THE PRICE OF STATESMANSHIP
According to their own hworn state-!
incut. Senator Ty dinga campaign in.
Maryland cost $.>u,000 op, Walter
George, Of Georgia, spent $19,498 01)
while Governor Rivera of that state j
handed out tho very nice little nest I
egg of $38,000 00 for renomlnation for,
another term Idkowlne their opponeniH
dished out a tidy sum, and it
looks as if the nomination was knocked
down to the highest bidder.
This Is to say the least, high priced
statesmanship, but whether It Is high
class statesmanship, we huvo our
doubts.
It seems that regardless of a mail's
qualifications for office, he first must
bo well-heeled, and also have a host
of friends who aro willing to take a
gambler*? chance oil their favorite'
power to put himself across with the
often credulous voters, which speaks
bad for our boasted democracy.
Of course, In this vast expenditure
of the coin of the ronlm, the gentlemen
have credited themselves with
only a small part, as for Instance
$3,800 for George, of Georgia, to $8,OO0
to Tydlngs, of Maryland; the considerable
balance is credited as coming
from "friends."
It Is reasonable to suppose that
these friends have either collected In
tho past or hope to do so In the future.
In that case the candidate has
either mortgaged his political philos
ophy If not his soul, to those "frleuda"
and they in turu may be expected to
foreclose. If be falls to follow their
leading he Is branded us an ingrate.
This observation Is not meant to be
personal, ll would have been (he same
had their opponents made the grade
instead It Is a distressing fault of
our political system that men can buy
their way to statesmanship It Is a
a costly road, perhaps worth It If the
people did not all too frequently (haw
a ITiiik
In the case of Messrs Tydings and
George, the amount of money spent
for their renotnlnittlon will almost
equal their salary for the term, while
Rivers spent more than he will have
ie<elved In his official pay envelope.

Boy Scouts Accept 35,857 Acres in Kit Carson

I
A GIFT from Mr. and Mrs. Walte
Phillips, Tulsa, Okla., of 35.857
acres of land a few miles northwest
of Cimarron, New Mexico, and $50,000
to be used In Improving and developing
the land for camping purposes.
has Just been accepted by the
Executive Board of the National
Council, Boy Scouts of America.
When he made this announcement
Walter W Head, President of the Boy
Scouts of America, said, "Mr Phillips
offered the property without any restriction
whatsoever save that it Is
to be used for the benefit of members
of the Scout Movement As a matter
of fact, he specifically stated. 'If this
proposal were being made to any
other organization, whose rating was
Inferior to the record of service made
by the Boy Scouts of America, I would
be inclined to be more particular In
outlining the program, to be assured
that the property would be put to
full beneficial use as I visualize It'
In accepting his gift the National Executive
Board has In mind the establishment
of a Boy Scout reservation
for the development and furtherance
of wilderness camping."
Kit Carson Country
Before formally proposing that the
Boy Scouts of America accept the
ranch property Mr. and Mrs. Phillips
and their son Elliott entertained a
party of Scout officials at Phtlmont
Ranch near Cimarron, immediately
adjacent to the new Scout Reservation
The party Included, besides
President Head, Dr. James E West.
Chief Scout Executive, and Art;.-jr A.
Schuck, Director of the Division of
Operations The entire group was
greatly impressed by the scenic
beauty of the area and its usefulness
for Scout camping purposes.
Much of the property is virgin territory
and under the careful management
characteristic of Boy Scout
camping those small parts which have
been grazed recently will quickly be
restored to their natural conditions.
Mr Phillips has proposed. In accordance
with general Boy Scout practice.
thai the property Immediately t>?
designated as a game preserve.
In a statement issued to the Executive
Board Dr West described the
reservation in this way: 'The property
is in the Rocky Mountains, all
above an elevation of 7.000 feet and
rises in spots to at least 11,000 feet It
is the Kit Carson territory and the old
Santa Fe trail passes through It. There
are nine main canyons on the tract
converging either at the Cimarron
River or the main "branch of the Ponil
River, which later flows Into the Cimarron.
Older Boys' Paradise
"Each of the canyons Is of the same
general make-up. flanked on each
side by ever-changing vistas, rock
palisades, timber growth, and with
smaller canyons in endless numbers
Angering out from the main ones.
There are also several high land
meadows or mesas, offering excellent
additional camping area spots. Bear
Canyon, Dean Canyon, and Turkey
Canyon have an extensive amount of
timber growth, comprised, principally
of western pines, Douglas fir, balsam,
quaking aspens and cottonwoods. It
is the natural habitat of deer and
while on the property we saw mule
deer, wild turkeys, and dozens of
beaver dams and many evidences of
bear.
"While there are few Boy Scout
Local Councils throughout the country
which do not have camps both for
short camping trips and for summer
vacation camping," Dr. West continued,
"there is a need of opportunities
for Troops and Patrols with experience,
training, leadership and
proper equipment to secure the benefits
of wilderness camping, which
I believe will appeal to older boys
in all parts of America. By this is
Implied a more rugged experience
with 'nature In the raw' than is possible
in the customary local Boy Scout
Council camp but at no sacrifice of
our essential safeguards of health and
safety."
A recent digest of Scout membership
records revealed that more than
100,000 Scouts in nearly 4,000 Troops
live within a 600 mile .radius of the
property. From this group will come
those who use the property most frequently,
although Scouts from all
parts of the country will head for it
on roving tours under adequate leadership
and according to provisions
laid down by the National Council of
the Boy Scouts of America.
Before reaching a decision to accept
the Phillips gift the National Council
sought advice from the local Boy
Scout Councils in the area to be
served by the reservation. Forty such
groups Indicated that they would begin
to make use of the spot in the
next camping ?????" ?nH manv evidences
of enthusiasm and Offers of
active cooperation in the development
of the property were received.
Wilderness Camping Popular
George W. Olmsted. Chairman of
the Camping and Activities Committee
for the Boy Scouts of America,
reports great need in the Rocky
Mountain section for facilities for
Troops from far away which seek
wilderness camping. The Pikes Peak
Council of Colorado Springs, Colo.,
last summer had requests from New
Orleans, Shreveport, Toledo, Chicago,
Ave towns in Texas, four in Kansas,
and many individual requests for
camping places in the Rocky Mountains.
They were able only to help
one Troop from Kansas and this demonstrates
that there is great need for
a place where these Troops can have
adequate facilities for mountain
camping under proper supervision.
As an evidence of the magnitude of
this problem and how the VVaite Phillips
property would help to solve it,
he adds that in 1937, 200 touring permits
were granted by the home office
of the Scouts with a total mileage of
155.354 miles, averaging 776 miles per
tour, with 4,201 Scouts and 674 Scouters
in attendance. To date, in 1938,
338 Touring Permits have been issued
with an estimated attendance of 7,098
Scouts and 1,115 Scouters. Eightynine
of the tours during 1938 traveled
more than 1,000 miles. Thirty-six traveled
more than 2,000 miles.
