Recent Enormous Increase
In Building Operations.

Every Indication of returning pros
perity along various lines Of public
endeavor is of general and absorbing
interest And while there has been
complaint with respect to many
classes of trade that the reaction from
the panic of 1907 has been slow and,
while for this reason there has
been greater or less disappointment
throughout the country, there surely
is but little room for fault finding so
far as improvement in building activI-
ties is concerned.
Returns from ninety-five cities re-
porting to Bradstreet's show that dun
ing the month of February, 1909, $685.
800, 1924 represented the money value
OF building permits issued This i'm
mense sum exceeds the cost of build
ings projected the same month in 1908
by nearly 100 per cent, the exact fig
uTe being 96-2 per cent. And, better
still, this large increase is a cuImina-
ton of a series Of increases for three
months, that in December having been
9I.5 per cent, while January showed
gain of 81 per cent
Who may doubt, then, that the
whole country is rapidly regaining its
normal strength? For there is no
better index to a healthy economic
condition than the investment of
money in building operations. 1t may
safely be assumed, therefore, that the
Y,7ocaat y-oor will v-ituoCc n sFaady IN,
provement in every direction and that
1910 will usher in new era OF great
prosperity.

The Anti-Commission Bill
of u. S. Senator Crawford.

The bill to abolish the commission
and make the president personally re-
spOnsible for the work Of building the
Panama canal, introduced in congress
by Senator Crawford, of South Dakota,
is well worth consideration. It's pur-
pose, no doubt, is to concentrate au-
thOTity ana at the same time respOn-
sibiIity and this is usually a most ad-
mirable plan and conducive to the
public veal.
Cumbersome commissions always
present the opportunity TO their mem
bers to shift the blame when matters
coming under their control go wrong.
Each will disclaim personal response
bility and endeavOr to clear his own
skirts by fastening the fault upon one
or more of his colleagues. But when
control is given to an individual it is
easy TO fix responsibility for any mis-
carriage or wrong doing, blame viii

longs and he who is guilty OF care

may be punished as the people see fit
