PUBLIC LAND LAWS
Should Be Revised-Sec. Fisher tc
Make Recommendations

Washington. Nov. 29.-Secretaryl OF
the Interior Fisher, today, announced
that he would recommend to Congress
in his forthcoming annual report the
repeal of the act of 1901 investing the
secretary Of the interior with power
10 grant rights of way for watre syf-
TENS and other purposes on public
lands o. the United States. under
which the city OF san Francisco Is
seeking to gain admittance TO tho
Hetchy- Hetehy valley in the Yosemite
National park for its water supply
This announcement was the feature of
today's hearing on the San Francisco
project.
The secretary said the law was I'M
satisfactory because permits granted
under it was reyoSable. Municipalities
permitted to go upon government
reservation. he said, were greater VIC
iators OF restrictions placed upon them
than individuals. ard the office having
power to revoke the permit was placed
in an embarrassing situation when
such violations occurred. He pointed
out that any permit he might grant
could pe revoked by his successor.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Nov 29-The highest rate
for call money in several years was
ed Just before the close. Quotations fiuc-
tuated in an erratic way during the day,
and the bulk of the business was trans
acted at figures considerably below the
top. The opening was at per cent. and
renewals were made at I. After mount
ing to 10 per cent, the rate fell back to
by leaps, until 20 per cent. was touched
in the last few minutes. 1t was the
highest rate since January of 1Ss
furry in money was not altogether
unexpected, although the comparative
ease at the opening and the dip to 5 per
cent. after 10 per cent. was touched had
lessened fears of squeeze. There were
indications, however, that the recent
scarcity of funds might make it's effects
felt in some such way. Loans made. to-
day, carried over into the new month.
and there were preparations to be made
for over s100,0o0,00 December in land div
idend disbursements. Another unsettlns
factor was the drain on this center by
Canada and the interior. which threatens
to obliterate the surplus reserve shown
in last Weeks bank statement. Fore.
casts based on known movements of
money indicated a cash loss of from s4.-
10000 to twice that amount. The loss of
ditional shipment of $500, co., bringing up
the total to s1750,000
The uncertain status of money was an
effective bar to speculative activity in
stocks and the market was listless. The
Hartman stocks and Canadian Pacific
We're higher and there were wide move
ments in a few specialties with General
Electric, Westinghouse and Rubber par
ticularly strong. Otherwise fluctuations
We're narrow. The furry in money was
without effect on stocks.
The Hartman lines, Canadian Pacific
and Northern Pacific reported increases
of round amounts in their earnings for
October The earnings of Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific We're the largest
in their history. The bond market was
generally firm, although there was Il
slight depression in some quarters Total
sales, par value, sl,30O000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

REVOLUTIONARY REFORM
In the Government Expenditures u
cd by Rep. Sherley.

Washington Nov. ga revolutions
airy reform in the entire fiscal scheme
of the government so far as the pro-
vision of funds for governmental ex-
penditures is concerned is projected
in a resolution to be pressed in the
House at the coming session by Rep.
Sherley Of Kentucky, the third rank
ing Democrat on the, House appro-
priations committee. Rep. Sherley's
resolution introduced at the last ses-
sion, contemplated the creation of a
budget committee Ia the House, which
shall have original jurisdiction over
ali estimates for annual expenditures
and shall aflot to the various appro-
priation committees of the House
amounts available for the various
branches of the government service.
: Every effort will be made to have the
measure operative with the advent Of
the new Democratic administration
: Mr. Sherley said, today. The resolu-
ton will run counter to the budget
proposals of President Taft, which will
be submitted to Congress in a spe-
cial message just before the Christ
mas holidays. The President contem-
plates a general budget scheme by
which the estimates of the various de-
partments for expenditures will be
submitted 10 the House in bulk, with
a general statement of the country's
financial condition.
For years" said Mr. Sherley, to-
day, Il have been endeavoring TO Sc
cure in the House method of con-
sidering estimates for appropriation
in "A more modern and scientific way,
in order that Congress and the coun-
try might appreciate the purpose for
which such moneys We're needed. and
might have in advance some accurate
idea of the general totals. together
with knowledge of probable rev
enues"
Chairman Henry cf the rules com
mittee said he was in sympathy with
the purposes of The She~ley resolutions
and that he believed favorable action
by the committee ON the rssolatioa or
one along similar lines could be Sc
cured at the coming session
