power, to nd the world Of countless burdens.
I'VE have evolved, 1t seems to me, a very prac-

to precise knowledge OF just what 1t needs, and.
second. for the presidents influence to be put
upon the three commissioners OF the District OF
Columbia to have put into practice there all the
valuable things discovered In all the American
cities.
by this means we hope to produce q scheme
OF government for Washington which will not only
meet Its own needs, but will. by It's adoption else
where, work a similar benefit.
'The importance OF the preliminary survey
must not be overlooked. We do not want to 60
down to Washington and construct an ideal city
out OF some mans head. We want to find. by
the most scrupulous and exhaustive search what
1t is that Washington stands most In need OF;

There IL one. and only best way for
cleaning streets; one best way for arranging
school curricula; one best way for conserving
the public health. These best ways once they
are discovered and firmly established. are Just as
eficacious In one form OF city government as they
are In another.
There is not. at the present time. one city In
this country which is systematically finding and
using the best ways for conducting its various
municipal departments.
I'VE believe that the only reason for this scat
tered and disorganixed state of things lies In the
inability OF our many cities to find q common
meeting ground on which to thrash out the good
they have discovered from the bad they have not
known how to avoid

they cannot give It even to their neighbors, be-
cause they have no official place of exchange!

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA

The present tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being In
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t Is really more period
Of stock.taking resorted to BY the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun.

are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who II allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev.
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something q good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and 1t 10
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse Of trade Is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
Of the Dominion government, and 1t
is illuminative to read portions Of the
address Of Hon. w. T. White. the
Finance Minister, delivered q few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are In part az
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex.
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year.
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. I
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, 1t will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $16S,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1911.12 Of
over $32,OO0,000. Some indication OF
the magnificent growth of the Domin.
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase In revenue during the pc.
riod OF one year almost equals the en-.
tire revenue Of the country seventy
years ago.
THE augmentation Of revenue to
which have referred has not been
irregular. spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was OF course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue--excise, post office
and railways-also gave US very sub
stantial increases"
THAT in q period OF great finan.
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con.
gested markets Of the world, but have
been able to reduce 80 substantially

Il believe that during this period

maintained itself among the highest
