GOOD PROGRESS AT PANAMA,

1t is already evident that when
President Taft reports to congress on
the progress of the Panama canal
his message will be gratifyingly en-
cOuraging.
Ninety members of the American in
stitute of mining engineers reached
New York the other day, after a
thorough inspection of the canal, and
they united in statement that 1.-THE
plan of the canal is good, that the
work is in thoroughly capable hands
and that it viii be completed by the
date set, January l, 1915, and prob
ably earlier, provided Col. Goethals
and his associates receive the hearty
support of the American people and
their representatives in congress"
There need be no doubt on that
questionable people of the United
States will continue to support heart
lily the whole canal project.
Dispatches from Parma quote Col
Cocktails as having assured Mr.. Taft
that the canal will not only be COM
pleted in 1915, but that the cost will
be kept within the estimate of 375
million dollars. Indeed, Col. Goethals
went so far as to predict that tn
great waterway viii be ready for the
experimental passage of ships yeal
earlier than the date estimated, but
il is his contention that before the
canal is opened to the commerce OF
the world a year should be devoted
to testing purposes. The one uncer-
tain feature of the work is the gigan-
tic Culebra cut, and it is understood
that Col Cocktails will recommend
the construction of retaining walls in
the cut because of apprehension that
there may be further slides of earth
similar to those which have already
ACQUIRED.
In any event, however, the con.
struction of the canal seems to have
safely progressed beyond all doubt
full points. and the public can here
after ignore all predictions of failure
or indefinite delay. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the engineers of Uncle

MORE INCONSISTENCY.

The surprising strength mustered
on the democratic side in the con-
stiutional convention yesterday in
support of the proposition to make
county assessors appointive instead
of elective is likely TO puzzle people
who are unfamiliar with the inconsis-
tencies of politicians.
If il be true, as we have heard so
often. that all public officers ought
10 be subject to the recall" it is
certainly illogical for our democratic
friends to insist that an exception
should be made of a county assessor.
And THE recall cannot well be ap-
piled to an officer unless he is an
elected functionary.
The advocates of the proposal to
make assessors appointive argued in
substance that the people cannot be
trusted to elect the right kind of an
assessor-that the great latitude of
power vested in an assessor would
enable him to bestow financial favors
upon the persons most responsible for
his nomination and election, and that
the people are not to be tursted to
act wisely and unselfishly in electing
an officer empowered to grant indi-
vidual benefits in return for his cleo
ton.
Ii xrin of
prejudiced citizen that this sort of
an argument would apply with equal
force TO almost any other public Of
fice-fOr example, to the judiciary,
10 sheriffs, and so on.
The politicians at present controll-
ing the democratic band wagon have
been telling US for months and in
the same breath that the people" are
always infallible, never make mistakes,
and therefore that all the traditional
checks and balances of government
designed by the fathers of the re-
public ought to be swept away-and
that the same infallible populace ought
TO have the unrestricted power of
the recall with which to correct its
mistakes And now a considerable
section of the machine insists that
the people cannot be trusted, after
all. and that an officer who comes in
To intimate contact with voters in

To be subject even to an electiOn-nOt
TO speak of the recall"
But why mention consistency when
discussing democratic politicians?

At a meeting of the trustees of
special road district No. 1, this aft
ernoon. it is hoped that the Central
avenue boulevard muddle may be set
of the boulevard from the southern
end appear to have the better of
the argument for several reasons
In the first place there is the
principle of the rule of the ma
jority, and it is admitted that so per
cent of those who will have to pay
for it desire the beginning of the con-
struction at the south rather than
in the sparsely settled district of the
north Ii is also admitted that this
80 per cent of the number of contribu-
tors represents 76 per cent of all the
property to be taxed for the payment
of construction. 1t is also certain
that there is not money enough To
complete the road and that the de-
ficiency will have to be supplied by
subscription. Probably the govern
ment Will contribute $4,000 on account
of the Indian school, but the balance
will have to be contributed by the
merchants and citizens of Phoenix
proverbially liberal in such emergen-
cies. They will certainly be more in
clined to liberality if they can see a
sample of the boulevard. such as they
are not likely to see if the sample is
placed on exhibition six miles out
