Investigations Interest.

The interest in Washington actu-
ally seems to be sharper to-day
in the Investigations under con.
gressional supervision which are 60
ing on, than in any legislation which
is pending before the lawmakers
The Democrats say that the Republi-
cans are busy investigating them
selves. but nonpartisan fairness would
make it appear that the Democrats
are right only in part.
Here is a list of the Investigations
and inquiries, for inquiry is a better
word to apply in some cases, which
are now under way or in present pros
pect:
Relating to the official conduct Of
Richard A. Ballinger. secretary of the
interior, and Clifford Pinchot. former
United States forester.
As to the cost of living
An inquiry into the business meth
DDS of the various departments of the
government with the view of discover
ing, if possible. why it costs SO much
to run the federal machine
TENS of other countries preliminary
to the introduction of legislation es-
tablishing a sound currency system
in the United States.
An investigation with reference to
immigration.
An inquiry to determine whether
the maximum rates of the new tariff
law shall be applied to any nation.
Are Somewhat Costly.
Some of the members of congress
have said that the expenses of the
several committees and commissions
will amount to pretty close to mil
lion and a half dollars. a study of
the paragraphs setting forth the in
yestigations which are being conduct
ed will show that the Democratic
statement that the Republicans are
investigating themselves has perhaps
bearing in real truth on only the in
vestigation into the conduct of Seere-
tary of the Interior Ballinger and
former United States Forester Pin
chot.
OF course congress, which votes the
appropriations. is necessarily to be
held responsible for the increased ex,
penditures which there may be in the
departments of the government. be-
cause no branch of the service can
spend money that congress has not
authorized by appropriation. The Re
publicans being in the majority in
congress necessarily must bear the
blame if 1t shall be shown that there
has been any extravaganza in the mat
ter of hiring too many clerks or spend
ing too much money in any depart
mental way.

presidency. II is no secret. and Mr.
laft does not deny it himself. that he
ala not care to enter the campaign for
the nomination. His chief ambition
was TO have a seat on the bench Of
the supreme court of the United
States If he had not been urged to
enter the field as a candidate for the
presidency he probably would be on
the supreme bench to-day. He WELD

and became an active candidate.
RooseVelt's Probable Action.
Now, when it is considered that for
years Theodore Roosevelt leaned on
his secretary of war, Mr.. Taft. as he
leaned on no other member of his
cabinet, and it is remembered how he
constantly alluded to the great work
which his war secretary was doing.
1t can be readily understood why it is
that the colonel's friends do not think
that he will become hastily an ad-
verse critic of the man in whom for
so long time he had placed his con
fidence. 1t may be that Col. Roose-
welt is disappointed because his party
already has not carried out every
pledge that was made in the national
platform 1t may possibly be that he
is disappointed in President Taft, but
even if this is so his friends in Wash
ington say he is going to keep his
own counsel for long time yet to

School for Apple Packers.

Ken H Rice, secretary and manager
OF the National Apple Show, Inc, saws:
''The demand for experienced pack
ers in the box apple districts this fall
is the best evidence that provisions
must be made at once to supply grow
ers and shippers with competent help in
the future Calls are coming from all
over the western country and the sup

many instances it has been found nee
essary to send wholly inexperienced
workers into orchards and packing
houses With the many orchards com

ing years the problem is bound to as
sumo proportion.
