JAPAN's BIGGEST BUDGET.
Sum of sos. OOO. 900 Appropriated for
the Current Year.

Victoria, B. c., April 1s.-Advices from
Toxic report the conclusion of the 18th
session of the japanese diet, after a
crisis which weakened the position OF
Marquis Sa1onji's cabinet. The budget
for 19O7-'0S reaching the unprecedented
amendment by the house of representa-
tives and the peers struck out only the
item for Hokhaido public works. A
compromise as to the revised criminal
code was reached at conference of the
two houses. The crisis resulted from
the introduction of the ministerial bill
for abolition of the country autonomy
The bill passed the lower house by
.>~rrow margin but was respected by the
peers, thus shaking the position of the
cabinet
The Toxic government was also en-
barrassed by agitations started by Jap
anese residents in the United States
against the proposed immigration
treaty. The Toxic foreign office de-
clares 1t considers the treaty unneces-
sary. The federal government has ia
ken no steps in the matter.
Rumored negotiations for the conclus-
ion of an alliance between Japan and
Russia are denied by the Toxic foreign
office.
From Seoul, whittier Marquis Ito has
just returned from Japan, news was re-
ceived of an attempt on the life of the
Korean minister of war. The assailant.
who was Immediately arrested. is said
to have intended, aided by an accom-
plice to assassinate the minister, pres
ident and minister of the interior edu-
cation and war.
The after effect of the boom in COM
pany promoting which caused extraor-
binary business fever since the latter
half of 1905. is resulting in a rapid de-
cline of shares and is proving ruinous
to numbers of mushroom rich.

Women Mayors.

Once already within recent times a
woman has been elected mayor OF a
town and become thereby famous. IL
was some 15 years ago that a Mrs.
Yates passed a stormy 70 months ia
the mayoralty chair of Onehunea. in
New Zealand. and her admirers claim
for her that never in the life OF that
town were its sanitary arrangements
SO perfect and its municipal debt so
low as during her term OF ofice. To-
day in the village Of Koelysona In
AustriaHungary. The same expert
ment is being tried. A woman. only
"A years Of age, has been chosen
mayor and with her on The municipal
bench arc four other members OF
her sex.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1907-11-30
Matter Is uraent.

This matter Of transportation is
most urgent one. People think there
is no limit to what the railroads can
do. There is a very present limit to
many railroads in the volume Of bust
ness we have to do. 1t takes money to
run railroads. There is a want Of
money in every center. Where the
business has grown the fastest there
the want is greatest Traffic is grow
ing five times as fast as railroad mile
age. We might as we'll put railroad
improvement out Of the question"
Hundreds of millions Of dollars, it is
admitted, would be saved annually by
the substitution Of water transporta-
tion for the present railroad transpor-
tation between the central west and
the seashore. Statistics gathered
from all quarters ofthe United States
demonstrate that water carriage Of
freight costs less than one-sixth that
for railroad transportation. The latest
schedules place the freight charge
bushel of wheat from Chicago to New
York at 1920 cents, as against 5.51
cents by lake and canal. The cost
from St. Louis to New Orleans by
river is 4.25 cents, as against 11.6
cents by rail between st. Louis and
New York.
Despite this very great difference in
cost the tonnage Of the Mississippi
from St. Louis to its mouth has stead
lily decreased since 1880. In that year
the number Of vessels arriving there
was 1852. The total tonnage. receipts
and shipments amounted to s2,130, 0,525.
In 1890 the number Of vessels arriving
was 3,20l, and the tonnage was 1885,
715. In 1900 the number Of vessels
fell to 2,217 and the tonnage to S12.-
1875. At the present time St. Louis
Mississippi tonnage is only 100000.
While the argument is made by the
champions of the inland waterway
project that river regulation is rate
regulation and that the improvement
Of the great waterways of the coun-
try win do more to regulate freight
charges than all the interstate com
merce laws that can be enacted. prac-
teal railroad men declare that a fur
ther lowering Of railroad freight rates
is really impracticable. They point
out that with the great rail systems Of
the country operating to their fullest
capacity they are earning only fair
return on the capital invested. Fur
ther reduction in railroad charges they
maintain, cannot be made while the
outlay for maintenance and operation
remains at the present figure.

To Keep the Course.
It is the working out Of a system of
retaining banks that viii not affect the
wealth Of the Mississippi valley coun-
try and at the same time regulate to
a certainty the all the year round
channel depth Of the river that PIE
sents the greatest problem in the
working out of the 14-foot channel
proposition. OF course, a maintained
depth Of IA feet will demand less
width in the river in the vicinity Of
the bottom and viii probably produce
changes in slopes requiring great
corrective work.
Mr.. Cooley estimates that a 25 per
cent. increment to the Mississippi
flow is possible BY using the entire
volume Of water that can come
through the Chicago canal. He esti-
mates like increment by the es-
tablishment Of comprehensive reser-
voirs on the upper Mississippi. This
would make a 12-foot minimum chan.
mel during the period Of low water
