Recommendation To Cut Out Eeve-
nueJCutter Service Not Popular
"With Congress
Washington; ;jar. 22 -Abolition of
the revenue cutter service, which was
recommeded in the report of Economy
and Efflciepcy Commission sent to con-
greas by President .Taft, meets with
little lavor in utngress.
The revenue cutler service which
spends about $2,600,000 a year and pa
trols two oceans, is under the jurisdic
tion of the Treasnry Department, yet
neither Secretary MacVt agh nor hia as
sistant nor any officer of the revenue
cutter service was called on to appear
before thecommittee and give opinion on
the proposed abolition. Secretary
MacVesgh is understood not to consider
the proposal seriously. Officers of this
serxtce, as well as all Government
officials whose work is affected by the
recommendations of the commission,
are unabie to defend thrmselvep, for
only a week before the recommendation
was made known President Taft rei
terated an order issued fry Phsident
Roosevelt forbidding cfflcials from dis-
cuaiog any question of public policy or
giving; information to m mbers of Con
gress wiih the authority of the heads of J
their rasprective departments.
Fredrick A. Cleveland' chairman of
the Economy Commission, declartd to
night that if its recommendation is
adopted it will mean an annual saving
to the Government of approximately
$1,000,000 a year without robbing it of
any of the functions it now enj'ojs.
There are twenty-six-rraft in the rev
enue cutter service. The recommeda
tjon of the Economy Commission does
not necessarily contemplate the imme
diate sale of any of the vessels, al
through many of them mny be d it posed
of "departmentally" if the surest ion
to aboliah them is bpprcved by Con
greos.

Front street known as the "Stimson"

on Friday, Jan. 2Ctb, is full of interest

the musical play is an adaption, was ori

Nw York City, Feb. 22. 1892, with Mr.
Charles Dickson, the adapter, in the
ftar role. The play had a phn menal
run before it. was finally taken off.
Thar are avrl Liu of real life to-
maoce connected with "Incog," among
them being the origin of the famous
old ssjlng, "It ia to laugh." On the
opening performance Louia Mann's dear
little mother tat in the front row; and
after the final tortain, Charles Dickson
asked her opinion of the play. She e
piled in her quaint Gc amao way, "Ach!

I do not usually make atatements as
to my connection with Jegislatiop...coji
cerning the State, but fte misstatement
made in a certain Wport sent out from
Wa-hingtoa with reference to the re
commendation of the Board of Engineers
for the esUbfiehmenVof,aJiarborof re
fuge at Cape -Lookout for .the" North
Carolina coast at an expense of $3,500.-
030 makes it proper for me to give the
facts. . ,,
Several years ago while reading some
old gove'rment reports on Cape Lookout
I became satisfied H should be made a
harbor of refuge, and that it had great
possibilities as a commercial harbor.
In consequence when the river and
habor bill of that year was under con
sideration upon my own initiative with
out sucrges'.ion lrom anyone 1 caused to
be inserted in the river and harbor bill
for that year in the Senate an amend
ment authorizing a survey of this cape
with a view to establish a harbor of re
fuge there.
Under this provision of law Captain
Earle I. Brown made the survey . and a
report exceedingly favorable to it both
as n harbor of reiuge and of commerce
but the d strict engineer, Colonel Kings
man, of Savannah, Ga., aud the 'Board
of Ei gineen, dissented and suggested
that all probable available porta on the
North Carolina Coast should be su'vey
ed with a view to selecting the best
place fur such a harbor:
Thereupon to meet the views of (he
engineers I introduced an amendment
to the river and harbor bill as it. came
from the House authorizing a survey of
this port as a commercial harbor,
also in January 1910 shortly af
ter the unfavorable report of the
Board - of Engineers on the Brown
survey to meet toe views of the engi
neers I introduced a joint resolution and
passed it through the Senate and which
wpb after wrdfc pasted through the
House providing ior a survey pf Sputh-
port, Cape Hatteras nnd Cape Lookout
w.th a view to selecting the most suit
able location, hoping to get a report be
fore the river and harbor act of 1910
waa passed. Both Mr. Thosmaa and
Mr. Small were very active in securing
the passage of this w solution through
the House.
Surveys were made in accordance
with this provision of the law and. the
favorable report just made by the Board
of Engineers is the result of these - sur
veys,
In securing favorable' action by the
Board of Engineers underthia legisla
tion 'so put through Congress upon" my
initiative I have had the action and af
fective co-operation of Repreaentativee

It is almost impossible to regulate and reduce expendi
tures if there is no systematic plan followed in paying for
bills and no record kept af these expenses.
For the purpose of keeping a systematic record there is
no method more convenient or accurate than to deposit all
money in this bank and pay for accounts by check. You
then, without keeping books, have a record of the amounts,
the dates, and to whom paid.
We invite checkingccounts in any amount ana feel con
fident that you will appreciate the efficient and courteous
service we can render' you. ! '
