An Era of Extravaganza. If the people of this
try realized the increase in public expenditures
in late years there would be such outcry against this
extravaganza that it would shake political centers The
Wall Street journal recently showed that the municipal
debt in the twelve largest cities in the United States had
increased from 444 96 67 in 1899 to 600 1903 in
1909. The largest increases in Boston and New
York The debt of the latter has grown in the past de-
cade three times faster propOrtonaey than that of any
other city We have recently referred to the fact that
before the American in 189697 the expenses
of the United States government amounted to only $685.
000O00 while during the past year they almost dou
bic that figure.
What justification is there for this increase
in public expenditures? Are prosperous that we
do not regard this increasing burden of taxation? It
would So for in many of cities the experiment
Of conducting public utilities at great expense is still
being considered States eXpendng money in every
direction and the Federal government is putting its army
and navy almost footing and formulating pro-
digious plans for public improvements of them of
doubtful utility. The next great political issue is bound
to be based on demand for rerenchment and economy
in public expenditures .-Leslies

there is something rotten in Denmark and especially
along the line laid down by Pnchot and that
later Secretary Ballnger will retire from the Taft cab
met account of it. Already the Chicago Tribune,
which is of the most reliable publications in the Mid
die West has editoraly declared the resignation of Sec
retary Richard A. Ballnger but question of time
In its opinion his resignation would be for the best po
ca interest of President Taft because the people have
lost confidence in Balnger and whether guilty nno-
cent from political standpoint it will be great deal
better for Taft to have him quit

3D. day OF March and consequently the
congressional term ended at midnight
Of that day instead OF at noon on the
4th, as unbroken usage had fixed It.
So on the last morning he sat with his
hat on, talked loudly, loafed about the
floor and finally refused TO vote or
answer to his name when the roll
was called. At last the speaker, the
Hon, James l.. Orr Of South Carolina,
picked him up and put an end to these
legislative larks.

the venerable Missourian. "I will not
