ONE WHO BELIEVES
The Washington times., 1910-05-10
THE WASTEFULNESS OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The wastefulness Of the American
people has long been proverbiaL It not
only prevails in families where enough
is thrown away, III many instances, to
feed a family in frugal Europe, but it
exists IN regard 70 the resources Of
the country on a large scale.
This fact has been illustrated with
special forcefUlness by the recent an
nouncement that the steamship Pro
tesilaus, now loading at Seattle, VIII
include in her cargo for Hamburg
10000 bales OF scrap tin from the
Puget Sound canneries- to be used IN
Germany in the manufacture Of toys
and then shipped back here TO delight
the boys and girls OF this free and
easy, improvident country Of ours This
valuable metal heretofore has been
thrown away, and 1t must be that 1t Is
now sold at a very small figure If It
can hear the cost Of transportation 10
Europe, all the way around the Horn,
and be delivered AT a profitable margin
for manufacture.
The mest-Packing industry has re-
duced economy TO fine point, since, as
has been humorously remarked, the
packers utilize everything but the
grunt-" Other great industries may
have become so systematized that there
Is but little waste And yet these IN
stances are the exception rather than
the rule. Certainly the waste Of 2
valuable metal which has been going on
az the canneries for many years throws
an impressive light upon American
prodigal ity. ard shows that we are ike
the children Of England who
take pleasure IN breaking
What the children In Holland taks
pleasure IN making

discussion. It's periods were polished
but pointed There was no bludgeon
blow about It. Perhaps a modicum of
truth made 1t all the more irritating.
At all events, it went further thai. peri
odical OF newspaper criticism usually
goes, even in liberal England, and it Is
easonable to assume that the King felt
it. though 1t Is perhaps an exaggeration
TO say that in any appreciable degree 1t

STILL ABOVE THE BILLION
DOLLAR MARK.

Much has been heard Of economy IN
connection with the administration Of
the Government in recent months. The
Administration has been devcting a
good deal of attention 70 it. and Con
gress has professed serious intention OF
seeing to It that the appropriations
were reduced. The watchdogs Of the
Treasury have been doing rather more
than their usual amount OF barking
We have had some reason 70 hope that
the tide Of enormous appropriations
would be turned backward. For some
thing ike eight years that tide has
been rolling on with an increased flow
Of about s30O0O.00O a year, and this
session there has been some promise
Of checking It
But It Is not to be. The flow of
she1els from the pockets Of the public
into the Treasury and from the Treas
ury out again, viii 90 on undated. At
least the present outlook a. to the
total of appropriations by this session
OF Congress warrants this conclusion
The great appropriation measures
are nearly all well under way through
Congress. II Is not difficult 10 get an
approximate idea OF what they will
total In the last regular session the
total appropriations mounted I'D TO
over sI.O440O0N0O. Thus far there Is
no sign they VIII fall below that
enormous figure this session. regardless
of the talk Of cutting down exDendi-
lures In fact, the probabilities are
they viii go considerably above that
SUN.
President Taft can keep the outlay
close 10 the billion-dollar mark by
vetoing the river and harb0r bill. which
