Want TO KNOW
ABOUT ccc
What Do You Think About
the CCC Camps-Express
Your Opinion.

Paul A. Herbert, professor of Forestry
of Lansing, Michigan, chairman of the
Sciety of American Foresters, is in
vestigating the CCC in view of the pro-
posed extension of these corps beyond
the two year period for which they were
originally authorized.
In furthering the investigation the
committee desires to obtain the con-
census of opinion of local communities
in the vicinity of these camps, par
ticularly in reference to the following
points:
/. Whether the camps as now con-
stituted should be continued? If
changes in organization or admins
tration are desirable, what are these
changes?
2. Should dual control by army and
forester be continued?
8. Should the supervisory force be
appointed on merit only. regardless OF
political Affiliations?
4. Have cordial relations been main
tanned between the local community
the enrollees and the supervisory per-
sonnel?
S. Has the health, education and
general rehabilitation of the enrollees
been administered adequately?
6. Is the type of work upon which
the men are engaged worthwhile OF
would you suggest other types?
The committee would like to hear
from anyone interested in regard to
these points and any others which may
prove of interest Several local people
have already filled out their answers
to the questions propounded and have
sent them in.
There Is no doubt in the minds OF
local people that the CCC movement
has been of vast benefit, not only to
the boys in the camps but also to the
country at large. The vast majority
seem to think that the camps should be
continued. Your opinion on the sub
ject is solicited
Write a note along the lines sug-
gested above and address Paul A
Herbert, Professor of Forestry, Lansing
Michigan.

WHAT OTHERS SAY|

Minneapolis Journal-Most errors
made by election clerks and judges are
excusable. They can be attributed to
the fatigue of long hours spent in
counting ballots, after a long day de-
voted to receiving votes. There are
times, however, when it is hard to
believe in the innocence of mistakes
made in the count.
Some of the counting done in the
contest for state senator in the Twenty
ninth District will bear looking into
Referees in the third precinct found
1O1 more votes for Burt L. Kingsley in
the third precinct of the Second Ward
than the precinct officials had reported
and two more for Senator Henry G
Teigan. That might be mistake,
But in the eleventh precinct of the
same ward, they found Kingsley gained
86 and Teigan lost so. In these three
precincts the corrections made diff
ference of 454 votes in the majority
and reversed the result of the district
election.
Such gross errors, all leading in the
same direction, certainly call for in
vestigation. There have been cases OF
similar bad odor in other local elections
in recent years. A better safeguard
over the election count is needed. One
plan proposed is to have ballot boxes
brought unopened to the City Hall
and the votes counted there by corps
of accountants fresh for the job. This
should provide much better protection
against possible Skullduggery.
Precinct officials are cruelty over
worked, especially at a time when such
heavy vote is cast as Minnesota
turned o1t November 6. It is unwise
and unfair to compel the same officials
who have been on duty thirteen and a
half hours, while the polls were open
to labor all night and perhaps all the
next day on the ballot count. A dupli-
cate election board to take over the
count, when the polls close, would be
an improvement over the presend
system.
But, after all, the prime consideration

NeU tuberculosis Cases
Are Very Dangerous.

"You can save yourself from Tuber-
culosis," slogan of this years campaign
to sell Christmas Seals in Minnesota,
draws public attention to one of the
most important milestones of modern
medicine according to a bulletin issued
by the Public Health Education Com
mittee of the Minnesota State Medical
Association today.
"Once tuberculosis struck without
warming" says this bulletin. "It's VIC
tim resigned himself to die and was
seldom disappointed. Now the ma
jorities of these tragedies can be pre-
vented"
This salvation is not accomplished by
any magic drug or immunizing agent
according to the committee. It requires
the application of simple skin test
called the Mantoux, which sounds the
warning of disease long before actual
illness strikes. The rest is matter
of avoiding contact with the disease, OF

of those whom the test has shown tc
be threatened by means of X-ray te
be sure that no destructive process il
going on, unnoted, in the lungs.
One recent observation about the
dangers of contact with the disease il
especially noted in this bulletin. It wa!
made by a noted authority on tuber.
culosis, DR.. Esmond r. Long, director
of tuberculosis research at the Phipp!
Institute in Philadelphia, when hi
visited Minnesota as guest speaker o.
the Minnesota Public Health Associ-
atoms annual dinner in st. Paul, last
month.
It is the new case of tuberculosis that
is the most dangerous to others accord
ing to Dr. Long. This case may show
much smaller area of disease in his
lungs but he gives off many more bacilli
in his sputum and mouth spray than
the old chronic case whose actual dis
ease is much greater.
Children should be protected eSpeci-
ally from association from these early
acute cases of tuberculosis.

The primitive man met dangers
which were inevitable. We meet
dangers which are preventable.
Automobile accidents can be pre-
vented. In fact, all accidents can be
prevented. The fact that we can, if
we will, eliminate to 1ery large
degree the appalling dangers of modern
life, is what make the moral significance
of this safety movement.
We should realize and appreciate the
value of human being. Not all people
seem to realize or appreciate that.
The carelessness regarding human
life is the great tragedy that hangs
over the human industry. 1t is only
recently that there has come to be any
regard for human life and we hope that
this regard will increase.

A Farm for Every Transient
Camp Next Year.

The men in the transient camps viii
produce their own food requirements
next year, it is announced by Oscar W.
Behrens, director, transient relief di-
vision, Minnesota SERA.
A few experimental farms in the
transient set-up were successfully cul-
tivated this season. More than a car
load of vegetables was raised and
canned for use during the winter.
The feasibility of the plan proven
it will be extended next spring to
utilize a Thousand acres. This is the
aggregate area of the small farms that
are to be operated in conjunction with
the camps.
All work on the farms will be done
by the transients themselves. Mime
sofa master farmers will act as in
structors. Between $50 and 200 milk
cows will be apportioned between the
camps, as well as an adequate number
of hogs. Feed crops also will be raised
and pasturage provided.
The new venture may make the
camps entirely self-supporting, as re-
CARDS the basic food needs of the men

petents on election boards-at
least such is the implication.
When people are named as
election officials because they
need the money and not be-
cause they are versed in the
business, there are bound to be
misgivings on the part of candi-
dates who could not lose" and
contests result. In the ma
jority of cases the result of the
ballot is not materially changed
in the recount and election Off
cials are vindicated.

License Corrections
Net State $149,&2.

The state highway patrol has been
instrumental in adding $149,872 to the
states motor vehicle license income in
the first 10 months of 1884, according
to a highway department bulletin.
This money, mostly from commercial
truck owners, represents payments
made for correct license plates by per-
sons found to have been driving with
improper plates. Reports show the
patrol, in the 10-month period, also
collected s30,401 in fines, exclusive Of
license corrections; Travelled 2,454, ,645
miles, gave aid to 76469S motorists,
warned 148,883 of law violations, tagged
27,276 for illegal equipment and 6,s47
for illegal registration and arrested
2,O82 drivers for various infractions Of
State highway laws.

Duluth Evening Herald-It is an ac-
cepted idea that there are no frontiers
remaining in this country. To the
average mind a frontier is the line OF
land to which civilization has ad-
vanced, and up to which rights are re-
spected and government of law exists.
Over that line, the frontier, the land
is unoccupied save by fugitive and law
less whites, or white men of good in
tentions seeking adventure or fortune,
and by untamed Indians.
Life was always cheaper in the past,
at and beyond the frontier than behind
it, although there Is room for question
whether human life ever was as cheap
beyond any American frontier as it is
now in centers of white population.
The northern parts of this Arrow
head land even now presents many OF
the characteristics of the old frontier,
with all the dangerous and disagreeable
features eliminated There is the same
natural beauty of forest and stream, of
lake, defile and rugged elevation.
There are more trails to be sure and
often a great road These existed be-
yound the old frontier, although not SC
numerous nor so good.
There was solitude beyond the old
frontier and there is solitude now, if
one seeks it, at no end of places. For
instance, after passing the mining
areas, it would be possible for one to
travel due north to the Arctic ocean
without meeting human being or see
ing a cultivated field or the smoke
from a human habitation. So much of
the north country is very thinly oc-
cupied!
There are, north and northeast of
the well inhabited part of the Arrow
head, a few good enough automobile
roads that push to the border. At
hundreds of places along these roads
one who left his car standing and
tramped even a few hundred yards
aside, might find himself where no
man, white or red, had ever been. So
widespread, so far flung, is the wilder
ness.
One may see scores of silent lakes
with deep bays, and maybe an Indian
camp at the farther end. Wild game is
not perhaps as plentiful as it once was

Low Injury Rate on Relief Jobs.

Low Injury Rate on Relief Jobs.
A degree of safety greater than in
any industry has beeen attained on the
work projects of the Minnesota SERA
it was announced by A. v. Rohweder,
chief advisor of the safety division.
Injury records which cover $4,000
employees have been studied during the
10 weeks following September l, when
the self insurance plan went into effect.
They show 10 accidents reported per
100000 man-hours, Mr.. Rohweder
stated. This number of man-hours
represents $4,000 men working hours
and Is minutes day for days.
An accident rate of only 10 pei
1,000, 900 man-hours compares favorably
with % to % in mining, 80 in public
works and highway building, 38 in
construction industry, and 10 in can
merry activities.
This good showing, according to w
T. Norton, supervisor of safety and
compensation, is largely due to the ac-
cident prevention campaign carried on
by the division It is effectively pro-
NOTED by means of 10 district and 81
county inspectors.
Mr.. Norton explained that the safety
record has been achieved against heavy
odds. Some of the SERA projects call
for such risky activities as gravel pit
excavation and public works construc-
ton jobs. Many of the laborers are
farmers without previous training in
industrial vocations, and unacquainted
with modern safety methods or devices.

count. Under present conditions too
many election boards are really partisan
boards, instead of fairly representing
the three main parties.
The gueat majority of election clerks

nothing to do with the Con-
servation Commission nor with
any others of the numerous
heads of departments. At the
same time come advices from
those close to the governor that
200 or more state employees
including four department
heads, numerous game wardens
and rural field men will re-
ceive the axe.
Among those to be placed
under the guillotine, according
to sources close to Governor
Olson, are R. A. Trovatten, di-
rector of agriculture; Garfield
w. Brown, insurance commits
sioner; VIM. T. Kroll, director
of the soldiers welfare bureau;
George Weaver, chief game
warden and supervisor OF in
dustrial fishing; John Hoglund,
steward, and w. F. Hogan, an
employe of the State Hospital
at Fergus Falls. Then there
are others, particularly in the
highway department which the
governor has said he would
"clean out from roof to cellar
and is reported to have said
81 will go out there personally
to remain two weeks if neces-
sary to do it"
At that, Floyd B. is the gov
ernor and it would not be sur
prising if he told the Farmer
Labor committee of Ramsey
County to go jump into the
Mississippi or go to some other
place not so cold at the present
time. Judging by his actions
in the past he will do just this.
Being the head of the party
and virtual dictator he will do
as he likes and woe betide the
underling who gets into his
way. Governor Olson is the
victor and to the victor belong
the spoils. Besides there is
another election coming in two
years and Senator Schall is sup
posed to be the victim of that
ballot fest. We hope that it
will not be necessary to go to
North Dakota to find material
to fill the appointments of new
men, if made.
The cooperative common
wealth has gone glimmering,
according to the state sena-
torial and legislative elections.
In two years from now the
state will be thoroughly fed up
with a dictatorship. The Far
mer-Labor party did not win
any popular favor in the last
election and would not have
gotten very far without the
governors personality. At that,
Martin Nelson cut down the
governors plurality at a rate to
insure the election of a COVER
