TAFT LAW WILL,
STRIKE A SNAG

WASHINGTON, d. c. Dec 2S.-Sad
to relate, it semes very likely that the
Taft legislative program, with it's radi-
cal recommendations for corporation
troublesome snag before it reaches the
statute books of the nation.
The Taft program as outlined in the
presidents speeches is about as radf-
cal a proposition as the legislators of
these United States have tackled in
some time-particularly that PROPOSE
ton for amending the interstate COM
merce act to secure closer federal con-
troll of the railroads. The radical por-
tons of the presidents program viii
meet trouble where most radical prop
ositions are lost, strayed. or stolen-in
the senate
1t is whispered about Washington
just now that the reason for the omis-
sion Of so many of the Taft PROPOSE
tions from the annual message to con-
gress was the inability of the execu-
tive to line up that august body in ia =
vor of the proposed measures. Muir
murs are also heard that Mr.. Taft is
now doing his frantic best to whip the
worthy legislators into line for his pet
projects-and be it understood. is not
meeting with unqualified success. Reg
ulars and insurgents alike are coming
in for the executive admonitions ano

The first impression of those people
as farmers is thus expressed by al,
agricultural expert in his report to the
department:
How they can possibly live on their
little patches Of about one half acre
is more than 1 can understand. Yet
they do. and occasionally sell enough
fruit to buy Ii e rum and some
clothes-the 10 ler merely for the elder
members of the family. There are no
plows in Panama so far as l have been
able to see, except a few belonging to
the canal commission. The Panaman-
ians do no blowing or cultivating. but
simply put in few hills of corn, rice
and inferior vegetables with sticks,
and allow nature to do the work.
In fairness to the Panama govern
ment it is said that they are DESTROYS
of improving these conditions and
have suggested experiment gardens to
Dc ny Tie CHlteu oldtcS
an example to their people.
There are many difficulties that face
the department of agriculture in this
work The ground is extremely bumpy
and rough, no surveys exist, except in
the immediate vicinity of the canal.
and there is nothing to guide them.
Beside this, there are few trails and
these often impossible on foot and al
ways in buggy.
1t means starting in with a new
country TO clear paths, make roads,
study the soil, experiment with crops,
and last, but not least, to develop the
spirit of accomplishment in race
whose creed of existence has for CEN
turtles been hung about the word ma

In his recent message President fatt
said nothing of the employers lia3il-

The loss of life and limb from rail-
road accidents in this country has be-
come appalling. 1t is a subject of

take supervision. The law should be
made such that the payment for ac-
cidents by the employer would be au-

TODAY, SAYS WILSON?
AND NOT TOMORROW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-To make
the Central American citizen live less
in the future and more in the present
is the large, not to say strenuous,
task which Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson is attempting down at Pana-
ma
Agricultural department officials are
trying to instill little farming sense
into the Panamanians, but they are
having despairing time of it, Mama
ma is the slogan Of every true son Of
South American. 1t means "tomor-
lew" but there has never been pa
ternal Uncle Sam heretofore to take
the Monroe Doctrine under one arm
and gently indicate that the way Of
the procrastinator is bare.
Recently the department of agricul-
ture was asked to look over the rarm-
ing possibilities of Panama. The pre-
liminary report submitted by one Of
the experts sent there says that even
food-except the fruit which in that
climate cannot be kept from growing
is cared for on the "manana" system.
Uncle Sam is investing millions OF
dollars in Panama and the operation
and surveillance of the Canal will ne
cesstate a large colony there. With
the excitement of completing the dig
ging of the ditch, vitality perhaps may
be fairly we'll maintair"., on canned
food, but this is only a temporary
makeshift, not overly good for engi-
neer's digestions at that, and a very
bad basis upon which to lay the activ-
ity and health of the permanent future
caretakers of the project. Hence Sec
rotary Wilson was asked to inject q
little agricultural stimulus into the
Panamanians.

NEW YORK CITY

New York city was $14252; ana the
only other cities having a per capita

Cincinnati. Ohio, $123.S5; Boston, Mass,

s1O5.S3. OF the cities CT over 100000
estimated population San Francisco
had by far the smallest net debt, and
Detroit, with S2375 pc. capita, next to
the smallest: of the cities having q
popu alton of from 100000 to 100000
those with the smallest per capita me-
deot were: st. Joseph, Mo-, $16.46, and
Indianapolis, Ind, $17.91. OF tn cities
having from 10000 to 100000 popula-
tim. those having the smallest per
capita net debt were: Erie, Pa. Sob;
Wheeling, w. Va, $10.41: Joplin, Mo,
s1O.71, and Johnstown, Pa, $11.13.
The increase in the net debt for the
fiscal year of 1907 was $120,93O,631,
more than three fourths of which was
credited to the Is largest cities, and
more than one-half of which is credit
ed to New York city. The only city OF
less than 100000 inhabitants having
an increase of more than $1,00000O was
Seattle, Wash, whose net debt increas-
ed by S5791,07S Several cities de-
creased their net indebtedness during
the wear. the larger of them being ST
Louis. San Francisco, Washington, In
diananolis and Kansas city.
In any discussion of Indebtedness 1t
should be remembered. the bulletin
states, that the value of public I'M
provements. and especially the amounts
expended on public service enterprises,
should be taken into consideration
Many cities own their WaterWorks, and
some their light plants, and consld-
cradle proportion of the Indebtedness
of suoh cities may have been incurred
IN the purchase or construction Of such
plants.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. %
Especial II the tesman)-Although
President Tafts message has now been
thoroughly read. dgested and almost
forgotten. the country has little more
idea of what the presidents policies
are than it possessed before the mes
sage became public. This fact is fully
realized. and is being much discussed
in many quarters in Washington.
From the broad standpoint Of what
the general constructive policy-leg-
is!ative poicy-of the present admins
tration is to be. the message failed
utterly to clarity the atmosphere.
That President Taft did not state
what his policy would be, is evidenced
by the fact that the Washington cor
RESPONDENTS are still sending out dis
matches demonstrating the attitude
the president will probably take on
this rr that legislation. One CORE
sDoodeat writes, Mr.. Taft will put the
Roosevelt policies on the statute
books; another, 1T is almost certain
the Taft policy will be to forget all
about the Roosevelt policies" HAD
the president stated definitely what his
policy was to be, no room would nave
bcen left for the uncertainty regard
irg his intentions that now exists.
There are. however two important
after-effects of the message noticeable
They are:
1 The break between Insurgents
and standpatters has become more
strained than ever. The failure OF the
president to recommend progressive
legislation has apparently convinced
the insurgents that the president is so
completely in harmony with the ideas
of Aldrich and Cannon that it is use
less TO waste further time endeavor-
ing to enlist his sympathy to their
cause.
9 Friends OF Roosevelt. stunS by
Taft's failure to incorporate the real
Roosevelt policies in his message, have
taken up with new energy and deter
mination the movement to secure the
1912 presidential nomination for T. r.
