The NegatiUe
By Moses E. Clapp

IT the present pace OF increasing expenditures is
\ TO be kept up, the people of this country in
national, state, and municipal matters have
10 face the problem of increased revenue This
could be avoided if public expenditures could be
treated in anything ike a businesslke way; but
where is the man who would have the courage to
seek the reform of present conditions by lessening
public expenditures?
There are two reasons for this condition. We
have grown SO great a nation, the ramlfications
of our Government varied, and the admInStra-
tive agencies vast that it IS practically impossible
TO apply personal supervision TO the ordinary
expenditures Great departments have grown up
IN which are buried great bureaus whose financial
operations be scrutinized only by personal super
vision, which it IS impossible TO secure
Another reason why we cannot decrease, but find
constant increase of expenditure inevitable, IS the
WIDE spread feeling that every dollar Wruns from
the public treasury for local disbursement Is SO much
nrung from a separate identity, the people failing
~ realize that every dollar thus secured from the
public treasury must FIRST be obtained in some way
or other from the taxpayer This feeling has grown
until the value Of "a man S services IN the national
Congress or State Legislature Is too often measured

placency, or perhaps it might properly be
said to demand prohgacy in national expenditure
along the line of local distribution. IS that under
the present system the tax IS paid unconsciously,
On the other hand an income tax would bring home
TO the taxpayer the possible realization that money
secured from the public treasury not secured
from some district identity, but in fact simply
the taxpayers money collected and distributed;
and if an income tax practicable, this in itself
would be a very strong reason in favor of resortng
to IT, But the difficulty with the income tax IS
that probably no system of taxation could be
devised under which those best able 10 pay the
would be 50 sure of early and finally escaping the
burden.
When the taxpayer witnesses the unbusinesstke
methods of government. the constant multiplication

A PRESS CRITICISM.

Lord Northcliffe, the famous En-
glish editor, recently settled for $780,
600 libel suit brought against his
newspapers by the Lever soap firm.
Lord Northcliffe often visits America
and he admits that many of his best
journalistic ideas are the fruit OF these
visits.
AT the same time,'' said a New
York editor the other day, Lord
Northcliffe is a severe critic of the
American press. One of mis- structures
is about our padding. He says that
when something striking in the news
way turns up we invariably print
columns and columns about it, page
after page, day after day, though in
reality half the time we may only have
enough facts for ten or twenty lines.
AT the Press Club on Nassau street
he told one night a story on this
head.
He said that a reporter came weari-
ly into the office and approached the
city editors desk with disconsolate
air.

SETH LOW FAVORS
COOL|E EXCLUSION

CHICAGO, October 24.-Immigration,
with special reference to the Chinese
Exclusion act, was discussed by ex-
Mayor Seth Low, of New York, in an
address before the Chicago Association
of Commerce yesterday. Mr.. Low in
dorsed the so-called Roosevelt poll
cy" of excluding from this country on
ly the class of Chinese known, as
coolies.
~ am in favor of the purpose, but
not the form, of the Chinese Exclusion
act, !" said Mr.. Low. ''President Roose-
welt is right in his policy of opposition
to the slavelike labor of coolies in this
free country. 1t is an insult to an old,
wise, and proud race such as the Chi
nese to exclude their students and
great men from our shores. [ am in
sympathy with the great object of the
Chinese Exclusion act-to keep the Pa
cifc Coast free from the numerical pre-
ponderance of an Asiatic population.
If there ever was a matter of public
policy in which the undesirable citizen
doctrine should be enforced to the limit
1t is the immigration question.
Degenerates and people of low
morals are the most undesirable class
of immigrants. But there should be
no educational tests. Physical fiber
and stamina should be the chief quail
ties required -

All windows to saloons must be

JAPAN TO SHARE
CONTROL WITH US
TOXIC STEAMSHIP MAN TALKS OF
FUTURE OF PACIFIC OMEAN
TRADE.

TOXIC, May 17.-Mr Shiraishi man
ager of the Oriental Steamship Com
pany, said today: THE steamship
service on the Pacific is of a varied
nature, but it will be controlled by
Japan and America Freight transport
tation has greatly increased in the last
ten years ana the indications are that
it will continue to increase in the flu
ture. The same is true Of passenger
traffic. The number of travellers will
be increased on account of the closer
relations between the East and the
West. This renders it necessary to
make the means of conveyance on the
sea as comfortable as those on land
by improvements in steamship service.
THE periodical service will be in
creased between Japan and America,
both countries being interested in im-
proving it. This is true also of the
service between Japan and South
America, because a new empire is be-
ing created there. The destiny of this
country depends somewhat upon pro-
perly utilizing Pacific transportation
routes and hence we must always seek
! to establish them on a firm basis with
view to the development Of Japan's
interests"
