Bookkeeping Perfect Science"

DNONNCCPlIlk OClCnCC.
DR.. Cayley, the famous English mathemati-
clan. declared that there were but two per-
feet sciences-double entry bookkeeping and
mathematics. Probably the position OF the
old bookkeeper may be traced to the scien-
lists love for his work. Like the other
scientist, the mathematician, he was so alb
sorbed in his particular work that he lef:
the rest Of the world to wag on the best 1t
might He sought not the wider ields-but
was content. And in that contentment oppor-
tunity in more profitable work-profta BILE
from a monetary point at least-was
passed by.
But now a new era is at hand. Even the
scientist who was often the scape goat Of
fate in times gone by has come into his own
The highest awards are his. And for the
bookkeeper-'' scientist" the goal that lies
before him is that Of public accountant But
to reach this he will require not only the
great underlying principles Of his work. but
a thorough knowledge Of business affairs that
is far beyond the skill of debts and cred
its" The goal Is well worth the effort. As
an accountant Of the first class his services
will command a salary of S25 day, while his
average yearly earnings will top the IS. 900
mark.

4 SHORT AND LONG HiTL DECI.
SION

The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the Spokane and
ether rate cases affecting interior towns
near the Pacific Coast intelprets the
recent amendment 10 the short and
long haul clause of the interstate com
merce law. THE intendment Of the
amended law" says Commissioner
Lane, rs TO make its prohibition of the
higher rate for the shorter haul rule
"of wellnigh universal application, from
(which this commission may deyiate
''only in special cases. and then TO meet
transportation circumstances which are
beyond the carriers control"
The commission recognizes the iusti-
ficatiOn which the railroads offer for
some Of their rates being lower TO points
on the "acifc Coast than TO points in the
interior Of California Washington. Utah
and Nevada and other states similarly
situated-namely. the need Of meeting
competition by water Railroads cannot
charge so much for freight from New
York TO San Francisco that shippers
will prefer TO send their shipments by
boat. That is plain. even If the rate
which they have to make TO attract
business is unremuncrative. And San
Francisco may obtain lower rate
from New York than Reno does. al
though Reno is nearer This is not dis
elimination. San Francisco has the ad-
vantage Of position. 1t is on the coast
ind water transportation is cheap.
All this the Interstate Commerce
Commission recognizes i'm its report. but
f. nevertheless puts an end TO the arbi-
trary way in which the railroads have
applied the principle Of rates fixed by
water competition in determining the
rates TO be paid from points in
the interior Of the continent 10 the
Western towns. Plainly the influence
Of water competition as factor is
greatest between towns situated on the
Atlantic Coast and the far Western
towns. New York, wishing to ship 10
Reno might elect whether it would
send by rail or by water 10 San Fran
cisco and thence by rail 10 Reno Pitts
burg would be less likely TO ship 10y rail
10 New York. then by water 90 San
Francisco and then by rail to Reno, ana
Chicago still less so; while points west
OF Chicago would be so very unlikely 10
send merchandise this way that IL may
be said that water competition does not
exist as a factor. This situation the
decision recognizes, while the railroads

The outlook in Morocco has undis-
glisedly grown more menacing ana

let Us say, the noteworthy speech by
the British Chancellor Of the EXchequer,
which. rightly or wrongly. was gener-
ally regarded as a warning to Germany

ton that Mr.. Lloyd George made that

the Lords, than for serious influence in
European politics may probably be dis
missed as unfounded and unworthy.

faith. and certainly has been generally
accented at It's face value.

RIGHT Of Germany TO accomplish per-

Of Algecii-aS guarantees the sovereignty

uire. and also the open door and equal

Morocco Is small, compared with that
