PEELED for all time to pay interest

This is the substance of the pro-
posal to increase the capitalization
Of the gas business. It would not
be permitted, nowadays, in any
other city. Washington is de-
Pe8dent on Congress to save it
from such extortion, and Washing
ton can only save itself By making
its case strong with Congress.
1t is time for every business man,
every consumer. every business or
ganization, to prepare for the cam
paign in Congress to prevent the
imposition of this outrageous

AMERICA SECOND
IN NAVAL STRENGTH
When New Work Is Fin
ished United States Will
Be Third.

m interesting statement, showing the
rela dive order OF the warship tonnage of
the principal naval powers has been
compiled at the office OF the naval in
telligence, which is intended as an an
swer to frequent inquiries Of societies
and persons throughout the country
who have manifested an interest in the
maintenance Of the navy. and its rela-
tive strength and Importance.
The statement shows that, according
to the tonnage Of today, Great Britain
leads the world with a tonnage of 1885,
I16: the United States following with a
tonnage OF 6l1, SIS; France third, with a
tonnage Of SOC, 079; Germany fourth. with
a tonnage Of 90, O32; Japan next, with a
tonnage OF 374.701. and Russia, Italy
and Austria following in the order
named.
However. were the war vessels build
ing by the various nations now com
pleted, the United States would be third
in the list with a tonnage Of III, 75S, fol-
lowing closely France, which would be
second with a tonnage of 6,112, and
Great Britain the leader, with a ton
mage Of 1.S21. $40. The other naval
powers would stand in the same rela-
tive position as they do with their ton
ne ge OF today, although each would
show very substantial increase.

FINANCIAL CRISIS
Cabinet Members Sum-

Can Tax Certificates.

The ''heavyweights" of The Cabinet
conferred with the Presiden- at the
White House today. suppose d!y on the
financial situation. Secretary Cortel-
you called twice during tie forenoon;
the others were Secretary Root, Al
tCTney General BOnaparJe, and Secre-
tary Garfield. Between trips Secretary
CortelyOu had a talk with Secretary
Root at the State Department
The tacJ that clearing house certifi-
Gates are now being circulated in many
cities Of the country in lieu Of currency,
has been brought unOnicIaily 10 the at
tention Of the Treasury officials.
II IS held by legal experts that such
certificates fail within that section Of the
law which prohibits the issuance or
notes OF circulation other than national
bank notes, except upon the payment
Of 10 per cent tax
In view OF the tight money market
threatening the operation OF large mer-
camille and Industrial establishments in
many cities, and the desire Of the Treas
ury Department to do nothing that will
add any embarrassment 10 the present
situation, no step has been taken to col
lect the tax. Nor Is It likely that any
action will be taken, unless the GER
tificates should be kept in circulation
after the necessity for their use shall
have passed.
The Washington times., 1907-11-06

blow at the movement everywhere,
just as the retirement of Mayor
Dunno, in Chicago, and the defeat
yesterday of Mark Fagin, in Jersey
City, were calamities for the same
reason. 1t would have been a back
ward step in the movement.
In national affairs Theodore Z.
Burton stood for much the same
ideals that Tom Johnson repre-
sented in municipal They ought
never to have been pitted against
each other in such contest as the
Cleveland election. Burton ought to
have known, as the vast majority of
his disappointed friends knew. that
johnson was doing well with his
big task in Cleveland, and that he
deserved to be let alone. If Burton
had been as big and as independent
a statesman as some people have
heretofore considered him, he would
have declined to run against John
son, and would have added that he
believed good government would
gain most by keeping Johnson
where he was.
Mr. Burton will never regain the
prestige he has lost by reason of
letting narrow partisanship lead
him into an unholy alliance with the
franehised corporations and the
other interests which united to sup
port him. Mr.. Burton is just as
honest and well-intentioned a man
as Tom Johnson. Bpt man who
couldn't see that the friends Of good
government would lose by the de-
structiOn of Johnson at this time,
is not quite right. He proves that
he doesn't understand what the
great public has in its mind nova
days; that he is more a partisan
than a patriot; that the means look
larger than the end; that, in short,
he has failed utterly to interpret
the operations of the public mind
guided by a wonderfully awakened
public conscience.
Mr.. Burton was defeated as he de-
served to be. 1t is another Of the
mistakes of the Ohio Republicans,
who for some years have seemed
bent on making that State Demo
cratic. They win succeed if they
try few more experiments Of this
sort.
The Washington times., 1907-11-06
The Result in Cleveland.

The expected has happened in
Cleveland. THE expected" simply
because the Burton candidacy was
an inexplicable political mistake,
doomed from the start to iniure
both Burton and his hackers. It
would have injured them even if he
had won. Perhaps it viii harm
them less because Of his defeat.
The people who want good city
government, business administra-
ton. honesty, consideration of pub
lie interest, and elimination of
franchised corporations from the
eorrupting place they hold in city
affairs. have long been for Tom
johnson. This applies to the whole
country. He is looked upon as a
leader Of the national crusade for
municipal reform. He has been get
ting results IN Cleveland. For him
- be defeated would have been a
