IMPROVEMENT
OF WATERWAYS
IN OLD WORLD

BERLIN. Sept. s.-The Prussian Cab
met has decided to propose again to the
Landtag the construction OF a great cross
country canal to connect the Rhine,
Weser and Elbe, thus completing the
Emperor's proposed system of internal
waterways.
congressman Burton, chairman OF the
RIVERS and Harbors Committee Of the
House, who has returned here from his
Inquiry into the river and harbor i'm
proVementS in eastern and southern Eu-
rope, says this is the only canal project
seriously considered In Europe that com
pares In expense to the proposed Eric
canal improvement The Rhine-Elbe ca
nal was estimated to cost $50, 1000 900,
though 1t is now thought it will cost con-
siderably more.
burton, who is accompanied by Major
+. Mahan, United States engineer CORPS,
retired, and his secretary, Mr.. Floyd, was
received most courteously in the coun-
tries through which they passed. Russia
presented Burton a steamer for his trans
portation and Professor Timonoff and
otner engineers went with Burton and his
party on the Volga from Tyre to Tsarit-
zin, 1860 miles
Burton spent eleven days on the Volga
and then visited Black Sea harbors, the
Danube and the Upper Elbe. Speaking of
his investigations, which were begun in
June, Burton said:
We found illustrations throwing light upon
almost every proposition in the river and har-
Dor works of the United States. Everywhere
In Europe there is disposition make in
creased use of the inland waterways. whether
rivers or canals. The value of these means of
transportation is coming to be realized more
and more. In France and Germany and por-
tions of Russia the quantity of freight carried
by water Is increasing more than that carried
by rail. There is strong movement for the
improvement OF the inland waterways and there
is a growing opinion also. though not as potent
or universal. in favor of tolls on the water
ways which are improved. 1t would seem that
Europe affords better opportunities than Amer
lea to study the relations between railroads
and waterway transportation because fire.
quently a state which is improving its rivers
and building canals also owns the railroads
But for various reasons the field is not much
better. In some countries the policies adopted
TOWARD the two methods Of transportatiOns are
widely different. In others the railways and
waterways are managed by different Govern
ment departments, each trying to make a good
showing, and the competition which arises is
almost keen in the United States.
Burton will visit the Lower Elbe near
Hamburg and the canals of Northern
France before going home.

OF elasticity and bill designed to provide that can
be so drawn as to effect other change whatsoever
In fact elasticity might be provided not by enacting
a new law, but by repeating an old one thus the
Secretary says: There is now no statutory prohi-
oition against the wellnigh inherent right OF banks
to issue circulating notes. This right exists through
out the United States but subject to tax of 10 per
cent per annum. This tax is prohibitory. II
were given authority to formulate meas
ure that would provide the requisite elasticity
to our present currency system, l think
should add amendment permitting national
banks with the consent of the Comptroller OF the
Currency to issue volume of circulating notes equal
to so per cent of their bondsecured circulation at
tax of per cent the be retired at will or by
direction of the Comptroller, by the deposit of an
equal amount of lawful money with any sub-treasury
Such, then, would be about all the legislation re-
quired To term it revolutionary is not to argue, but
to denounce. If the method suggested by the Secre
tary be objected to, some other method equally
simple and effective could doubtless be devised The
advocates of elasticity are pledged to particular
measure. They insist upon nothing but good bill
and prompt action:
OF the effects OF the passage of such measure as
rhat suggested by him Secretary Shaw says Three
things l know. First this additional circulation
would spring into existence almost instantly when
ever and wherever interest rates advanced to the
point of profit. Second, it would promptly re-
tire whenever interest rates became normal Third it
would be absolutely safe-as good the present
national bank issue and with slight and immaterial
change identical in form and appearance-for the
Government, amply protected by the per cent tax,
would underwrte it,"
Where the issue at stake is important, where
the risk of evil resulting from delay is so great
where the remedy is so simple, it would seem that
Congress might even the of Presidential
election Besides there is necessity to wait for
the very good bill might be passed at the
extra session before Christmas put into effect during
the winter and be benefcialy in operation by the
time the campaign opens next fall that one would
think OF making political issue out Of it.

THE CURRENCY PROBLEM.

10 much opposition has been made to the adop-
ton of currency bill at the coming session of
- Congress that unless the advocates OF the meas
ure be earnest vgant and energetic it is more than
likely the plan of reform will have to go over for
another year and then have to be argued all over
again The plea of the opposition that the enact
ment of bill "revolutionzing our currency system
on the eve of Presidential election would be folly
The answer is that revolutionary legislation is
asked for desired and that it will certainly be bet
ter for Congressman to go before their constituents
with record Of useful work performed than with
the stigma OF neglecting of the most important
issues of the time.
AS Secretary Shaw stated at the Chicago ban
quet few days ago, the legislation asked for by the
advocates OF reform is anything but revolutionary
1t is not drastic 1t relates only to the question

WHERE REPUBLICANS FAIL.

RECENT inspection of the registration Of
II voters in several districts OF New York dis
4 closed the fact that every voter known to be
Tammany man was duly registered, while large
number of Republicans and OF independents
not registered. A similar investigation in almost
any American city would disclose similar conditions
The bosses whether of Tammany not, to
get their henchmen registered in time for every
election that comes They ready to act at the
primaries and at the smallest city election at
Presidential contest. Too often, however the class
of voters upon whom municipality must rely for the
election of honest men to office and for the main
tenance of good government are so Indifferent to
their civic duties that they ignore the primaries alto
gether and not infrequenty forfeit right to vote
by failing to register.
The United Republican League has undertaken to
the attention OF all voters to the Importance of
seeing that they are properly registered, so that
they take part in the elections be held in this
city 1t is be hoped the efforts of the league will
be completely successful and that shall have a
full registration and a thoroughly representative
vote in the bond elections in the Geary-street Rail
way election and in the municipal election which
follow
For the information of voters the league circular
calls attention to the fact that the last day on which
they register for the coming elections is Septem-
Der 23 and says If you not registered for the
gubernaoral election in November, 1902 or for the
primary election in. August, 1908, if you have
changed your residence since your last registration
you must register in order vote at the coming
elections. Citizens who will have resided in this city
one year November are entitled to register now.
| Twenty who will become of age be-
fore November 3 are entitled to register now If
you registered in any other county in this State
send for transfer of registration to the County
Clerk of the county in which you formerly resided,
and when received take the registration office in
this city. The registration office at the City Hall
McAlster-street entrance) is open from $3.50 a. m.
to 5 p m and from 7:3o p. m. to o:3o p. m. Go
now. Don't wait until the last few days. 1t only
takes few minutes"
! While the advice given in the circular to
members of all parties and to voters generally it
has special appeal for Republicans, since it is we'll
known that neglect OF municipal elections is one of
the political ofenses to which Republicans are much
more prone than the members of opposition par
ties In repeated instances the failure of Republican
candidates has been due solely to the neglect of Re-
pubicans to register or to vote. This time the is
are of exceptional importance, and every citi-
should see to that he himself the right
to vote and to vote right on every question that is
to be submitted to the people Of San Francisco this

MAJOR GENERAL
SHAFTER MAY BE
A CANDIDATE

Many citizens OF San Francisco, among
them Republicans. Democrats and non
partisans, predict that General Shafter
would be elected Mayor II he were nomi-
mated for that Office by the Republican
convention. General Shafter was recently
placed on the United States army retired
list with the rank of major general The
grade is high and the emoluments for life
are considerable. The question is fire.
cuently asked whether he could afford to
terminate his army career in order to
serve the city for brief period. General
Stoneman resigned from the army to ac-
cept the office Of Governor of California,
but after service for four years as chief
executive of the State Congress restored
to him the rank and pay which he sur
rendered in order to render himself eligi-
bic, beyond all doubt, to the office Of
Governor.
1t is still an open question whether an
army officer on the retired list ca-. be
clasSed as a salaried officer of the Fed
eral Government. Men familiar with the
decisions bearing directly on that point
assert that the pay of an officer on the
retired list is a gratuity in the nature Of
pension and is not a salary. Argument
is advanced that General Shafter would
not be required to forfeit this pay which
the Government bestows in order to ac-
cept service under the municipality. i
is contended that the leading decisions
are r. tliS affact
