MEYER SAVES s1O,OOO,OOO
N4VAL ESTIM4TES CUT.
Plans ProEide for TUo BGttLesbi ps
and $500 More Mem.
Frm The Trfbme Bureau 7

Washington, May 22.-The Secretary of the Navy
is the first member of the Cabinet to report the
President his estimates for the fiscal year. and
he has effected saving, compared with the
appropriations for 1909 To- of 100000 without Grip
pling the existing navy interfering with the
building programme.
Secretary Meyers estimates provide for the coll
structien OF two new battIeships OF the latest
Dresdnought type and of a repair ship equipped
with all the most approved machinery for repair
work afoat. They also provide for the recruiting
of an additional force Of three thousand men and
for maintaining the feet OF sixteen battleshps in
commission
The desirabiIity Of the proposed repair ship was
made doubly manifest by the recent circumnavi-
eating cruise. The Secretary has taken up the
estimates submitted to him with the General Board
and the bureau chiefs and has obtained consent to
the decreases which he has deemed it wise and
proper 10 recommend. Some have, of course.
gTetted the curtailment urged but all agreed that
the work or their bureaus proceed without
detTiment under the diminished estimates
When the President indicated his belief that
material saving in the conduct of the army and
navy could be effected without any dimnution of
efficiency there were many who expressed in
credulity- Some jumped to the conclusion that such
saving could be effected in the navy only by
decrease in the building programme and deplored
the ''parsimonous policy of the admnistra-
ton Mr.. Meyer has shown that by the application
Of sound business principles the problems of
his department 8 material saving be effected
without any of the baneful effects feared.
There is phase Of the policy of Congress
which aroused some concern among those whom
long experience has made familiar with the ways
Of the national legislators. That is unwillineness
in Congress to accept the estimates of the depart
ment heads, and its tendency. regardless of the
fact that such estimates have already been sub
mtted 10 a pruning process which has eliminated
all superhuities. 10 strike out items estimated for
and 10 insert others which will favorably affect
the political fortunes of members. So great has
been this tendency IN the past that 1t has been
the custom of naval officers to urge the Secretary
10 ask for twice what he needed fer each division
Of his work, with the idea that Congress would cut
off half the amounts asked for and substitute a
number of unnecessary items. President Taft and
the members Of the Cabinet have decided do
their part and scale down all estimates so far as
practicable. but they will await with interest the
course of Congress.

George Curry Will
Resign When He
Gets Ready

The foregoing is the interesting
head line over an item in the Tularosa
Tribune which presents the situation
further in the following crisp manner:
Governor George Curry doesn't like
the idea of resigning right away be-
cause several republican bosses want
him to and will adhere to his original
intention of resigning after January 1.
He thinks he can arrange by March !,
1910, to give up the office in order
to take advantage of business PROPOSE
lions in Tularosa that cannot be seen
by some of the old towns knockers.
We'd prefer that he stay in Santa Fe
as governor, but if he wants to come
to Tularosa we are glad to have him
for a resident. The governor ook up
the matter -of his resignation with
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
last week.
George has done good work, even
though he tool the office when New
Mexican politics were quite bitter, and
has succeeded in having several good
works done. especially the building OF
roads, and he is now strongly in favor
of Tularosa's mail road to Roswell.
As yet no. suitable successor has
been mentioned, but there will be lots
of time for hat and President Taft
will probably do as he p~leases about
the matter anyway.

HOW STORE TERBACKER

Jimmy Billy came into our Office

he said unto us, after reading every
thing on our exchange table (Which,
by the way, holds all he southwest
exchanges that AVE the capital,
brains or desire to exchange with a
little old country wcekly'), and he
| said unto us: Il see in the papers that
our beloved president says he is a
friend to Arizona; and Secretary
Hitchcock says he is a friend to Ari-
IONA; and Secretary Ballinger says
he's n friend to Arizona. And I'm
mighty glad to know it. But their
saying this goes only this far. The
thing needed now to get statehood for
Arizona is to make the eastern money
bags see that Arizona statehood is a
good thing for them, and We have
statehood instanter. Itll be just like
it happened to a poor farmers boy
on the Cumberland Rim in Tennes-
see, when he called to spark a neigh
bor's daughter one Sunday evening.
He was met at the gate by the girl,
who said: Tn your friend. Bob, and
| always was and always will be. But

ready fr you, and mann has TIge
