There is also ho1afy q atort 49O volumes and Fl syu nasium. The + gal public library is not very aet essi- ble and Is apparently not much used b. High school pupils.
 The school has room esTecialiy equipped for commercial work and m adequate supply Of typewfilsrs. The cooking and sewing departments are also well housed and supplied with equipment.
 A pressing ned of the school is a special room for,the work in biology and supply of materials and ap' paratus for this course. The construc- ton of the new trace school will prob ably make available for this purpose the room used for mechanical draw ing. Equipment is also needed for de- veloping the work in geography.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Democratic Failure In National Legis-
latiOn is Pronounced.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 16.-As bus
mess managers the Democrats have
been conspicuous failure.
1t has already been shown that the
three laws the last congress enacted
to RAISE MONEY, namely, the tariff,
income tax, and war tax" laws, each
failed to produce the amount needed.
A study of the record of laws enact
ed to SPEND MONEY shows that care
less methods of appropriation insured
wasteful expenditures.
Examine the history of appropria-
ton bills during the time the Demo-
cratic house has handled them, and
you find that fifteen regular appro-
priation bills have failed to pass be-
fore the necessary date, and that fif-
teen times a resolution extending the
appropriation of the previous year
had to be passed.
This method of appropriation is an
admission of incompetency and inef-
ficiency in itself 1t causes a tre-
mendous financial loss in the work of
every department of government 1t
complexities accounts, hinders the max
ing OF plans in advance, prevents the
execution of contracts for necessary
work, and prevents allotting funds
equitably for the different seasons of
the year.
A member of the present cabinet,
Secretary of Commerce William G.
Redfield, severely criticised congress
for this kind of extravaganza in his
last annual report.
Finally money loss arises from fail
ure to make appropriations in time to
keep the work of the government NOV
ing said Secretary Redfield "The
serious results of these latter losses
are probably not appreciated They
undoubtedly amount to more than
some of the economies thought to be
effected by clipping estimates"
In this connection it should not be
overlooked that during the sixteen
years of Republican control preceding
the present administration, the appro-
priation bills were invariably passed
before they were needed, and an ex-
tension resolution was never resort
ed to-
Two of this years great supply bills,
one appropriating funds for the post
office department and the other for the
Indian bureau, failed of passage last
March. All the work of preparing
estimates, planning new projects, and
the intelligent continuation of former
works has been absolutely wasted by
the failure of these bills. The affairs
of these two branches of government
must now be conducted under plans
nearly two years old which are abso-
lutely foreign to conditions at the pres
ent time A tremendous waste OF
time and money is inevitable, and the
service that should be rendered to
the public will be seriously impaired
Examples of the disastrous effects
these slovenly methods have had upor
various branches of governmental
work will be cited in articles to fol

true situation. / am informed the
