paid Oregon will have expended for '
bounties some .$212,000. The amount !
would be S250.00O but for the fact
that when the appropriation was ex
hausted early in 1P02 a number of the
counties ceased to allow bounty
claims.
This amount of $212,000 includes
only the expenditure from the state
treasury and lo this must be added
the one-tbird paid by the several
counties in the last two years, amount
ing to $42,500. making the total
paid for bounties by the taxpayers
nearly $2S5.0m. The expenditure of
this vast amount has covered a peri
od of just four years, so that it Is
seen that the average cost of the
bounty legislation was ?C3,750 a year.
It was the original estimate that
the scalp bounty law -would consume
$25.oo a year and a biennial appro-
I pnatinn of $o,omi was made. In the
1 first two years following the session
01 JSSii the bounty claims amounted
1 tn $12C.nito. The deficiency was paid
and another appropriation of $50,000
j made in 1901. This was exhausted
1 and a deficiency of $So.S05 created.
' Tht legislature of 1903 Includod in
one o' the appropriation bills $34.29$
for the payment of the claims, the
..r nnt not having been determined.
his bill was vetoed by the gov
un the ground that too many

were incorporated in one bill.
- appears that the appropriation
not have been quite large
enough.

em goncy clause so that it went
;n' effect on February 21. when it
was signed by the governor, and thus
the accruing of further claims was
suddenly shut off. The counties were

naid bounty claims after the law was
repealed, but the amounts are small.
The deficiency claims, amounting to
$35,811;. are all held by counties, as
the counties paid the bounties in the
first instance and then recovered
two-thirds of the amount from the
state, so that the bounty debt has
stopped growing. It is only within
the past few weeks that the total
cost of the bounty law has become
definitely known.

Department of Agriculture May Quar
antine Against Argentine Repub
lic. A matter of a good deal of impori-anc-f
has come to the attention of the
depart meut of .agriculture. A ship
ment of bulls fur breeding purposes
has recently gone from Inoiana to
Argentina, in South America. They
developed foot-and-mouth disease be
fore they got there. Nothing of this
kind exists In Indiana, nor anywhere
along the line of travel to iew York,
from which port the animals were
shipped
They unquestionably contracted the
disease on board the vesaoi that has
been bringing wool from Argentina
to the United States. The depart
ment has reliable information that
toot-and-mouth disease not only ex
ists in Argentina, but has existed
there for a conHlderable time. Sheep
are just as liable to this disease as
cattle.
The ijuosi ion presented to the de
partment is whether it will stop the
importation of wool from Argentine
and such other countries ui have foot-
and-mouth Ulsat,e. The department
will make careful inquiry into this
subject. Two propositions are pre-1
suntwl. One is the shutting out of I
wool from these countries altoci-thiir- I
the other is the possibility of dlsin-J
fecting at out own ports. !
ir exnaustive inquiry into the coun
tries from which bides come ulir.wu
that we are in grave danger of get.
ting foot-and-mouth disease from
those countries, one or two things
will be Imperative, viz: Importation
bo stopped, or that such dlsinfenlon
be had as will prevent the posBlbllltr
of our getting this Jlscnte.

ble disease, such animals so inspect- i --
ed and certified may be shipped, )
transported or driven from eucli place ,
through any state or territory "
The oflicers of the bureau 'of am-i
ma! Industry mentioned do not charge
fees for inspecting stock, and a cer
tificate from the inspector permits the
removal of the stock through a state
or territory. If this certificate is
good and costs nothing, a stock or
sheep raiser who desires to transport
his animals from one state to another
or through a state does not desire a
second inspection by a state officer,
especially when he has to pay for It
It Is. however, possible to have a
national as well as a state law cov
ering the same subject, both of which
people must obey, aud this may be
a case of the kind. An example is
found in the liquor license statutes
The federal government exacts pav
ment of a United States internal rev
enue license, and liquor sellers must
also pay a city or county license un
der a state law
