INCOMES OF STATE COLLEGES A TOTAL working income of ap proximately $35,000,000 was received by 87 State universities and other State-aided institutions of higher education during the past year. Of this amount the United States Government contributed about $5,000,000 and the State $18,000,000. Most of these institutions do not have large endowment funds, as many private colleges and universities have, but their regular current income from public appropriations represents a definite capitalization of about $400,000,000. The year's income passed the two million mark in the case of three State universities. The University of Illinois had an income during 1911-12 of $2,363,711; the University of Minnesota $2,682,499; and the University of Wisconsin $2,122,297. Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., which is technically a private institution but receives State and Federal aid, reported total receipts of over three million dollars. Several other State-aided institutions are in the million-dollar income class. These include the University of Michigan, which had an income of $1,343,057; Ohio State University, with $1,011,571; and the University of California, with $1,711,393. The latter had an additional half million from private benefactions. Some of the States are exceedingly generous to their colleges and universities, and in such cases the National Government's contribution is only a small fraction of the total. On the other hand, a few States depend to a considerable extent upon Uncle Sam's bounty. The State of Delaware provided $22,000 last year for Delaware College, to accompany the $70,000 received from Federal funds; in Maryland the State itself furnished $36,000 for the Agricultural College, against $80,000 received from the Government; New Hampshire's contribution to the State college was $20,955; and the State of Vermont gave only $26,000 out of a total income of $277,815 reported by the State University, while $80,000 was derived from the United States Government and $60.958 from pri FELLING A GIANT IN THE FORESTS OF OREGON Man takes pride in laying low these mighty trees, regardless of the fact that it requires the slow growth of centuries to produce the monsters. DOMAIN by Judson C. Welliver WHAT THE PUBLIC DOMAIN IS National Forests, 165,000,000 acres Reclamation Lands withdrawn, 17,000,000 acres Coal, oil, potash and phosphate lands National Parks, 5,000,000 acres Range land, etc. Water Power Withdrawals Alaska (mineral, metal, forest, fishery, and general values) HAT is the most careful appraisal of the public domain. of the Nation that can be had It was made for the writer by officials of the Government, in direct charge of administering the national lands. It represents the best judgment of the General Land Office, the Geological Survey, the Forest Service, the Irrigation Service, and, generally, of all the officials in control of the National Estate as it stands today. What are we going to do with all this vast property which belongs to the Nation as a whole, to you and me and the rest of the hundred millions of us? We are being asked, urged, pressed, to give it away. Shall we do it? In the past we have squandered the public domain with a profligate hand. We have given it, almost to whoever asked. We have passed accommodating laws in order that it might be utilized by the men who wanted to despoil us of our riches. We have come to the time when there must be a national decision whether or not we will give away all that is left, for the endowment of eager applicants for the privilege of controlling this Nation in the future.

The interests, that today seek to seize the remaining public domain, will, if they succeed in their grab, be the autocrats of our national future. They come with smiles and palaver, with vast amiability and much sophistry, to tell us that we don't know how to manage our inheritance, and that it would be far better for us to turn it over to them to administer—for their profit. They don't put it in just that crass way, but that is what they mean. Let us glance at the public domain's history, and see if it will suggest an answer that we may give to these ingratiating gentry, who would so kindly agree to manage a few billion dollars' worth of wealth for our best interest, if we would only give it to them. Of course, it is worth noting that the program of giving away your property in order to get it well-managed for you, has not traditionally been in great favor. A certain one-sided character marks the transaction that has detracted from its popularity with people of business sagacity.
