UNCLE jim GROWS
REVOLUTIONARY
is GROWING AT COUNCILS EF-
FORTS TO INCREASE PAY
OF CITY ATTORNEY.

Atlanta, Nov. 12.-"Bow. Wowi"
and likewise "Grrrrrr." said the
watchdog of Atlanta's treasury this
morning
Accompanying the remarks there
was a showisg of teeth and paving
up of the earth, and following them
there was extreme sadness among
certain minor city employees, including
the policemen.
The watchdog is uncle Jim Wood
mayor. He is as proud of one as the
other, and lives up to both.
The thing that is maxim. his hair
stand on end and causing him to bark
and growl at the present moment is
the effort OF city council to increase
the pay of the city attorney $50 a
month. to increase the pay CT the
city policemen somewhat, and by va
rious other increases to add several
thousand dollars to the citys salary
list.
Uncle Jim is revolutionary. He has
made suggestion never heard of be-
fore in any municipality or any other
organization in which men are elected
or appointed for political reasons. He
is actually 50 revolutionary that some
people think his ideas border on an
archy. for he proposes, mirabile dictu
that the salaries of city employees
shall be proportionate to the amount
Of work they do!
II such plan were carried out 1t
would probably mean some big chang
es In the salary list, for 1t is Mr. Wood
wards strange idea that a city gov
eminent ought to be run like a big
business organization in which every
employe actually snail earn the money
which is paid him.
Il think 1t Is manifestly unjust that
some employees should receive only
| SIS for certain work while others re-
ccive four or five times as much for
the same grade of work." Mayor

there was tremendous competition among
the makers of cars to get on the royal

There is of course great competition
among the best tailoring firms in the
West End of London to secure the future
patronage of the prince. AT the present
moment the prince is dressed by two
very well-known tailors, who have had
the royal patronage for many years.
King George went to those tailors re-
cause his father did, and the late king
patronized them because, when he was a
young man, they were the only two firms
TO whom 1t was considered possible for
a prince to give his custom.
But since there have sprung up about
the West End at least a couple of dozen
firms, who are regarded as quite the
equal of the firms mentioned. and among
them there is a tremendous competition

and especially now as we have the Pam
anna canal Nevertheless the most of this
debt Is owing to Europe, and the powers
there intimate that If we make them
keep their hands off we ought to see that
they get back the money they have
loaned. The foreign bondholder in many
cases would be glad of the rethrn of the
principal, lacking the interest, but they
say the United States should make the
credit of Central America good This
can only be done by treaty arrangements
which will give us the supervision and
application to the foreign debts OF the
customs collections, as was done in the
case of Santo Domingo, resulting in the
wiping out of revolution and the putting
of that country on a good business basis.
This, In short, is the proposition of the
United States government.

1861 and 1870, and upon them for 40 years

into the hands of any one Of these
anxious statesmen you can command al
most anything under the sun.
For this individual is none other than
the Prince of Wales. heir to the English
hrone. In the latter part of 1915, when
ne reaches his 21st birthday. he will come
into unfettered control of an income of
about s650,ooo per annum, and a ready
sum of almost si,5oO,oo0 which has been
specially set aside out of the revenues
of the Duchy of Cornwell 0he wealthy
crown estate the income from which is
settled on the prince to defray the ex-
1enses his royal highness will incur when
he sets up a separate and independent
household and establishment of his own.
These statesmen have not hesitated to
approach every person in the encourage
of the prince who is in the least likely TO
accept commission on a royal order,
and many and remarkable are the in
drcements offered. OF course there are
many people about the prince who are
ready and willing to influence his .ustom
for a consideration, though commission
business of this sort is done very dis
creetly.
Among those who may be approached
in this way are the princes valet, some

the samples arrive in heavy gold sill

able character.
OF course, tradesman who sends the
prince really valuable article by way

be able to advertise the fact that he is
patronzed by his royal highness. As

it is known, when York House was being
furnished for his majesty before his mar
riage, purchased about $l50,O00 worth of
old furniture and various objects of an
tque art which turned out later to be
merely modern reproductions and are now
used to ornament the working rooms OF
household officials at st. James palace.
Most of them were sold to the king by
dealer who has since died, but was then
well-known in the art world as being an
exceedingly shrewd man of business, and
as plausible as he was shrewd. The
prince is not at all likely to be lured
into making such mistake as to give a
dealer, however high in reputation he
may stand, free commission to purchase
pictures, old furniture or any object of
art. All these will be bought for the
prince by Guy Laking, who holds the
position of kings armorer in the royal
household He was especially appointed
to that position by the late king who
desired to have an art expert attached to
the household to value. any art object
that he might desire to purchase.
Great care is being taken also to pre-

there. There are also extensive banana
plantations, the fruit going to New Or

to the raising of caeao the industry being
subsidized by the government. At pres
ent the output is consumed in the coun-

A Loan of S15.000.O00
The loan Of Nicaragua is $15, 900 900, and
If it should be carried out it will result in
the putting of that country on a sound
basis secured by the customs. The loan
will lead to a stable currency in a land
where the paper money has been worth
as low as cents on the dollar. 1t would
also bring about railroad development
backed by American capital, road hav-
ing been planned from Lake Nicaragua
to the east coast forming in connection
with that lake a transcontinental route
across Central America There is no
doubt but that .the interest could be paid
by the customs, which would probably in
crease through our management. Dur
ing the pending of the treaty the govern
ment there put the customs under Mr.
Clifford d. Manila, and under his admin
istration the receipts have almost trebled.
At the same time there is much oppo
sition to the loan, and when Secretary
Knox visited Nicaragua a plot was made
to blow up his train as it passed over
a bridge This was discovered through
the premature explosion of a cartridge
and the dynamite removed. Forty men
were arrested as being connected with
the plot.
Costa Rica and Salvador
As to the Costa Rican debt, that coun-
try has a better credit than any other of
the Central American republics, and it's
finances are more honestly managed Its
foreign debt in 1910 was about 600,
of which almost half was arrears of in
terest The bondholders met together,
however. last January and made a set
tlement which cut down this amount al
most half, and the interest rate was only
4 to per cent.
The Costa Rican resources are very
