ORGANIZATION OF
SEWERAGE PUT OFF
MORE WANT TO GET IN
FORMATION OF DISTRICT De
FERRED TILL NEXT REGU-
LAR COUNCIL MEETING.

Following the publication in yester-
day afternoons Log Cabin Democrat
Of the boundaries of the proposed sew
erage Improvement district, so many
citizens whose property had beer
omitted from the district applied for
admission that the committee in
charge of the petition decided not to
present it at the special meeting of
the council set for last night. Mem
bers of the council were informed in
advance of the decision of the commit
tee and the council did not meet.
The committee will hold the petition
up until July 25, when the next reg
ular session of the council will be
held, and in the meantime if it is
found possible to enlarge the bound
aries of the district so as to provide
sewerage for those who desire to be
included, the lines will be changed ac-
cordingly.
The principal demand for admission
to the district comes from property
owners living west of Mitchell street
and in the southwest portion of the
city. 1t was at first proposed to in
clude all of this section, which would
have required the construction of an
additional sewage disposal plant, but
afterwards the committee decided te
eliminate all property which could not
be drained into one main crossing the
southern limits of the city at point
about one-quarter mile west of the
railroad right
Just what decision in the matter
will be agreed upon now is profile
matical, but members of the commit
tee state everything will be in readi
ness for the formation of the district
by July 25.

Conclusion.

Every year adds to tho might Of the Money Power.
1t has into being and to its present posi-
tion during the lifetime and under the Leadership of
man. J. p Morgan legislation has only been
aimed the elimination Of certain branches which have
been suspected Of being the root Of this Yet it
has been checked
According to the census 1900 the national wealth
of the United States $Ss 100000 In the 1910
census in the course a decade, this shown to
have increased to 100000 According to these
figures the national wealth Of the country is increasing
at the Of 21eo In years. During the time
has been estimated that the proportion OF the national
wealth controlled by the Money Power increased at
least 1907. Today the most conservative estimates
place the amount Of national wealth controlled by the
Money Power at about SIS. 900 100000. Some tho
figures high $40 600 100000 Accepting $15.0oo
900 O00 however nearly the correct figure and
applying proposition this doubled by
$780, when the next is TAKEN the Money Power
will then 10000 900 900 of total estimated
national wealth Of about 900 ooo In another
decade the national wealth will have reached
$56 900 and the amount controlled by the Money
Power will be $4,000, 100000.
During the next decade the estimated national
wealth will reach $1s9 900 900 900 and Of this
$40 900 900 will be under the sway OF the money
power At the end of the next ten the estimated
national will total 1927 900 900 900 and that pro-
portion controlled by the Money Power would be

Government and Efficiency.

The application Of the equal price law will necessi
tate a government that efficiently combine the
duties OF public ownership and regulation Through
such things the postal service rivers and harbors
permanent improvements and government insurance
the principle Of government ownership will have be
maintained. Through its power to regulate currency
and banking and the capitalization Of all corporate
terprises. to control railroad development
OF natural resources we'll prevent any illegal
combinations in restraint OF efficiency competition
either by capital labor-to that apply only
under special privilege competition and monopoly
government will have to develop the power to regu
late with the greatest degree OF efficiency.
In order to promote efficiency management in
ufacturing we'll in all dstribuve industry three
new government bureaus ought to be established
These are = bureau Of manufacturing bureau of dis
trbution and . bureau Of efficiency. They would cor
respond to the bureau Of agriculture which is the staff
organization to the farmersthe line-in agricultural
industry The present department Of commerce and la
Dor should be divided. Commerce should come under
the bureau Of distribution and labor should be partly OF
the bureau Of manufacturing and partly the bureau
OF agriculture
In order to insure efficiency the part of the
various government bureaus and their departments a
bureau OF efficiency should be established. This
would be the staff OF the government line organization
the bureaus A department Of this bureau should be
devoted to staff encouraging efficient methods
in state and city governments Under an inefficient
government the tendency Is for the number employees
to increase. minimum Of government employes-whch
