Whether the proposed advance in railroad rates is part of the scheme to advance the market or not re- mains to be seen. says Banker Clews. Such an advance under existing con- ditions would certainly be very poor policy. The public hostility to rail roads is just beginning to abate; the extreme depression in freights will not last, and the advance would be burden upon the pro- ducer and consumer when he is least able to bear it. No doubt the rail- roads have grievance; but they must do as others are doing, cut expenses to the limit, endure a tenn porary shrinkage in profits. and await the resumption of traffic that will surely come in time. Any other policy will certainly revive public hostility and react unfavor- ably upon the railroads themselves. They had better accept their share of diversity the same as other peo- pie, and devote themselves to econ omy and keeping down expenses un- til business reviyes.

While Hartford's school board is discussing more playgrounds for chil- dren it might not be out of place to inquire what is Waterbury doing in this respect. There is a large army of children growing up in this city, good healthy, active youngsters that must have exercise and room to ex- pand. Hundreds of dollars worth of property will be saved if these boys and girls are given a place where they can exercise, instead of playing on highways and byways, back wards. and front yards, and every other place where they should not be. There are several good spots in and about the city that might be utilized for playgrounds. Let the city fathers watch out and get some of these be- fore they are all cut up into building lots.

This claim was present. ed several years ago 10 John Hay. then secretary of state. who rejected it Shortly after Secretary of State Root succeeded NIT Hay, the claim was again presented and again reiect- ed.

When Speaker Cannon shall have
 given the gavel its last thump or his desk for this session of con.
 gress, there will have been recorded
 an unprecedented public expenditure
 This Congress arrived in Washing, ton amid the shock of financial dis
 turbance in the early fall, and 1t has
 made appropriations for the first
 session of the 60th congress that
 will exceed billion of dollars. Only
 few years ago the first billion dol lar congress in the time of Speaker Reid astonished the country. Now 1t has reached the billion dollar mark in the first session of a con- gress, and there is every possibil- fly that it will have appropriated two billions of dollars before the 60th congress steps out on the 4th of March, 1909. It must be remem- bered also that this great appropri- ation comes with a nearly empty treasury, and facing deficit for the fiscal year of about s6o, o,O00.0 .000 and for the entire year ending Decem- bcr S1, s10O.000,00O. Nearly all the yearly appropriation bills have received consideration from the lower house, where under the law they must originate. Not one bill has been passed by this congress which does not show an increase above the corresponding bill of last year. This increase runs over s300.- 900 first in the Indian bill, s26,O00.- 900 the increase in the naval ap- propriation bill. The appropriations of this session exceed those of the second session of the last congress by over st0O, 900, and to this amount must be added the public building bill appropriating s2O.oO0 and urgently demanded by those having close districts where the dis tribution of the money is expected to turn the tide of votes. The dem ocrats are making use of these facts and figures in campaign documents. and are expecting political advantage from the record of the party in power.

The conference of governors of the states and territories which President Roosevelt has called to meet at the White House this week Will be an assembly unique alike in object and in constitution, says one writer. Never before have the exec utive heads of all the common Wealths of the Union met in Wash ington or elsewhere for any purpose, and never before has a conference representing every section of the country as this will. been officially called together for the purpose of ar irving at a comprehensive pro- gramme for the conservation of the national resources. Thus the con- ference will be an epoch-making event in a double sense and doubt less the proceedings of the sessions which will shortly open in the his tortc east room, will be watchsd, as siASJ siAouiu NitH lll6 hteu6SJ terest by Americans of all degrees and sections. The scene should be worth commemorating when the chief executive of the worlds great est federation faces for the first time in history the chief executives of its 46 constituent states, all met to consult together of ways of keep ing for future Americans the heri- tage of natural resources, which has lifted America to her present place of wealth and power. There will be other distinguished men present, too. among them representatives of all the important national organiza- tions of one kind and another, the welfare of which depends upon na- tional resources.
