Bonds and Certificates.

AS measure of relief to the financial situation,
the Federal Treasury Department has authorized the
issuance of $50 900 900 worth of Panama Canal bonds
and $10O 100000 worth of Government certificates
of indebtedness, the former to draw per cent and
the latter per cent interest The bonds will be
redeemable in gold after ten years from the 1st of
August, 1906, and will be exempt from taxes or
duties, and the certificates will become payable in
one year from date
1t is presumed that these Government issues will
draw money from its hiding places, as they possess
the security that is absolutely lacking in bank trans
actions in times of trouble, the faith of the Gov
eminent being behind them, as it would be behind
a piece of silver bearing the stamp of Federal au
thorty.
The bonds can be used as a basis for additional
bank note circulation and will increase the volume
of the currency. The Government will meet its
current expenses with the certificates and it will not
be necessary to disturb the treasury cash balance of
$240 100000, most of which is on deposit in National
banks throughout the country. Such the benefits
to be derived from the action of the general Gov
eminent, which has fastened to the rescue with
gratifying alacrity
1t was in 1898 that President Cleveland's Secre-
tary of the Treasury established precedent for the
action of President Roosevelts Secretary of the
Treasury For many years thereafter Republican
newspapers and Republican orators continued to re-
mind the public of the visitation of calamity upon
the country because it had fallen into the sin of
Democratic majority.
The fact that a Republican administration has been
compelled to duplicate the measure of relief
poyed by the last Democratic administration ought
to go far toward removing from the public mind the
error that any political party guarantee active
business prosperity in the face of conditions that
render prosperity impossible

though q slight pail would bring them
down. He removed every evidence of
the work and fastened ropes to the
tops &c the trees and concealed more
than 100 men in the forest to man
age the ropes at a signal from him.
The duke knew on what day the king
would walk in the wood and planned
the work accordingly. The king took
his accustomed promenade. and. as
usual. expressed his sentiments about
the hated forest. Your majesty. the
forest shall be removed whenever you

COUNCIL GETS AT
UTILITY FIGURES
LIGHT AND PHONE COMPANIES
MUST FURNISH DATA +
ss-ie.er Instructions to Gas Concerns
VIII Be Made More Sweeping
for All Quasi-Public
Corporations

Acting on the advice of the legal de-
partment of the city the legislative com
mittee of the city council will proceed at
once to make a report on the advisable
ity of compelling electric light and tele-
phone companies to make as detailed
statements of business in January under
the public utility act as is required OF
the gas companies.
CITY Attorney Leslie R. Hewitt yester-
day outlined the situation to the council
and his suggestions were quickly acted
on. He said:
referring to the ordinance recently
ma ssed by ' our honorable body regulating
the sale and use of gas, wish to call
your attention to the fact that the regu-
lations therein contained concerning the
operation of gas companies in the city are
much more extensive than those relating
to other public service corporations as
to whose business the city has the power
to make regulations under the charter
refer to electric light and telephone
companies.
.'At the present time the business of all
such companies, to wit, gas telephone
and electric light companies, is regulated
orally referred to as the public utility
ordinance.
"It seems to me that, in view OF the
fact that you have passed an ordinance
prescribing regulations for gas companies
only, different from and more detailed
than those prescribed in the ordinance to
which have referred, then 1t would be
advisable to consider the question of max
ing further regulations relative to the
electric light and telephone companies to
the end that such companies may be
placed upon substantially the same foot
ing as gas companies have been placed
One of the primary objects of such legls-
lation as that of which the public utility
ordinance is an illustration is to place the
council in a position to fix the annual
rates for public service corporations upon
the basis of full and accurate informa-
ton.
This object is attained by requiring
companies of the character l have men
toned to present and file annual state
ments of their business and affairs In the
month of January of each year.
"You have required the gas companies
to file more detailed statements than
heretofore. and l would respectfully sug-
gest the advisability, from legal stand
point, of making similar requirements
concerning electric light and telephone
companies"
