WAYS OF Boosting a City.

Sioux City has started out to raise
a guarantee fund of 100000 for new
enterprises. Half this sum was raised
the first two days of the canvass last
week The guarantee fund, will back
the endorsement made by the associ-
atoms attorneys-in-fact. These attor-
neys-in-fact will investigate the con-
Germ seeking credit at the bank. If
they find it worthy they will take its
note secured by mortgage and the
associations endorsement. In case of
failure the association to the extent of
its endorsement will make good any
thing due the bank which it has failed
to recover out of the concerns assets.
should this loss be $4,000, one per
cent Of the assessments asset, it will
levy an assessment of one per cent to
cover the same
This guarantee fund plan is all right
as far as it goes, but 1t is not an &C
ceptable substitute for the bonus. The
concerns wanted most are not those
which have no credit such as they can
obtain by securing the association
endorsement. The only enterprises
which need endorsements and yet may
be worthy are small concerns not yet
established.
The Dubuque plan as described by
the Times OF that city is preferable
because It admits OF the bonus and be
cause II requires the member to make
such subscription only as he is willing
to pay and fully expects 10 pay. 1t
may be true that the raising of a
fund Of 800, 900 every FIVE years could
not be continued Indefinitely, but if
the corporations make wise and salts
factory use of the first 100000 ways
and means OF continuing the policy
will be devised in due season.

Getting Together.

Cannon and Mann, who between
themselves. are supposed to represent
the whole leadership Of the republican
minority In congress do not seem to
have their cohorts in proper subjec-
ton. The democrats put through
the resolution calling for the cleo
ton OF senators by popular vote and
Mann and Cannon could only mus
ter the votes Of Is republicans against
It. These eminent standpatters will
not be able to make life such burden
70 Speaker Champ Clark as they ex-
pected to II the democrats stick to
their policy OF giving the people the
Legislation their votes have already il
dicated a desire for and going no far
Their until that program is fulfilled. 1t
looks as If It would be the repub-
lican senate on which the voters would
take their revenge next year.
The legislative schedule as thus far
indicated by the democratic leaders
certainly entities the party to the good
Will Of the people. There is a serious
intent to put away the playing Of pea
nut politics and acting for country
first.
President Taft himself has contrib
uted to this pleasing condition. He is
not root-bound party man. He has
welcomed democratic aid and advice
at all times and two men of democratic
proclivities are numbered among his
cabinet advisers. The appointments
made for purely partisan reasons are
comparatively small when measured
against conditions a generation ago.
For which much thanks and aug
mented prospect for further better
ment Of the public service.
Worse things could happen than
that the country might have a re-
publican president and a democratic
congress provided both placed patriot
ism ahead of politics.

Senatorial Courtesy.

It doesn't make any difference which
party is in the ascendency in the Unit
ed States senate. It is a hopeful sign
that there is some disposition TO 90
away with the old rule Of senatorial
courtesy" which gave to the obstruc-
tionists of a truculent minority the
right and the power to obstruct and
paralyze the work of the chamber at
any stage of the game. Some form of
cloture would be eminently preferable
to the custom which has so often been
abused This custom has existed SO
long that it has become a tradition,
but that is no reason why the new sys-
tenn may not be introduced TO the bet
terment of conditions. Moss grown
custom and tradition have done much
to bring the United States senate into
disrepute and reduce the public re-
spect for II as a law-making body.
It is a good time right now for
change that will place the body in a
position where ii can do business at
all times IN spite OF the efforts of some
clique within its own membership
which holds up legislation for its own
selfish ends.
There are now several propositions
before the senate for the amendment
OF its rules in this respect
Il is to be hoped that some good
plan will be adopted.
