THE BUDGET.

President Taft has been an enthus- fastfo advocate of the budget system, a regular statement or account of re- cetpts and expenditures, for the pur- pose of conducting the gevernments E business with a proper understanding of its ability to get revenue and it's restrictions to the available funds. h. stead Of dipping into the treasury for huge expenditures. regardless oi whether the revenue will be sufficient to meet it, or in fact with little or no regard as to where it is to come from, it is good business foresight that estimated expenses and receipts should be set before all members ot congress for their guidance. The president in his special message to congress goes at length into discus sion of the necessity of the budget It is a statement of the situation which must appeal to every thinking person in vogue of getting and expendins the country's money.
 No business house or municipality would be able to operate successfully under the methods by which the gov ernment finances are operated today The government is without a plan ol g. programme under which to operate it is impossible to locate responsibility and when it is indicated that a def- cheney of more than sS3, eee, 900 is faced in 1914 it makes the argument strong CT than ever that the budget will be a great help in knowing how the gov ernmeRt stands at all times. If such a preeautien is so necessary for small CT business 1t must be of the greatest importance to the government.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Knockers Growing Less.

MT. Editor: I do not imagine that the average voter takes any interest in the complete reports you make of Business Men's association meetings. They are worth reading, and if a man would know his town such reports should be carefully read.
 It pleased me to see that in the opinion of my old friend Ttbbitts the knockers of the town are growing and he knows knocker when he sees him
 There Is more than one class of knockers in every town, and I have always noticed that those who make the least noise are the hardest hit ters.
 The speaker who publicly declared to the assembled business of the town that Thames street was the dirtiest street in this state of 16S towns. was in the true sense a necessary and a hard knocker, for it isn't crime to tell the truth about public conditions, for criminality rests with the negli- gent and the negligence which makes such conditions. and these are the kind of knockers which tell worst against a place-shamefu1 conditions not true words.
 I do not know whether this state ment was an exaggeratien, but the spirit which would have things right and respectable is not the spirit to cry down although some of our short sighted, thinking and tinlfd cit izens frequently proclaim that it is.
 The individual expressing opinions over a pen name doesn't do any harm to the town. for he only rolls up in dividuals so they get after him, and in their zeal to identify him they even propose to interfere with a free expression of opinion, or free speech.
 The knockers of this town who have done and are likely to do effective uori< uaver write letters fo the editors as pen-nane sneaks or real-name valiants They know what they can do, and do 1t.
 MT. Carey surprised me by the spirit he manifested against pen-name com nnunieations; but Mir. Carey is young yet and has time to grow-to get heft and breadth in various ways. hope the voters will take a live i'm terest in our civic. as well as political combinations, which essay to do things.

STEEL EQUIPMENT.

In placing two new trains on their system to operate between New York and Boston, equipped with all steel cars, the New Haven road is meeting 8 demand which has arisen for great CT safety and comfort in travelling. Steel cars have demonstrated in case of a wreck that they provide the near est to an indestructible train that it is possible to get and the elimination of fire is also assured. Steel cars af- ford the greatest element of safety for railroad equipment and it is to be hoped that this is but the begin ming of general substitution of such wooden ones. Many instances within the past year have demonstrated the need of this change and the time is coming when wooden cars will be a thing Of the past. particularly in the equipment of the fast express trains.
 This is a condition which is true with all the large railroads. Recogni- ton is taken of the requirements of the public and in working for ele- gance and comfort there Is nothing more important than the provision in behalf of safety. Such changes are made at large expense, but it is the devotion of money to a branch of the service which is bos7nd to have the best effect It is a step to which the public can and will give it's greatest appreciation and particularly so when the policy is applied to all the trains. whereby all will be given the same assurance of safety which the train de luxe passengers receive.

GROWING THROUGH ApvERTIs-
 ING.


 An interesting bit of legislation the Nebraska legislature Is -the bill providing for a state conservation and public welfare commission. Of this the Omaha Bee says.
 The purpose of this measure is simply to advance the interests of Nebraska abroad. It centemplates a permanent system for gathering and publishing facts about the state. it's resources and peopie-nothing but facts. And Nebraska is serely in need of something of this sort It is be- hind most progressive states in the lack of any efffcient statistical bureau. Short sightedness and parsimony have thus far deprived us of that important agency. The welfare commission is proposed as an adjunct to the state university, being educational in char acter. Much of the work of the com mission will dove-ta tail nicely into that of the agricultural school. thus enab- linz the state to broaden the scope Of usefulness of this institution The measure is drawn as free as possible from selfish interest. the intent being to make it entirely public in its pur- pose and character"
 Such an idea is of importance to every state. Cities have found it to their advantage to send forth facts as to their attractions. facilities. edu- cationaI and business equipment and there is no reason why 1t should not be applied to states Honest. whole some advertising is good for everything whether 1t be business. cities or states and Nebraska will doubtless realize the benefit from 1t. It is simply effort to grow through advertising.

OPPOSING TAMM ANY.

Strict adherence to, previous deoIar- ations would find the progressiyes in New York holding aIeof by themselves and striving te better conditions in the impossible manner which char acterized the last presidential cam pafgn and placed the democrats in power. The appeal of reason. hew- sion upon Colonel Roosevelt and shows the fallacy eff permitting admittedly wrong conditions to exist when 1t lies within their power to help in accomplishing an improvement. The rule of Tammany in the metropolis is cause for common opposition and fu- sion is the logical method of accom- plishins it's downfall That Colonel Roosevelt has agreed to permit his forces to assist in the defeat of c. F Murphy promises the strength which has previously been marshal1ed against Tammany and which was suc- cessfu1 in the last election except for the mayor.
 Conditions there are such that com bined action is needed and to such an extent that partisanship can well be discarded in the selection of the candidates. The need is for the best men, that the city may have their best efforts for a proper municipal administration. It is apparent that this can be obtained only by standing together and combining forces against common enemy, fact which on the face of it becomes duty to the people as well as for their own vel fare. The situation resolves itself into an anti TamTnany combination and fusion Is necessary to give it the needed strength.
