I Washington, I. C. Representative

"The Sherman law." said Mr. Stan

prevent a con! mine or a factory from
owning a railroad, but there is a law
to prevent the railroad from owning

"Holding companies are the burglar

TAFT WOULD PAY
Sinking Fund Would Clear Ob
ligation In 20 Years.
Iludget System Proposed for Nation
Declare Congress Should
Have Gross Figures.
Washington, I). C Proposing to
provide for extinguishing the national
debt. President Taft in his budget
message to congress, said that the
plan of adjuating expenditure to rev-
enuea would be of great benefit In the
i consideration of appropriation bills
' and added that the United States, in
consequence of being the only great
nation that did not use the budget sys
tem, wa without plan or program.
Soma of the advantage of the system
he indicated as follows:
A means of locating responsibility
for estimates in keeping with reve
nue. A means of allowing congress to see
how much gross it will have to spend
before it begins appropriating for
each department or detail of govern
ment machinery.
Recause it would furnish congress
and the public with ready reference to
report and detailed records of ac
count. To cancel the nation's debt, through
a sinking fund, and to eliminate the
deficit, which is slowly growing.
The president promises legislation
which would wipe out the national
debt in 20 year after July 1, 1914.
Congres should set aside $45,000,000
annually for the purpose. That would
be $15,000,000 a year less than the
present amount required by law.
That fund should be invested in 3 per
cent government bonds and in 20 years
the $1,160,000,000 debt, the president
says, would be retired.
The adoption of a definite theory is
recommended for future proposals for
internal improvements, so that such
improvements would be in accord with
a well-thought-nut plan. In that con
nection the president suggested the
saving of the rent paid in Washington
for buildings used by the government,
by the construction of new buildings,
to cost altout $100,000,000 to be paid
for through a period of 20 years.
"Briefly stated," wrote the presi
dent, "my suggestion is that the gov
ernment first plan for it land pur
chases., buildings and public works,
then borrow money to acquire and to
construct them, proportioning the cost
over a period of 20 years, and making
the bonds issued to meet the cost pay
able out of an adequate sinking fund."
Of a reduction of the salary roll of
the government amounting to about
$6,500,000 annually, two-third, the
president declared, would be saved by
adopting hi scheme to classify what
are now presidential appointments.
Almost $3,000,000 annually could be
kept In government coffers through
poKtoffice department changes.
Flimination of waste in the distri
bution of public documents; reduction
of the number of United States assay
ollices and possibly the number of
mints and their consolidation into one,
are other recommendations.
TO INSURE CANAL EMPLOYES
Government Will Compensate Men
Injured at Work.
Washington, I). C. A carefully
drawn system of compensation for
persona injuries of Panama canal em
ployee ia embodied in an executive
order promulgated by President Taft,
taking effect March 1. The Panama
canal act. passed last August, directed
the president to provide the method
for adjusting the claim of employes.
Every canal employe and family de
pendent upon him is insured against
the result of injuries received in the
course of hia work, without reference
to questions of contributory negligence
or any of the other restrictive rules of
the common law limiting the liability
of the employer In such cases.
Lady Ruga to Save Crops.
Sacramento, Cal. Thirty-six mil
lion lady bugs have been captured and

aphis, devastating insects that destroy
the new vines. Hopgrower will get
some of the insects this year, as well
aa melongrowers. Field Agent Brani
gan is catching ladybugs now near Col
fax. Collections have been made in
Napa and Placer counties.
W. D. Haywood Recalled.
New York In a nation-wide vote
of all the dues-paying members of the
party, William D. Haywood, head of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
haa been recalled from the national
executive committee of the Socialist
party. John N. Work, national sec
retary of the party, said that the
count showed 22.500 votes against
j Haywood and 1000 for him. Utter
