
rises to the height of 275 feet and is
nearly thirty-seven feet in diameter.
The General Sherman tree was dis
covered long before the creation OF
the land as a National Park by James
Wolverton, a hunter and trapper. who
named 1t General Sherman and the
name was never changed.

1T took our Government a long
time TO awaken to the fact that our
forests were being rapidly denuded
J and that unless something was
done II would be only short time
when the damage would be irrepar-
able. This means a vigorous policy
OF permanent standing for it takes
centuries for a forest to reach its full
growth and a temporary policy Of
short duration would yield little or no
results.
It is to the Far West one must go
for the great. tree life Of our country
for the trees OF the East pale into in
significance as compared with the
great trees of the Pacific slope.
Two Of our national parks contain
the tallest, the biggest and the most
symmetrical trees in the world. They
are the Sequoia National Park and
its little sister, General Grant Ma
tional Park, which is only few miles
distant They embrace a fairyland OF
forest set amidst mountain scenery of
unsurpassed beauty.
They lie on the western slopes of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Cali
fornia, south OF Kings River Canyon
and west of the Canyon of the Kern.
Established In 1890
Both these tracts of land were set
aside as National Parks in October of
1890 by an Act OF Congress. and are
governed by the National Park Serv-
Ice OF the Department of the Interior.
They contain at least 1900 trees that
are over ten feet in diameter. For
some strange reason the soil OF the
Sierra Nevada Mountains is best fitted
for these giant trees. and they have
grown up in groves and consist OF
two kinds, the Sequoia giganta. known
as the big trees and the Sequoia sem
perverviens. the technical name for
he beautiful redwood. The former
are the largest forest trees in the
world and perhaps the most beautiful.
Both trees are named for a mixed
blood Cherokee named Sequoia. often
