TO RETRENCH
THE ONLY
POLICY

. washington, May Ex-senator James
F.. Hemenway, who was chairman Of the
house appropriation committee and the
watchdog OF the treasury" in the Fifty
eighth congress. vigorously asserts that
the solution OF the governments present
embarrassing fnan ncial situation is not In
revising the tariff or increasing internal
revenue taxes. but in chopping off a lot
OF wastefu expenditures and in holding
other expenditures down to the mini
mum.
He says that retrenchment is the one
logical policy to pursue in doing battle
with the deficit He declares that there
are governmental practices which have
grown into large abuses and that the
use OF the pruning knife on them will
meet.
He said; If the departments had
conhped themselves 10 the use of money
appropriated by congress for the current
fiscal year. there would now be no de-
hciency. II Is very easy matter 10
prove that congress is not 10 blame.
The total amount carried by the appro-
priation bills for the present fiscal year
Is less than the total receipts Of the
government for the same period. II the
department had not spent more than
congress intended they should spend we
would be confronted by a balance on
the other side Of the ledger.
The remedy for our financial fix is in
reduction Of expenditures. In my judg-
ment a change OF the tariff would oper-
ate 10 reduce rather than increase reve-
nues. The government is now engaged
I'm many matters that are proper enough
but that could be dispensed with.
II expect that I viii bring criticism
on my head for saving So but I believe
that the manner in which we are con-
structing public buildings In small towns
over the country has grown 10 be a
colossal abuse. The minute one of them
is erected ii fastens on the government
a maintenance charge OF $4,000 a year.
while In almost any town OF the size
mention commodious and comfortable
postor1ce quarters with light. fuel and
boxes furnished, can be secured for $500
a year There you have an annual waste
OF S2500 a year. TO say nothing for cost
OF constructing the building No more
such extravaganza should be allowed.
we are paying every year $3.50. 900 to
agents for reporting the condition OF the
cotton crop 1t Is astonishing how many
scientific projects the government has on
hand, which seem TO have no practical
value and which could be discontinued
without 80 per cent Of the people know
ing anything about H. but which fasten
a cost on the treasury running into mill
lions Of dollars"

TO ASSUME
The BLAME

Washington, May lS.--The issue over
the action OF the Panama canal com
mission in deciding not to confne its pur-
chases OF ships and supplies to domestic
markets is squarely drawn. President
Roosevelt is heartily I'm favor OF this
course Of action and will assume all re-
sponsibilty for It,
In fact. Il Is the presidents own policy
and not merely that OF the canal com
mission or Secretary Taft. There is every
reason to believe that the president is de-
termined not to swerve from his decision.
and this in the face OF the knowledge
that his position may cause dissension
in the Republican party and has not the
Endorsement OF some members OF his
official family.
The president has made clear 10 his
advisers that he regards his course as the
only proper one 10 pursue. IL the Panama
canal is TO be built economically.

mission at his instigation and that OF
Secretary Taft does not mean that pref
erence in the purchase OF ships and sup
plies will he given 10 European markets,
but marely that II there is or appears
to be a disposition on the part OF the
American shpowners or shipbuilders and
American manufacturers 20 charge what
would be regarded as exorbitant prices.
the canal commission will have tho option
Of going abroad for what Is needed TO
expedite the canal project and secure its
completion at the lowest possible cost.
II Is evident from what Is said In ad-
ministration circles that the government
wa 3. suspicious that those Americans who
had goods TO sell which were needed in
the construction -of the canal were hgur-
ing on profits entirely too large and that
the president was determined not TO sub
NIT TO any such conditions.

press the belief that there will be few.

is scientifically correct and based npon
absolute equity They contend thar the
new rate win maintain the order with
out the constant accession Of young
members, which has heretofore been re-
garded as essential TO the life Of the So
ciety. They admit, of course, that the
increased rates will be rather hard on
the older members, but advance as a
justification for the increase the claim
that these members have for twenty or
thirty years in many instances enjoyed
the benefits Of insurance at less than
cost.
Representative of the supreme coun-
Gil will visit councils in which dissatis-
faction exists, between now and October
/, and explain the new system. Just
what effect the increase in rates win
have on the destinies Of the Royal AR
canum is matter of considerable specu-
lation among the members. An adyo-
yate OF the new rate schedule said
1--WE have come to the bridge which
every assessment Insurance society must
cross, and have crossed it. Our rates
are now permanent and viii not be in
creased in future They are materially
lower than the rates in the old line in
surance companies. We cannot give I'M
sllrance for less than it costs. of course,
but we do give it at cost, plus necessary
expenses, which are comparatively tlif-
ling
..The increase of rates may cause d.
few Of the older members to drop out,
but their number will be small. The
order will not feel the loss. We are
now on sound business footing and the
future of the Royal Arcanum is bound
to be prosperous.
Needless TO say, this optimistic view
is not shared by all.
