THE BOOK sWINDLERs.

No greater or more general dis closure of the operations of swindlers has been made in recent years than that of the edition de luxe book selling gang which has taken probably fif- teen million from the funds of many in fairly comfortable circumstances but who in most cases depended upon the income therefrom. The operators re- lied upon the gullibility of the people with whom they dealt in gathering in their coin, but the worst feature of their swindle was the use of blackmail to draw out the exorbitant prices se- cured. The government is making headway in running down the swim dlers but 1t would seem that with all the many gold brick schemes put into operation, the time would come when such get rich quick ideas and big re- turns upon investments would be secuted by the public.
 While the swindlers have been get ting outrageous prices bx misrepre- senting the books and threatening the people, a great share of the blame must rest upon the confding buyers. Buy ing valuable books or antiques of any kind without actual knowledge of their genuineness or worth is ticklish bus iness, in which good advice should be sought. When it came to blackmail it should have been the best indica- ton that the deal was a crooked one and it should have been promptly checked by exposure. Publicity could have blocked the game at an early stage as effectively as 1t has finally accomplished it after so many have been feeced. The lesson of experience needs daily review.

THE MERCER DECISION.

The dissolution of the Union Pa cifc merger with the Southern Pacific in accordance with the directions of the United States Supreme court does not appear as though it was going to be a great hardship upon the control ling road. The court in it's order is ap- parently not going to harm anyone very extensively. though the restora- tion of competing lines will be in the interest of the shippers. The decision seems to give what MT. Hartman sought when he was forced into the merging of the two roads to gain his point.
 It was important to the Union Pa cifc's development that 1t should get the Central Pacific line from Ogden to San Francisco. Otherwise it was de- barred from business at that point on the Pacific to which it was necessary to go in order to tap another of the ports of entry, get the business in both directions and become a competing line. The Southern Pacific held the key to the situation and it was im- possible to buy that needed line with out taking the entire Southern Pacific which was done.
 By the decision of dissolution and the opinion that the Union Pacific should have the line from Ogden to San Francisco the desire of years ago Is granted. The outcome shows pe- culiar condition in the fact that it became necessary to form an illegal combination in violation of the Sher- man antitrust law in order to accom- plish legal transaction which could be put through in no other way. The circumvention of stubborn business transactions Is thus accomplished by the peculiarities of law.

ELECTRICITY ON RAIL ROADS.

Electrification of steam roads is a costly operation, yet it is being car ried on to an increasing extent by the many large railroads which are equip ping their main lines with this motive power in preference to steam. This means of course the erection of power plants and in not a few instances wa ter instead of steam is there being used to generate the electricity. The New Haven system is gradually ex- tending its use on it's main system and 1t will be but a short time before it will be operating the entire line be- tween New York and New Haven. Be- tween Philadelphia and Washington the Pennsylvania system Is planning to operate its line by the invisible power while other lines in and about Balti- more will be likewise operated within which the Susquehanna river will be harnessed.
 The Denver and Rio Grande is to spend 25 million dollars in changing over from steam to electricity in the next two years. These simply show that the start is but being made in the way of identification and in mak- Ing water power do the work instead of coal the value of 1t is realized throughout the country whether 1t be the east where coal Is cheaper or on the Pacific slope. The perfection oi the motors Is greatly aiding in the desire to change, the power being without the annoyance connected with the use of coal and has proved success f.aI uhere tried out
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-04
AGAINST A REAL BUDGET.

It seems quite evident that opposi- ton can be expected from the demo- crats in congress to the budget syetem, which has been so strongly urged by the president and which must appeal to everyone who gives it thought as a sound and practical method of get ting the government on a business basis. The democrats seem to think that heads of committees instead of secretaries of the departments should prepare the estimates.
 In declaring the shortcomings of such a plan the Newark News says: "In our government any real budget system would give the various secre- taries a part in planning the approprf- ation bills, and should also permit them to appear before the legislative body to urge, explain and be questioned.
 Traditional congressional jealousy, perhaps combined with that devotion to theory which so often outweighs common sense among democratic rep resentatives, has operated to suggest a sort of a system by which the heads of the important congressional com mittees are to prepare a budget. While the plan is presumably better than the present disassociated and disorganized snarl of raising and spending money, 1t does not deserve the name of a budget system.
 Tt fails altogether, as so far out lined to promise that intelligent ap- preciation of where and why money is needed that can only come from those men who are most intimately ac- quainted with the executive branch of the government"
 The preparation of a reliable budget should be assisted in by the officials of departments who have charge o1 the expenditures. who are acquainted with the needs of and demands upon the department and who are thorough ly acquainted with the handling of the revenues. Their exclusion from mak- ing up of the budget means a black eye to the best interests of such a system.
