CANAL SELF SUSTAINING
Big Ditch to Show Surplus Over Cost
 of Operation, Says Statement
By Associated Pres:

Washington, November E. - The Panama canal is now fully self-sus- taining and had there been no change in the rules of measurement such as recently made, would show comforta- ble surplus over cost of operation, ac- cording to the current Canal Record, official publication of the zone. The statement does not show the exact of tolls paid by American ships, nor does it indicate the defici- ency, if any, that would have to be met from the national treasury, 1T craft were exempted.
 During the last fiscal year total op- erating expenses were $6,548,272, and receipts $8,935,S71, leaving profit of $2,3S7,599. This does not take into ac- count interest on capital invested to s367,151, ,696, representing the entire cost of the canal.
 The total cost of operation of the canal since 1t was opened has been S36, 657, ,766, and total revenues to the end of the past fiscal year, $34,657.766 less certain deductions on account of refunds of tolls which would make the deficit on that score s2.231,091. in stead of a surplus of S2,87S,S12 had the original rules of measurement been to.

LAND OFFICE RULING
FOR SOLDIERS SOUGHT
FRENCH DESIRES CREDIT FOR
ENTIRE TIME SPENT
IN SERVICE

Rulings by the U. S. land office on
period of residence on homesteads re-
quired of ex-service men who have
filed on the land, is to be sought by
Burton L. French, representative in
congress from Idaho, according to a
letter just received from Mr.. French
by Don C. Fisher.
Mr.. French is endeavoring to induce
the land office to rule that ex-service
men, who filed on homesteads prior to
the war, and who served tweniy-one
months in the army, may make final
proof on the land, without actual re-
sidence thereon. Under existing rules,
homesteader must reside on the land
for a period of seven months a year
for three years, or a total of twenty
one months, before making proof.
Credit for army or navy service is
given, in lieu of actual residence on
the land, up to fourteen months, but
seven months actual residence on the
land are required, no matter how long
the homesteader may have been in the
nation s service.
Representative French in his letter to
Mr.. Fisher, expressed eagerness to hear
from men who would be affected by
the proposed ruling.

veterans every consistent preference

q favor a vote by the people of the
proposition of selling the state s tim
Der and timber lands, with proper
safeguards covering disposal to man
ufacturers and the retail price of lum-
Der to the people. During recent
years the income from our timber has
scarcely exceeded the outlay for fire
protection. Last year fire protection
cost $97 ,644.00 and our timber sales
amounted to $1O4, 5000, and it is
estimated that 5000 acres of our
timber lands were burned over. Our
taxpayers are losing the benefits of
this tremendous resource. The timber
and timber lands in private owner
ship will yield interest on the sale
price, will bear their share of taxes,
and will increase the competitive pro
duction of lumber, and the state IS
revenue may thus be increased two
or three million dollars per year.

more complex and interdependent, and
our state is surely in the van of hui
