was rather a funny situation. The
members had most of them wanted
the increase bad enough, but had
voted against the proposal when
the legislative and judicial appro-
prlatlon bill was passed. All OF
them got on record against the
salary raise on an "Aye and No"
vote. 1t was hoped that the
Senate would insert a provision
for increased salaries when the
bill was passed by that body, and
if this had been the case the House
could have shyly acquiesced,
rather under protest don't you
know, at the idea of having to
take the. money. But the Senate
was not going to force any such
dire decision on them, and the
bill came back with the salary in
crease conspicuously missing. So
the House moved to noncolcur in
the Senate bill and jammed the
increased appropriation through
without demanding a lewiston.
The CHANGER are that the Senate
will concur when the bill goes to
conference SO Senators and men,
bers will hereafter get $1,000 a
year and cabinet officers $12. 900.
As was to be expected, the re-
port of Engineer Stevens on the
Gatun dam which is the essential
feature of the lock canal scheme
at Panama, was entirely favor
able, and disposes of the scare
stories to the effect that the dam
could not be built as proposed.
Mr.. Stevens reported boring taken
at the location OF the dam show
ing that there is a good rock
foundation over nearly the whole
area. Experimental pits have
also been sunk and these show
even a better quality of rock than
was indicated by the drill corps,
so there is no reason why the
dam cannot be built Just as was
proposed i'll the original plan.

market started out strong and
higher than the close last week on
all desirable kinds. We have
good demand for all heavy feshy
feeders, also good light cattle, and
the good ones we have had here
have sold at pretty strong prices.
The majority Of hay-fed steers
have sold for feeders. A few
loads of pretty good heavy horned
steers have sold for beef purposes;
all the good heavy dehorned cat
tie have gone to feeder buyers.
Strictly good 1000 to l2o0lb

The Capital News has been en-.
~deavoring to make political CAPT
tai out of the action of the legis.
lature in allowing the Statesman
81 a page for printing the bills of
this session when it offered to do
the work for Is cents a page, and
our good rel ubliean friend Jones
of the Rlgby Star, has, we be-
leive, thoughtlessly taken up the
cry and also condemns the legis-
lature for this piece of alleged ex,
travagance. OF course the Capl,
tai News would make a great
speel about it, out If the Star edi.
tor had been a little better posted
on Idaho history we are satisfied
hal he would not have termed
this printing contract as ga rotten
deal For the information of
the Star we will say that the last
democratic Legislature of Idaho
paid the Capital News $50 a
page tor printing the bills when
the Statesman offered to do the
work for 80 cents. When we con-
slider that the cost of living, the
cost of paper, and the wages paid
printers are higher today than
they were six years ago, the
Statesman's bid of a 81 a page is
not unreasonable. 1t is ~ccrtainly
not, when we recall that the Cap
ital News got $3.50 a page six
years ago. We firmly believe
that "to the victors belong the
spoiIs,' but we do not believe IN
giving the spoiIs out at uureason:-
ably high prices. In view of the
fact that the Fremont county edi-
tors have just formed an associa-
ton, having for its object the
maintaining of Legitimate prices
for advertising and job printing.

One on the Railroads

AT the National Woolgrowers'
Association which met at Salt
Lake last week, Aey discussed the
trouble of having stock trains laid
out on sidings in Wyoming for
hours at a time to let empty cars,
and cars of canned goods pass
going west. Frank Plaisted an
swered for the road and said they
had tried giving stock trains the
right of-way over everything but
passenger trains and found it i'm
possible to get their empties back
again. He said the business Of
the country had increased SO rap
idly it was impossible to build
engines and other equipment fast
enough to keep pace with it. That
the builders of rolling stock could
not fill more than a minor part of
their orders.
Some fellow with statistics in
mis- pocket showed that the roads
had moved but very little more of
the products Of the farm and the
range in 1906 than in 1905, and
If his statements were true, prov
ed that the roads are keeping
down expenses, handling all the
business they can with pres.
ent facilities, overworking the sys
tenn, increasing their profits and
increasing the number of avoid.
able wrecks.
l.. Jas. J. Hill the railroad mag.
nate, says the business of the
country has increased 10 pei
cent in the last ten years, and
that the increase in the facilities
for handling it had increased only
20 per cent.
The inter state commerce com.
mission reports the farmers of the
northwest have suffered tremeEd,
Gus losses because they could not
sell their gralni that the North.
western had largely increased
their equipment, but yet had haul
ed less by 10, carloads thar
during the same period in 1905.
That the elevators in the grain.
producing regions were bursting
with grain, and the large termina
elevators on the Great Lakes
were handling only about one
third of their capacity. This
takes the wind out of the sails OF
the railroad officials who used the
big grain shipments as a reason
why they had not hauled more
coal.
The commission shows that tie
roads need more engines, anc
need some better system for keep
ing their cars at work. That
thousands of cars are empty or
sidings in various places during
the car famine, and in the rush
and confusion they stand there fol
weeks.

From Washington.

tlal revision talk mas Deen re-
vived by the speech of Secretary
Root before the Foreign Trade
Convention. All the agreements
of the House and Senate leaders
that this subject should not be
brought up at the present session
have gone for naught in face of
the manifest interest in the matter
all over the country. To be sure
a minimum and maximum tariff
law does not mean necessarily ire
vision and if the stand pat ele-
ment has its way, it will not even
mean the lowering of the tariff
wall. Still, there is a chance
that some concessions might be
made and in this view of the case
there is much interest in all
quarters.
There are two propositions adj
vanced in connections with maxi.
mum and minimum tariff. That
of the stand pat element is to al
low the present law to remain in
force and grant tbs President per-
mission to increase the existing
duties 25 per cent where it is
shown that American exports are
being Disseminated against in
any country and to impose a Is
per cent duty where such Is de.
sired even in the case of articles
now on the free list.
The proposal of the revisionists
on the other hand, is that the
present tariff should remain the
maximum rate, and in case it was
wished to make a concession to a
friendly country the President
should be allowed to scale down
the existing duties 20 per cent.
This would be something like re-
vision, but there IS such a wide
breach between the two factions
that it is very doubtful whether
anything in the way of a satisfac-
tory compromise measure can be
agreed on at the present session.
Congress has come to the front
with just the promptitude that
ought to be expected in forward
ing relief to the Kingston earth
quake sufferers. The President
has issued no proclamation on the
subject. but the'House and Senate
rushed through a joint resolution
providing for the forwarding of
the steamship Cletic with supplies
almost as soon as the proposal
was made. There was some little
discussion in the House over the
technical form of the resolution,
but in the Senate it was put
through absolutely without debate.
The American Red Cross has APP
propriated IS, 900, for the relief
of the sufferers, and this is being
rushed to Jamaica by the first
steamer. All reports of the
disaster agree that it is actually
greater in loss of life than that at
San Francisco, and the suffering
Of the inhabitants is the more
acute seeing that they are so
isolated from sources Of relief.
The first supplies which reach
them will naturally be most wei
come: and this country is in a
position to give them prompter
aid than any other nation. 1t is
a satisfaction to feel that this aid
is beng given so quickly and
generously as should be the case
even'to any enemy in distress, but
how mnch more to a related and
friendly people.

posts and reserves only
by a great contraction of
credit. They do their best
to make this contraction
as small as possible by
importing gold, while the
Treasury in the last few.
years has helped most
materially by various de-
vices for increasing the
money supply.
1t is the opinion of many
students of the money
question, however, that
no matter what the supply
of money in the country
might be, we should still
have periods of tight
money as long as the sea-
sonable requirements for
hand to hand circulation
vary and there is no means
of utilizing bank credit to
satisfy that variable de-
mand. If in any season

a clear comprehension of
the functions of money.
1t is not necessary to make
all those fine distinctions
which are made by the
economists, but it is abb
solutely essential to have
clearly in ones mind the
practical fact that the two
great uses of money are,
first as a circulating me-
dunn, and second as bank
reserves. In this country,
with its system of sub
treasures and its practice
of withdrawing the Gov
eminent receipts from the
channels of trade and lock-
ing the money up in it's
own vaults, there becomes
a third use for money, or
rather a third purpose to
which money is devoted.
Practically speaking, all
of our money will be
found in one of these

or in the treasury of the Government. The small
amount that is boarded, that is used, as the
mlsts would put it, as store of value, is with us
IN ordinary times so Insignificant to be negligible
second consideration of great Importance in
discussion of the money supply is to understand
that the volume of money in circulation is deter
mined by the habits and will of the people large
and is not matter over which financiers bankers,
and Treasury officials have much, if any, control
The amount of currency which men carry in their
pockets will vary in some measure times
prosperous otherwise; but in the largest degree
that amount is determined by each mans habits
and judgment. At any given time bankers have
little influence in determining it. A will carry
SO much money in his pockets, and if he has more
he will either directly deposit it in bank or so
it that it will quickly find its way into bank deposits.
In discussion of the money question, then,
must keep in mind that the two main of money
for circulation and reserve; that the total vol
ume of circulation is determined by the will of
individuals while the total amount of bank reserves
will equal the total money supply in the country,
less the amount in circulation, and further less the
amount in the Treasury vaults Bankers cannot
largely vary the supply of money used as bank
reserves.
Strain Upon the Bankers
THE enormous increase in bank deposits in the
L last ten years has put an exceptional strain
upon bankers in the direction of securing sufficient
sustain the deposits Deposits in national
banks in that period have increased from two thou
sand one hundred and forty-two million to six
thousand lightweight million dollars These gigan-
tic figures take no account of four five thousand
millions of deposits in other than national banks.
On the other hand, it is true that have had very
great increases in this same period in money
stock. The total circulation has gone up from
fifteen hundred millions to two thousand seven
hundred and fifty millions National banks have
issued three hundred and twenty-five million dollars
increase of bank notes. while the gold stock in the
country is about thousand millions greater than
it was ten years ago. This marks per capita
increase from twenty-one dollars and seventy -one
cents to thirty-two dollars and thrty-two cents at
the present time. Nevertheless, the lawful money
reserves held by national banks were eighteen and
one-fourth per cent of their deposit liability ten
years ago. while at the date of the last statement the
percentage less than eleven The percentages
referred to do take into account that portion of
reserve which it is permitted banks to hold in the
form of deposits in other national banks
A factor that has been of world wide Importance
affecting the money supply of every country, has
been the enormous increase in the production of
gold. More gold was produced in 1906 than would
equal the entire gold holdings of all the national

Belief About the Supply

UNFORTUNATELY it is problem about which
~ there is much confusion of thought concerning
the fundamental data With the well nigh universal
desire for money it is not surprising that there should
at all times, be wide spread belief that the supply
is inadequate In times when normal conditions
to interest rates have given way to periods where
most extravagant percentages are current, and in
times when there is deep concern in regard to the
adequacy of the cash reserves it is not unnatural
that there should be many who would hold to the
opinion that there is not money enough to do the
business that is waiting to be done.
The first requisite in considering the question is
