What Holds the Census Bill7

The census bill is still hung up in
conference between the two houses.
The last session passed a measure
which was vetoed by President Roose-
welt because 1t exposed the census bu-
.reau to the spoilsmen instead of plac-
Ing it's employees under protection Of
the civil service law. The patronage
seeking congressman apparently have
not changed their minds since the last
session, but President Taft is proving
no more tractable than Mr.. Roosevelt.
In framing the bill congress is evidently
seeking to come as close as possible
to the line without inviting another
veto and here is where the differences
arise between the house and senate.
The preliminary work of the census
is being done by the permanently es-
tablished bureau and the work, there
fore, is not suffering so much as 1t
would, II an entirely new organization
had to be built up. 1t is important,
however, that provision for the COM
plete working force should be made
as early as possible, for much of the
preliminary work depends upon the
scope of the bill.
The taking of the census is a large
and expensive task. 1t is absolutely
essential that 1t be well done, other
wise the results would be worse than
useless. The veto of President Roose-
welt met with popular approval on ac-
count of the appreciation of this fact
and President Taft's attitude will be
commended for the same easons.
So long as congress is forced
to remain in session to con-
slider the tariff no great haste is ex-
pected toward reaching agreement on
the census bill. Ever days delay
means time for congressman to spar
for advantage, but in the end the
president will undoubtedly have his
way in essentials and the spoilsmen
will w what they can.

ence and introduced a higher standard

turn Of the comparatively small per

It Is evident that we, in this country,
scarcely realize how largely and how
quickly our immigrants absorb our

Completing the Tariff Bill.

The senate has given unmistakable
Signs OF its intention to expedite action
on the tariff bill. That body has al
ways inclined to leisurely methods of
legislation and nothing but urgent ne
cessity ever drives 1t to the %expedient
of working overtime. The debate has
already been prolonged and many
schedules remain to be acted on.
Whether these will lead to extended
debate no ma can tell, but the hold
ing Of night sessions would indicate
that the leaders anticipated that there
remains much in the way of discus
sion. Several days g Mr.. Aid
rich sought to have q day fixed for
a final vote, but the senate was not
ready to concede the point, but the
wearing effect Of concentrated effort
lie likely to put them in a different
frame Of mind, especially If the weather
should become warm.
The general public is anxious for
final action and while there is every
reason for granting sufficient time for
full discussion there will be- impa-
thence at obstruction or purposeless
oratory. The night sessions afford
ample opportunity for delivering
speeches designed for home consump-
ton and II the days can be utilized for
work there is hope that July will see
the measure signed by the president
and the business of the country in the
process of adjustment to the new tariff

Twenty years ago the White House con-
tained just one telephone standing against
the wall In the northeast corner room,
where the office ~telegrapher made his head
quarters. No one responded to It except
during office hours. TIL presidents wife
used to send out a maid to transmit a
usually through one OF the clerks,
perhaps thrice a day. No general appoint
ments we're made by II except in the rarest
emergency. Its use was not greatly diff
ferent from hat OF a fire alarm signal.
The White House occupants, either OF the
family or Of the clerical staff, had acquired
no telephone hsbit and we're virtually un-
educated TO it's possibilities. What is the
situation todayq The White House central,
Main No, g." is manned day and night.
The exchange connects with virtually every
room in the mansion, in the office building,
and in the stables; the man at it's switch
board partakes of the nature Ola private
Sc rotary. Upon him is poured a list of
appointments and he is busy making them.
II seems as II the entire town were con-
nected with the White House, and also
the larger centers Of the country. The ac-
cess OF the telephone to the old mansion
has repeated the experience OF the railroad.
1t has geared up the wheels OF business
TO a newly accelerated speed, with the re-
suit thar the pressure upon the presidents
time is unremitting.

The vault space of the Treasury depart
ment is so inadequate that IT has been
necessary for the government to do busi-
ness with a local storage company, just
like any Washington housewife who wants
to put away her rugs for the summer.
The comptroller of the currency found
himself some time since with about $500, =
ece, 600 worth of new national bank GER
t~ificates and no place to put them. While
a special vault for their reception was be-
ing constructed in the Treasury depart
ment the comptroller contracted for space
with a local trust company and stored
away the money like bales of hay Now
the treasury vault is ready and the trans
fer lie being made.
The notes are for the emergency circu-
lation provided in the Aldrioh currency
bill OF last year. Until that law was
passed every national bank note stated on
its face that it was secured by United
States bonds" In order TO loosen the re-
strictions upon the currency congress
provided that these notes might be issued
upon security of state and municipal bonds,
Now the legend on each note states that
1t is secured by United States bonds and
other securities" A reserve OF $500, 100000
Of these rules is being printed.
The new treasury vault In which the
money is being stored is Of the most mod
ern type. 1t is protected from burglary
by a dozen different devices. 1t is opened
by a time lock. The glass which covers the
works of the lock is interlaid with a
network of wires so that the breaking OF
the glass Will sound an electrical alarm.

about this?
I'm told they make whisky there so
good that they Rave to blindfold themselves
before drinking It, because II they saw 1t
II would make their mouths water, and
that would spoil the drink"
Mr.. Stanley Of Kentucky was on his feet
to reply. sir" he said, Kentucky is
justly proud Of its horses, It's whisky and
IA $3.50. n. II - "a n IN y.ar
gallon on it's whisky and pays 1t gladly;
its horses are being put out Of business as
fast as anti-racing laws will do It, and as
to it's women. why, sir, I want to say that
Kentucky will never appeal for protection
for its women so Ions as the angels in
heaven don't engage in a beauty contest
among themselves"
And. then Mr.. Cushman went right on
talking about lumber, stopping occasion
ally to pick a silver out of himself.
The spread Of prohibition has had its
effect on the internal revenue receipts.
The falling off, however, is not so great
as the treasury officials expected some
months ago and the close of the fiscal
year It is estimated will find the total
receipts within 100000 or, 5000, 900 of what
they were last year.
There was a steady year by year increase
in internal revenue receipts up to 1907,
not taking into account the abnormal rev.
enues in years when special war tax pro-
visions were in operation. High water
mark for the normal year was reached in
1907, when the revenues totaled 500, 600, 900.
Last year they dropped to S251, 900 and
this year they will drop possibly TO $685.
600, 900. Much Of the decrease last year,
1t must be remembered, was due to the
financial stringency Of 1907. Increase Of
population is the factor now that counter
acts to a large degree the effect of the ex-
tension Of prohibitory laws over a wider
area. The experts believe that when con-
dltions become thoroughly normal in the
Industrial world the natural growth Of
the country, even with the possible fur
Their spread Of prohibition, will offset the
c%urtailment of revenue derived from liquor.
1t is regarded as remarkable under all
the circumstances that this year the de-
crease from last year will be only about
s., boo. 900.
