EW YORK has been a striking example of a city OPER-
: ATED BY POLITICAL RATHER THAN," BUSI
NESS METHODS. With a yearly revenue from taxation
and other ordinary sources of one hundred and fiftv million
dollars and with sixty thousand employees, New York until quite re
cently did not know how much it owed, while by placing the business
of the city on a basis of FAVORITISM RATHER : THAN COM
PETITION a loss has been entailed estimated from ten million to
twenty million dollars a year. " . ,
The experience of New York is not unique. The bonded indebt
edness of American cities as a whole is increasing much more rapidly
than municipal assets, and the taxes for operating expenses are be
coming MORE BURDENSOME EACH YEAR. In 1902 the
percentage of the revenue of all the cities in the country to' their debt
was 37.3. By 1909 this percentage had decreased to 25.9.
THE NET PUBLIC DEBT OF FORTY-NINE CITIE3. INCLUDING
NEW YORK, INCREASED 47J1 ' PER CENT FROM 1899 TO 190
WHILE DURING THE SAME PERIOD THE INCREASE
IN THE ASSESSED VALUATION OF ALL TAXABLE
PROPERTY .IN J THE8E CITIES ADVANCED BUT
12.68 PER CENT. IN "CITIES ABOVE THREE HUN
DRED THOUSAND IN POPULATION THE MUNIC
IPAL EXPENDITURES INCREASED 20 PER CENT
PER CAPITA FROM 1902 TO 1907. IF THIS ' IN
CREASE CONTINUES THE PRESSURE OF TAXA
TION WILL SOON BECOME INTOLERABLE AND
CREDIT EXHAUSTED.
Senator Aldricli gives it as his opinion that the
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT COULD SAVE
TliKEJS HUNDRED MTTTJON DOLLARS A
YEAR if it were conducted on a business basis and. managed as clev
erly and efficiently as a large corporation.
WHY NOT MUCK RAKE, PROBE AND REGULATE PUBLIC EX
PENDITURES FOR AWHILE? TO CORRECT THESE MANIFEST
EVIL8 WOULD LIFT A GREAT BURDEN FROM A PATIENT, LONQ
BUFFERING PEOPLE.

Thrills followed thrills as speeding automobiles' shot around tie 4
course of the Ingleside Race Course, on April 24th, la the second and 4
final day events of the successful meet promoted by the member nf 5

r Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfleld, with 2
his ;00 horsepower Bens machine, and C. O. King, with his Maxwell 5
30 horsepower stock car. Oldfleld lowered his previous record of one 5
mile to 61 6-6, which Is a new coast record for the circular track.
With the exception of this performance. Oldfleld had to take second'
place in the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat ' f
In both the five and fifteen mile handicap events, and In both raceai I
King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact. King proved the If
surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and 4
taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfleld. in f
the Ave mile handicap. Oldfleld drove his Knox racer to the utmost i
but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead away
from King. Not only in the handicap events did King and his Max- 2
well prove stars of the first order, but in one of the first events of the S
day, the five mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was 5
one of the bestmatches of the meet J

American Girl Queen of All.
By Count ANTOM SICRAY. Recently Married to MIm HARRIOT DALY. Dtughter
or me Late Mircui Daly. '
T is hard for a foreigner, no matter how praiseworthy his mo
tives or exalted his station, to set sail after an American girl.
! Immediately the cry of fortune hunting foreigner is raised.
It is a TRIBUTE TO THE BEAUTY AND BRAIN
OF THE AMERICAN GIRL that foreigners are willing to risk
even this danger to win her. In this point alone lies one of the most
infallihle proofs that the AMERICAN GIRL IS THE QUEEN
OF WOMEN THE WORLD OVER.-
