 for the present year, $s, e,2oo being asked for that purpose -
 The work to be done during the year on the Panama canal will cost $30, 174 432, which is Sl,110,567 less than the appropria- tions for the current year. Of this sum | $6, 9,522 is asked to build Qualifications and military barracks in the canal zone. | This year g, 325, 00O was appropriated for | Notifications at Panama.
 The estimates forecast another. billion dollar session of Congress, for in addition | to the sS23, 455 which is the total esti- mates, the Postmaster General estimates that s2s1, T9l ,50S will be necessary to con duct his department this year. This amount will not be supplied out of the postal revenues and will bring the total estimated appropriations for the year up to $l ,105, 206, 963.
 Just how these estimates will fare at the hands of the democratic majority in the House is the subject of considerable conjecture. Some difficulty in passing appropriation bills may follow disagree ments between the House and Senate as in the last session. The supply measures to be passed on the basis of the estimates submitted will go into, effect after the democrats have taken full control of the government, and it is expected that the attitude of the House majority on the
 
 forecast the attitude of the coming ad ninistraton.
 Among the estimates which will de- velop debate in Congress is a demand for $250, 900 for the economy and ef- ficiency commission appointed by Pres ident Taft, which Is Investigating and reforming the system of conducting the government business in the various de- partments.

COUNCIL ID RENDER
 INVALUABLE AID
Cause of Education in South Will Be Materially Bene-
 fited by Advisors

Nfontgonery, December 2.--lSpecial l. That invaluable service will be rendered the cause of education in the south by the council Of 4s members, provided for by a resolution of the Southern Educational association. Is the opinion of W. F. Fea- gin. secretary and treasurer of the asso- oiation. Mr. Feagn has just returned from the annual convention at Louis vile, Ky.
 According to MT. Feagin, the associa- ton has never. been able to accomplish all the work that was originally planned for that organization, owing to the fact that there has been a lack of concerted ef- fort in representing the various needs of the several communities in the south. While the association has been willing, the work as outlined has lacked definite ness, and the Southern Educational coun- ell is designed to supply this need.
 "The council may not achieve the full purpose for which it was organized for several years,p said Mir Feagin, but ul- timately it will come in touch with the various communities in the south. and will be able to present to the asseeia- tion in a concrete form such policies as should be pursued by that organization Although the Southern Educational asso- cistion has been in existence for a long time, 1t was evident to the members that it was not in close touch with certain conditions In the south; that it was not rendering is most efficient service, and that an advisory board was needed in order to make suggestions relative to pol ices to be pursued and in regard to other vital matters of interest in promot- ing educational progress in the south This will be the chief function of the edu- cational council
 The council will he composed of 4s members, which will include all the for mer presidents of the association. the present executive officers of the assoca- tion, and one member from the board of directors of the association in each of the 16 southern states.
