Rexenues and the Tariff.

There is no better barometer OF
business prosperity than the receipts
of the national treasury, and 1t Is in
teresting to note that the receipts for
Nav. 1909, were 100000 in excess
of the receipts for May 1908. and that
thew were very nearly equal to the re-
ceipts for May, 1906, the banner busi-
ness year in the history of the republic.
With this magnificent increase In the
governments revenues brought about
by the return of business prosperity
there is no question but that If the
present Dingley law were to remain IN
force we should close the next year not
only with all the current expenditures
of the government paid in full but also
with a considerable surplus remaining
in the treasury.
Today the greatest handicap upon
business growth and progress is the
tariff tinkering that is now going on at
the national capital The Journal has
never seen any very good reason FOR
such tinkerng, for certainly the
country never enjoyed a greater era
of prosperity in it's entire history than
it has enjoyed since the time that the
Dingley tariff law went into effect, and
were that law to remain upon the
statute books as it is today, we believe
that the present year, 1909. would pass
into history as one of the most pros
porous years, from a business point of
view, that the country has ever en-
joyed Poday, in spite of the uncer-
tainty that exists as to the ultimate
outcome of the tariff revision, the tide
of business is constantly rising higher
and higher, and, following the ad-
journment of Congress, it bids fair to
make a new record of growth and ex-
pansiOn. Fortunately, the revenue
needs of the country will operate to "a
considerable extent to prevent any
radical changes in the present rates.
Here and there, where the growth and
change of business has warranted it,
there will be some reductions and I'M
doubtedly there will be an effort to
promote the development of new in
dustries by the granting of protection
in lines of enterprise where it does not
now exist.
Again, it is interesting to note that
the southern section Of the country has
come very largely to the support of the
policy of protection, and leading repre-
sentatives of that section in the
national House and Senate have re-
hected the sentiments of the COM
munities they represent by standing
squarely for that principle.

The Journal sincerely hopes that
the tariff finally passed by the present

Good Roads.

A four days national conference has
recently been held in the city of Balti-
more for the purpose of stimulating in
terest in the great question of good
highways. There is unquestionably a
growing feeling among our citizens
generally that the public roads in this
country should b. as good in every
way as those Of Europe, and that, in
this important matter, we are today
very much behind most countries of
the Old World, both in our methods of
construction and Of maintaining such
public highways. Undoubtedly, the
United States is still in very great
railroad mileage for the purpose of
reaching and developing the sections of
the country rich in natural resources
which today, for lack of such commu-
nication, are unavailable for the mar.
kets
1t must not be assumed, however,
that this country has not made large
progress in the last few decades in the
extension of its railroad mileage, for
such is not the fact. 1t has today
very nearly half of the entire railroad
mileage of the world, the total mileage
of all it's railroads reaching the large
aggregate Of 2l7,341 miles, while the
total railroad mileage of combined
Europe is only 1904 miles. 1t is OBJ
vious that the next few years are like
ly to see very large amount of rail-
road extension in this country. espe-
ciaily in those communities that show a
disposition to deal in a fair and gener-
Gus spirit with the capital employed in
such enterprises. 1t is not surprising,
therefore. that with these great enter
prises still in process of development
there should be disposition on the
ton to the question of public high
ways than would otherwise be the case.
There has been a disposition. too. in
some sections, to assume that the au-
tomohiles would be the principal gain
ers from modern up-to-date roads, but
such is not the case. Such highways
will be vastly more important in the
| moving CT farming and forest products
1t has been estimated by experts that
poor roads today cost the farmers full
ly $3.50. 100000 a year in the moving OF
their crops. This is certainly an enor-
in the building up of first-class high
ways, would soon put the country up
on as good a basis as exists today in
Europe, so far as good roads are
concerned. Along with good roads will
go not merely greater facilities fol
crop moving but also a larger expan.
sion of the Rural Free Delivery service
and the development of better educa
tional facilities
The people of the country are every
where becoming more and more alive
to the Importance Of this subject ant
there is every reason to believe tina
the next 25 years will see greater de
veloprnent of the public highways o
this country than has been achieved il
all the years of the past

eraI Statesman.

\ Copenhagen, Denmark.-The cabinet
crisis is serious and the king has tried
in vain for nearly two weeks to find a
new set of ministers.
Count Frijs, member of the land
tag, and personal friend Of King
Edward, Of. England, promised to I'M
dertake the task, though he felt sure
that he could not win the assistance
of the majority in the folkething.
He has informed his majesty that
his attempt was failure.
The king then suggested that Ad-
miral Rfchelieu form cabinet, but
both, Count Frijs and Premier Neer-
gard declared that the admiral could
not obtain the support of any politi.
cal party.
When King Frederick insisted upon
Admiral Richelieu, both Frijs and
Neergaard said that they would not
be responsible for such a move and
left the palace.
The king was deeply disappointed,
but the emphatic declaration of the
count and the premier must have i'm
