The House Committee on Agriculture
has stricken out the amount appropri-
ated this year for free seed distribution
and the battle will soon be on in the
House. There is evidently a growing
sentiment against this seed business,
the seedsmen and by local country deal
ers who handle seeds. If We are not
mistaken the original plan was for the
government to secure new and I'M
proved varieties and send them to diff
ferent parts of the country for expert
mental planting, reports to be made to
the depart ment from which to deter
mine Il. cir PRACTICAL valun. The WY ter in
wears past has received, planted and
reported upon new varieties of Vege
tables. ana during a residence in Wash
mgton was a frequent visitor to and
much interested in the Agricultural
Department. Then we should have up
held strenuously this seed distributions
Now it seems 10 have departed from Its
original purpose and an immense qua H.
tity of common seeds are sent broad
cast over the country, many of them
unsuited to the localities to which they
are sent, and a large per centage
thrown away The National Grange,
representing 100000 Changers, which
met at Portland, Ore, last year, passed
resolutions of the strongest kind de-
i!'nouncing this appropriation as reck-
less waste of public money and OF no
practical value, and it may fairly be
assumed to represent those who would
naturally be most interested in this
seed distribution.

Owe cooked one of the most important
the continuation of the seWei system.
Mavor Shales included this among his
recommendations one year ago, but
nothing was done in that direction, ana
the plan Of doing a certain amount OF
work each year has not been carried
out as it should have been. Tie estab-
fishing of water works made sewer
system necessity, and sanitary and
other reasons demand that it should be
carried to completion as soon as pos

Baugor's municipal election produced
1u7 defective ballots, and 36 were re-
ported in this city, with no doubt an

In his address last year Mayor Shales
said of the highways: with its large
number of wooden bridges and many
miles of plank walk, and also the
present price of lumber, it will be only
a few years before the present appro-
priation will be entirely insufficient,
The co mment The Journal then made,
was as follows, and is pertinent now
The present condition of our streets
and walks is due somewhat to the I'M
wise practice of neglecting necessary
work in order to carry over an uneX
pended balance of the appropriation
If the money appropriated for this pur
pose had been wisely expended eaci
wear our streets and walks would be II
far better condition than they are to
day, and there would be less need fol
increased appropriations. These are
now inevitable in the near future

fairs. There is a middle ground which
we ought to occupy safely" That is a

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: L
notice that in your editorial comments on
Mayor Dunton's message you condemn the
practice of carrying over a surplus from
the street and other appropriations; but
you must be aware that if the outgoing city
government leaves an empty treasury there
will be no funds available for the new gov
eminent until the tax collector can make
his collections. TAX PAYER.
We are quite aware of this fact, but
it does not warrant the practice of rob
ling the necessary appropriation for
streets. 1t is very evident to every one
who has looked into the matter that
for some years past the streets and
walks have not been kept up as they
should have been. In his message last
year Mayor Shales said:
With its large number of wooden
bridges and many miles of plank walks,
and also the present price of lumber,
it rW be only fen years before the pres
ent appropriation miN be entirely INSULT
cient.
This, while referring only to bridges
and walks, is equally applicable to work
on the streets, and warrants the state
ment made last week that in this di-
rection larger appropriations will be
needed for some years to come" A
property owner who should allow his
buildings to run down for want of nee
essary repairs would be looked upon as
penny wise and pound foolish; but this
only affects an individual. a like
policy Oh the part of city affects the
whole community.
