DEPRESSION IN GERMANY

While financial and business condi-
lions have not been of the best in the
United States during the year past, it
Is triffe in comparison with the con-
ditions now prevailing in many Euro
pean countries, but principally in
Great Hritian and Germany. From
well Informed writer's, it is CLEANED
that while conditions are very bad in
England, they are even worse. if
possible in the German empire.
one well known magazine writer in
Germany. who is usually verv con-
serVatIvs in his statements. declares
that by the first of the year more than
half a million workmen wi he opt of
employment and that if municinal
authorities do nothing to alter cond,-
tlons, the army of UNEMPLOYED will
Do swelied to at least three-quarters
OF million before spring. This is q
surprising condition when the popula-
tion OF that nation is taken into con-
sheraton and undoubtedly is causing
serious alarm.
But one of the worst features in
connection with this condition is that
'here is apparently no permanent re-
lief. The depression in the Un,ted
States during the past few months was
caused to considerable extent by the
presidential election, which usually
has n similar effect. Here the de.
presslonlls rapidly passing away, with
prospect in the near future of az
good times as this country ever wit.
"eSSeo' But in Germany the
people have nothing of the sort to
Look forward to. Conditions have
been growing gradually worse until
they have reached a place where
action of some sort is imperative,
yet no solution to the problem has
been found.

PENSION THOSE THAT NEED IT

PENSION THOSE THAT NEED IT
The. scheme of pensioning post-office
clerks, is now being agitated, just as
if that class of employees of the
government need or desire a pension
in their old age. Post. office clerks
receive for their services, which
are neither dangerous nor arduous,
from $500 to So, 600 per year which all
must admit is real genuine snap, es-
pecially as they are under civil service
and can retain their positions SO long
as they perform the duties assigned
them. With ordinary economy, they
ought to save goodly sum for their
old age and be Independent. The aver
age pay of the laboring class according
to trustworthy statistics is only $3.50
per annun, and they are the ones who
should receive old age pensions, the
same as the system which now pre-
walls in Germany, will soon be inaug-
urated in Engla and no doubt will
eventually be adopted In this country.
With the large revenue to be derived
from an income tax, such an expend-
iture could be met without depicting
the treasury. 1t is the mechanics,
artisans and laborers which add to the
wealth of the country in which they
do not participate and it would only
be just to give them part of that
wealth in their old age to make them
comfortable and happy.

1t is we'll known that Mr.. Taft

ter and as be promised thorough and
honest revision of the tariff when his
administration comes intu power. The
tariff bill is going through tn stages
Of its preliminary hearing now and it
Is said that Mr.. Taft is sppall d at

which are seeking high protection
In some instances, parties are as ing

number OF great anufact RS
have freely admitted tat bet little

known that Speaker Cannon leans
very strongly towards a high tariff
and having "stood pat" so long, seems
unable to stand any other way and it
il int!mated that he will oppose q
thorough and honest revision of the
tariff such as Mr.. Taft desires; u
fight OF determination will be made
upon him for election to the Speaker
ship of the next Congress by Mr.. Taft
if necessary to the carrying on. OF
Mr.. Taft's promises. II is thought,
however, that Uncle Joe, rather than
be "ground to powder" and scattered
to the four winds Of heaven, will
make complete surrender, but Mr..
Taft also wants Change of heart
on the part of the Speaker.
In addition to the tariff being re.
vised, M. Taft promised an immedi.
ate establishment OF postal savings
banks and a postal purcell deliv cry.
The first :aas incurred the ennity OF
the banks of the country and the
second has incurred too much opposi-
tion from the SIX great express COM
panies of the country that are charg-
ing four times the price that Post
| Offices would charge to carry parcels,
when the postal parcel system is in
augurated. These three items are the
principle reforms to be accomplished
by the next Congress and Mr.. Taf:
wants them accomplished thoroughly

MAY BE SECRETARY OF STATE


MAY BE SECRETARY OF STATE
1t is intimsted in the press dis
patches that it is quite probable that
President Elect Taft will tender the
portfolio of Secretary of State to Ex-
Senator John G Spooner. There is
no doubt in the minds o. those capable
of giving an unbiased opinion, that
Hon. John G. Spooner would be an
ideal Secretary of Stale. AS chairman
of the COMMITTEES Of foreign relation
in the senate he demonstrated his tact
and wisdom, and being a good cunsti-
tutlonsl lawyer his administration of
the office would be in the highest de-
gree successful And there, as a
member Of the cabinet he would be of
great value to the president. While
it would be an honor, not to be hastily
rejected, it is doubtful if Mr.. Spooner
would accept position in the cabinet,
fur political life is very distasteful
TO him and he prefers the pl actice of
his profession and the comforts and
pleasures uf his home and the home
circle. Mr.. Spooner is a great man,
which fact is recognized by the Who'll 3
country outsidefof Wisconsin.

SOME MORE FOOLISHNESS

The President has stopped over
again and demonstrated his want Of
practical sense. He has issued an
order that all fourth class postmaster
ships north of the Ohio and east of
the Mississippi river shall be placed
under the civil service rule. He ought
to know that it is exceedingly difficult
to persuade people to accept appoint
ments IS fourth class postmasters and
a mighty few of them will take
civil service examination in order to
secure an appointment. Then why dis
criminate against the fourth class
offices and in the territory covered by
his u-der? If such an order is required
to cover a part of the country, why
not all? If it would be a good thing
for portion, it ought to be good
thing FIR the whole. The order effects
Is, 600 pUstmasters, zoos being in this
state and the writer opines that ere
song, the order will be recinded. The
country is experiencing too much
focllshness, the tendency to multiply
Offices and augment taxes and one of
these days, some man will arise who
will take the country back to repub-
sican simplicity, and reduce the taxes
which have of late years become ex-
tremely burdensome.
