"The Middle West." he said. ls a great

OP.EOONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Dec. s. Although pressure has
been brought to bear to secure tha
appointment of J. N. Teal, of Portland
aa Judge on tha new Court of Com
merce. It la apparent from statements
made by Representative' tills after
his conference with President Taft to
day that the Oregon man Is not likely
to be selected. Tha California aeie-
gatlon now In Washington Is making
every effort to Induce the President
to place on this court franklin tv
Lane of that atate. who Is now a mem
ber of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and persistent rumor has It
that Lane will be chosen. If so. no
other Pacific Coast man will go upon
this court.
Representative Poindexter, of Wash
ington. Is opposing Lane's appointment
becauss he does not want . him to leave
the Commission while the Spokane rate
case and the allied eases are still un
decided. Lane, however, possesses
rare qualifications for the place,
and. moreover. Is a Democrat,
and Inasmuch as the President
seema determined to place two Demo
crats on the court, so as to mate It
non-partisan. It seems quite likely that
Lane will crowd out all other Pacific
Coast candidates.
Lan personally Is not making a
fight, being content with his present
office, but It Is now understood that
he will accept the Judgeship if it Is
tendered, notwithstanding that the
salary Is only J7400, where ha now
receives II 0.000. The Judgeship, how
ever. Is s life position and the com
mlsstonershtp Is not.
Representative Ellis' talk with the
President was very brief. He said,
when he left the White House, that he
did not believe any Republican from
the Pacific Coast would be selected.
He Is of the opinion that Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane, a Dem
ocrat, of California, will be named and.
If so, no other Coast man can expect
to go on the court. The President
proposes to select three Republicans
and two Democrats for this court.

"The main building Is now nearly full."
said Mayor Rodgera. "and there are suf

still some money In the building fund,
there Is not sufficient for any new build

PICS DECLARED
MATTER OFCHOICE
Government Can Prevent Up
heavals if It Will, Declares'
Secretary MacVeagh.
PRESENT SYSTEM BLAMED
Abolition of Red Tape Recommend
ed 1n Annual Report Foreign
Banks Necessity for Upbuild
ing of Trade Abroad.
WASHINGTON. Dec. g. Currency re
form, extension of the scope of the Na
tional banking laws. In the event of no
Immediate general changes In the mon
etary system; Civil Service retirements,
a Customs Service free from "practical"
politics; businesslike methods In the
dally transactions ot the Government
and a general abolition of red tape
wherever lt clogs the wheels of the
Government's business, are among the
recommendations contained In the an
nual report of Franklin MacVeagh,
Secretary of the Treasury, presented to
Congress today.
The expenses of Government In the
fiscal year 1912, for which this session
of Congress Is asked to appropriate,
are estimated at t6no.494.013.12. The
estimated expenditures of the Panama
Canal are given as $56. 9;o. 847.69, mak
ing a total of I6S7.414.660.SI. The es
timates. If carried out.- represont net
savings of about 113.000,000 In the ex
ecutive departments, as compared with
the appropriations for the current fis
cal year.
Surplus Is Promised.
Receipts for 191S. Secretary Mac
Veagh estimates, will be f68v.000.000,
which would leave an ordinary sur
plus of around $50,000,000. If the
Treasury should continue to pay for
the Panama Canal out of the cash
drawer, as at present, such a surplus
would be turned to a deficit of 17.414,
860.81. Secretary MacVeagh expresses the
hope that the monetary question will
come Into Congress detached from sec
tional or political consi.ieratlons.
"Our system can fairly be called a
panic-breeding system," he says,
"whereaa every other great National
banking and currency ayatetn Is panic
preventing. As long as we continue
under our present system, we are liable
to panics, and the vast depredations of
panlca reach Republlcana and Demo
crats and all parts of the country alike.
Panics are no longer necessary and no
longer respectable. It is for the Gov
ernment to say whether we shall have
panics in the future or not. It Is a
mere matter of choice.
System Prevents Reserves.
"We have no system of reserves. Our
banking system destroys them. It con
centralas In New York what sre pre
tended to be reserves and then forces
the New York banks to lend and abol
lah them. Our aystem. Instead of
building- up a reserve, destroys It as
fast aa It incllnea to accumulate."
The Secretary - renews the recom
mendations made last year for legisla
tion to tax the new canal bonds at 1 4
per cent If used by National- banks
for circulation, and Intimates that it
might be more preferable to Issue the
new securities for Investment purposes
only at the rate of i per cent.
As a check against the use of the
bonds as a basla for the further In
flation of the National bank currency,
he auggeats that a circulation tax of
even 2 per cen would have the effect
of making them unprofitable for banks
to 'use for such a purpose and at the
same time would make them attrac
tive to Investors without Injuring the
3 per cent bonds, of which more than
$700,000,000 are outstanding. Another
means of accomplishing the same end.
the Secretary suggests, would be for
Congress to authorize an issue of $50,
000.000 or $100,000,000 of the bonds at
3 per cent, without the circulation
provision. .
"There Is a clear need of banking
facilities in foreign countries where
there is American commerce." "he says.
"We shall never be a full-fledged com
mercial Nation," he continues, "unless
we have merchant ships of our own and
foreign banks of our own."
Travelers Stop Smuggling.
The rehabilitation of the Customs
service at New York has been marked.
"American travelers are more and
more realizing the meaning of smug
gling. Its rank dishonesty and bad ex
ample and Influence," says the report.
Recommending a study of the clas
sified system of employes, the Secre
tary declares that a civil service re
tlrement Is absolutely the requisite of
a satisfactory system. He strongly
recommends that all non-polltlcal of
fices be Included In the classified
service.
As the economies of administration
which have been Injected In the Treas
ury Department are reviewed, the Sec
retary pauses to take notice of a state
ment made by a United States Sena
tor that the business of the Govern
ment could he conducted with a saving
of f .100,000.000 a year. He says:
"The popular belief as to the extent
of economies in the executive depart
ments Is singularly exaggerated and
this misconception Is very harmful.
When the public expects that the Gov
ernment can save f300.00O.o00 a year,
such small, laborious savings as can
be made In the executive departments
hardly seem worth while.
Saving Not Easy.
"When It is the fact that the entire
ordinary expenses of the Government
last year were less than fb60.000.000.
and when a great part of tnee ex
pendltures Is not reducible at all. as
for example the Interest on the debt
and the pensions, one csn readily see
that there probably Is not very mucrt
more than f .100.000.000 gross left on
which to save f .100.000.000. Now, to
effect a saving or f 300.000.000, when
the whole expenditures amenable to
any saving Is $300,000,oon, is. or course
not easy. I appeal to the sense of
proportion of Congress' and. the Amer
ican people.
Superfluous custom-houses, mints and
assay offices should be abolished, the
report says. There Is an over-supply
of the latter, and the mints In San
Francisco. Denver and Philadelphia are
not fully employed? The secreiary
also promises to send to Congress a
list of custom-houses which he says
are no use under tne sun.
