 There is nothing new about Mayor Wilson's method. It is one of the weaknesses of the American system, that elective officials, beset by increas- ing municipal demands on one side and a desire for reelection on the other. keep the tax rate down. not by practicing economy, but by postponing payment.
 The method Is termed in private fi- nance, running up bills. exceeding ones income, getting into debt and the like.
 Yet, the plan Is better than bond ing. Under a fifty year bonding plan this proposed improvement would cost $6O,OOO instead of $3O,OOO.

In my opinion, and believe the Taft

jority in 1891 that II had given any Re-
publican candidate for a quarter of q
century. and IT has remained Roose-

WANTS ALASKAN
COAL FOR NAVY
Meyer Tells Committee Government
owned Railway Would Be
a National Economy.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer, appear
ing before the House Naval Committee
yesterday. discussed the necessity for a
government owned railroad in Alaska, so
that the unlimited coal fields Of the Ter
ritory might be tapped and the fleet in
the Pacific supplied with the best quality
OF steaming coal at a great annual
saving.
Mr.. Meyer pointed out that 1t now costs
about $l,OO0.O00 a year to bring coal
around the Horn for the use Of United
States vessels in the Pacific, and that it
will be entirely feasible for the govern
ment 10 build a railroad into the coal
fields which would make them entirely
accessible.
There is no probability that the gen.
eral boards plan will go through at this
session. Representative John ]. Fitz-
gerald, Of Brooklyn. chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee, whose
district is near the New York Navy Yard,
is convinced that should this navy yard
be put out of business the government
would be practically at the mercy Of the
private ship builders.

10000 SOLDIERS
In SUMMER CAMP
Programme Of Joint Militia Ma
neuyers Will Be the Largest in
National Guard History.

Preliminary plans for the biggest pro-
gramme Of maneuvers and Joint en-
campments OF the regular army and the
various State militias in the history of
the country were approved by the War
Department yesterday. The principal fea-
lures Of these joint exercises, which will
be held during the month Of July, will be
q general maneuver campaign in the
vicinity Of New York, which will prob
ably be in the nature Of a land attack
upon that city; a general field campaign
at Fort Riley. Kans.. and a general
maneuver in the nature of an attack
from the rear upon San Francisco.
The approximate total number of SOL
diers participating in the various exer-
ctses in the Eastern division will be co.
900; In the Central division. q, 900; in the
Western division. 1000. with a total OF
more than 1000. The largest number
used in these joint exercises in previous
years was 5000 in 1903 and 81, 600 in 1910
The greatly increased number this year
is due mostly to the unusually large par
ticipation Of the New York militia. TO the
large number Of State joint camps, and
the larger number of States participating.
These exercises will be conducted by only
the infantry and cavalry, no field artil-
lery being included. The coast artillery
organizations Of the militia will have
Notifications nearest to them.
The joint camp in Pennsylvania will
probably be held at Mount Gretna, with
the militia of Maryland, West Virginia
Delaware. Virginia, and the District of
Columbia, with total of 5000 State
troops, and enc regiment of regular
infantry. The Southeastern States will
go into joint camp with the regular
army at Chickamauga Park. These are
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia. Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, and
Tennessee, with a total OF 10000 mil
itia and one regiment OF infantry and
one regiment OF cavalry.
The programme includes q joint camp
for the Hawaiian Islands. with 500 ma
tive militiamen and one battalion OF
regular infantry. The maneuvers and
exercises will continue for a period
of ten days. the exact dates for which
Iemain to be fixed.

CHAIRMAN BARNES
Dimes WITH TAFT

William Barnes, jr.. chairman of the
New York State Republican committee.
took dinner at the White House last
night with President Taft. This visit Of
Barnes to the White House is regarded
here as tantamount to an announcement
by him that he Is for the President. Mr..
Barnes Up to this time has made no
public statement as to candidates, al
though his friends have maintained right
along that he is for Taft. Mr.. Barnes
said that he was concerned chiefly over
the platform to be adopted.
II was learned that the conference at
the White House had to do chiefly with
the upstate situation New York Coun-
ty having already declared for Taft. Col
Roosevelt intends to direct his batteries
in New York State above the Bronx
line. Roosevelt has placed his fight in
the hands of William L. Ward. Republi-
can national committeeman. and expects
Ward to pull enough OF the upstate dis
tricts to him to make some sort OF q
showing against the President In the
Empire State
Barnes will lead the fight for the Pres
ident in the upstate districts. and he
and his followers are certain that Roose-
Welt will not have more than three or
four districts

which have been made and furnished to

yesterday afternoon requested Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson to make an inves-
tigation OF the whole matter and also re-
quested the Secretary to publish in full
the correspondence on file in the De-
partment with reference TO the matter.
The representations made by DIR. Wiley
to the Secretary Of Agriculture are con-
sidered Of grave character, and It Is
stated that Secretary Wilson will to-day

DR.. Wiley yesterday afternoon stated
that hs is perfectly willing TO stand
upon h.S record in the case IL the whole
correspondence be published, but he
does not propose to be judged by garbled
and incomplete extracts. The so-called
charge against DR.. Wiley is that he is
using his control of the board OF food

baking powder companies from prosecu-
ton.
would Abolish Remsen Board.
Representative Moss. chairman OF the
House committee which investigated the
Wiley-McCabe controversy, made a
speech in the House yesterday. in which
he urged the abolition OF the Remsen
referee board in its present status. II
there Is to be a board to review the de-
eisions Of the Bureau Of Chemistry in
pure food matters, he argued. IL should
be created by Congress and not by execu-
tive order.
The agricultural appropriation bill called
up in the House late. yesterday con-
tains an appropriation of $4,000 for the
maintenance OF the Remsen board. As
chairman of the iuyestteatfnR committee
Mr.. Moss declared that he was firmly of
the opinion that the present system was
wrong and that Congress should create
a new board and abolish the Remsen
board. which was named by President
Roosevelt.
