MccLEARY'S POSITION

MccLEARY'S POSITION
There is no immediate need or de-
mand for tariff revision, and the
agitation in favor of such movement
is ill-advised and uncalled for, and any
legislation of this character or having
such tendency would be detrimental
to the country's interest.
That if time for tariff revision ever
comes the only safe revision will be a
"revision upward"
No commodities now on the pro-
tected list should be put on the free
list, nor should any tariffs on any
protected commodities be reduced.
That reciprocity, and free trade are
practically synonymous terms, and,
if enacted into law, would be detri-
mental to the business interests of
the country.
That one satisfactory method of
increasing the revenues in order to
meet the present deficit in the national
treasury and to provide for future de-
fciencies would be to put tariff on
coffee.

EDDY'S POSITION

EDDY'S POSITION
That there should be an immediate
and scientific revision of the tariff.
That the tariff on all trust-controlled
commodities should be reduced, and,
if necessary to promote competition,
removed. Tariffs on commodities
sold cheaper at home and abroad,
should be reduced at least the differ
ence between the dearer home and
cheaper foreign price. Lumber, fish,
paper pulp, and print paper should be
put on the free list.
Reciprocity judiciously entered into
is the wisest class of financial legisla-
ton.
The deficit in the revenues should
be met by the lowering of the pro-
hibitive tariffs on the classes OF
articles above mentioned, and by
more rigid economy in public ex-
penditures; imposition of an income
tax on incomes in excess of $4,000 per
annum; and tariff on coffee, under
existing conditions, would be an out
rage ON the American people.

SHOW ECONOMY
IN MANAGEMENT
FINANCES AT WORKHOUSE, CITL
HOSPITAL AND POOR DEPT.
Board Of Charities and Corrections Will
Probably Ask for Less Money Than
Was Wanted Last Year-Talk of an
Asylum for Incuraples and an Ad-
ministrative Building. "A

Estimates Of the cost Of maintenance
for the workhouse, city hospital and
poor department. for 1906 were taken
up at a meeting of the board of chart
ties and corrections this afternoon. The
indications are that the board will ask
for considerably less than last year,
unless extensive building operations
are taken up. There has been talk Of
acquiring more land for an asylum for
incurables, and for the construction of
an administrative building according to
the original plans. It is believed, how
ever, that if the administration portion
arrange the hospital so that ward for
incurables may be provided without en-
failing the expense Of a separate build
ing. The completion this spring Of the
new building for general purposes has
relieved much of the pressure at the
institution. ~
It is estimated that it will cost
$4,000 to complete the administration
section, while ward for incurables
will cost about $4,000. The board Of
charities and corrections has between
$4,000 and $4,000 available for build
ing purposes. This fund was saved by
not doing any building this year.
When the board asked, year ago,
TOT money lot CQ6 ADMINISTRATION DullQ-
ing, an incurables' ward and $4,000
for brick plant at the workhouse, the
board of tax levy allowed only about
$4,000 for building. Only about $780,
900 has been spent, the money being
used for laundry machinery, dynamos
and other permanent improvements
at the hospital. In addition W. P.
Barton estimates that he will save
about $4,000 from the poor department
appropriation and there will be saw
ing Of about $4,000 in the city hospi-
tai account.
Both departments will be run at less
expense next year than this year. Su-
perintendent Barton will ask for only
$28, 500, altho he was allowed $4,000
for this year. This department. cost
$4,000 in 1903. DR.. E. II. Beckman
asks for $4,000 as against $4,000 al
olwed for this year. The workhouse
will cost more by about $500, as the
population, for some reason, continues
to remain at an unusually high figure.
The total estimate for maintenance is
thus $105, 600, as compared with $780,
900 allowed for this year.
What will be asked for in the line of
building has not been determined, but
it is known that the board is inclined
to exercise the greatest possible econ
omy: compatible with proper admins

LOOPS NECESSARY
TO AVOID DELAYS
GENERAL MANAGER HELD ON
NEW STREETCAE ROUTES.
Thinks the New System Will Please
When People Become Familiar With
It-Transfer System to Be Perfected
-Interurban Cars Now Start on
Regular Schedule. .~ &. 49,.

Minneapolis has reached a point
streetcar line on the same loop,'' said
General Manager W. j. Held today,
in commenting on the criticism that has
been caused by the Encouragement of
lines on the new downtown loops.
old system if we could,O said Mr..
HELD, "but to handle the business
something had to be DONE, We have
expended a large amount in the con-
struction of the loops, that will bring
no added revenue. 1t will, on the other
hand, increase our operating expense.
It will, however, enable us to operate
our lines thru the center Of town with
in every part of the city. During fair
week the advantage Of the new system
will be easily seen, believe. Of course
it will take little time for people to
become perfectly familiar with the
changes, but the company and it's en-
ployees will do everything possible to
assist the public. We have posters in
the cars announcing the new routes,
and will continue them as additional
changes go into effect.''
May Have Universal Transfers.
Complaints have been made that
East Side and Hennepin avenue lines
will not be able to transfer to the Min
nehaha, Smelling and Riverside cars
under the new loop arrangement. Mr..
Held points out that passengers on
these cars can continue out Lake street
and transfer at Lake street to the
IMinnehaha. The route is trife
longer, but there is no difference in
time, as there are fewer stops and the
cars make better time. It is also prob.
able that in a short time the loop trans
fer system may be modified to univer-
sal transfer, good on all loop lines.
The change in the interurban sys
tenn has made possible the running OF
interurbans on schedule time. Inter
urban cars now wait over on First ave
nue. N and Fourth street and start Out
exactly on schedule time, as they dc
in st. Paul from the sidetrack on Rob
ert and Sixth streets. Heretofore al
interurbans have run thru town with
out any waits. -
Minnehaha owl cars will start al
First avenue S and Washington. In
terurban owls will start from Hennepi1
and Washington. Mail will be deliv
cred and received from interurbans al
Third street and Second avenue S.
The change today resulted in some
long waits on the part Of traveller
who fail to read the newspapers o,
the posters in all streetcars announ
cling the changes. Other changes will
be- announced soon and posted in tn,
cars. By following these the public
can tell where to look for the line'
they want. ~t- r.#.

CHARITIES WAR
ON TUBERCULOSIS.
EDWARD r. DIVINE, LEADER OF
MOVEMENT, IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Says the City Jail Is a Model for the
Other Cities Of the Country Thinks
that the State Should Provide Re-
formatory Institution for women
A It's Benefits.

Edward T. Devine of New York, the
leader OF the warfare carried on by the
Associated Charities turnout the coun-
try against tuberculosis, is in Mime
apolls today as the guest Of j. r. King
man. Mr.. Devine is also the editor Of
flcers Of the New York Charity Organ
ization society. While in Minneapolis
ne has made u careful study of the
charity work here and the municipal
government. He said today that the
city jail is an example for other cities,
and also praised the municipal court.
!" What !, Minnesota needs said Mr..
tory. Such an institution would be Of
great economical value, as tie women
confined in it could be taught useful
occupations. In the great majority of
cases it would take the place Of the
state and county prisons. Most Of the
fallen women are weak mentally, and
few know how to work. Then there are
shoplifters and baby farmers and others
who would be taught how to lead an
honest life. 1t is now a question where
to send women who drink but are other
wise respectable. In a reformatory
they would have a long rest from
temptation and a chance to reform. !
Move Against tuberculosis. +
In regard to the advance OF the
antituberculosis movement continued
Mr.. Devine, I would say that asso-
Citations for the prevention of tuberculo-
sis are being formed in all parts of the
country. There were thirty eight Of
these in existence when the, National
association was organized last year.

there any doubt then that adequate

cases will be discovered while a cure is
possible or that everyone will be able
to leave their homes for sanatorium

A MODERN LEAR
OLD MAN FOUND NEGLECTED IN
HOME ONCE OWNED.
After Deciding Property to His Children,
They Turn Him Away and He Goes
, to Live In One Room Of the Old
House-Authorities Get After the
Children.

Living in one small room Of house
which once belonged to him, but which
is now rented over his head, an old
man, half paralyzed, is lying, in his bed
in South Minneapolis. and ponderin'g
over the folly Of deciding property to
children before death. The old man s
case is being investigated by the Asso-
ciated Charities and Officer Bean OF
the Humane society. .... 49, s..r
When he was found, the room was
indescribably dirty, ard the old man
was scarcely able to move. 1t proved
to be a case where a few groceries and
a little money would not be the correct
solution. The room was first ordered
cleaned. Not only was the dirt CHS
eled from the top Of the stove, but it
was even BACKED. 49,.
Then the old man disclosed his story.
Some time ago he decided that he was
getting too old to manage the little
property that he had, and he decided 1T
to his children. It was arranged that
he was to live with one child for a
while and then move on to the next.
The rent from the house in which ne
is now living was to go to the child
with whom he should be staying.
The experiment was then begun.
There were several children and every
thing went fairly well until the visit
was paid to the last child. Then there
seemed nc place to go to, and instead
Of being passed on, he was showed out:
into the world. A certain amount Of
talk arose and the children again
picked him up and passed him down
the line. The second time that he was
dropped OFF the end he was not
picked up.
Fortunately he had reserved the one
small room in the South Minneapolis
house for storing his few belongings.
There he went and there he has been
staying until reported to the Associated
Charities and the Humane society. The
children have been notified by Officer
Bean that unless they fulfil their part
Of the agreement in which he is to
be provided for by them until he dies,
the case viii be brought into court on
the charge Of cruelty: They have
agreed to do better, and the chances
are that the old man g remaining days
will be spent in some degree Of COM
fort.
