ITALY TO HAVE CHARLTON
United States Decides to Surrende,
SeIf-confessed Wife Murderer
for Extradition.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The state de,
partment has decided that Italy is en-,
titled to the extradition of Porter
Charlton which was demanded on a
charge of murder and who confessed
to the murder Of his wife near Lake
Como, Italy.
1t is held by the department that
the treaty under which Italy made the
demand must be interpreted literally
until 1t shall have been abrogated
The department holds that treaties
are not reciprocal, which means that
treaty may be binding, even though
one nation has the advantage over
the other in some of it's details Sucb
treaty is undoubtedly the one now
in force between Italy and the United
States, but the department frankly
says That 1t will abide by the conven-
ton as principle Of national faith

Urban Population Grows.
Mr.. Durand expresses the opinion
that later statistics probably will show
that more than as per cent of the pop
ulation of the country is urban, that is,
in places of $500 inhabitants or more.
The population living in cities of 2b,-
900 or more inhabitants has increased
much more rapidly than that in the
rest of the country. The population
of such cities in 1910 was 2S,50S,0O7
as compared with 21,078,lS9 for the
same cities in 1900, the increase being
7,429,818 or 1852 per cent.
In the North the proportion of the
total population living in cities of
$4,000 inhabitants was 40.6 per cent.
In the South it was 1928 per cent; in
the West, the proportion was 31.5 per
cent.

practical politics; business-like meth
DDS in the daily transactions of the
government and abolition of red tape
wherever it clogs the wheels Of the
governments business are among the
recommendations in the annual report
of Franklin MacVeagh, secretary OF
the treasury. presented to congress.
Expenses of government in the fis-
cal year 1912, for which this session
of congress is asked to appropriate,
are estimated at $500, 494,O13.12. The
estimated expenditures of the Panama
canal are given as $56,92O,847.69,
making a total of $687, 414, 860.81. The
estimates represent net savings of
about $18,000,000 in the executive de-
partments, compared with the ap-
preparations for the current fiscal year.
Secretary MacVeagh expresses the
hope that the monetary question will
come into congress detached from Sec
tional or political considerations.
Calls 1t Panic-Breeder.
"Our system can fairly be called a
lpanic-breeding SYSTEM" he says,
whereas every other great national
banking and currency system is panic
preventing. AS long as we continue
under our present system we are liza
BILE to panics, and the devastations of
panics reach Republicans and Demo
Gratis, and all parts Of the country
alike. Panics are no longer necessary
and no longer respectable. 1t is for
the government to say whether we
shall have them in the future. 1t is
mere matter of choice.
I'VE have no system Of reserves;
our banking system destroys them. 1t
concentrates in New York what are
pretended to be reserves and then
forces the New York banks to lend
and abolish them. Our system, in
stead of building up a reserve, de-
stroys it as fast as it inclines to &C.
cumulate."
In connection with his criticism of
the money system, one of the secre-
tary's most important recommends
tons concerns future issues of Pan
anna bonds, of which $4,000, 900
were authorized by the tariff act The
secretary renews the recommends
lions he made last year for legislation
to tax the new bonds at III per cent.
If used by national banks for circula-
ton and intimates, as announced in
news dispatches few days ago, that
it might be preferable to issue the new
securities for investment purposes
only at rate of per cent.
Favors a Circulation Tax.
AS a check against the use Of the
bonds as the basis for further infla-
ton of the national-bank currency
Mr.. MacVeagh suggests that circula-
ton tax of even per cent. would have
the effect of making them unprofit-
able for banks to use for such a pur-
pose and at the same time would
make them attractive to investors
without injuring the per cent. bonds,
of which more than $7O0,0O0.O00 are
Another means Of &C.
complishing the same end. the secre-
kary suggests, would be for congress
to authorize an issue of $50,000,OOO
br $780, 100000 Of the bonds at 3 per
cent. without the circulation provision.
