WORLD'S HERT TO
. AMERICA.
For the ten months of (his year the
exports have been $6,501,000,000 and
the imports $3,098,000,000.
This leaves other nations owing the
people of the United States nearly $3.
600,000,000, which is three times the
public debt of this country in 1880.
So great is the indebtedness of the
outside world to the United States
that England. France and Italy are suf
fering a heavy depreciation in the ex
change value of their money. With
the flow of wealth so rapidly in this
direction, the foreign countries are
finding it difficult to meet their obli
gations to Americans.
America has become ihe creditor
nation of the world, with power to do
great things for humanity.
But America, as a mighty creditor
! nation, must proceed cautiously. Too
larpe a balance of trade in our favor
may seriously Interfere with the ex
panding of American commerce. After
a certain amount of credit has been
extended, this country must begin to
accept its pay in goods, or cease to
do business with the outside, on the
present vast scale.
WILL COAL STRIKE END?
Let us hope that when the members
oi the executive committee of the
mine workers meet in Indianapolis to
day, they will endorse the action
taken In Washington, and thereby end
the coal strike which is causing o
! much misery.
The miners would win much if they
were to announce that, rather than in
flict a widespread calamity on the peo
ple, they would yield and go back to
the minea.
The mine operators have been
preaching for a long time the doctrine
that a man should be free to work or
not to work, and now they are talking
of forcing the miners to dig coal a
proposal more dangerous than anar
chy as it stands for a form of slav
ery. Whoever sees fit to mine coal
must be protected, but to uphold the
I doctrine of force would bp an outrage
productive of endless unrest and re-sentmenL
SUNSPOTS DECEMBER 17.
Older folks have talked It, and now
the children are asking if there is to
be a world catastrophe on December
17. The Standard has answered. No! I
But to reinforce that reply, we repro-
duce the statement of Prof H. N. Rus-1
sell, who is an authority on aetron
omy. He says:
"We meet with an MUUnpli ol news
paper notoriety which Is Utterly with
out foundation or excuse - the absurd :
publicity which has been given to
the prognostications of a 'weathi I
prophet,' who predicts, that, on o
about December 17. there will be a I
huge sunspot, accompanied by terrif-!
lc disturbances on the earth. The al
leged reason is that, on this date, six
planets will be in conjunction on on-'
side of the sun, with Uranus directly
opposite.
"There would be no need to speak
of such a thing al all in these col
umns, if It wpre not that wide public- 1
ity has been given the alarmist state- !
ment, so that many people have been ;
disquieted. It is hardly necessary to
say that there is not the slightest rea
son for such fancies
"It is true that, about the middle
of December, six of the planets will
be in conjunction if we Interpret
thie term very broadly, since they will
be scattered over an arc of longitude
of 30 degree, or one-twelfth oi th
whole circumference. It is likewise
true that Uranus is In a longitude op
posite a point on this arc which In
eludes the other planets. But there is
no reason at all to believe that this
chance grouping of the planets, which
is rather of a curiosity but not other
wise notable, should have any Influ
ence in producing sunspot These it
ll now well known are Internal dis
turbances in the sun's atmosphere,
and the most careful Investigation has
failed to detect any evidence of plane

Moreover, should n sunspot however
large appear at this date, or at any
! other, there is the strongest reason,
jbased on hundreds of previous cases, j
to b lieve that it will not hr.ve any ef

.scribed as a catastrophe."
STEALING AUTOMOBILES.
The special session of the Utah leg- !
islature, inSn effort to stop the steal-!
Ing of cars made the offense a felony, !
and the law Is now in force and shoul 1
begin to obtain result?
The Herald quotes W. IX Rishel as
saying that more cars are stolen by
joyriders in Salt Lake City per capita
than in any other city in America. The
Herald concludes
The extenuating plea heretofore
made by officers of the law that
a greater percentage of cars are
recovered here than elsewhere is
creditable and shows diligence
rather than vigilance. The fur
iher excuse of the courts and
peace officers that our laws were
defective ran be urged no longer
as through the efforts of the l"i h
State Automobile association a
law was passed by the recent spe
cial session of the legislature that
is intended to convict juvenile au
tomobile thieves as well as others
and it is now in effect.
The law makes the dm ins or
operating of any motor vehicle not
his own by any person, whether
with or without intent to steal the
i same In the absence of the ownei
and without the owner's consent,
a felony punishable by imprison
ment in the state prison for not
less than six months nor more
than five years, provided that for
the first offense by a minor the
punishment shall be imprison
ment in the county jail for not to
exceed ninety days.
In early days horse stealing be
came so prevalent in some of the
western states that it became nec
essarv to make the offense a fel
ony instead of grand larccnj and
in other states they even went so
far as to prescribe capital punish
ment for it. The result was high
ly salutary in putting a stop to a
very common crime, It seems nec
essary at certain periods to resort
to heroic measures to suppress
increasing tendency to evil deeds,
and automobile thefts are an in
stance in point There is no justi
fication for a boy to take an au
tomobile not his own and go joy
riding in it any more than to take
a horse that does not belong to
him and ride it to death, and pub
lic opinion will regard the new
law as non- too drastic It is to be
hoped juvenile offenders as well
as the grown-up thieves will take
due warning and govern their acts
accordingly.
APPROACHING CENSUS.
During the month of January the
next census of the United States will
be taken. The census bureau is to
complete the enumeration in from two
to four weeks, and announce the popu
lation figures in less than three
months. This will be a record breaker.
In a study of the census figures of
the past, J. P. Young has found that
in 1790 there were 17 states with a lit
tle less than four million persons. At
present the population is estimated at
11".""". with states. The area
of the United States has increased
from 892,135 square miles to 3,026,
789.
In 1800 the 5.308.483 Inhabitants
of the Unii.vl States owed a debt
of $82,976,204, representing a per
capita burden of $15.03. The an
nual Interest charge on this in
debtedness was $3,402,601 64
cents per capita. There was not
much money in the country at the
time, the gold and silver together
aggregating only 116,000,000, The
federal revenues from customs
and other sources footed up $10,
848,749 annualh. In 1917, before
we embarked on the world war,
we owed $1.908,635223. but the
per capita burden was only $3 41
greater than it was 117 years
earlier, and the per capita increase
on interest charge waB only 18
cents per annum. Doubtless the
revenues of the country, which
had grown to $1,118,171,129 in
1917. although they represented
nearly a 112-fold Increase, wore
; more easily obtained than thl
smaller amount In 1800.
The extraordinary productivity
of the country' explain these phe
nomenal changes Never before
was there witness a development
remotely approaching that of the
United States between 1800 and
1917. Some of the increase tax
credulity. We do not kno w how
much copper was produced in
1800; probably none, for it was
then reckoned among the precious
metals and we were still import
ing genuine and counterfeit pence
from England: but in 1840 ac
count was taken of 100 tons; this
quantity 77 year later had swol
len to 860,647 tons. Twenty tons
of coal were mined in 1810; in
Mil the output was 626.873.371
long tons The pig iron mdu,tr
I bad an equally marvelous develop
j ment. the product rialng from 53.-
908 tons In 1810 to 30.434.797 in
1917.
Jefferson, as already remarked,
was convinced that our industrial
development would be along agri
cultural lines. Could he have fore
seen that the 73,332 bales of 500
pounds of cotton produced In 1800
would expand to 11.044.227 in
1917, and that the 67,233.000 bush
els of rice would increase to 1,
007,722,222, and that of sugar,
the cultivation of which scarcely
had a beginning, would develop an
industry whosaf annual product
would exceed 2,263.000,000 pounds,
and 'which in the near future may
show an output of double that
quantity, he would have been still
more pronounced in his convic
tion that Alexander Hamilton was
a visionary in predicting that
manufacturing would be the in
dustry through which we would
be enabled to rival the rest of tho
world in the creation of wealth.
Jefferson was right in assuming
that agriculture would have a
great future, hut Hamilton made
no mistake when he extolled man
ufacturing, which form an indus
try of insignificant proportions,
when he urged its encouragement,
in 1914 numbered 275,701 cstab- j
lishments employing 7,036.337
persons, who produced manufac
tured articles valued at 24,246,-434,744.

Gains 20 Pounds
"I wart in bed for six mouths with
stomach trouble and rheumatism and
Tanlac alone deserves the credit for
my recovery and present fine health.
I have gained twenty pounds, enjoy
working hard every day and I feel like
I had never been sick in my life."

attle for twelve years and is well
known to hundreds of people. Con

"My trouble started a year or more

time. My appetite left me and what I
forced myself to, eat would not digest,
always causing a severe pain in mj
stomach and shortness of breath. Fat
greasy things and meats were like poi
son to my system I got weak as a
kitten and then the rheumatism laid
hold of me so bad, especially In my
knees, that I could hardly drag myai If
about. My kldnejs seemed to give
way, too, and I had pains In my back
so bad I could not stoop over. My
head ached so it seemed like it would
simply split in two and I would get

something to keep from falling I was!
so uncomfortable and restless at night
that 1 would toss about nearlv all nicht
without getting more than a third of
the sleep I needed and I lost so much
weight and got so bad off I finally got
completely down and out As I said
before I had been in bed for six
months and no kind of medicine or
treatment seemed to do me any good
whatever.
"I was- in this condition when 1 de
cided to give Tanlac a trial and it got
me out of bed In three we ks and has
made a different man of me. Tanlai
alone did It, as I said before. I have
now taken six bottles and every one of:

I eat thref big meals a day, and never
have the least trouble with my stom

surprise the men who work with me,
and I will never cease to be grateful
to Tanlac for the wonderful way it has

j 000 because of contingencies hlch it
is impossible to foresee.
The total revenue for the year is
computed at 4.000,000.000 rubles at the
outside. Expenditures wil! total 18,
200.000.000. In a recent analysis of the finan
cial status before the budget and fi
nance committee of the government,
De Hoyer outlined the budget tor 1919.
ordinary revenues, according to cal
culations made by various depart
ments, should give 4,019,000,000 rubles,
he said; but this total Is likely to be
reuueeu to itoi uvi-r d.vw.vw.vvv vy
the loss of the Perm and Orenburg
districts and by restriction of the Kalv
of spirits In the war rone.
Ordinary expenditures he estimated
at 8,413,000,000 rubles of which about
3.000,000,000 represents interest on
and payment of government debts. Ex
traordinary expenses connected with
the war, pensions, subFldt etc., for
the first six months were 93,000,000
rubles and it was estimated that for
the second six months thie item might
Increase to 100.000,000. As a matter of
fact, the business of caring for refu
gees, which was Included under this
head. ha6 already run the total ex
penditure up to 400,000.000 rubles for
the second half year.
The total direct- expenses for the
first half year on account of the civil
war was 3.863.000.000 rubles. As for
the second 'half, during July, August
and September the army, coat the gov
ernment over 5,000.000.000 rubles.
Thus in Siberia. Mr. De Hoyer
pointed out, only approximately 20 per
cent of the government's expenditures
is covered by its revenues. The re
maining 80 per cent Is represented by
papr currency Issues.
The remedy ll threefold, the minis
ter said; to cut down expenses; to in
crease revenues; to regulate currencv
circulation and if possible obtain
loans abroad. It is difficult, he con
tinued, to help matters at the present
time by cutting down military ex
pense. This he thought might be done
later when it became possible to ascer
tain the actus number of men fight
ing at the front.
"We must increase the income tax
and establish taxation for the profes
sivans such as doctors, lawyers, archi
tects." he ld. "Property and Indus
trial taxei must be Increased. Peas
ants should not have their taxes In
creased since the gains would be more
than negatived by . the discontent
which would necessarily be created.
"We mus' encourage gold mining.
'Real estate taxes in towns needs rs
vising and aupnienting. Railway taxes
and customs dues should be greatly in
creased. Goods must be divided into
j three classes, indispensable, useful,
and needless, and must be taxes on an
average two, five and ten per cent, re
spectively. Taxes on wines, spirits kerosene,
tobacco, tea, etc., should increase to I
keep pace with depreciation of the ru
ble. Government monopoly of spirit
'sales should be continued. This alone
gave 300.000,000 rubles revenue last
year. It may be possible to tax salt."
