TWO CENTS MORE
 FOR REGISTRATION
THE NEW FEE GOES INTO EFF.
 FEcT TODAY
But For the Two Gents the Govern
 nent Doubles the Insurance

Washington. Oct. 31.-By order of the postmaster general. the registry fee for letters and parcels. will now be ten cents. instead of eight cents, as heretofore. The order will go into effect tomorrow. and is in accord ance with the recommendations of a committee appointed to investigate the registration service.
 The order also increases the max imum indemnity paid to the owner of a lost or rifled registered letter from s25 to $50, thus doubling the departments liability for valuable ar ticles intrusted to it's registry branch This additional insurance of s25 for two cents is granted at a much lower rate than is offered for a similar amount by any private concern.
 The changes ordered. the postmast- CT general says. constitute the first move toward making the postal ser vice self-sustaining. The registry system has been conducted at a loss and to make it pay its way radical measures are necessary.
 The committee investigating the subject has promised some new fea- lures which are now being consid- cred by the postmaster general These include the establishment oi a parcel registration system with a five cent fee and a small indemnity and a preferred class of registered matter of high value with increases in the fee and indemnity up to % cents and s160, the limits fixed by law.
 It is pointed out by the officials that the parcel measure will meet a public demand for cheap and safe means of transmitting Christmas packages and others of like character and that the graduating of the fec in accordance with the risk involved and the amount of cars necessary to insure safe transmission is ir accord with sound business principle
 It has also been suggested that the idea be carried a step further by asking congress to raise the limit of fee and indemnity. so that the department may assume full liability for all matter accepted for registra ton and may impose an adequate charge for the responsibility under taken.

WATER POWER PERMITS
 TO PRIVATE COMPANIES
The Goeernment Will Place No Ob-
 struction in Way of Private Enterprises.

Washington. Oct. 31-The practice of the government in granting water power companies concessions is out lined by Clifford Pinchot in a letter to Col. Henry T. Higginson of Boston. a director of the General Electric com pany. It takes the form of a public statement. It seeks to emphasize par ticularly that he does not wish to retard the development of water power by private capital
 It makes clear the point that the renewal of the permit at the end of fifty years is at the option of the government and that is by statute revocable by the secretary of the interior. but unless revoked. .contin- ues for fifty years when it termi- mates without special revocation. but may be redeemed at the option of and on conditions fixed by the gov ernment.

 IN MANY STATES
Three Municipal Campaigns of Over
 shadowins importance.

 Pennsylvania will elect state treasurer an auditor general and a judge of the supreme court. Nebras- ka will elect two justices of the supreme court and three university regents.
 The municipal campaigns in New York. Philadelphia and San Francisco exceed the state elections in interest The reform question is the dominant issue in all three. In Philadelphia the reform element is endeavoring to break the power of the republican or ganization.

MONDAY, MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1909

France was made on June 1. 1898. under which substantial reductions were made in the duties on French imports. principally champagnes and liquors. In return the government of France gave reciprocal advantages to certain products of the United States, principally argols. canned meats. lem- ons. oranges. and certain fruits. fresh and dried, and woods. sawed timber and paving blocks. But the spirit of the reciprocal agreement has not been observed in very many important re- spects.
 Secretary Wilson made a statement recently in the course of an official conference on the subject of reciproc- ity with France, that not pound of American meat had been admitted to France since he had been secretary of agriculture. notwithstanding the trade agreement is supposed to give favored rates to the American meat producers. The French have found an effective method of exclusion in hard sanitary measures imposed. by which the American products have been excluded.

THE DATE NOVEMBER IS.
Under Amended Interstate Commerce Law This Will Be a Convention From Which Something May Be Expected to Result.

Washington, Oct 31.-The twenty first annual convention of the nat ional Association of Railway Com missioners. which will be held in this city. beginning November Is. is likely to be the most important in the history of tine organization. In the early years of the association and prior to the passage of the Hepburn amendment. which galvanized the in- terstate commission into forceful life. and since the passage of many state laws giving state commissions greater regulating power. the national organ ization has assumed an important place in the railway life.
 The reports which it's committees make are awaited with considera ble interest by the railroad homogeneous and by legislators. both state and national This year the association has a most vital list of problems be- fore it; and its reports are being carefully prepared with the view to giving them the force and influence they should exert. Among the sub jects which are to be carefully con- sidered are the following: Powers Duties and Work of the State Rail- way Commissions" Legislation, Amendment of the Act to Regulate Commerce" Uniform Classification, % aDo,o. ,,d Do.o Ht<L;x., .r.o- e. vice and Demurrage," Railroad Taxes and Plans for the Ascertaining of the Fair Value of Railroad Property" Railway Capitalization, Railroad Statistics" "Construction and Operat- ing Expenses of Electric Railways" Safety Appliances" Delays in En- forcing Orders of Railroad commis- sions." Grade Crossings" and Tres passing on Railroads"
 The committee on grade crossings has prepared an exhaustive report, which is signed by William J. Wood, commissioner of Indiana, as chairman. The committee strongly advocates the abolition of all grade crossings in the United States and urges all the state commissions to take the matter up at once Interesting statistics are given relative to the slaughter and maiming of human beings on grade crossings. and it is declared to be the growing disgrace of the present age. The committee, however, does not ad vocate mandatory legislation, whicn shall compel the railroads to elimin- ate all their grade crossings at once. irrespective of the expense. On the other hand. it is urged that each state commission take the matter up with a view to working it out as it seems best in view of the conditions which pertain in each particular state.
 The committee does not advocate the railroads paying all the expenses, but it is believed to be equitable that the municipalities. the state and the county organizations should bear a portion of the cost.

MEXICO FOR MEnCANs
 OUT WITH FOREIGNERS
National Lines Are Rapidly Displac-
 ing Their American Employees

New York, Oct. 31.-It is declared by L. F. Mcintyre, formerly a con- ductor on the National Lines of Mex ico. that within one year American railroad men will be almost a thing of the past in Mexico. Speaking of the conditions existing in the sister republic. Mir. Mcintyre says:
 Politics is behind the movement to rid the country of foreign railway men of all classes. but what the gov ernment expects to gain in the long run is a mystery to us. There are at present six training schools :n the City of Mexico and other cities of the country, all being established for the purpose of teaching the ma tives fow to railroad. The schools are maintained by the Mexican gov ernment and the students are taught the art of telegraphing, running a locomotive and running trains as con- ductors.
 The term of school for a student is one year. and by that time the man learning by that method is ex- pected to qualify himself for any one of the three positions named. Prac- tical experience counts for naught. and the only requirement is that the student has undergone training of one year in school for the position he assumes. The dispatchers were the first to go from the country, and they will be followed by engineers and conductors The latter are being replaced by natives from day to day, and foreigners will soon be thing of the past"

 Tt is thus plain" said Captain Ak ander. that the present system,- ex- cellent as is its construction is and as admirably adapted as it was to the purpose for which it was built. cannot be made any part of a plan for giving Phoenix the present day an adequate sewer system. IL cannot be made to drain a basement of a greater depth than eight feet and ground in Phoenix has become so valuable that base ments must be counted upon and they must be given sewer facilities.
 Districts beyond the present sew CT system cannot be brought into con nection with the main sewer for the laterals are already as near the sur face as they can be brought. The only way the city could make use of the present system, disregarding the base ment matter would be to construct
 
 practically independent of the present main. That is. there would be as many systems as there would be mains
 There is only one system by which the town can be adequately severed. The city with no amount of money can go deeper than the present sewer with a gravity plan. It could go no deeper if it carried the mouth of il to the Buckeye country. The only way will be to start from the northern end of the town and lay the sewer to prop CT depth and carry it along the neces- sary grade as far as it can. The sew age will then have to be discharged from sump from which it will have to be raised by pumps to another sew CT and carried on. There should be three main sewers which would con
