A Good Sign.

The presidents Of the subsidiary COM
panies Of the big steel corporation have
completed the wage and salary lists
to become effective April l, and in their
action lies a very favorable indication
for continued good business conditions
in our country. The steel corporation
is the worlds greatest private en-
ployer Of labor, having on it's rolls the
grand total Of 100000 men. 1t paid
out to labor in 1903 the great sum of
$3.50, 900, this in time of excep-
tionally good business. A period Of re-
cession followed and with wage reduc-
tions and something of decrease in the
number of men employed the total labor
outpay in 1904 fell to $99,7l8,000. The
scale now arranged will restore wages
in part and the approximate sum to be
be $112,0O0,000.
two important differences follow this
announcement. The first is that the
management, having gone into the mat
ter carefully, sees good business ahead,
for in no industry are conditions so
be supposed that partial restoration Of
wages to the level of boom times would
be made unless the steelmakers felt con-
fdent that sales are again to run very
heavy. ~. +: il.
Again, this advance, coming without
coercion or demand Of the unreasonable
sort on the part Of the employees,
makes for the inference that under the
surface labor conditions are. far more
settled than was the case year ago,
and that the probabilities are that
there will be no serious difficulties this
spring. Some strikes or lockouts there
are certain to be, but apparently moth
ing of wide extent.
April l to May l is usually the for
native period for labor troubles. How
important clear labor sky is to gen
eral prosperity every business man
knows, and while it is too early to pre-
dict and labor is an uncertain element,
it Is highly gratifying to know that
! the outlook at the moment is better
than at corresponding date for several
years back.

council, s. W. Moore, who succeeds Mr..
cambridge as business manager of the
union, and L. F. Blakefeld Of the car
penters.
A program of musical numbers added
to the enjoyment Of the occasion. E..
F. Schilling of the Musicians union
gave several piano selections, and
Charles r. Woodwork sang. The speak
ers expressed their sorrow because of
the retirement of Mr.. cambridge. Al
ways regarded as a man of sound judg-
ment, conservative and one who COM
manded the confidence and respect Of
both workmen and employers, he was
man whose place is will be hard to fill.
His term expires tonight, after which
time S. W. Moore will conduct the
affairs of the office of business agent.

University Management.

Taking up the remarks of ffTax-
payer' in another column OF this issue,
The Journal is informed by the
president of the board Of regents of
the state university that never but
twice under the cold regime' did the
university overruni its appropriation, and
that was in the period Of the univer-
sity's most. phenomenal growth when
the number Of students who applied
at the beginning Of year was so
greatly in excess of the number with
which the colleges closed the preceding
wear that the increase could not have
been anticipated. The board. Of re-
gents, with these temporary exceptions,
which did not affect the financial policy
Of the board as a whole, has always
kept within the appropriations.
ssTaxpayer'' seems to assume that
the question is between the faculty run
ming the finances, of the university and
3 the board Of control running them. The
4 question is between the regents and the
! board of control. and the members Of
the faculty do not come into the con-
troversy except for the fact that they
are all actively for the return Of regent
/, control because they realize that they
can never make university out Of an
/ institution which is farmed out to two
boards, which are not and cannot be,
in agreement. -.
It is business matter, as t.Tax-
payer" says, and as between the board
of control and the regents the latter is
at least the equal of the other as a
business body. There are men on the
/. boardof regents like B. F.. Nelson, and
~. T. Wyman, who have had much
1 larger success in business than the mem
4 beers Of the board Of control. 1t is alb
surd to ask these men to give their time
and their thought to building up the
!. university and then to pass law COM
polling them to report to the board of
control, which is merely purchasing
and contracting committee for the state
of Minnesota and which is loaded to the
eyes with work for other institutions
than the university.
sss The Journal does not know
whether there is a danger to the repub-
lie in university class shifting from
shifting that has been done in Mime
sofa has been that men who were edu-
Gated and developed here have left the

Private Banking.

, The senate is still tinkering the pri-
vate bank bill which now provides that
no more than so per cent of the capital
Of a private bank may be Invested in
real estate; it is also proposed to re-
qulre a published statement Of the con-
dition of the private bank once year.
Pressure Of public sentiment for the
establishment Of all the. banking insti-
tutions Of the state on sound and SUBJ
stantial basis is very strong, and the
opponents Of the original Eberhart bill,
a simple, direct measure, are realizing
this fact. They have made few con
cessions in their compromise bill, but
not enough to Justify the approval of
the members Of the legislature. IF the
private bank may, be required to publish
"a statement of it's condition once a year,
what reason is there why it should not
publish such q statement five times
year, as the state banks are required to
dos It will certainly give that much
more publicity to the condition of the
bank, result not to be decried by any
adherent> to sound banking principles.
Furthermore, if we are to have pri-
vate banks at all they ought to be SO
labelled and any institution doing a
banking business without a charter from
the state or the nation ought to be re-
CURED to put Private Bank" on it's
checks, on it's sign, on all its printed
matter, and to designate itself in every
case by these words, SO that the public
may know exactly what kind of an in
stitution it is. The private banker GER.
tainly cannot object to this IL the pri-
vate bank is. all that he claims for it.
IF the private. bank is just as good as
