That illustrates one of the things
such a board would do. Other
duties are suggested in the pro-
vision for a city planning board in

of the National Municipal League.
The board is TO keep itself inform

the movement OF traffic, "the con-

Is it good business to construct per-
improvements by n bond issue,
or by direct taxation?
Based upon a loan of $500, 100000,
the interest charges and State tax,
for period of thirty years, amount
to S2OS, 100000. This means that the
city pays on an average of So,

Wv anna canal closed, all the world
w knew it. Now that it has been
reopened with a better prospect of re-
naming so than ever before. the fact
is scarcely realized away from the
zone. Three ships of the United
States Navy passed through the big
waterway in March and since that
time regular commercial traffic has
been resumed.
1t is a notable fact that although
ged perceptibly when the slides block
ed its channel the shipping never lost
faith in 1t for moment. All through
the period of dredging, vessels kept
coming to Colon and Balboa, ready to
wait for a passage through the canal
If the zone government would give
them any assurance. But the officials
would make no promise and the ships
went their long way via the Straits
of Magellan. When at last the canal
was announced to be open, there were
vessels waiting. Also the South
American Steamship company, oper-
ating between Panama and Chile
which gets most of its business
through the canal, has increased its
fleet from three vessels to five, and
now schedules five sailings in six
weeks.
So the shipping world has kept its
faith in the canal, and meantime, the
canal government, by means of its
little railroad, has done it's best to
handle the business across the 18TH
mus. A dozen big lines have been
wholly dependent on the Panama rail-
road, and they have been fairly we'll
served, though not without a terrific
straining of resources. The force of
the railroad was increased by a thou
sand men, and it was run to capacity.
1t might have handled regular through
business fairly well, but a great deal
of cargo was delivered at the Atlantic
terminals, to be trans-shipped when

TINE Democrats of the Senate have
again given proof of their de
votion" to the principles of
civil service reform by refusing to
provide that the employees of the pro-
posed land bank board shall be taken
from the certified list. They have
provided, however that these en-
ployes, once appointed without exam
ination, may be covered into the classi-
fed service by executive order.
We can foresee the procedure. If
the bill passes, a lot of Democratic
henchmen will be given good jobs un-
der it; and about the first of next
March, Just before Wilson leaves the
White House, he will issue a procla-
nation covering all these deserving
Democrats into the protection of the
civil service rules
