with the painstaking care and intelligent econ
omy shown this year by the Appropriations
Committees OF the House and the Senate. It is
easy 10 get up comparisons showing a marked
increase in expenditures since 1898 or 1887. One
reason for this is that in 1898 for instance.

New-York tribune., 1906-07-05
NOT 4 TWO BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS.

AS Is usual when the appropriations made by
Congress for any given year are footed up,
opposition statesmen and newspapers are now
busily raising the cry OF extravaganza and pre-
dieting deficits and new taxation. Some in
cenious headline maker has fathered the sug-
gestiOn that the 59th Congress is going into his
tory as a -billiOn-dOllar Congress, and this
idea has gained currency among the superficial
and half-anfOrmed. Even so intelligent news
paper as 'The New Orleans Times Democrat
was misled into saying the other day:
II the short session OF Congress. which meets
next December, is as liberal the first session,
the country viii have TO become a two billion
dollar country to meet the expenditures. Taxes
viii have 30 be increased TO meet the extrava-
gance Of Congress. for the estimated receipts
viii not equal the appropriations.
The trouble with such critics is that they take
the gross appropriation figures for any year as
representing actual demands on the Treasury s
income, and pay no attention TO certain impor-
sant set-Offs and deductions. Thus for the fiscal
year 19oS'07 the grand total Of regular an
nual and permanent annual appropriations is
$3.50, ,3O1 g. The Treasury has an annual
income OF about S6OoOO0OoO so there is an
apparent deficit Of S2SO,Oo0.oOO. But an anaIy-
sis Of the appropriations viii show that this
deficit is only nominal and constructive the
governments revenues being really somewhat
in excess Of its actual needs. From the $780,
er0.Oc0 must be deducted first the Postofice
appropriation OF S19l 100000 The postal SER
vice does not quite pay its way. but the deficit
for l906-O7 TO be met from the Treasury will
probably not exceed S10GO00QO Including this
excess cost. the total Of appropriations should
therefore be only S699,oOOO0O In the Sundry
Civil and other appropriation bills Congress au-
fhOrlzed the expenditure of So. 10000 for work
on the Panama Canal But this amount will
be raised through the sale Of canal bonds and
will not be taken as cash from the Treasury.
Excluding this account the total Of appropria-
fions falls 70 $685. 10000 II should be still
further reduced by excluding the item of S22,-
100000 paid out OF deposits Of national banks
10 redeem outstanding bank notes-an appro-
pTiatiOn which involves no actual expenditure
from the TreasuTy's revenues and Is only au-
thoriZed as a matter Of bookkeeping Further
more, the sinking fund OF S57. 100000 should be
deducted, for this sum is only set aside when
available and then-in whole or in part-at the
discretion Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
With these set-ofls the Treasury's actual obiga-
rons 81 1Soe'o7 viii amount TO about S577s s5o0-

THE RUSSIAN LAND BILL.

The Land bill introduced into the Douma by
the Russian government deserves careful at
tention, as a sincere effort to solve what is
probably the most serious and perhaps most
difficult industrial and social problem in the
Russian Empire The revolutionists both Con-
stitutionalists and Radicals have not exag-
gerated the importance Of that problem in de-
claring it TO be fundamental and to require
precedence over all others. 1t is sufficient to
say that it is a subject of the highest impor-
tance to about one-third of the entire population
of the empire. We all know how great a part
the land question has played in Irish affairs for
many years. In Russia it is at least equally
important
The Emperor's proclamation or message, with
its professions of devotion TO the popular veal,
NAV have little effect upon men who have
learned TO interpret such things mere for
malities But the specific terms of the proposed
law will command serious interest 1t is first
provided that all the arabic state lands shall
be sold TO peasants in small lots on easy terms.
It is rightly held that the forests should be re-
tained as forests for the general good of the
country. Next, the government is to purchase
all the private lands which may be offered by
their present owners. and resell them in like
fashion 10 peasants, even though sometimes at
a loss TO the state. In order TO guard against
the retransfer Of lands from peasants TO mobiles
and the recreation Of large estates, it is pro-
vided that land once owned by peasants
never be alienated from that class of owners,
but If sold by peasants must be sold to
other peasants. IL is also provided that a
peasants land cannot be seized for debt
Finally, on the ground that there is not enough
land in European Russia for all the people, the
hill offers facilities for migration to Siberia, and
prescribes that in case peasant proprietors thus
migrate from European Russia the government
shall take charge OF the lands which they leave
and sell them, for their benefit to other peas
ants
These are in brief the salient features of this
measure II will not suit those extremists who
have been clamoring for naturalization Of the
land or for the conhscation of all landed es-
tates without indemnity and their gratuitOus
distribution among the moujiks. In some de-
tails It may not please even the Constitutional
lists. who have committed themselves to the plan
OF enforced appropriation Of private lands.
though with indemnity. But IN the main its
provisions viii probably be regarded by many
iudicious and impartial men, both in and out

EARN LARoR.

It is refreshing TO hear some straight talk"
on the farm labor famine from one OF the most
influential papers OF the Northwest The st.
Paul Pioneer Press admits that this summer
as in former years, the farmers of the West
will lose millions of dollars because they have
not enough harvesteTs to handle the grain crop
It does not. however, indulge in the usual senti-
mental regrets that so few Of our fellow citi-
zens-to-be aspire 10 be tilers Of the soil. It
blames the defective organization of Western
agricultural communities, saying:
The fundamental idea Of that organization is
a collection Of big farms, operated each by its
owner with just as little hired help as Will sur
flee for halfway, superficial care through the
greater portion Of the year, while for the extra
amount of labor required at seed tin1e and more
particularly at harvest. reliance is placed upon
transient workers, who are expected TO come
from the cities and elsewhere, ''if nothing un-
usual prevents" No provision or next TO none,
is made for supply of resident wage workers,
trained TO farm labor.
Why should we blame the immigrant if he
refuses to be tempted by stories Of high wages
at harvesting for few weeks when he knows
that no permanent employment at farm labsr
will be offered him when the harvest is over?
The average immigrant is much more intelli-
gent in his choice of an occupation than he is
generally credited with being; he seeks work.
for the most part, where it is best paid II
the farmers bid for his services is lower or
less attractive than that Of the manufacturer
so much the worse for the farmer
In view of the social and political objections
to the establishment in this country of a sys-
TEN of landlords and dependent tenants, 1.-The
PiOneer-PreSs's'' recommendation is for the
creation Of a system of small landholdings and
"hOmecrofts" for agricultural laborers, these
little farms being Of such size-say from one
to ten acres-as to enable the -crOfter to make
a fair part of his living from the cultivation of
his own land, but leaving him at liberty to take
service with the owners of large farms in the
busy season. This would satisfy the land hunger
Of the immigrant who had been farmer in his
own country, and would prove a more potent
influence to attract him to the soil than the
prospect Of intermittent though highly paid,
farm labor. Our contemporary believes that
such "hOmecrofts,' scattered in little colonies
throughout the region of great FARMS would not
only put an end to agricultural Labor famines,"
but would impress the square mile farmer
with the advantages of intensive cultivation or,
at any rate of a more economical method of
agriculture through his observation of the
larger returns to the acre which the Italian and
other thrifty European immigrants would prob
ably obtain from their little patches. Such a
plan is at least worthy Of consideration.
