5 The Senate's investigation of the cost of living is completed, and the com naittee is laboring upon it's report. When the committee was appointed. the charge that it's purpose was to whitewash the high tariff, was made, and the quick completion of the inves- tigation tends to confirm that charge. The subject matter is entirely too large for the brief time spent upon it.

Senator Depew of New York. is a candidate for reelection, but with slight chances of success unless the New York Central comes to his aid as strongly as it did when the Wander bi1ts fully controlled the road. which is not considered probable. Gov. Hughes would make most worthy successor to Senator Depew if he could be induced to become a candidate and if the machine element in the Legis- Iature could be induced or coerced by public sentiment to his support.

Returns under the corporate income tax law are either all in the hands of the intefnal revenue officials. or those corporations which have neglected or refused to make the returnss are sub ject to heavy penalties. Now the in teresting question with the larger cor porations is the extent to which the Secretary of the Treasury will exercise his discretion in the matter of public ity of the returnS-for instance, whether he will permit one corpora tion access to the returns of it's com netitors. and refuse the same privil- ege to another; in other words, whether favoritism will be shown. It is a rather la1 ge power which is thus lodged in the head of the Treasury Department, one which is susceptible to partisan abuse The rule should be either full publicity or none at all.

Prof. Moore of the Weather Bureau argues against the hitherto accepted theory that deforestation causes both floods and droughts. His argument is based upon statistics which seem to prove his contention, and his conclu- sion is that precipitation is determined by great natural causes affecting evap oration On the Gulf and the cyc1onic currents.
 The theory thus combatted by Prof. Moore is that rain saturates and is held in the heavy leaf deposit in for ests at the headwaters of streams. which measurab1y prevents floods, and that this moisture is yielded gradually. which prevents droughts. It certainly appears to be a reasonable proposition, and we are inclined to at least partly accept it. It may also be that Prof. Moore's theory is well founded, and that deforestation is not the only cause of floods and droughts.
 The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com pany refuses to submit to arbitration the differences between itself and it's striking employees, saying ''there is nothing to arbitrate." This statement is, on it's face, untrue, for it is equiv alent to an assertion that no differ ences exist. The probable truth is that the company believes it can win it's whole case and avoid the conlpro- mise which is the usual result of arbi- traticn It seems not to have experi- enced any great difficulty in filling the strikers places. but in order to do so it must have taken on inexperienced and incomp men, the results of such action being generally unfavor- able. A further probability is that so soon as these new men gain skill they also will become dissatisfied, and the company will again have troubles On it's hands. The much better plan is to make concessions and to thus re- tain employees who are experienced and competent, even though they are union members.

Il feel confident that we shall get
statehood very soon. Why? Because
it is evident that the subterfuges used
TO put us off are exhausted. The fact
that the Republican party is pledged
to give New Mexico statehood is suf-
ticient TO enlist President Taft's sup
port for the measure

This talk of New Mexico being too
