Justification for an Extra Session

In his message submitting to Congress
for approval the agreement for a recip-
rocal tariff with Canada. President Taft
says that I'VE have reached the stage in
our own development that calls for a
statesmanlike and broad view of our
future economic status and its require
ments.' This sounds like al echo of
the dying words of Mckinley. who made
the same discovery ten years ago.
We hope that the draft of this recip-
rocal agreement will soon become an
actual agreement between the govern
ments of the two countries. 1t is not
treaty to be ratified by two-thirds
vote of the Senate. but an agreement, to
which effect would be given by legis-
lative act adopted by majority vote OF
each House If this result cannot be Sc
cured from the present Congress. the
failure would Justify the calling of an
extra session in March.

Postal Fraud Orders.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Post-office fraud orders reached 131
in the year ending last June.
Each of these orders cut off from the
mails some Swindling concerns and
saved the guIlible. the easy, the ignor-
ant. and the unsuspiciOus from being
swindled by lying circulars.
1t is twenty years since the act OF
1890 began this good work in its pres
ent form. and its value was increased
by more stringent act. passed in 1885
Up 10 1901 these orders ran from sixty
up to 100 year. In 1902 the Post-office
began a more vigorous campaign, and
the Assistant Attorney General for the
Post-office, who passes on these orders
cutting off the use of the mails ap.
proved 247.
This was a very large number. The
fraudulent use of the mails always in
crease in boom times. when the air is
full of rumor and echo of large for
tunes and large profits easily made The
number of swindles shut out last year
131. is fair average.
The special officers or detectives Of
the Post-office Department were once
almost wholly occupied with thefts anG
defalcations inside the post-office These
have been very greatly reduced. The
special officers give their time now &c
frauds outside Of the post-offices once
left untouched

The Tribute to Mr.. Gardner.

The citizens of Washington are to be
felicitated upon the interest and enthu-
siasm which they are cvincing in the
proposed dinner to Representative Wash
ington Gardner. the chairman of the
subcommittee in charge of the District
appropriation bill Owing to viciSsi
tudes of politics, Mr.. Gardner is to re-
tire on the 4th of March, and this fact
offers opportunity to pay him tribute
which is thoroughly deserved. He has
been a painstaking. just. and constant
friend Of the District of Columbia. sac
rihcins his personal comfort and time
in the effort to acqualnt himself by per
sonal observation with the multtudlnouS
details of municipal work He has been
patient and attentive in prosecuting his
laborious task. and by his intimate
knowledge of District affairs has been
able to answer inteligently and accu-
ratelv the queries propounded to him
while the District bill was under consid
Grafton in the House.
The labor thus consciertiouslv and
faithfully performed deserves recog-
milton 1t must be source of satlsfac-
ton to him. of course. to know that the
setting OF his political sun carries with
it no diminution OF the Districts regard.
The dinner will be an appreciation of
service admirably rendered. and not
bid for future favor 1t will be a rep
resentative affair. because Mr.. Gardner
has dealt fairly with all interests. cor
porate or private. and has sought al
ways only the advancement Of the Dis
trict. with due regard TO his position as
a trustee OF the Federal government.
Above all. the event will demonstrate
that the people of the District are not
unsrateful. and that they are quick to
recognize the value of duty faithfully
performed

Purge the Pension Roll.

The country can afford to be gener-
Gus to the men who braved death and
privation when both valor and self-sac-
ritice were sadly needed 1t will not
even begrudge the additional S45oooooc
which the House has added to the pen
sion appropriation bill. provided that i,
can be assured that every penny of the
amount goes to deserving veterans.
The trouble is. however. that this as
surance is not sufficiently emphatic The
disclosures which are being made as to
the laxity with which pensions are
granted and the reproduction OF forged
and false affidavlts have the effect OF
awakening doubt in the public mind
as to the deserving character of the en-
tire list whether this latest pension
bill shall or shall not become a law.
says the Chicago Tribune, there should
be publication of the pension rolls

have been swindling the government,

where the Consumer Laughs.

From the Ohio State Jmlfnai
1t is with an unconcealed chuckle that
the consumer notes the wild scramble of
the cold storage concerns to dump their
stocks into the market.
This expression is in realization Of the
fact that the men who have been storing
food stuffs for months that they might
secure higher prices are compelled to let
go. in many instances at prices actually
below those originally paid.
The cause of this slump is variously ex-
planned. One Is that the weather con-
ditions have made it impossible to main
tain prices while another and more rea-
sonable explanation is that many Of the
cold storage concerns found it necessary
! to realize on their stocks. They are heavy
borrowers and in order to meet their OBJ
! legations they have been compelled to
open their refrigerators with conse-
quent tumbling of prices.
To be sure the consumer has not as yet
experienced any great relief and whether
he does or not it is his delight to know
that the chief contributing cause of high
prices Is in distress.

Trust Laws in Germany.

According to Consul General A. NJ.
Thackara. at Berlin. there is no country
in which there has been a greater de-
velopment OF trade combinations. of
than in Germany They are lesalized
and are defined as a combination for
the purpose of maintaining the COMPETE
tive power of It's members. notwithstand-
ing their varying individual facilities,
against advantages enjoyed by mo-
nopolists" They arc divided into three
classes:
Obtaining a uniform maximum selling
price for products
Creating and maintaining a normal
and rational demand for labor and ma
tcrals
Creating monopoly for every mem
her. or for every group Of members. in
each branch OF production.
Trade syndicates are organized for
one two. or even all three of these pur-
poses Each one may be divided into
three general groups. as follows:
The selling agreement. so As not to
sell the products under a specified mini
mum price. but changed from time to
time according 10 the varying cost of
production.
Sale svndiGaieS. in which all members
pool their products. to be sold through
central committee.
Real trusts. or closely organized SYM
dicateS. which absorb and take up the
shares of the original corporations, issue
new stock. and consolidate the whole
management under the absolute control
of a central authority.
All of these various forms of syndi-
Gates are organized under the very COM
prchensive and far-reachine German
general laws. There is no particular
requirement that syndicate shall OBJ
tain a charter from the imperial or any
of the state governments. or file in any
government office copy OF the contract
which forms the basis of such asSocia-
tons. other than the copy required I'M

ROEues' Gallery on Liners.

From the Columbia State.
For years the steamship companies,
acting in cooperation with the American.
British, and continental police. have
striven unsuccessfully to protect their
cabin passengers from well-dressed card
sharks. At last they have hit on plan
from which they hope much. They be-
lieve that if widely carried into effect
it will put an end to the profits of pro-
fessional gamblers. Below the customary
warning to passengers there are posted
in the smoking room of the Lusitania on
her present trip a row OF portraits OF
well-known sharpers who travel back and
forth with great regularity. The ships
officers thought the men would find part.
ners rather scarce on this trip.

What Our Banking System Lacks.

A little more than three years ago
banks i'll different parts OF this country
were engaged in vital struggle to OBJ
tain each others cash. There was a
cessation of exchange between cities,
yet Our banking reserves remained rigid
and lmmovable, despite those distressing
circumstances. Every business man felt
the lack of an available market where
commercial bills and notes could be dis
counted and converted into disable funds
in time OF emergency. Time and again
we have witnessed the unrcSponsivcness
of our note issues. even in the most eX-
traordinary and critical times.
In short. our banking system is full of
deficiencies These facts must be borne
in mind when trying to dissect part of
Mr. Aldrich's plan of monetary reform.
Let us see how far the veteran chief Of
the Finance Committee of the Senate, a
man of wide experience. has faced them.
A. Piatt Andrew. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury. groups the deficiencies
in our banking system mainly into six
classes:
Lack of mechanism of sufficient range
and power and sufficiently disinterested
to secure cooperation. unity of policy.
and. above all. uninterrupted exchange
among the banks in the different parts
of the country.
Rightly of banking reserve regulations
and immobility of reserves which re-
suit from that fact and from their par
celization among $4,000 banks.
Lack Of any well-organized market
| necessity felt by our banks in order to
keep their funds liquid to lend large
amounts on call upon stock exchange
collateral.
Absence of fexibility in our note issue
and the monumental character of the
assets required by law to secure the
notes
An intermittent interference of gov
ernment finance with business. resulting
from the segregation Of government
funds
Lack in uniformity in banking priv
ieges and regulations due to the en-
istence of several classes of hanks, sub
ject to the varying laws of forty-six
States.
In Mr. Aldrich's proposed Reserve
Association of America an institution
is outlined to be owned exclusively by
the banks and to deal exclusively with
them. This institution, because of its
preponderant capital and resources. its
peculiar privileges, and its recognized
responsibilities. is intended to form a
common bond between the banks. to
serve them mutually and jointly, and to
exert controlling influence over tieas
activities. 1t shall clear accounts be-
tween different cities, it shall hold lag.
parts Of. their cash reserves. and shall
furnish an ever ready market for best

commercial paper. very much as stock
exchanges furnish a market for stocks
and bonds. With such an institution in
existence, it is really difficult to see how
solvent banks could be forced to sus-
pend, or domestic exchanges cease to
operate
As to the note issue, the plan pro-
vides a mechanism by which the bond
secured currency shall be retired and a
flexible issue based upon general assets
shall gradually be substituted without
depressing the value of outstanding
bonds or causing additional expense to
the government
The national banking system has suf-
fered in recent years because of the
rightly of the Federal banking laws as
compared with the banking and truse
company laws of the several States. The
Aldrich plan. without reducing the re-
quirements for capital and reserve, con-
templates the restoration of the balance
and the rehabilitation of the national
banking system by allowing certain
classes of national banks to conduct bust
ness in foreign countries and others to
open savings departments. and still
others to exercise the functions of trust
companies under proper restrictions.
Anv plan which contemplates the es-
Establishment of a new financial inStltu-
ton of such scope and powers as the
Reserve Association must be careful to
avoid control by particular interests or
subsection to political influences. The
Aldrich plan presents ingenious arrange
ments for preventing both. Monopoly
of stock control is out of the question,
as the capital stock can be held by banks
ONLY in proportion to their capital. The
governor of the association IS to be Sc
lected hv the President of the United
States from list submitted by the board
and practically is to serve for life. No
member OF the national or any State
legislature can serve as director OF the
association or any Of its branches.
The Reserve Association is not like
the Reichsbank in Germany, nor like
the Bank of France or the Bank of
England. vet it embodieS among It's tunc-
tons the valuable features common to
all of these institutions.

RAILROAD DANGER SIGNALS.
How Sometimes They Are Dfsrc.
garded by the EnEineers.

From the Manufacturers Recon-.
Persons unfamiliar with railroad op-
Grafton doubtless wonder why employees
frequently disregard signals when so
much depends upon proper observance
of them. An explanation may be found
in the old saw: Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" Day after day. or night after
night, an engineman runs over his road
finding signals showing clear as they
appear within range of his vision. Ii
becomes natural to take Tor granted that
they will so appear. Perhaps in a mo-
ment of inattention he finds himself rum
ming past a red one. and stops his train
only to discover that either the train
ahead had not quite passed out of the
''bl OK or that IN" towcrnan had failed
to show the clear signal when he should
have done So.
one or two experiences like this causes
an enginman to feel that it would not
have made much difference if he had con-
! tinued on his way. and thereafter. espe-
cially if he happens to be behind time
he may take chances on going ahead. par
tcularly in the case OF long block. Hc

obliged to stop in the block, a brakeman
under the rules must go back TO warn
