aged on such a basis. The President con-
tends. and with unassailable logic, that
the proper source of recommendation as
to expenditure is the administrative
branch of the government. Congress may
determine the fiscal policies, writing the
tariff laws and otherwise providing ways
and means for raising revenue, and, of
course, it has the right TO expend as
much or as little as it wishes in the
operation of the government and the con-
struction of public works. but it should
surely possess at the beginning of each
session a clear and consistent statement
of the proposed expenditures which the
administration contemplates or recon-
mends. reckoned alongside OF the revenues
for the period as estimated by those who
are best qualified to figure out the ef-
fects of the income-producing laws.
No budgetary system can, of course.
deprive Congress of the power to write
the appropriations in whatever terms 1t
may see fit to adopt. No estimate or
prospective revenues can in the slightest
affect or curtail the power of Congress
to provide for and determine the re-
sources of the governments income. But
unless the administrative branch of the
government is to be merely a clerical
force, without initiative or responsibility
the process of estimating appropriations
should be put upon the business basis
which President Taft now firmly recon-
mends and proposes. Good organization
is impossible when appropriation acts
tentatively written in departments in the
form of estimates. are revised, first in
House committee second in House. third
in Senate committee, fourth in Senate.
fifth In conference, and even then some
times a sixth or seventh time in the
House aud the Senate again. And ali
this without any correlation of the reve-
INCREASING and the revenue-spending
powers of. Congress. What President
Taft now proposes is to deliver to Con-
gress at the beginning of each session
budget which will state the prospective
income and the proposed outgo in such
clear and specific terms that Congress
can appropriate for the conduct of the
government intelligently and effectively.

Roosevelt, Wilson and Trusts.

Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Wilson are ex-
changing compliments on the trus,
question. Says Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.
Wilson: New Jersey is the favorite
habitat Of the trusts. If you are OPP
posed to them, why as governor have
you not put some of them out of bust
ness?' Says Mr. Wilson to Mr.. Roose-
welt: Under your two administrations
s.. trusts fiourished as never before in
this country. What sort Of record is
that upon which to seek a return to
the presidency"
Mr. Roosevelt is little unreasonable
Mr. Wilson has been Governor Of New
Jersey less than two years. and during
all the time an aspirant for the presi-
dency. On that account he has not
been entirely free-handed The power
of the trusts in the state Is the growth
of years. How has it been possible for
a novice in politics and in office to
uproot it in a few months, and with
the White House dazzling picture be:
fore him? What Mr.. Wilson might
have done in his present place un-
hampered by a desire to go higher is
a matter for speculation. Maybe he
might have done a little something.
AS for the increase in the number of
trusts during Mr.. Roosevelt's occu-
pancy of the White House. it must be
taken into account that between 1901,
when Mr.. Roosevelt took Office, and
1907, when a panic came on, the coun-
try enjoyed great prosperity. Condi-
lions having their origin in the sue
cessful management of affairs by Mr..
Mckinley continued, and everything
fiourished. The country completely
recovered from, and forgot, it's soup
house experience under Mr.. Cleveland.
The trusts simply improved an eXcep-
tional opportunity.
In whatver we do. let us not kill
prosperity. Let us not return to the
days between 1893 and 1897, when the
highways and byways were crowded
with worthy men seeking work and
unable to find it; with charities sup
ported at top figures; with capital I'M
easy, and much of it in hiding; with
the very deuce to pay in all walks of
life and in all directions. Surely we
can handle the trusts without renew
ing experiences which after fifteen
Years cause a national shudder in the
recollection.
Mr.. Roosevelts trust record made
while President is not half so impor-
tant as the question of what his record
would be il he should be returned to
power. His. principal adviser then
would be trust agent and manipula-
tor of the highest grade. George w.
Perkins knows the whole trust system
from top to bottom. and has amassed a
large fortune and achieved an inter-
national fame in the service of trusts.
In some way. therefore, we might have
a government Of Roosevelt, by Perkins.

Who Owns the Stock?

One of the most serious objections to
any form of Incorporation under the laws
of another Jurisdiction than the District
for the purpose Of controlling any Of the
local public utilities is that such mode
of organization would not permit
scrutiny of stock ownership lists. as the
laws Of the District insure. Under exist
ing acts of Congress annual reports are
made which set forth by name and num-
Der the owners of the securities Of the
various public service corporations. and
thus it is possible at least every twelve
months for the community to ascertain
the Identities of individuals responsible
for the conduct of these properties, unless,
as sometimes happens, they are concealed
by proxies. If the control of any of the
public utilities of the District is secured
by the projected holding or funding conf
pany, all Identities would be merged into
that of the new corporation, the
owners of which would remain anony-
nous. This is not mere matter
of public curiosity. but it has
direct bearing upon the relations be-
tween the community and the cor
poration, which serves it. 1t would
be at this stage more than interest
ing, it is decidedly important. to know
Just who holds the stock of the
Maryland Virginia corporation. possibly
throwing light upon the methods en-
ployed in it's formation and upon the
range of influence already eXerted. Surely
nothing could be lost to the promoters OF
what is now explained to be merely a
funding company, to provide additional
capital to carry out projected or congress
s.onaily ordered works of extension and
Improvement by the publication of the
list Of stockholders. OF course, this cam
not be brought about as long as the new
corporation is formed under the laws OF
the state of Virginia, and this is an addi-
tional reason why the public service COM
mission act should be passed as promptly
as possible, so as to give the District full
enlightenment always and in all circum-
stances regarding the true nature OF the
corporations doing business here in the
control and management OF the utilities
AS long as the facts concerning the own
ership Of this new company are withheld
public curiosity will increase.

The Budget Plan.

President Taft takes definite issue with
the action of Congress at the last session
prohibiting the submission of estimates
for the governments annual expenditures
in what is known as budgetary form. and
i'll a letter 10 Secretary MacVeagh he
directs the preparation of the estimates
this year In accordance with the forms
proposed by the economy and efficiency
commission, which has been at work for
some months past seeking to improve the
business methods of the federal admin
istration.
The President points out in his letter
that there are some ninety statutes now
in force governing the preparation and
submission of estimates and the writing
of appropriations, resulting in a complex
and unsatisfactory and unbusinesslike sys-
TEN of money allotment. There is no
automatic coordination of the money
providing and the money-spending au-
thorizations. Each house of Congress has
its committee on appropriations. which
frames the appropriation acts and secures
their passage as nearly as possible in the
form in which they are reported to the
respective bodies. Each house has also
committee Which has jurisdiction over
all questions of fund provision. in the
House the committee on ways and means
and in the Senate on finance The two
House committees do not necessarily work
together. except by private consultation,
nor do the two Senate committees work
= necessarily in harmony. Between the
four committees. with the changes that
are made in the bills in the chambers
themselves. there is annually a state of
confusion as TO revenues and expendi-
lures that leaves the government at all

From the New York World.
On the day that Vilhjalmur Stefansson

covery of the blond Esquimos. news
came from st. Johns, \. F.. of the fail
ure of the hunting and exploring cruise
of the Algerine, under command of Capt.

romantic, the news Of the wreck of the
Algerine was brought with her rescued
crew. by the Scott expedition. which had
sailed from st. Johns on a gold-hunting
cruise in the Neptune. Here in one day
is choice of action enough to stir the
blood of adventure-lovers The earth is
not one dead level of mOnotony. You
can live year on seal oil with stone
age men who never saw money, or hunt
musk OK in the barren wastes of the
north, or seek gold in far and unli kelly
places. There is still sunken treasure to
raise. South and Central American revo-
lutions offer action In abundance: copra

dived for. And If one wishes to break
his neck quickly. aeroplanes will provide
the supreme adventure over fiat Long
Island farms. Romance-readers may rail
at these later days as dull and monot-
onous. The real reason why most people
do not seek adventure is that they do not
care to. There is plenty of opportunity.
