SATURDAY MORNING.
MONEY IN UNIJED STATES
The circulation statement is
sued by the U. S. Treisury De
partment, giving the "geneial
stock of money in the United
Stutes" on February 1 and the
amount in circulation on that
date, was received b- tbe Ob-
server yestorday. From it we
gather that on February 1, 1904,
there were $2,777,054,774 in
stock somewhere in tho United
States. Oi this $1,326,841,555
were gold coin or bullion, an in
crease of gold for the month of
112,219,029. . -
Of silver there were $761,325,
675 in slock, being an increase
for the month of $100,572,908.
February 1 there were in
circulation, that is not held in
the U. S. Treasury, $2,487,979,
301; giving a per capita circula
tion of $31 60. In 1860 the per
capita circulation of money in
the United States was $13.85.
COUNTY EXPENSES.
Secretary of State, F. I. Dun
bar has just completed, from
the official reports of tbe several
county clerks tbe aggregate ex
pense of ell the counties in
Oaegon fcr thn year 1903.
From this summary it will be I
seen that te run the 33 counties
in Oregon in 1903, cost tbe tax
payers $1,100,385 34. ' This does
not include the money paid for
educational purposes, common,
schools, normal schools, agri
cultural cill)go, and S ate Uni
versity, except the salaries of
county superintendents, which
in all ccunties emounled to
$33,939.77.
The Observer reiterates its
statement that county expenses
as a whole are too great iu Ore
gon. To assess and collect the
taxes in 1903 cost $113,848 32
or over ton per cent of the coun
Abraham Lincoln, whose 95th
birthday was celebrated in La
Grande yestorday.

ty expenses. In the list of ex
penses as published,' the unde
finable charge of "current ex
penses" swallows up $57,847.25
and that other mysterious leak
age, "court . house expenses"
shows whereby $79,577.95 has
been trans'eried from the pock
els of the tax payers to those of
somebody else, and the dragnet
"miscellaneous expenses" drew
from tbe pockets of tbe ' people
$19,134.06.
The great trouble is the peo
ple are too busy with their in
dustrial affairs to give proper
attention to county management
and until they look closer after
county business there is little or
no hope of bettering present
conditions. The laws now on
tho statute books were placed
there in tbe interest of ambi
tious men to provide good places
for heir workers in the couuties
and so long as they reuiuin on
the statute books there is little
hope of lightening tbe burden
of taxation and until the people
demand it the load will not be
reduced.
