Secretary Cortelyou's decision to
postpone the second Issue of Panama
canal bonds: and to pay the construc
tion bill for the next fiscal year out of
the current revenues raises an inter
esting question .as to what proportion
of the cost of the Isthmian waterway
should be borne by this generation,
which cannot hope to participate in
the benefits of the canal, and what
share should be borne by the Ameri
cans of the future. Unfortunately,
Secretary Cortelyou, who is a man of
few words, has not taken the public
into his confidence as to whether the
money to be expended in canal con
struction for the coming year will be
paid outright and Anally from the
treasury surplus or shall be used as a
temporary financial expedient, to be
returned to the government from the
proceeds of future sales of Panama
bonds. Mr. Cortelyou's only state
ment on that point Is that he does not
believe "the bonded indebtedness
of the country Bhould be increased at
this time for the purpose of paying the
cost of current work on the Panama
canal."
The entire theory of bonded Indebt
edness, national, state or municipal, is
that the cost of Improvements for
which bonds are issued should be
shared by the future participants in
the benefits of such improvements. On
that theory, the cost of the construc
tion of the Panama canal should bo
covered by bond Issues, payable at a
uiure ume. iiiib ymn, uuhctdi, uao
not been iouowea in me construction
of the Panama waterway. In the last
four years, the government has paid
more than $100,000,000 direct from
Its current revenues for Panama ex
penditures, while bonds have been Is
sued for only $30,000,000, so that up
to date, the present has been taxed for
$3 for every $1 that has been assessed
against the future.
The secretary of the treasury has
been forced, however, to talve some
action to relieve the treasury surplus
of Its unwleldiness. The surplus for the
fiscal yearwhich will end with next
Saturday, will be about $80,000,000,
and the treasury will have, on July 1,
a cash balance' of about $240,000,000.
All estimates Indicate another surplus
for the fiscal year ending In June,
1908, and Secretary Cortelyou natur
ally feels It Incumbent upon him to
limit this vast accumulation of funds
In the treasury vaults. The question
Is one which must command the at
tention of congress, which 1b the
proper authority to determine what
part of the Panama canal construc
tion shall be paid from current reve
nues and what part paid by those
who will draw . benefit dividends
from the operation of the great
lnteroceanlc waterway. It Is gratify
ing, of course, and a reflex of the na
tion's prosperity tp have" Bu'ch a vast
surplus In the national cash box, but
It would seem to be only fair that this
should be used, for the most part, in
project like Improvement of inland
waterways,' extension of rural delivery,
construction of public buildings that
promise a more immediate return, In
stead of calling upon the taxpayer of
the day to make such liberal gifts to
the future.

Frank A. Vanderllp, former assist
ant secretary of the treasury and now.
active head of one of the largest banks
In New York city, U out with a warn
ing against socialistic tendencies and
unfair legislation affocting the busi
ness Interests of the country. In an
address before the Virginia State
Bankers' association at Norfolk, Mr,
Vanderllp declared that unless fair
and reasonable laws are enacted deal
ing with railways the wave of prosper
ity will be checked and Industrial de
pression and disaster may follow. Af
ter declaring that the ' public mind
had been Inflamed to the danger point
by false charges against railway man
agers, and its confidence shaken with
out Just cause, Mr. Vanderllp said:
If we are to have leglalatlon baaed upon
political advantage. If we are to adopt
socialistic theories which will amount to
the confiscation of property rights. If we
are to have reprlaal for past wrongs, no
matter how real. If action la the on thing
wanted first, and the consideration of the
Intelligence and fairness of such action Is
I to Com afterward, then I 'believe It la
j possible that the whole business structure
j b facing a danger, the proportion of
wnlch wln "u"d h h; l
figures aa nave been the totals that bar
marked th. extent of our nrosnerltv.
Like many other financiers who
have been viewing the situation
through Wall street glasses, Mr. Van
derllp has mistaken the mind and
temper of the people and their atti
tude toward the railways. Just at this
time the people of the -country are In
unusually good humor. There Is no
antl-rallroad sentiment., of the kind
Mr. Vanderllp Imagines. Some time
ago, prior to the passage of the fed
eral rate law, the people learned that
the railway managers who had shown
an all-encompassing genius In the de
velopment and management of the
railroads, were making the mistake of
thinking that they owned not only the
roads but the government as well,
and that the patrons and stockholders
had no courern In them. Then the
people set about to correct the erro
neous Impression- of the men who were
paying more attention to the railroad
stocks on Wall street than they were
to rolling stock on the railroads. Con
gress and th legislatures of many
states worked on a co-operative basis
In accomplishing this rVform and the
result promises to be satisfactory to
the people. Under the enforcement of
the new rate bill and some of the
measures adopted by the slate legisla
tures, the abuses of which shippers
and patrons complained most have
been abolished or are la a fair way to
be remedied. The railroads are bear
ing up under the change remarkably
well. They are doing more business
than ever before and the weekly re
ports of both gross and net earnings
show increases nnequaled In the his
tory of railway transportation In
America. The confidence of the In
vestors Is returning and railway se
curities are getting their share of fa
vorable attention In the money mar
kets. And the people, whose alleged
socialistic tendencies are worrying Mr.
Vanderllp, are not worrying, but pre
paring for renewed accomplishments
In tho development of the nation's re
sources. Mr. Vanderllp ought to take
a trip through the west and keep bis
eyes open.
A SKEDLK9S LCXVRT.
An advertisement by the postmaster
of the House of Representatives at
Washington throws some light upon
the value of "perquisites" that attach
to the office of a member of congress.
The advertisement In question calls for
proposals "for carrying all malls and
mailable matter of the House of Rep
resentatives to and from the city post
office, and to and from the respective
residences of the memberB of the
House of Representatives, and for
such other services connected with the
House malls as may be required by
the postmaster of the House of Repre
sentatives." This service is an expensive one, In
a way, and Is wholly unwarranted. It
la a congressional perquisite. It Is of
no financial value to the congressmen
but a decided sop to his vanity to have
his mall delivered by a special mes
senger Instead of by the carrier who
serves the plain people. There are
886 memberB of the House and 90
Senators. Their residences, even if
they are In boarding houses, are
marked several times a day by visits
of the handsomely painted wagons of
the "Post Office of the House of Rep
resentatives" and the members' bills,
letters and social invitations are de
livered by a special representative of
the United Statea government.
The poetal service in the city of
Washington is especially good. The
city postofflce Is particularly well
equipped and furnished by a liberal,
congress with every facility for prompt
and frequent delivery of mail to all
residents of the district. The post
offices at the capltol are branches of
the city office and there is no good
reason why the mall of members
should not be handled in the regular
way, through the regular channels.
The special service la a needless lux
ury. 1RCVMTEST1KO THE PRIMARY IAVT
The first muddle under the new Ne
braska direct primary law has been
precipitated down at Lincoln, where
members of the local bar association,
In order to circumvent the law, have
assumed to themselves the function of
making nominations for all Judicial
offices in advance of the primary elec
tion. . Of course, any association or group
of men has a perfect right to agree
among themselves upon preferred
candidates for office and to proclaim
the choice far and wide with a view to
influencing other people.' But the
bar has' no more indefeasible right to
name candidates" for Judges than have
the butchers, the bakers or the candle
stick makers. The pretense that the
lawyers, because they represent their
clients in litigation, are alone qualified
fo select Judges for the people has
about as much foundation In fact as
would a claim that the hoboes and
vagrants should be allowed to select
the police Judge because they, of all
members of the community, are most
directly concerned. The value of a
bar endorsement of a candidate for
Judge, however. Is of minor concern.
In the long run the candidate must
stand on hla own qualifications and
deserts. A bar endorsement might
help a good candidate, but It Is not
likely to save a weak or a corrupt one.
On the other Bide, however, the Ju
dicial ticket pulled off by the bar In
Lincoln approaches the danger line.
The only excuse for Independent ac
tion of the bar Is the professed desire
to secure a nonpartisan Judiciary and
its action la determined by republicans,
democrats and prohibitionists partlcl
cating alike. In this case all the
nominations were conceded to the re-
nuhllrana although If the selection Of
publicans, aitnougn me selection oi
Judges were to be divorced ironi pon
tics In this fashion there Is no good
reason why political lines should be
drawn at all.
Presumably, the candidates en
dorsed by democratic lawyers are to
file their names for nomination In re-
publican primaries. If the selections
are really nonpartisan they should be
filed also for nomination In the demo-
iucu " 1W,. .u
cratlc primaries. The possibility then
arises of a republican being accepted
by the democrats but rejected by his
own party, and being required to run.
i . n os iliimnrritli nominee in
opposition to the republican nominee.
It this is the way It works out and
such an outcome in one or more ln
atancea la not Improbable bar en-
dorsemonts will not command a very
high premium thereafter.

It was once the .'.'universal custom"
in this state for the sheriff to pocket

will no longer stand for that custom.
They insist that the sheriff be content
with the liberal allowance to which
the law entitles him.

THE JtATIOt'g PHOUPKBITY,
Indications of taother Year of th
Record-nrenklnar t laaa.
To demonstrate what little foundation
exists for pr-SBtmlatlc assertion emanating
from the captains of special Intpresta liu
parted by state and federal power, tho '
New York correspondent of the Philadel
phia Press reviews present conditions and
the conclusions they warrant. He says:
If the corn harvest of the fall of 1W7 I
approximately what the record In bushel
was last year, then It may bo assumed that
In all the I'nlted States aa.many bushels
of corn will be harvested as the aggregate
In dollars of our International commen-o
for ths year ending June 30. Nobody csn
tell at present how many bushels of corn
will be harvested next fall. The presump
tion la that the total will aggregate about
S,ai0,tK,fluft. From Washington come Infor
mation today telling of the aggrerat In
ternational commerce In dollars for twelve
months, beginning with June 1 last year of
the atupendoua volume which e?,IOO,0,X),Ooo
represent.
Less than five years ago some of the
transportation managers of the 1'nlied
States ventured the prediction at an an
nual gathering of these men that before
the year 1910 our International commerce
would In dollars be as much aa H.OOO,
OOe.OiiO. But that waa thought an
exaggerated estimate. It waa supplemented
by another which ventured th prediction
that by the year 1910 It would be dlsooverel
that out exports of manufactured pro
ducks were at least 40 per cPnt of the en
tire exports In money values. Some who
are fond of delving Into statistics sought
the public prints, especially the commer
cial publication papers, ao that thev might
demonstrate the aophlstry and Inaccurate
reasoning that were In these predictions.
At the same time, there came from Ku
rope woeful prognastlcatlona. asserting
'that In the United States speculation waa
rampant, men were money mad and dollar
frentled, that credit waa bloated and thnt
would Involve ultimately collapse. A day
or two ago one of the vice presidents of the
First National bunk of thla city said for
publication, In an Interview cabled from
London, that he had learned In the month
in which he had been In England that
there prevailed an amaslng lack of Infor
mation respecting tho natural resources of
the United Statea, the development of them,
and that there also prevailed a belief that
whatever thesa resources ar or have
been, they have been practically exhausted
by wasteful and unbusinesslike methods
universally characteristic of th American
buBlneaa life.
It can be assumed aa perfectly proved
that whatever faults of corporate manage
ment, whatever high flying In finance and
In railroad security manipulation and In
insurance management thore may have
been, yet on th whole then evils are In
considerable In comparison with the gen
eral business healthfulneaa of the United
States. Thar 1 no banker In this city
who has had long experience, nor any
great merchant of the class of which John
Claflln Is a type, who does not know and
who does not Bay, when asked, with much
reasonable pride that It would have been
Impossible to Increase our foreign com
merce In the past four years as It had been
Increased, unless American business life.
Industrial and agricultural activity were
on the whole sound, and unless the people
aa a whole were sharing fairly well the
prosperity.
When It Is borne In mind that as re
cently as five years ago out total foreign
commerce aggregated $2,200,000,000, whereas
In the present fiscal year It will increase
In that commerce of more than Jl.OOO.OOO.Oon
In five years, then th proof la perfect of
reasonable, wise and economic Industrial,
commercial anoV agricultural activity.
This year we shall create. In all prob
ability, an International trade balance of
$460,000,l00. If th ships which carried our
foreign trade sailed under the American
flag, the greater part of that balance would
be swiftly converted Into negotiable credit.
Probably as much aa 1100,000,000 is to be
deducted from the balance on account of
travelers' letters of credit. The steamships
now crossing the ocean that have crossed
since the 1st of May, and that ar to sail
from New York through tho month of
July and early Auguat, ar carrying, and
have carried, and will carry up to the limit
of passengers.
It is estimated that since Friday of last
week at least 300 applicants for first cabin
passage on the steamers sailing thla week
were refused, because every cabin passago
had been taken. Borne went to Boston to
take the steamers there and a few to Mon
treal and Quebec. Every one of these cabin
passengers carried a letter of credit. Tho
amounts taken out this year surpass the
amount of letters of credit written In any
preceding year. The estimate la that at
least $100,000,000 wjll be required to pay
these letters of credit, and that would be
a charge against International trade bal
ance. No one knows what th aggregate of
freight and insurance charges Is. But tho
sum Is enormous, and probably will eat
heavily Into our International trade bal
ance. But In any event there Is certain to
be a balance in our favor of many millions,
o heavy that by and by It may be poaalble
for us. If It Is deemed expedient, to bring
back some of the gold that la being ex
ported now.

A RECORD FIR RAKER,
Dividends In Early July Ascarreatnte a

New York letter In Philadelphia Press.
Whether tho call made Thursday by
secretary of the treasury upon the na
tional banks for tfo.ono.ooo of government
funds now on deposit, the money to be
paid Into the treasury by July 10, will tend
to check the export of gold, remains to be
learned. When France began, a month
ago, to call upon the I'nlted States through
London, for gold, the disposition was some
what strong to persuade the secretary of
the treasury to draw upon the national
banks for a considerable portion of the
government funds. For It wss reasoned
that If deposits were thus reduced, the rate
of Interest would be affected.
The actuaries figured that a trifling In
crease in the prevailing rate of Interest
In New York would prevent the export
of gold, since there would be no profit In
the transaction. All of the $S,onn,000 that
have been exported since the movement
began and with which the Bank of France
has been strengthening Its resources must
have been carried across the sea with a
profit so small as to make-the transactions
Inexpedient were It not that the Bank of
France Is especially desirous of strength
ening its position. How narrow th mar
gin of profit was is proved by the fact
that the French bankers were compelled
to allow Interest upon the gold during the
time, that it Is In transit from New York
to Pari.
It bo happened, however, that while sev
eral of the larger national bank deposi
tories of funds In thla city would have
been pleased had. the secretary of the
treasury made a call In mid-May for gov
ernment funds, on the other hand, a ma
jority of the banks elsewhere In the coun
try that ar carrying government deposits,
earnestly opposed th withdrawal of . the
funds. That opposition was Interpreted
here as proving that tb.e banks elsewhere
In the United States are meeting with
strenuous demand for loans and are exert
ing themselves so that they may carry,
without unduly straining their resources,
their customers.
Being Interpreted In another way, this
simply means that the demand for money
capital all over the United States not
for speculative, but for business purposes,
continues to be very great. In this city
the bankers would havo been glad to keep
the gold, since that would serve to
strengthen the legal reserve and to make
reasonable maintenance of loans possible.
At this time banks here and throughout
the country are taking preliminary ateps
easily to meet the demands that are to
be made In the late summer and through
out the fall so that the cro&s can be
brought to market. But especially at .this
time and In this city another and a more
Immediate preparation Is under way, for
on the first of July what la undoubtedly
to be a record distribution of dividends
and Interest representing various earnings,
Industrial and railroad, for the past throe
of six montliB 1b to ba made. It Is not pos
sible to give an accurate estimate of the
amount that Is, to state within a million
iollara what this aggregate disbursement
is to be. ,-But It is known that It will ap
proximate about $191,000,000.
It la In sympathy 'with other record
making statistics that will tell of what
waa done In the fiscal year ending on
June 80. The government itself has some
high records to report. The aggregate
business done by the national banks In the
fiscal year now closing and the total of
deposits In them and of loan, made by
them are written In figure that have
never been equaled. So, too, the interna
tional commerce the receipts of the treas
ury department, and probably the entire
movement of domestic Industry and trans
portation have been greater In the flmal
year now closing than ever before.
