MILLIONS FOR EQUIPMENT

The announcement by the B. & 0.
management of plans to Immediately
increase the rolling stock equipment of
the system to an extent that will involve
an expenditure of more than So, 900, 900
must certainly be taken to indicate that
the period of side tracked and idle cars
has passed. And it would also seem to
indicate that the railroad company is
not anticipating another such slackened
period as that which followed the 1907
panic.
Good business for the railroads is de-
pendent upon and always reflects activ-
ity and prosperity in other branches of
business. OF the 5000 freight cars
which are to be added to carrying out
fit of the road 1000 will be of a special
design for the handling of coke and
1000 Of another design exclusively for
the transportation of structural steel.
The prospective 5000, 600, 600 bushel
corn crop has probably suggested in adj
vance the need Of /, 900 extra box cars
that are included in the order to be
placed and the So high-spee engines of
the type that is adapted to the drawing
of the heaviest trains round out the
suggestiveness of a big increase in
business looming just ahead.
Another and more direct indication
that business is getting back to high
pressure conditions along the B. & O.
system is the fact that the gross earn
ings Of the road for June, 1909, exceed
ed those for June, 1908, by SITE, $50.
This is significant in connection with
the fact that the gross EARNINGS for
the entire period Of the year ended with
last June were less by 81, 565, 1862 than
for the previous year. The year Just
closed however, has shown notable
increase in net profits, because of the
fact that running expenses were less
by Sc, sos, 9O3 than for the previous
year.

fornia.growers spent 5000 for news
paper and auxiliary publicity. Last
year they increased the appropriation
to $4,000 This year they are spending
$50. 600. As an instance of what may
be accomplished by the application of
modern business methods in fruit raising
the effect of the advertising campaign
upon the fruit consumption of Sioux
City is cited. Sioux City consumed 80
carloads of California fruit in one year
without advertising inducement; the
next year, under the persuasion of pub
llcity, III carloads We're marketed
there. The Florida growers are now
determined to use California methods
to make the country consume more fruit
and to supply the increase from Florida
orchards.
The field of advertising is ever in
creasing, and there is nothing like it to
make two Esales grow when but one
grew before.

WHAT WILL THE PANAMA CANAL
COST US AND WHAT WILL
1T PAY US?

The important agreement Thursday
at conference at the White House to
add to the tariff bill a provision author
ling total bond issue of SAT-, OOo, 900
for the completion of the Panama
Canal marks the vast growth Of an en-
terprise the cost of which was esti-
mated by its early advocates at under
$50, 00O,O 900. The sum now called for.
approXimating nearly half a billion. is
to include the $40, 600, 600 of bonds al
ready authorized by the Spooner act.
The present increase Of bonds author
lied is is accordingly $4,000, 600.
OF this increase $4,000, 900 is to be
applied to reimbursing the Treasury
now needing cash-for the $50. 900, !
900 paid out of its working balance
some years ago 10 the French company
for its property rights and to the Re-
public Of Panama for the Canal Zone.
There will be left S267, 900, 900 Of the
new bonds, plus S44, 600, 600 Of unsold
Spooner bonds, or $3Il 900, 900 in all, to
spend in canal construction. Colonel

UP TO THE PRESIDENT.

The ipse diXit of Senator Aldrich will
not convince the country that the SEN
ale substitute for the Payne bill is
really fulfllment of Republican
campaign pledges. The Chicago plat
form promises, las interpreted in the
Taft utterances, called IN unmistakable
terms for a substantial tariff revision
downward The Payne bill, as it left
the house, impressed the country as an
honest attempt at such revisions The
action of the senate on all i'm
portant schedules has been to restore
approximately the Dingley rates, and
IN some instances even to raise them
above thelDingley mark, at theinstance
of the trust representatives. The in
fuential Republican papers of the coun-
trv, east and west, have voiced the
popular protest against this trust-con-
trolled action of the senatorial reaction
aries. The Aldrich following has stead
lily refused to give heed to this protest.
Speaker Cannon has packed the house
end of the conference committee with
view to jamming the trust program
through congress. The reactionaries
appear determined to carry their part or
smash the Republican party.
The one man in the United States
who has the power to bring the plans
of these reactonaries to nought is
President Taft. He was nominated and
elected in spite OF the vigorous opposi-
ton of these same abhorrent political
and economic forces. The people now
look to him to protect them against
tblseneW demonstration of the power of
the predatory trust. The President can
insist that the conference committee
shallspresent to the two houses tariff
measure which is substantial revis-
ion downward" in place of the senator
1al re-enactment of the Dingley law.
The attitude of the leading Republican
papers Of the country should show the
President that the masses of the party
are with him in any fight he may have
to make against the reactionaries of
the senate and the so-called interest
which they represent. The triumph of
the Aldrich idea in tariff legislation, as
contrasted with the spirit and purpose
of the Payne bill as it passed the house.
would mean Republican disaster. and
the one man who can avert such a
calamity is William Howard Taft,
President of the United States. It is
ND 70 him.

This is the second visit of this popular

Cam family, will appear in their de-
lightful specialties nightly The OPEN
ing play will be "A Romance in Ire
land, a play produced very successful
~ throughout the country by the we'll
known comedian, Andrew Mack. The
part Of Earl O'Connell gives Mr. Burke
an opportunity to appear at his best,
and during the action Of the play he
sings several Of his own songs. Mr.. J.

prominent young men, being at the
front Of the show, makes 1t a guaran-
teed attraction.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

Communities are now beginning to
realize the value of advertising. It's
merit is being discovered by combina-
tons as well as firms and individuals. as
witness the following:
Florida orange growers, according to
the Worcester Telegram, have been
suddenly awakened to the value Of ad-
vertising by an investigation of the
methods Of the California Fruit Ex-
change. While some sections Of Flori-
da have been asleep California has been
systematically widening the n arket for
