"On the whole, the opinion in
these cases should, it would seem,
inspire optimism rather than
pessimism about the future of rail-
way regulation and railway de-
velopment. They have been inter-
preted in some quarters to Indicate
that the commission is pretty sure
not to allow reasonable advances in
freight rates in other parts of the
country. This is not fair view.
While most of the rates to the East
on the products of the Pacific coast
and Western interwountain country
are low, the rates THEth westbound
and eastbound into the intermount-
ain territory have been relatively
high-some of them exceedingly so.
The commission might, therefore,
without Inconsistency, order reduc-
lions in these rates, and at the
same time permit advances in much
lower rates of the carriers farther
east"

TRAFFIC DECISION
BENEFITS NEVADA

no AhNASoIiNS VI W1dI has Deen
accomplished by the efforts of the
Nevada State Railroad Commission
in their advocacy of a reduction
of freight rates for Nevada, before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the Railroad Age Gazette has
the following to say:
The proposed reductions in class
rates from Chicago and the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri rivers to
Spokane, Utah common points and
other places similarly situated ,are
from 8 to 20 per cent, rand even
greater cuts in commodity rates to
intermountain points are proposed.
Reductions of 20 per cents are also
proposedin the socalled 'distributive'
rates eastward from Seattle, San
Francisco and other Pacific coast
points. For some of the foregoing
re auctions no date is fixed and no
OrQer is now made.
1.-The roads are required to
furnish an accurate account for
the months of July, August and
September, or for such representa-
tive months as may be determined
on by the commission after con-
ferences with them, showing the
differences between the earnings in
tarftic actually moved under present
rates and what the earnings would
have been had the prop osed rates
been in effect.
when the commission has this
data it will make its final orders.
By far the most drastic reduction
proposed--and tkese reductions are
ordered to be made effective on Oc-
tober 1-are those in the rates of
the Southern Pacific from Sacra-
mento, Cal, to Reno, Nevada,
which are cut approximately'33 1-3
per cent, and in the East to Nevada,
which are cut so per cent. The
latter reductions also will be felt
mainly by the Southern Pacific.
"The commission found that the
rates from Sacramento to Reno are
the highest in the United States,
and that the rates from the East to
Nevada are the highest for long
hauls in the United States.
mo one is surprised that the
commission decided on substantial
reductions in the rates to the west
ern intermountain territory, and
particularly in those from both the
East and the West to Nevada. All
these rates were made when both
transportation and Industrial con-
ditions in the section affected were
widely different from wkat they
are now. In consequence of there
changes of conditions many of the
rates had become plainly too high.
1.-THE only question was as to
how great reductions would be
required. Whether those ordered
and those the commission has ir-
dictated it probably will order are
too drastic-and they are drastic,
indeed-can be best determined by
the three months record which the
commission directs to be kept.
Even if the reductions finall y
ordered are substantially less than
those now proposed, the earnings
of the railway are sure to be mater
ialy curailed. But this curtaiment of
earning is apt to be temporary.
For irrigation, the growth of min
ing development and influx of
population are causing a rapid in
crease in traffic in the West which
will in comparatively few years

subject to material reductions. 1t in
cIudes the fund assigned for use in re.
deemng national bank notes, which Is
replenished by the banks; the sinking
fund allotment, which is not payable un-
less the Treasury has a surplus; post.
office expenses, which are met almost
entirely out Of postal receipts, and other
appropriations which are not charge
or. the ordinary revenues. The real cost
of the government to be met by taxation
is less than S7OOOOO,O0O, and the or1i-
nary income Of the Treasury for 1901
from ordinary sources promises to cover
all expenditures authorized and to leave
moderate surplus.
Until detailed figures are available no
satisfactory comparisons can be made
between this sessions outlay and that
of the year preceding, but it is evident
that the dangerously rapid expansion of
the governments expenditures has been
checked. On the twelve regular apprO-
priation bills Congress made COM
mendable saving, and a precedent Of
thrift and forethought has been set
which will result In further curtailments.
The Tribune never expected that re-
markable reduction in expenditure would
be achieved at the session just ended
but a creditable beginning has been
nade, and perhaps before the present
administration ends there may be re-
duction in the annual budget Of from
fifty TO hundred millions.

the House. This year. in spite Of many
professions of a desire to economic, the
Senate raised the appropriations carried
in the House measure from about $40
100000 to something over S50.0O0,O0O
and inserted in 1T a number of projects
of dubious expediency.
There were some gre inds for veto,
and President Taft might have increased
his popularity by killing the bill. But
worthy projects would have been re
tarded by the failure of this years law,
and as the good in the measure out
weighed the bad the President decided to
approve it. His memorandum is fair
warning. however. that the old guild pro
QUO system must be abandoned. Improve
ments must be authorized only when the
prospect of an adequate return to the ma
ton justifies them. Spending the govern
ment's money simply for the good it may
do in a given locality must cease. The

the last Of its kind.

IN THE RIGRT DETECTION.

Estimates of the expenditure author
lied at the session of Congress just
ended differ widely and must confuse
persons who do not understand that
they are reached by different methods
of calculation. The leaders Of the ma
jority and the minority on the House
and Senate committees on Appropria-
tions, although using the same general
figures, have ways of combining them so
as TO produce startlingly different re-
suits. Thus. Chairman Tawney Of the
House Committee on Appropriation
shows in his statement Of Monday that
the expenditures for 1910-'11 will be less
by S2S.000, 600 than were those for 1909
10, while Mr.. Livingston, the ranking
minority member, demonstrates to his
own satisfaction that the expenditures
for 1904 will exceed those for 1909
10 by more than S15,000O00
Critics representing the minority are
too often tempted TO juggle with figures
in order TO sustain a charge of estrava-
gance against the party in power. Thus,
il is customary for the minority's
spokesmen TO include among the ex-
penditures Of a session mere authorize
tons not involving any immediate out
lay. The party in power is represented
as spending money when it Is merely
promising 10 spend money Congress
passed this year the public buildings bill
carrying authorizations for SIS, 600, 900.
But not q cent Of this is TO be paid out
by the Treasury until further legislation
has been had. Mr Livingston charges
his session of Congress with an outlay
Of S3S,O00,000 for public buildings.
When that money is firIlly provided in
measures passing at later sessions he
will cheerfully charge it up all over
again Money voted should properly be
counted as an expenditure In the year In
which it is spent. Otherwise the record
Is falsided by Implications
1t seems TO be agreed that the appro-
priations actually made at the session
just ended amounted to S1,O27, 1873. .446.
For the preceding year the total was
S1,0o5. .G63,267. Taking these totals at
their face value, there has been an Oh
yious reduction in appropriations of
more than S2S,0000O0. That is the one
fact which stands out amid all the CON
fusion of claims and counter-cIaims
made at Washington. OF course the
total Of 81 ,o27, ,133, ,446 does not represent
the actual cost 10 the taxpayer of the
operations OF government in the next
nsGal year. It Ia q bookkeeping figure,

Washington. June 2s-The President spent
his last day in Washington for several
months in bidding goodby to Senators.
Representatives and many other callers.
The last Cabinet meeting this morning was
devoted almost entirely to exchange of
wishes for a pleasant summer.
Ex-Governor Guild of Massachusetts, has
been selected by Mr.. Taft as a special am
bassador of the United States to the CEN
tennial celebration of the Republic of Mex
leo, which IS to be held In Mexico City
next September. The names OF ex-Gov-
ernor Franklin Murphy of New Jersey and
Colonel C. A. Rook have been added to the
list of civil members OF the commission to
represent the United States at the celebra-
ton.
A long list Of candidates has been recon-
mended to President Taft for appointment
to the Peace Commission authorized at the
last session Of Congress. The commission
will be composed of five members and it
is not improbable that ex-President Roose-
welt will be selected as chairman. Repre-
sentative Bartholdt, who has always taken
deep interest In the reduction Of arma-
ments and the promotion OF worldwide
peace, is prominently mentioned for mem
bership on the commission. Mr.. Taft will
announce these appointments at Beverly.
Senators Carter. Jones, Snoot and Dixon
talked with the President about the COM
mission he will appoint to report on the
reclamation projects which are to share in
the proceeds of the $40 900, 900 bond issue.
President Taft, accompanied by Secretary
Norton, Assistant Secretary Forster, Cap
tain Butt, a staff Of stenographers from the
executive offices and a number of news
paper correspondents, left Washington at
5:35 this afternoon for Beverly, Mass.
The President. it is understood, will ap-
point a negro as collector of customs at
the port Of Georgetown, D. c., IN place OF
Sidney Bieber. of Washington, whose norni-
nation was not confirmed by the Senate.
