Too Much Legislation.

Seven hundred bills have been
presented in the Senate and House
so far this session although the
Legislature of 1909 is but three
weeks old as far as business is con-
cerned This number is so far
ahead of all previous records up to
this time that some of the members
and officers of the two houses are
wondering when the end will be.
Practically none of the department
bills have come in yet and it is said
that some of them will take at least
a fortnight to put into shape.
Speaker Cox says that it will soon
be time to put limit OH the pre-
sentation of bills as there will be an
enormous mass OF legislation to di-
gest between now and the fifteenth
OF April. Last session the time for
presentation of bills expired about
the middle of April, leaving the
lawmakers close to four weeke in
which to do their work.
AS in lhe former session the
House leads in number of bills put
in, having 4S2 to its credit, IIS of
which were read on the first night
on which bills could be received.
The Senate has 2IS as it's total,
ninety having been put in this
week. - WashingtOn, pa. Ree0rA

been carried on. 1t appears, how
ever, that it is not too late-though
it 500 will be too late-to adopt
the sea-level canal system and this
is the phase of the question that is
at present agita:ed in the Senate
and to some extent i'll the House.
Doubtless what President elect
Taft shall have to say will have
the effect to elucidate and possibly
settle the controversy.

A furry of excitement has been
caused in high official circles by
the discovery that Senator Knox is
ineligible tor cabinet position for
the reason that he voted to increase
the pay of cabinet officers from
eight thousand to twelve thousand
dollars a year. 1t will no doubt SUR
prise Mr.. Taft when he learns that
the Office for the head of his cabi-
net which he had supposed was
fixed and settled is anything but
established and is on the contrary a
subject of serious doubt. The SEN
ate has been disposed to remedy
Mr.. Knox's .nelisibility by NOV
ing the salary of the Secretary of
State back to the original end long
established sum of eight thousand
dollars. This may or may not do.
There are constitutional lawyers i'll
the Senate, both democrats and
republicans, all of whom are
friends of the proposed Secretary
ol State, who are doing a great
leal of study and investigation and
t is possible that some means will
De evolved through which the |
Pennsylvania Senator may assume

HURSDAl FEBRUARY IS, 1909
Profigacy Rampant.

1t is not to be wandered at that
those who give attention to such
matters, are feeling more convinced
every day that an early return to the
oppressive war time taxes, when
every thing we used, from box of
matches to bedroom suit, was or
namented with a government tax
stamp, will be necessity, unless a
general change in methods, in ad-
ministration and in the purposes of
the Federal government is made
very quickly.
A steady outlay CT over two and
ID onc-half million Of dollars each
of the year,-(SI, ,ooS 900, 900
rually) is matter that should
,>e those who are taxed to raise
is amount to sit up and take no.
I e. And then when it is known
that OF this enormous sum, seventy
per cent, or almost three fourths
of the entire amount, is going to
pay for what war has done or is
going to do, and to still further EN-
large the navy and increase the ar
my thus fastening this vast expen-
diture upon us for all time, and
making excuses and reasons for
still increasing it, the necessity for
some protest from the people is the
more imperative and necessary.
And even with this two and a
half million per day of our outlay,
the government expenditures for
1908 exceeded its income over
$I43,ooo, 900; and for 1909 the es-
timated shortage is placed at SIS
900, 900 per month or total def
Cit for the year of $3.50, 600 900.
1t is for those who mus. make I'D
this enormous sum-and every
man, woman and child in the count
ry, who wears clothes, eats food or
buys any of the necessities of life,
pays his proportion of it in the
tariff taxes that are charged up
against everything he must have
that should awaken to the enormi-
ty OF the wrong that is being done

and prohigacy of those in power.
1t is but few who know that "a
single b.oadside from the I2-inch
guns of the new 26, ,ooo-ton battle
ships which Congress is expected to
authorize will cost some $40, 900.
Each time single gun is fired it
will send forth shot weighing 500
pounds, and costing $40. Each
shot requires $50 pounds of power
tul powder, which costs $500, max
