HAVE THE TIMES MAILED TO YOU.
MONDAY. AUGUST ls, 1907.
Curing the Surplus,

\ surplus Of $65,OOo,OOO is indi-
Gated by present Treasury receipts.
Three ways are suggested by the
New York Times for Withdrawing
that money from the vaults and put
ting it out among the people. They
are:
BY legislation reducing either tar
if duties or internal revenue taxes.
BY putting Government money in
national banks.
By buying Government bonds in
open market, thus reducing the sur
plus and the debt at the same time.
Secretary Cortelyou can adopt
either or both of the two last means
without legislation. If he does, he
viii merely continue the problem.
Money will pour in at the bung while
ne lets it dribble through the
spigot. The real cure is beyond
him. 1t rests with the people. Once
the voters see it, there will be an
end of protecting infant industries,
which monopolize world markets by
selling cheaper abroad than they do
at home.

GERMANS REFORM

Uniformity IN the various systems Of

Consul Thomas H Norton from Chem

To Exclude or Not?

Automobiles in various parts Of
the land are watching with interest
the battle royal now going on in
the tight little isle of Nantucket as
to the legal right of the selectmen
TO exclude automobiles from their
fair domain. 1t seems that the reg
ulations of the rulers of Nantucket
as to the "chuff carts" have been
protested by summer residents and
that these protests have reached the
State highway commissioners.
Entirely obliviou5 of what might
be decided by the last named, the
selectmen give out the ukase that
they will order the arrest of any
body caught operating one of these
inventions of the devil on the sa-
cred soil of their island. The next
step rests with some gentleman
sufficiently courageous TO offer him
self as a temporary sacrifice to
bring about a final decision in the
high courts.
This sort of ban upon automobiles
is not peculiar to Nantucket alone.
The island of Mt. Desert is passing
through a similar series of quakes
over the matter, and only a few
days ago a man from the mainland
who had the temerity to drive his
machine across the bridge at Tren-
ton was seized, hailed into court, and
fined the momentous sum of 81. His
appeal is already in process of max
ing, and Bar Harborites are agog
over what the result will be.
To lay mind it would seem the
judiciary must find that towns have
no right to exclude peaceable and
law-abiding men from their borders,
no matter if they do enter in tour
ing cars or roadsters. At any rate,
at this period of the worlds devel-
Opment, it seems a senseless thing
to bar out machines that, while
they are sometimes instruments of
danger and discomfort in the hands
of irresponsible persons, are for the
most part well ordered and praise
worthy contrivances.
