PROPER REORGANIZATION

It cannot be expected that re- organization of the Federal gov ernment could be made to bring into balance excessive expendi- lures and insufficient revenue. But a very definite and tangible asset to federal taxpayers and prospec- tive new taxpayers might be made the result of proper reorganization within the bounds of tried funda- mental principles for economy and efficiency, for eliminati of waste fitness and extravaganza and du- plication in governmental activity and expenditures, for abolition of useless and overlapping agencies and functions.
 The current admission by our leaders that increased taxation is contemplated is sufficient reason for immediate reorganization for economy and efficiency, even If there were not others equally im- perative and equally obvious to all who take the trouble to look about themselves.
 The distressing thing about Fed- eral government reorganization is that it is not in progress at the mo-

Another Canal?

The Nicaragua Canal proposal bobs up again after long period of silence. Representative Izac of California has in- troduced a bill in Congress authorizing construction of waterway through that country, on a route which has the ap- proval of the Nicaraguan government. The job would cost $700, 000, nearly twice the first cost of the Panama Canal.
 It was perhaps political accident that this route wasn't followed in 1903. Senti- ment seemed to favor Nicaragua, until Senator Hanna turned the Senate to the IsthmuS. The latter route has been satis- factory, and still seems adequate; but the Strategists say single passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific is risky If the Panama locks were blown up by an enemy, or otherwise failed, our com merce would be seriously handicapped and our fleet might be trapped where it was useless in time of danger. Strategists say free passage for warships between the two oceans makes one fleet almost as useful as two would be without such waterway. A second canal, for insurance, might add ore-half to the present facili- ties. New problems on the Pacific, empha- sized by the present Japanese war, give fresh interest to the project.
 It would create employment, for mate rialS and work on the canal site, although most of the labor would probably have to be done by Nicaraguans, because of political and climatic problems. The pro- posal, so far, has no official support from the administration. Military and naval authorities are said to favor it.

Up To Now

Last fall state officials were quite en- thusiastic about the financial condition of Connecticut. They were polntlng out that the huge deficit was slowly pelng reduced. They boasted about the tact that the S14OOOO0O, to be raised by a bond issue, voted by the 1887 Legislature to retire the deficit wouldn't be needed At that time the deficit had dropped to about S12,OOO,OOO. A further boast was that bv June of 1888, when the deficit would actually be retired, 1t would be even less than the above figure. All or which was encouraging.
 But right now it appears as if state officials are just the opposite or What they were in the fall. Their feelings have congealed overnight. They are doing some shivering. And there isn't much said about what the deficit will be when it is actually paid off this year. In fact we haven't seen any figures quoted on It in two or three months. Right now Gov ernor Wilbur L. Cross is conferrlng daily with other officials on the condition ot Connecticut finances. He isn't an alarm iSt, but he wants to know the trend of the times.
 And it seems from his questions and his check-upS that relief costs are once more on the increase here in Connecticut Once before they upset our equilibrium and threw the ordinary processes of government out of order. They are quite apt to do it once more, unless the arrival of spring is accompanied by simultan- eous arrival of better times, more work, lower cost of living, etc. Finance Commis- Sioner Hall delivered himself last week of the somewhat disquieting remark, T am confident we can go through the fis- cal year ending June 30, 1888, all right. :" What of the following fiscal year?
 In way it is just as well that nothing will be done about retiring the deficit until the end of this current fiscal year. Had it been done this winter the problem might have been present again in an other year. It's hard, of course, to under stand why our governmental expenses mount so rapidly in the face of huge tax returns. But government is as expensive as living, so we are gradually finding out.

Literary Restraint

One of the remarkable things about Newton D. Baker, brilliant politician, reformer, statesman, lawyer, scholar, orator and war secretary, is that he never wrote book. Anyone familiar with MT. Bakers career can easily think of half dozen books he might have written that might have been best-sellers First of all would be his story of the greatest military mobilization in American history, and the historic campaign that broke Germany and compelled peace.
 Bakers hand was on every phase of that vast effort. Most of the facts were doubtless in his head when the war ended, and the rest were easily available But he went quietly back to his law practice, leaving the opportunity for others not so well equipped. He seemed entirely without vanity.
 With his rich experience, broad culture and vast range of information, he might have written great book about Tom Johnson, liberal mayor of Cleveland, whose disciple and assistant he was,

Out of Gas

There are times when it does seem as if the predominating trait of the American people must be plain absent-mindedness. Some enterprising statistician with flair for oddments of interesting but useless information has reported that no fewer than 1,50O,O00 motorists last year man. aged to get themselves stalled on the highway with empty gasoline tanks, and if that record can be due to anything but ordinary, everyday absent-mindedneSs, many persons would like to know what it is.
 Every car nowadays has gasoline gauge, perfectly visible to the driver at all times There are times when it seems as if every corner had a filling station. With that combination, it is hard to see how anyone ever gets stalled with an empty tank. Yet somehow we all do it-a mil lion and half of us, in one years time. We must be tolerably fighty people, in some ways.

All the Way on Taxes

Senator Carter Glass is sponsoring a law aimed to give the government some of the income which it now loses through tax-exempt bonds. His plan calls for an increase in taxes of man who holds such bonds; more exactly, it would require such a man to pay surtaxes on his total in- come, including interest from tax-exempt bonds
 This would considerably increase the flow of revenue to the government, and would provide neat and painless meth cd of getting at least part way around the tax-exempts.
 But while we are about it, why not go all the way and eliminate the tax-ex- empts entirely? That would take con- stitutional amendment, to be sure; but the job would be done once and for all, and it would be done right. If we are go- ing to tackle the problem at all we might as we'll go all the way with it.
