done the work for $50.

MIX Inspection Ordinance.


The new ordinance for the inspection
of milk recently passed by City Council
has been approved by Mayor Fisher,
and is now law of the city.
This ordinance ought to prove very
good one for the purpose. Before its
passage it was submitted to COM
nIittee of milkmen and by them ap-
proved. 1t is also satisfactory to the
city authorities. This being the case,
there will be no room for complaint by
any dealers 10 milk and cream who
violate the provisions of the new law.
The fact that it Ia satisfactory to repre-
ssntatives of their business is pruoi
that it contains no unjust provisions,
and the violation of just and proper
regulations will be an offence for which
no excuse can be offered,
As to the enforcement of the orii
nance, the past course of the inspector
of milk, MIR. Walter McEvilly, leaves
DO doubt az to what he will do 10 the
future He has resoluteIy and in.
diligently performed his duties in the
past. and brought many offenders To
the bar of justice. lie will continue on
these lines, not with any vindictivs
feelings, but actuated solely by a
desire to protect the interests of the
people and to consc;entiously enforce
1 the law.
With good law and good Off
! cial. the results shpuld be excellent
/ Reputable dealers In milk will respect
the enactment. Those who do not re
spect it will be prosecuted, and ne
sympathy will be extended TO them.

The danger OF large surplus in the
national treasury is thus APPLY illus
trated by the Philadelphia Ledger:
Congress will spend Whatever money
appears to be available, and the exist
ence of a surplus is an inv tatiun 10
extravagance. Nor is this the worst OF
it. The individual nemher has no
chance to get an appropriation for his
home creek or for an imposing govern
ment building in country town unless
he Joins with other members similarly
situated 10 the business known as log
rolling, which is not real y distinguish
able from corrupt practices. The mem.
hers bride each other with yotes TO put
through their several jobs TO get money
out of the national treasury for the
benefit OF their constituencies and,
incidentally, Of themselves. Thus q
surplus becomes demofaizibg agent

4 snhsIdv is Not Naansd

II IL pointed out by 40 observant
correspondent that the shipbuilding
business 10 Maine is exceeding all
records this year. tie new vessels
laurohed agg.sgating tonnage Of
44.62l tons, and the craft including sew
eral Of the largest four and i've mast
sohooners and two magnificent steel
ships. But notwithstanding this great
boom, Senator Frye OF Maine insists
upon Congress passing the Ship Sub
Eidy bill, for the encouragement
OF the shipbuilding business in this
country.
And what is said OF the business in
Maine applies with equal force to othsr
centres Of shiphuilding. We have had
a phenomenal year here in Wilmington,
and other shipyards have pfospeTed.
Tbs business has doomed without the
encouragement Of government subsidy.
And even il the business had Ian.
guished, instead OF prospering, it would
be no argument in favor of financial aid
from the general government. No Other
business asks for subsidies, although
some are highl. favored by an unjust
ystem of tariff taxation. But the
argument that advocates a subsidy TO-
shipbuilde,s, may be turned with squa
force to the benefit of any other branch
of business.
The government has no right to Civ
the tax money to any SGT of business
men. To do SO, either in the form Of
subsidies or tariff bounties, is unius
iavoritism. 1t is the duty of the gov
eminent to enact wise laws, and 10
business interests take care of them
