CRITICS.

St. Louis, May 5.-After issuing a
statement yesterday in which he de
nounced the resolutions against him
introduced in congress by Represent
ative Murphy, Judge Mcpherson, of
the United States district court last
night discussed railroad rates before
the St. Louis Traffic club and was
made the indirect subject of Mandatory
resolutions by that organization. The
clubs declaration expressed respect
for and confidence in our state and
federal courts and in the courage,
fairness and integrity of the judici.

hibited in some quarters to seek the
attainment of personal or official ends
througn criticism of the courts, rather
than by resort to the established
forms of judicial procedure.
Judge Mcpherson advocated the Gre
alton OF a central authority to regu-
late railroad rate matters. He de-
clared that neither congress nor the
state legislatures had time to consider
the problem adequately.

EXPENSES OF u. S.
TO REACH BILLION
ESTIMATES OF DISBURSEMENTS
DURING THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDING JUNE 80, 1911.
WARS, PAST AND PROSPECTIVE,
ENTAIL AN ENORMOUS
OUTLAY.

Washington, May O.--In spite of the
economy instructions issued by Presi-
dent Taft, his subordinates estimate
that more than 81 ,OO0, 900, 900 win be
required to defray the expenses of the
country during the fscal year begin.
ming July /, 1910. and ending June 80.
1911.
Each member of the cabinet has re-
ceived from the chiefs of the bureaus
of his department a statement of ap-
piications. which. in their judgment,
should be made at the next session of
congress to insure an efficient opera
ton of the government.
Inquiry establishes but few reduc.
lions from the past estimates. and
many Increases. The heads of the de-
partments now will scrutinize the fig.
ures placed before them, and cut them
down when possible When President
Taft receives the compiled statement
during the present week, it is hoped
he will find total of less than 81 .OOO-
100000. 1t certainly will not be more
than the applications for the fiscal
year beginning July 1 next which
amounted to $1,044,O14,29S. This is
in accordance with the positive in
structions of the president.
The budget committee of the cabi-
net, of which the president is chair
man, will carefully consider the esti-
mates between now and next Deem
Der. when they will be submitted to
congress.
None of the officials here have lost
sight of the fact that the United
States will spend during the next fis-
cal year $525.742,000 on account of
the past wars or in preparation for
future wars. This is just about so
per cent of the total expenditures that
will be made. OF this enormous sum
$4,000, 900 will be discussed to pay
pensions. s136,935.000 for the opera
ton of the navy, and $112,000,00O for
expenses of the army military acad-
envy and the construction of fortifica-
lions.
The fact that the foreign commerce
of the country has fallen off during
the present fiscal year should not be
taken, it is alleged, as an indication
of the financial condition of the coun-
try. Since last summer the dealers
in foreign goods have been anticipat-
ing a reduction in tariff. Conse-
quently they have been content to
drift along. making as few purchases
abroad as possible.
This accounts. without doubt, for
the loss in imports.

An urgent plea that efforts be made

League here.
IF this country Is to be known as
the land OF the free and the home Of
the brave" declared Mr.. McHarg, "it
must be made free, and the only way IL
can be made free Is to put into the
hands of men the toofs OF freedom
property. The newcomers cannot ac-
quire 1t In these congested centers. II
we are to protect the Institutions Of
this country we must see that these
men whose voices will be raised in our
forums with the voices of our children
shall raise them in praise and not In
blame Of this country and its laws"
