point of the taxpayers who pay the

The Government of the United States
is growing Institution It is taking
on new activities every year. 1t IS
possible to keep its expenditures from
growing as RAPIDLY as they haze grown
in the past, but there is no prospect
that Congress viii get below the bill
iOn-dollar mark in its appropriations
at each session. Should this be effect
ed in one session, it would be by so
damming up appropriations that there
would be an overflow the next session.
It is self-evident the Government
should be run with all due economy.
Efforts to economic, if intelligent, are
to be commended, not the cutting down
of the pay of $500 clerk, but effective
reforms in methods that work out in
savings Economy should be non
partisan But what the country Is
more interested in than economy Of
government Is effectiveness OF gov

BRYAN'S POWER SEEN

His Phase of the Baltimore Conference Is Subject of Dis

Are Afraid to Fight Him.

No end Of talk has been stirred Up IN
political quarters by the preliminary
meeting in Baltimore the ot5ler day for
the purpose Of arranging o Democratic
harmony conference.
The especial phase that is stirring poll
ucians TO talk and ponder IS the decision
to invite William Jennings Bryan
This has happened just at a time
when there has been much talk about
Bryan being dead. politically, although

Mr. Bryan came out n the Commone-,

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
FOR DISTRICT.

Those interests of Washington that
are anxious that a public utilities com
mission be established for the District
need rot waste their energies in a con
troyarsy over how the institution shall
be created.
The paramount issue is not whether
the commission shall be an independent
body or a department -Inder the DIS
trict Commissioners; the big question
Is whether or not Congress can be
induced TO revise and strengthen the
Districts public service corporation
laws TO such an extent that the ad-
ministrators OF these laws shall have
power to control and regulate the
corporations effectively.
The establishment of a public utfli-
ties commission or the creation OF such
a commission as a department OF the
District Government would bring but
little relief without thorough over
hauling and Strengthening of the exist
ing laws covering the operation OF
public utility companies. II the laws
are harmonized and made more
specific and rigid, and if authority to
enforce them Is centralized. It will
make little difference whether the au-
thOTity is put in the hands OF an in
dependent board or of the District
Commissioners
Excellent argument can be put forth
in favor of an independent commission.
but excellent argument can also he
put forth in favor of giving the au-
thOTity 70 the Commissioners. Presi-
dent Taft is understood to favor the
plan whereby the Commissioners viii

commission; the Commissioners them

parent that the plan which they favor
Is launched under the most favorable
conditions.
in view of the fact that both plans
are good, and that either must depend
for its success on the Capitalization of
increased authority and the revision OF
the statutes, the people of Washing
ton can do no better than get in behind

them get from Congress the legislation

HILL PESSIMISM NOT TO BE
TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY.

James J Hill, who has a habit OF
coming out with period, pronounce
ments about the state Of the nation.
and whose utterances arc viewed with
profound gravity by many good people,
has just given an interview in which
he forecasts hard times We are al
most on the rocks, according 10 Mr..
Hill The ship is Just of the reefs and
is about due to strike with disastrous
results Great numbers of men will be
thrown out of work next year,
much greater number than usual. and
there will be a time of depression and
stagnation-
Mr. Hill was IN Washington last
week, and Is said to have given Presi-
dent Taft, with whom he talked in this
vein, shock. 1t appears he told his
fears to the President, but for pubIi-
cation he withheld them until he re-
turned to ST. Paul He lays much Of
the blame for the oncoming hard
times ne talks about TO extravaganza.
He says it isn't because they haven't
the money that business interests are
not going ahead taking and giving or
ders, but there is a suspension Of
activity.
With ali due respect to Mr.. Hill.
Il Is quite possible he Is in error, Just
, as other human beings are prone to be
mistaken His pessimism should not
be taken too seriously. It Is easy for
anyone who is hunting for signs OF
storm to pick them out of almost anv
kind Of a sky. As a matter of fact.
business conditions are fairly bright.
The country has produced an enormous
@oP. The railroads have an enormous
haulage ahead OF them, and consequent
heavy returns from freight in sight.
The farmers OF the country are get
ting high prices and are so prosperous
they are loading Up the banks
in every small toTen in the agricuI-
tural regions with money There is
plainly of work Tor the man who goes
IN quest Of 1t.
It is true tl,at iron and steel orders
are comparatively light, and one can
look over the business and industrial
field and find various points at which
he could wish there were improvement.
But there Is little reason fo- an undue
measure of gloom Mr. Hill should
cheer up and look on the bright side OF
things
It Is just possible that when Mr..
Hill talked he was speaking for the
benefit of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which is now considering
whether TO allow the railroads to IN
crease their freight rates, and that
what Mr.. Hill really is getting at is
that If the Commission viii allow the
roads to shove their rates upward
orders for iron and steel viii be given
with a rush and there VIII be a sudden

THE DEMOCRATIC ANXIETY
FOR PARTY HARMONY.

National Chairman Norman f Mack,
Representative Champ Clark, Senators
Rayner and Smith, Governor Crothers
of Maryland, and various prominent
Maryland Democrats, after a prelimi-
nary conference, have decided on
great Democratic celebration at Balti-
more on Jackson Day 1t Is the avowed
intention TO make it a great harmony
gathering. The talk of all the men
who participated in the preliminary
meeting was that there should be har-
mony, to the end that the Democrats
might strengthen themselves and not
merely hold the ground they have
gained in Congress and gain more, but
capture the Presidency in 1912
If the gentlemen who participated
in the preliminary meeting have any
snub to administer to William J.
Bryan or his following, they were care
ful to conceal any open purpose OF
I'M kind What they are talking
about now is that all the varying
species of Democrats shall cooperate.
Apparently, there is a strong dispO-
sition to 90 slow about settling on
any policies which might ALLEVIATE any
Democratic element.
Now, it cannot be disputed that If
the Democratic leaders can lead the
party along the road of harmony, then
the Democratic party Is going to be in
a most formidable position IN 1912,
and it is more than an even chance it
viii capture the Presidency II 1912
sees a harmonious and united Demoe-
racy arrayed against a divided, war
ring Republican party, victory Is ex-
tremely likely to rest with the Demo
Gratis.
But there are difficulties in the way
OF Democratic harmony. They are
great difficulties They cannot be com
posed by any gathering Of leading
Democrats in a Jackson Day celebra-
ton. What the country wants IS not
so much harmony IN the Democratic
party, or IN any other party, as the
achievement in legislation and admin
istration OF policies OF real progress
From the standpoint of Democratic
party strategy, 1t Is doubtless well TO
talk of harmony But sooner or later,
policies must be settled, things must
be done. When that time comes, are
the progressive Democrats going to
have their way OF are the reactionary
Democrats going to have theirs2 Are
the reactiOnary Democrats going to.

cratic candidate for President in 1912
IF the Democratic leaders who are 50
anxious to capture control of the
country in 1912 would be talking less
about harmony and more about a
program of real progress in Congress
they would be accomplishing more and
would be coming much nearer to con
vincing the voters that the Democrats
ought to have full sway in Congress
and IN the White House.
