NO PROSPECT OF ECONOMY.

The submission of estimates by the
various departments of the Federal
Government encourages no hope OF
return to that simplicity and econ
omy which BELTS a democratic gov
eminent" which the Baltimore plat
form pledged. Every department
wants more money than was appro-
priated for 1916. although, after the
deficiency appropriations made neces.
sary by the failure of the last Con
gress to pass fifteen of the great sup
ply bills are voted, the expenditures
for the years 1915 and 1916 will eX'
coed any in the history of the govern
nlent. being $177 100000 more than
those of the last Republican Congress
whose "profiigate waste OF money
wrung from the people by oppressive
taxation" was denounced by the Bal
timore platform and by every Demo
crat of low or high degree throughout
the United States in the campaign OF
1912. The estimate for 1917 exceeds
that of any year except 1855.
The statement that the increase is
almost wholly due to the administra-
ton plans for military preparedness
is not true. The net military increase
is but $26,OO0,OOO and the net naval
increase but $70,000,000. This CON
stitutes only s96,0OO.Oo0 of the s17O,,
600. 900 increase over the extravagant
appropriations for 1916. Furthermore,
the estimates for some purposes are
too low. The postal service estimate
for 1917 is $10,000,O00 less than ex-
penditures for 1916. as reported by
the Treasury department. But then
the postmaster generals estimate is
always several millions below the ap'
rroDriation and there is usually an
additional deficiency to be cared for.
The legislative estimate is but little
over half that for last year. The few
decreases are more than balanced by
increases everywhere else. The Sixty
fourth will beyond question be known
as the most expensive Congress in
the history of the government.

THE HAGUE, Jan. 24-An exhaus-
tive study of the cost of the European
war has just appeared in the Berlin
vorwaerts, socialist newspaper.
The military expenditures of the
British empire are given as about
$4,250. 900 per day or $637 10000 up
to January first. The cost of the
war to France up to Dec. 10, 1914, is
given as s1,2ss, 100000 or. difference
in time considered, more than twice
the amount spent by Great Britain.
Taking the Russian expenditures to
November 15 as a basis, it Is shown
that the Russian campaign has so far
cost $s,200,00O per day or 1880, OO0.-
900 up to Jan. LIST. The expenditures
of the Belgian, Servian and Japanese
governments are given as about ST.
100000 per day, or roundly $240,000,-
900 up to January list.
The figures also show that it costs
the Allies ,$2.O5 per day to keep a
man in the field.
No detailed amounts are given in
relation to the cost of the war to
Germany and Austro-Hungary The
statement is made, however, that the
cost for the two is $21 200, 900 per day,
or $3.50, 100000 up to January first.
Adding the expenditures of all the
nations at Wharf.-The daily total is about
$45,962, O00,and the total up to Jan.
first, s6,s94, 100000.
1t is pointed out by the Vorwaerts
that from the French total expendi-
lures so far made must be taken the
following loans: To Belgium, $50,0O0,-
900; to Servta, $16,OO0,OOo; to Greece,
$4,000,000; and to Montenegro, $780,
900, or total of $70,100,oO0, which
would make the amount spent by the
French government in military opera
lions 81 ,416, 100000 by the close of
1914
For a year the European war
would on this basis cost the tremend-
GUS sum of s16,676, 10000. Making
an allowance for the cost of mobiliza-
ton, but keeping in mind that the
sending of new troops into the field
is in effect lesser phase of mobili-
cation, it will still be found that at
the end of year the powers at war
would have spent at least $16,500,000,-
300.
In this sum are not included the

have SO far been obtainable; but the
prevails that together this
would be no less than $1,400. 100000,
To the cost of the European war
must also be added the mobilization
expenditures of Holland, Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, Roumania, Bulgaria,
the cost of the Turkish operations;
the losses in naval craft; deteriation
of war materials and the economic
losses due to a general disturbance
of the worlds commercial relations.

LIABILITY LAW ISN'T

Judge shute Holds That Act Does Not

The Arizona liability law does not
cover negligence and action under
the Lord Campbell act is not pos

pensatfon law is specifically waived

ing made this week in the superior
court here by. Judge G. W. Shute
who said that the two points in
volved were the most important that
had come before him in the time
he has been on the bench.
The ruling was made in the case
of Belle Behringer, administrators of
the estate of Fred Behringer, against
the Inspiration Consolidated Copper
company. Behringer was killed on
the cage in the Scorpion shaft of
the Inspiration mine and his admins
tratrix asked for $4,000 damages.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torneys Norman j. Johnson and
George R. Hill.
Attorney Edward W. Rice, repre-
senting the Inspiration, demurred to
the complaint and his demurrer was
sustained. The defense commended
that the complaint was made under
