In response to a bulletin issued | the United States Department of Agri- culture calling attention to the grow ing dependence of Europe upon for- eign countries for its supply of bread- stufts, Barl Carrington, president of the British Board of Agriculture, has | been compiling statiatics to show that | the British colonies are so rapidly in- creasing their production of wheat that the English have nothing to fear | tor vears from higher priced stuffs,. The figures presented by the earl, while far from convineing, serve | to direct the attention of American | wheat growers to the source of their | tuture competition According to the British statistics, | Australia is now using about 6,000,000 acres of land for wheat, with an aver- age annual vield of nine bushels to the acre. The high price has made wheat growing profitable, even at the small yield, and it is expected that the acre- age will be doubled within a few years. Canada s producing about 15,000,000 bushels of wheat annually and the Canadian fleld is but partially devel- |oped. The Grand Trunk railway, now | being extended to the Pacific coast, the contract having been let for the 900 miles of road from Bdmonton | Prince Rupert, will open up the | famous Nehaco valley, said by experts | to be capable of doubling the Canadian by grain output as soon as transportation | facilities are furnished The opening of this country will not only add ma- | terially to the Canadian cereal produc- | | tion, but will offer a new transconti- nental rallroad line with cons | quent effect upon trafic rates in this its o | country ' Treasurer.

In spite the Only area little It per cent the not raise wheat people, the fact must for some time at upon the Unitpd States and Argentina for thelr wheat supplies. England | has increased its wheat purchases in | this country by over 80 per cent in the |last twenty vears, now taking nearly /100,000,000 bushels annually. The remains that they | production of wheat in England is con- | | stantly decreasing, while the popula- | tion and the demand for white bread |18 as constantly growing Russia has | made a bid for the Knglish market, fbut the Russian surplus is seldom | large; and the other wheat growing countries in Burope have all they can der the circumstances, the United States may be expected to serve as the | granary of England for many years to come. | Stops Short of the Mark, | Nebraska's new banking law does go far enough. It limits the compen- sation which may be drawn by receiv- ers of falled banks to not less than $3 nor more than $10 per day, as may | be tixed by the State Banking board. The opportunity for a receiver to eat up the assets of a bank by putting in a clalm for fancy salary is, therefore, shut off except as he may increase his | compensation to getting as many days | as possible. But a loophole remains in leavivg without limit “the necessary clerk hire |and attorneys’ fees.” Some of the worst abuses of bank receiverships | have grown out of the appointment of attorneys to the receivers, who have | put in fee bills for legal services that line the pockets of the favored lawyers | while the depositors hold the sack The banking bill should have lim- | |ited the lawyers' fees 8o that the law- | yers could not eat up the substance of | the creditors any more than the re- ’edver-. Better Bank Examinations. Comptroller of the Currency Murray has taken another forward step by is- suing an order requiring national bank examiners to co-operate with clearing bouse examiners and authorities and with state bank examiners. The na- | tional bank examiners have heretofore acted entirely independent of other ex- amining authorities, never co-operat- ing or lending ald to any other sys- tem of examiners and seldom | ing any assistance in return. Comp- troller Murray belleves that the new order will bring about an exchange of information and further the develop- ment of a better system for keeping intelligent check upon the transactions of the financial institutions of the country Much good s expected to follow Mr | Murray's instructions to his ers that they must co-operate in ever possible way with the state bank ex- aminers, who are at work going over the accounts of the trust companies and state banks. This will have the result of leading to simultaneous ex- {aminations of the state and national {banks. and national examiners have | been advised to walt, if necessary, un til they can get the ald of the state | officers. This is particularly advised in cases where trust companies. na- | tional banks and state banks occupy | through some system of joint or com- bread- | to | to eventually | Aus- | The British South | | of the attempt to reassure the English | least depend | | do to supply the home demands. Un- | | one good thing, but in that it does not | receiv- | examin- | mon ownership. In such instances, it asserted, there has in the past been shifting of assets back and forth mong the institutions for the purpose of making a good showing. With the examination of related financial institutions at the same time a trans- fer of accounts and assets would be useless The men at the head of the big and sound financial institutions will wel- come a stricter examination system, | just as they have approved Comp- | troller Murray's requirement of com- two banks and his other plans for placing responsibility for the conduct of & bank more directly upon its officers. The enforcement of his regulations | will do away with the dummy director | in all national banking institutions and | his proposed co-operation among the | national and state bank examiners and | the officers of clearing house associa- tions should have the effect of strengthening the banking system of the entire country, Opening Their Eyes. As the city election approaches with the assured prospect that the hottest | fight will be pulled off over the elee- tion of the police board, the people who were most urgent for an elective plete reports from directors of national | police commission must be having thelr eyes opened to the fact that the objec- tionable features pointed out by The Bee in advance are already beginning to be realized. With the direct pri- mary requiring no other prerequisite | than a petition bearing 200 signatures | and without even a filing fee, the in- | centive to take a gamble on landing | such a desirable job promises to pro- | duce a list of entries so numerous as to make intelligent selection impossible | without some kind of guidance to the voter. While the charter defines certain disqualifications which bar men in par- | ticular callings from aspiring to be po- lice commissioners and prohibits the | holding of state, county or city office | at the same time, it establishes qualifications whose possession would serve as a test of fitness. In other words, anyone with a residence here long enough to make him an elector and not within the proscribed callings may freely go into the race and stand to | lose nothing no matter what his chance | of winning out. The temptation, 100, | for members of the police and fire de- partments, which ought to be free from politics, to mix in in order to have a | friend on the board is likewise being no | i | | manifested. l The elective police commission 18 likely to prove like the new toy to the | child who cries until he gets it and | then suddenly realizes that he has | something he does not care for. | Governor Shallenberger has affixed | his signature to the deposit guaranty | bill, thus completing the steps neces- | sary to get it on the statute books, | The new law vests in the governor the | appointment of the bank commis and his clerks and all the bank ex aminers. No democrat would ever turn | down a chance to cut up a piece of pie like that | ioner There are seven candidates seeking the nomination for mayor In the com ing municipal primary, but only three of them have joined in the application | to the court to prevent Mavor “Jim" from gobbling up all the election offi- | cials. Three mayoralty candidates have a right to feel insulted if they were not invited to draw cards in the game. | South Omaha's new city charter by failure of the emergency clause will not take effect until mext July. It would have béen better if the Omaha charter bill had been shorn of its emergency clause so as to give time for readjustment of the municipal de- | partments affected. That is where | South Omaha has the lead on Omaha | Fer some peculiar reason that $800 | salary attached to a membership in the Board of Fire and Police Commis- | sioners for Omaha looks almost as big | | to some people as the $600 stipend at- | tached to membership in the Water | board.

Such is the heated condition of the popular mind that Germany's official denfal, fortified by naval authoritles, fs scoffed al and misrepresenta- tlon accepted as fact. The most astonish ing feature of the situation fs the specta- cle the Britisher presents in throwing a fit. The calm, thoughtful deliberation, so long regarded a conspicuous British char- acterlstic, seems have vanished com- pletely, its place usurped by the emotional erratic and explosive traits so often criti- clsed In the Latin races. The spectacle contributes mightily to the galety of the Germans, whose conceded eminence as a naval power, even though exaggerated, | must be very pleasing to national pride. | - | The proposed federal inheritance tax In | this in addition to the tax now | collected by many states, brings before the | eyes of the well-to-do a viston of conditions | prevailing in Great Britaln. For nearly a quarter of a century prior to 1907 the in- lhert\anm- tax rate ranged from 6 to 8 per deep at of is responsibie country, cent. In that year the rate was raised to { the minimum of 7 per cent and the maxi- | mum of 16 per cent. Ten per cent Is ex- acted from estates valued at £1,000,00 and 15 per cent from valuations in excess of the first million. For the fiscal year 1907-§ | the tax ylelded a fraction over £19,000,00 an amount but siightly more than the re | turns for the previous year under lower rate. A significant fact is noted in this connection, which partially accounts for the small increase under the higher | rate. Many ownefs of estates, anticipa ting the inevitable, transferred thelr prop- erty to heirs during their lifetime, thus es ping In part what is regarded as an ex | cessive tax the It is up to the shah of Persia to play the game as the governments of Fng |1and and Russia direct or go into the dis {card.
