THE INCOME

st. Louis Giobe- Democrat: Al
statement for June and for the fiscal
year ending with that month is that
the surplus increases as fuller returns
come in. The revised figures show
an excess of llore than S26. 000, GOO in
the governments receipts over its
expenditures for the fiscal year.
There was a deficit OF ss2 900, 900 in
1903 and. of S24 ,000, 900 in 1904. This
change in which there is a balance
OF SIG, 900, 900 o. the right side OF
the ledger for 1906 is a decidedly
satisfactory development.
Necessarily the governments outgo
increases as the years pass. The
country is growing in population
and business, and the extent OF the
governments activities constantly
broadenc. There are excellent
reasons why the cost OF the govern
ment is greater ia 1906 than it was
in 1896 or 1900. The COST will be
still greater in 1910. But income
increases faster than outgo. Not
only are the people better able to
pay the new burdens OF government
but the fund for their payment keeps
on growing. This is why the treas
ury officials are feeling an exhilara-
ti0n these days which has been abb
sent in recent years.
The republican is a debt paying
and surplus providing party. 1t cut
down close to the vanishing point
the debt caused by the democratic
rebellion. But the country thought
that debt paying was going too fast
a gait and 1t elected a democratic
president. Then. after an interval
OF four years, 1t chose that demo-
cratic president again, aud as a con-
sequence of the second blundcr bonds
had to be sold to meet the deficit in
the treasury which democratic rule
caused. The interest bearing debt
of the government was increased
S283, 100000 during Cleye.and's &C.
ond term in buying gold to protect
the g%reenback redemption fund and
to keep the government from drop
ping to the silver basis. The deficit
as a relic ~ democratic ways was
cor abolished after the republicans
went to the head OF the government
in 1897, Notwithstanding the greatly
Increased expenditures which the
Spanish war caused. The Panama
canal is now putting the govern
ment's expenditures up, but republic
can sway is increasing the revenue
still fast L. This 1926. 00O, 900 surplus
for the fiscal year Just ended is a
powerful argument in favor of con-
tinued republican ascendency IN the
congressional election OF 1906

GOVERNMENT NOT COSTLY

to the belief that it costs too much
money 10 run the United States
government-that in view OF the
lighter expenses OF yeals gene by
that altogether an unusually large
amount of cash is required to meet
the annual expenses. The New York
| Tribune sefmonizes to sofne extent
on this thought and explains that it
does not cost SO much to pay the
! expenses Of our government as some
other countries have to pay. Here is
what the Tribune sets forth as its
reasons.
Attention has recently been called
to the gratifying fact that the
a nerican government IS decidedly
less expensive, proportlonateiy. than
that OF any great power OF Europe.
1t is. however. observed that its
cost is steadily increasing. and may

ern developments Of governmental
activity are all good things, but they
all cost. Our government would be
cheaper without them, though less
{ ficient.
There are also differences of rates
of payment to members and employees
of governments. Our senators and
representatives receive salaries. The
peers and comnoners OF Great Brit
ian do not. On the other hand
British cabinet officers and other
important placeholders receive much
higher salaries than such men in
this country. There are numerous
other points of difference between
governmental systems, all affecting !
cost, and often being dictated by |
the very genius OF the governments
or Of the people who maintain them
The supreme question. however. is
not one OF cost so much as one of
efficiency. nd in that respect also
governments vary greatly. Some
governments are inetIec-
tive, while some much less costly
are efficient to a high deeIee.
Generally speaking, il may he said
that il a government does it's work
with reasonable fidelity and thor
oughness it is worth all 1T costs and
much more. There are few things in
the world so cheap in comparison
with their value as a good govern
went. But II a government does
not do Its work 1T is far too dear. no
matter how cheap it may seem.

The recommendations of such com.

this country as well as to citizens of
the United States who reside upon the
Isle Of Pines, and who took up resi-.
dence there after the treaty with
Spain conveyed the island to this coun-
try at the close of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war.
The United States should not for an

citizens in any quarter Of the globe,
and the fact that it permits Ameri-
cans upon the Isle of Pines to be i'm
posed upon and bulldo7ed by Cuba,
especially in view of the fact that the
isle is rightfully the property of the
United States, is not only evidence OF
a weak, vacillating policy, but a serl-
Gus blow TO the rights Of American

Absurd Claim Of
the Bureau Press,

The newspapers which have been
opposed TO Governor Broward did
not wait until the count had been
finished before they commenced to
characterize the recent primary as a
"rebuke to the administration" On
what they based their assertion has
not yet been determined and We
doubt if any Of them can satisfactory
" explain it. The following from the
Maimi Record describes the situation
IN that county-One Of the counties
where the alleged "rebuke" occurred.
Tie Record says:
Il Is rank assumption on the part
Of some of the state papers to assert
that Tuesdays primary was averse to
the administration.
In the first place, not enough is
known yet Of the results ID oe GER
tain Just who has been elected to the
legislature.
IF that were known, there is
Icthing to indicate that the measure
favored by the governor and the last
legislature In regard to the drainage,
has lost friends in that body.
Take. for instance, the election in
Dade county. The successful candi-
date Is already ranked by the up
state papers as anti-adminis.ratiOn
wheE, as q matter Of fact, he openly
Endorsed the drainage plan, although
not approving Of the plan for the as
sessments for the cost
II Is more than likely that the
same condition prevails in all the
other counties.
The drainage question was not an
issue, as issues are generally defined.
Men were generally elected on their
individual merits and not with ref
erence TO their positions on the drain
age question. Schools, good roads,
the Buckman bill, local issues and
were all more powerful factors in De
termining the voters choice than was
the drainage proposition.
But, of course, the bureau papers
would like 70 have it appear that
Governor Broward in his carrying
out the law, as determined by the
people, had been rebuEed.
Nothing could be more absurd.
We might also take Escambia
county as an example. Neither Gov
ernor BrOward nor the drainage ques-
ton was an issue in this county andl
70 say that the result was either for
the governor or against him would
be absurd on its face. II is quite
likely that the situation is much the
sane all over the state and not un-
al the combined wisdom of the peo-
pies representatives at Tallahassee
IS expressed there will it bel
possible to tell what the fate Of
the drainage scheme is to be or howl
far Governor Browsrd's various poll
cies will be endorsed.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Excelsior Springs, Mo, dated May %
says: The Democratic Judicial Con
vention, to name two judges for the
state supreme court, met here today
There were fewer delegates at today's
convention than at any other for many
years, about One-half the number
selected having sent proxies. The
railroads, for the first time in years,
declined to furnish delegates with
passes and this was said to be the
cause Of the small attendance" This
explains in part why the political con.
TentiOn has fallen into disrepute and
why the primary is succeeding it in
all parts of the country. Think of a
judge nominated by a convention com
posed Of men who owed their presence
there to the railroads on whose inter
ests the nominee must later sit in
judgment! Is it any wonder that
under such circumstances people lose
faith in courts as well as in the politi-
clans who nominate and elect the
judges?

There is no such practice as that OF

such cases it not as to the technical
formality of the showing made to the
court for the Issuance of the writ,
but as to the legality of the alleged

Enquiry the parties are not confined

in the petition for the writ, but may

any matter that affects the legality
OF the detention.
