The party, on the contrary, has a greater incentire to play a careful, eteady game because any other Hind will tend to Jeopardise public confi dence In the party's capacity to carry responsibility safely. , This conflict of forces, both in the National committee meeting and in the maneuvers in congress explains most of the democratic activities it the moment. The trouble comes from two direc tions. First, the voripus potential presidential candidates and their friends are jockeying for position, 'which seta up cross-currents that in evitably endanger party harmony. to sooner do the republican insurgents begin to talk in stage whispers about etarting a third party again than aup porters of Governor Irsnklin l. Roosevelt, aa for instance Senator DiU, democrat, Washington, seised upon this talk to declare that only Roosevelt's nomination can win the liberal vote for the democrats. Second, the newly enthroned demo cratic leaders in the house are broad casting personal views on touchy is sues revealing inside difference. The democratic aenste leader, Joseph T. Kobinson, recently warned against addling an excessive tax burden on large Incomes while the democratic 'bouse leader, Henry T. Ilainey, de clared for a policy which republicans are describing as a "soak the rich" plan. Conflicting views as to tariff revision have been voiced. The result is that Hpenker Gnrner Is now seek ing to smother auch individual ex pression until the democrats can agree on party policy. ...

The fire and police pension fund was hnnkrunt to the tune of $2,000,000 there were insufficient funds in the budget to operate the city; there was a shortage of nine, scboolhouses; bridges and atreeta were In disrepair: no nlsvarounds for the children in brief, much the same conditions that now face every other large city. The first step was to check the borrowing habit. The first Socialistic administration In 1010 discontinued Issuing bonds for the city's share pi slroot Improvements. The secoud step was to stop Issu ing bonds for annually recurring expenses. Instead, tlio city levied a cash tin. ..' A scientific budget system wnt established to proveut waste of tax moneys. Under this plan the clly officials must estimate the amounts needed to operate their departments. The board of estimates compares the thonsanda of Items with the amounts spent the previous year, reduces these estimates, and adopts the budget. Thereupon a tax rate is fixed. Every department la held within Its estlmste. Now, Instead of an annual deficit there la an annual surplus. A central purchasing board ays tematlses all city buying and eaves 10 per cent thereby.

As a result we are able to pay cash for our materials snd to our contrac tors and many thousands of dollars annually are saved in interest and discounts alone. e e AH cities are staggering under the load of their bonded debt. Milwaukee worked out an amortization fund which will, within R0 years, he suffl clently largo to psy off all our public debt, thus reducing the tax rate SS per thousand. How was the fund established? It la the habit of cltlea to deposit tax money In banks which nay two per cent or less. A Milwaukee So cialist alderman proposed thst the city Invest these moneys In T'nlted States or good municipal bonds draw log three to five per cent. The city's lnteret funds Increased enormously. After these sums accumulated, a state law wss passed providing that half the fund be placed for an amor tisation. The fund thus Increased annually and l now $3,000,000.

Jan. 8.- With Japan and China formally noti fied by the Washington government that it cannot recognne legality of ih .in, Minn in South Manchuria cre ated by Japanese military occupation of Chinchow, international tension as to developments in me unrui tightened todoy. but with no indication what the next move might be. Washington has invoked the nine power treaty negotiated in this ciiy In 11)21-2 to protect China's terri torial and administrative integrity, at the some time citing the open door policy in China and the Kcllogg Briand anti-war pact. All American treaty righte under these commitments were reserved. The note to the Chinese and Japanese government, added this government would not recognise either any "de facto" situation in Manchuria nor any future Sino-Japanese treaty not obtained by methods in strict accord with these existing international agreements. In view of Secretary Stimaon a pre liminary conversations with ambassa dors' of the British, French. Italian and other powers signatory to the nine-power trenty, Bimilar action by those governments In reserving all rights In Manchuria nppears probable. The treaty itself pavea the way for such action. To what lengths Washington may be prepared to go In backing up its Biipport of the treoties It has cited has not been indicated In any informed qunrtcrs. It Is obvious, however, thot the Washington government hopes its efforts will deter Japan from any policy of mnking more per manent the extra-treaty steps already taken in South Manchuria. The American note also probably will serve to stiffen resistance by CHILD VICTIMS OF NURSE!

U.R Tho state department has received a flood of protests from Americans in Manchuria against interference with their business by the Japanese. -Thia condition was an important factor in Secretory Stimson's decision to re state America's open door policy.
