"A keener interest is manifested

Higher totals of pig iron production

retail trade is beginning TO come to

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

The dispute over the claims of
Drs. II. p. Sights and w. ]. Bass for
extra pay for their work during the
small pox crusade, has brought to
light an unfortunate attitude toward
the city health department. Mem
bers of the general council do not
seem to take the health department
seriously. These physicians were
deputed by the department to vac
cinate people, and they gave valu-
able time to the work, actually neg
lecting their own private affairs in
the interest of the city. Other ply
sicians declined to assist in the
work. Systematically for the reason
that they would have to neglect their
business and the work was extreme
ly disagreeable.
The functions of the board OF
health are the, most vital of all TO
the city and citizens. Prevention OF
disease is the watchword of these
times, and to that end the board OF
health is directing its efforts. No
citizen will deny that his health is
more important to him than any
other material interest. Yet, here
is the especial department of the
city government. which concerns it.
self with the health of the commu-
nifty, and its orders and word are
not given any consideration at all.
We hope to attract business and
industries here and appeal to the
personal interests of those, whom We
desire to interest. If a mans first
consideration is his health, we see
how the city health department be-
comes of first Importance in the de
velopment of the city industrially
and commercially.
We must revise our attitude to-
ward the department. The city clerb
is given money to employ an assist
ant in the rush work on the tax bills
without a murmur. The city treas
urer was given money with which tC
employ an assistant on his books
this summer; but when the board o.
health orders two physicians to neg
lect their practice and devote theii
time and skill in an Unforeseen
Emergency to avert an epidemic o
small pox, we hear long-windeC
lgrowls from self-appointed watcl
dogs of the treasury, who did not 81
much as sniff the air, when othei

ance to perform their routine duties

THE TARIFF.


The tariff battle is over and con-
gress has adjourned. No wide
spread calamity has followed the
enactment. The business of the
country was not thrown into an anti
cipatory panic, and confidence never
hesitated during the debate. The
rates have been lowered-not as
much as the free traders would wish
but placed where industries OF
monopolistic tendencies cannot take
advantage of prohibitive rates to
mulct the consumer. No doubt there
are some jobs in the tariff, even the
fluor spar interests got slice of It.;
} but the Republican party once and
for all defined Protection and here
after tariffs must be revised accord
ing to that definition and that is
something. Democrats in congress
declared free trade to be bumcombe
except the free trading of their
votes for concessions in rates, and
that is something.
Between free trade and high tariff
there is a broad field of plumber in
which representatives on both sides
OF the house mingled fraternally. II
is too much to be expected that a
perfect, reasonable and strictly hon
est tariff should be secured under
existing circumstances. 1t is an i'm
provement on the Dingley bill. and
escaped the evils of the famous Will
son-Gorman bill. .f-t.
More important in the long run
that the rates, are provisions which
President Taft secured in the bill.
They were the corporation income
tax, the tariff commission and the
maximum and minimum schedules.
In considering the bill, farsighted
citizens will see a great advance in
tariff legislation in this measure.
The corporation tax provides for
federal inspection of the books of
Interstate commerce organizations,
thus throwing light into the darkest
recesses of the most powerful stock
manipulators and trusts. The bene-
ficial results of the disclosures will
go further than the few additional
millions to the federal income.
The maximum and minimum
schedules make II obligatory on the
executive department to give the
minimum rates to all countries.
