It is possible That the increase in the
assessment will be sufficient to make
it possible for the finance committee
of the Council to raise money for the
operating expenses Of the city without
raising the rate of taxation for next
year. This matter has been given con-
siderable consideration by the Council
already and if it is found possible to
raise money enough there will be no
change in the levy. The books Of the
assessors will be placed in condition at
once and they will probably be turned
over to the clerk in a month.

The steel trust has very reluc- tantly agreed to reduce the price of it's products in obedience to that in- exorable law of supply and de- mand. That the cut in prices is neither wide nor deep enough to satisfy many buyers. will probably lead to the producers outside of the trust, making lower prices than those agreed upon and then the trust will have to agree to still lower prices. No change was made in the price of steel rails, which are more nearly monopolized than any other steel product. It is evident that if the steel trust had a com plete monopoly of steel products there would have been no reduction in prices, but the spirit and competi- tion not being wholly extinguished even the steel trust could not suf- ficiently control the steel industry to keep some of the independent companies from cutting prices, and, therefore, the great trust has had to yield to the inevitable. Does not this example plainly show the value of competition in keeping not only the steel trust but all the trusts from overhanging. As the general trend here is for the trusts to gather in their smaller competitors and then there would be complete mo- nopoly, unless the tariff rates are reduced or abolished so as to bring in competition from abroad. As
 it is now under the present tariff, the rates are so high that but few manufactured articles can be im- ported 10 compete with the trusts. Revising the tariff by adding max imum rates and making the pres ent rates the minimum, which is said to be the republican plan of revision, would only. maintain trust monopoly and add to present prices on products from those countries with which no reciprocity treaty ex- isted. Before you vote this fall look into both sides of this tariff issue, and then decide whether the stand pat policy, or real tariff re- form, will best suit your interests.

Ineficiency is not a local evil. It extends through the whole of Amer ican life-extends through the whole industrial life of the world, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. The Chinese coolie. who as a daily task carries 100 pounds 27 miles for 27 cents. Is industrious and hardworking, hut not more in- efficient than the American railroad which moves a freight car an aver age of g miles a day. the cars at best. averaging only half loads per mile. By a very inefficient use of his brain and muscles, the cooiie carries the maximum load a maxi mum distance for a minimum price. The American railroad by the most advanced engineering and industrial methods carries an absurdly small net load for an absurdly small dis tance at an unnecessarily high cost. Prevailing inefficiency is not a lapse from former virtue. We cannot praise ''the good old times" when everything was done better. The coolie in spite of his many virtues is not better than the railroad whose charges per ton mile average only one-thirtieth those of the cOolie. The difference is. however. that ele- mentary though his methods are. the coolie has high standards. evolved during many centuries. but in Europe and America the rail- road and the modern shop. using methods of great promise. have as yet no standards.

out a dollar, as, for example, the waterways commission, the rivers and harbors, were neglected. It must not be forgotten that the country is growing in wealth, that the population is increasing and that the various branches of ad- ministration require more money with each succeeding year. So 1t is not mere extravaganza, this s75.- 000,000 deficit. The real reason must be sought in the financial de- pression that came upon the coun- try last October and weakened con fidence. But confidence will re- turin fact, is returning and busi- ness is increasing; the decline in the duties on imports will discon- tinue with increased purchases abroad, internal taxes will improve with the coming prosperity prom ised in bumper crops.
