The Enormous Estimates
lFrom the New York sun }

The greatly increased cost Of Gov
ernment in the fiscal year to come is
indicated by the swollen estimates
now submitted to Congress.
The total Of the department esd-
mates is more than a billion and a
quarter At the last session the ac-
tual appropriations exceeded the es-
tiinates by about S152,500. .0o0. If ap-
preparations at this session should
go as far as that beyond est mates>the
stupendous total would be s141TO00,
900. or thereabout
This is $122,O00000 more than the
nations expenditures during the last
year of the Civil War. when we had
a million men under arms and the
War and Navy Departments alone
cost the country S1,150OO0,000. u is
nearly six times the total annual ex-
penditure of the United States forty
years ago in the year OF peace 1877,
including the item Of about 100000
600 Of interest on the war debt
The foregoing comparisons viii

appalling increase in the cost Of Fed

First, there has seldom been in po-
litical history a more miserable fali-
ure than that Of the Democratic party
to redeem the distinct pledge or It's
platform Of 1912:
I'VE denounce the profligate waste
Of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the law
lsh appropriations Of recent Repubh-
can Congresses which have kept tax
es high and have reduced the pur-
chasing power Of the peoples toll. we
demand a return 90 that simplicity
and economy which BELTS a Demo-
cratic Government, and reduction
in the number Of useless offices, me
salaries OF which drain the substance
Of the people"
Secondly. so far as the enormous
increase OF expenditure under Demo-
cratic rule represents honest meas
ures in the direction Of military pre-
paredness for national defence there
will not be grumbling in any patriotic
quarter. The people are ready TO
stand the cost with entire satisfac-
ton and to pay the bills with alac-
rity But this readiness does not
cover that continued and increasingly
pTofligate waste of money IN lavish
appropr ations for other and unneces-
sary purposes. There is stern reck-
oning allead for the party violating
year after year the promises on which
it attained to power, wasting in profli-
gate expenditure money wrung from
the people by oppressive taxation and
keeping taxes high and reducing the
purchasing power OF their toll.
The people still demand a return
to that simplicity and economy which

form and less expensive 70 the rail

"The greatest obstacles to adequate
railroad regulation in the United
states, however is the fact that the
work is done by both Federal and
state authorities. AS long as this
method OF regulation continues. IL will
be virtually impossible to adjust rail-
way rates so that the interests OF
both the railroads and their patrons
will be adequately protected
Ellis Parker Butler opposes local
or state regulator Of all nationwide
industries, as obnoxious and unfair"
Referring 10 the fact, that, at one
time, State regulation did not con-
flict with Federal railroad regulation.
because there was no Federal regu
tat'on,' he says
with the creation OF Federal regu-
lation and the proof that It is work
able, and as just as any regulation
may be, the State regulation became
mere redundancy-an obsolescent
anachron ism-as useless as the grass
hopper legs on the very early locomo-
tives and as liable to ills as vermi-
form appendix.
THE more regulators the more
chances for railway scalp-hunting
Responsible Federal regulation, un-
complicated by State regulation, would
tend to obviate this.
THE proper regulation OF railways
is such vital part of the problem OF
national economic efficiency and a
dual system Of regulation is liable to
so many faults, it is inevitable that,
unless the present condition can be
remedied by sole Federal regulation,
either by Federal Incorporation or
otherwise, the railways must become
a Federal property"

DR.. Aked Comes for Fateful
Conference With MIR. Ford.

The Times was deeply impressed with
its interview with Dr. Charles +. Aked
upon the European situation published
upon MS arrival in Detroit, and feels that
it gavA> evidence Of wide knowledge, Of
sound judgment and of courage to look
Gisconcerting facts in the face.
Or. Aked has discussed the war and
possible terms of peace with responsible
statesmen of Germany and of Russia.
He comes direct from the Pentecost Of
Calamity" and speaks from tirSt-hand
knowledge.
Pending Mr.. Ford's decision on ques-
tons to be submitted TO him by DR.. Aked
at a conference between these two gem
tlemen tomorrow. a detailed plan Of fu-
ture operations is withheld from the
press, but enough has been gathered from
conversations with this ambassador Of
peace to justify our confidence in DR..
Aked's views.
They strike us as eminently sane.
There is nothing Utopian or dreamfu
in them.
They are the plan of daring and origi-
nal thinker who has had business train
ing and who has had the good fortune 10
be associated for many years with some
of the largest commercial transactions on
two continents
DR.. Aked's international experience has
especially fitted him for the great work
which Mr. Ford has entrusted to him, and
! if now Mr.. Ford approves his project for
continuing Cancellation there is substan-
tial reason for believing that the ideal
ism. courage and generosity of the multi
millionaire will be justified by achieve
ments which will give him the desire of
his heart and an enduring place in the
history of mankind.
The Times, as peace propOnent, would
be greatly pleased to see Dr. Aked return
70 Europe with authority from Mr.. Ford
to carry out his eminently reasonable and
statesmanlike plans.
And il will watch with keen interest
the early unfolding of the same, should
the interview with Mr.. Ford turn out
auspiciously, as it trusts and believes will
be the case.
