Developing Water Power.
(Washington Post.A

Secretary Lanes announcement
that the water power leasing bill is to
be taken up and pushed in the next
congress Is gratifying to all who
favor the development of natural re-
sources on the basis of the square
deal Mr.. Lane points out that con-
solicitations of power companies are
being effected in the western states
which will place fifty per cent. of the
developed power under one control. If
not stopped, this press Is likely to
result, in the creation of monopolies
against which the government will
|, be compelled to bring its biggest guns.
The time to act in the public interest
Is now, before private spectators
/ have seized all the resources.
In the development of electric
| power and tho manufacture OF fer
| tilizers and chemicals the water pow
ers Of the United States are of i'm
mense value. They belong toithe peo-
| pie of the nation, residing in the sew

there is less debate over the accounts
than there used to be. The great
advantage will lie in information that
will be given the members In the
printed reports, while at present the
only information Impaired Is that
which may be CLEANED while the re-
ports are being read. II In the past
there have been numerous instances
where members had matters laid over
because of some Indebtedness In the
reports and the consequent inability
to obtain the Information which was
deemed necessary before the members
felt they could vote intelligently upon
them. 1t Is also believed that this
arrangement will raise the standard
of the work of the council because
when the scheme Is put into operation
no member can successfully claim
that he had not sufficient opportunity
to ascertain what was going on and
If he Is not onto his job his constitu-
ents will in all probably be soon onto
him. The business Of the city should
soon be in full blast for the reason
that Mayor Quigley has practically all
his appointments made, the city
meeting Is over, the appropriations
are available and there are no OBJ
stacles in the way OF the machine
pushing its way along. This will be
the mayors last year Of his admin.
istration and the work accomplished
this year will no doubt have consid-
cradle to do with his denomination
next spring. The mayor is believed
To be paving his way for another term
as head of the city government and
his plan now apparently is to be able
to give a good account of his steward.
ship. People will no doubt differ AS &c
that, because what pleases one person
may not please another. Republicans
have always been inclined to re.
nominate their mayors provided they
! desired another term. but the great
majority Of the republican mayors
have only had one term, those serv,
ing the longest period In office were
when the term was one year. This

JITNEY LICENSES. 81 EACH.

It Is stated that the judiciary COM
inittee has dec','~s 20 pay. r"t attention
TO the Com amp" ~mand
for iitnev .lon. but 'eport
next week In favor Of state license
OF 81 for each car in use. There WHY
be no provision regarding overcrowd-
ing, and the ~jitney will-pe subjected
only to the automobile law which does
not permit of a local license. There
does not appear to be any reason for
alarm over the jitney; 1t is doing we'll
now where it Is being operated, out
there is a question as to now long IL
will continue. There are some tea-
lures to it which will in all probaoll-
nv Operate against it, but .that Is
matter which the patrons will have TO
work out for themselves. The trolley
company has probably erred, In taking
the stand 1t has and attempting to so
handicap 1t as to drive 1t out of bust
ress. When competition comes to any
enterprise 1t is difficult to stop 1t; the
best thing to do is to meet It with bet
tt.r service, and in the end the cor
pcrntion that serves It's patrons best
is the one that will succeed.
If the reports from the committee
room are to be relied upon, then the
judiciary committee has taken sen
sible stand upon the matter by refus-
:ag to 'accede to the wishes Of the troll
ley company The conditions might
be improved by leaving the entire
natter In the hands Of the local au-
thorities That, however, has not been
done, but the next best thing has and
IT will probably work as we'll as the
titney business demands. When a Jit-
ney owner becomes tired OF operating
his car he can stop and no harm will
be done; il he decides later to start
UP again ali he will need to do will
be to take out his license, fill up his
tank with gasolene and go to work. No
bond will be- required and there will
be no obstacle in the way Of his max

iitneying are willing to pay. There

College Expenses.
(New York Times.

A recent issue of tho Yale News
gives interesting statistics, including
data on expenses incurred by Yale
men during their college course. Tie
largest amount spent in one year By a
single man was $4,000, and this sum
was expended during freshman year.
The lowest amount spent by fresh
man during the year was $500. In
the sophomore yearaethe highest
amount was $4,000, the lowest again
$500. Junior year cost one man
$4,000 and another 5000. The largest
amount spent in senior year was
$1,000 and the smallest $3.50. The
average for the freshman and sopho-
more years was but little over $1,000
a year, and for the junior and senior
years something over $1,1o0.
The highest figures are extrava-
CANT, and so are the lowest. One
means immoderate spending of money,
the other immoderate spending of
time and strength. Unfortunately
the men who are SO keen for college
that they arc willing to forego all
the trimmings" for the sake of the
university experience arc those who
arc likely to suffer by self-imposed
economy, and of course are those who
least need the discipline. The col
lege wears are generous years. and
college men know better than outsiders
what their experience is worth not
only to themselves but to their com
panions. Since the opinions of the
students In various matters of custom
and government arc increasingly
! sought. II might be wise TO ask for
suggestions as to. equalizing. expedi.
ents that would prevent undue expen.
