The government records this recognition by its endeavor to extend and diversify the uses of the navy| yard plant. to the end that a maxi- mum of skilled workers may be re- tained there and a minium be thrown out of employment TIncrease of diversified activities at the navy yard plant means more work for more men and larger ap- propriations of money to pay then:. More jobs at living pay constitute one of the obvious remedies of un- employment. Economic efficiency urges the gov- ernment to do everything in its power to prevent deterioration of its navy vard plant. The asset of accumulated skilled labor developed at the navy vard and conducting its productive activities is as much a part of the plant as the machinery which these workers operate. Economy and efficiency forbid that this asset shall he disintegrated and dispersed precisely as they forbid that the machinery shall be injured or destroyed by disuse or neglect or abuse. Many of the skilled workers at the navy vard are Washington home- owners, a part of the permanent cap- ital community. It is hurtful in the highest degree to the community in- terest if they are driven elsewhere through ' deprivation of their accus- tomed employment ai a living wage. TUncle Sam as local employer will doubtless in the end so solve his navy yard unemployment problem on lines of equity. efficiency and human sympathy as to set a wholesome ex- ample to employers evervwhere and thus contribute practically and pow- erfully to the wise solution of the national unemployment problem. The Municipal Lodging House. A man who has elected himself champion or leader or representative | of the unemployed has said some Larsh things about the mui pal lodg- ing house. Harsh things are often— even usually—said about free iodging houses elsewhere. but the city of Washington. though its floating popu- Iation of homeless or roomless pzople 1= trivial compared with the great cen- ters of private industry, ought to have a model municipal lodging house. The imperfections of the present old building on 12th street have often been called to the attention of the pub- lic and t proper authorities, but with so many needs pressing upon the city the o lodging house has been iven scant attention. It is really some- thing that Washington people know v little about, because homeless elterless men in Washington are 1are, and the general bellef has been that a very large percentage of the men going to the municipa! lodging house are gentleman pedestrians who et a lift on freight trains when they can and who uavel southward in winter and northward in summer. Nothing uncharitable is intended in that observation, and Washington skould have a good municipal lodging house for men who are unfortunate enough to need it. ————— Chemists say t a satisfactor bstitute for coal can be created.

With the conference on unemploy- ment buckling down to the tasks be- fore it, men and women throughout the country are holding among them- selves—as they meet in the course of their daily affairs—a series of unoffi- cial and informal conferences upon the question in point. Lacking the ad- vantages of detailed statistics, without the advice of eminent economists or leaders in the industrial fields, they are seeking—these' men and women— the same ends as the official repre- sentatives gathered in the big confer- ence hall of the Department of Com- merce. Earnestly and without preju- dice they debate the matter of why unemployment should be scourging the nation today and what of a practical nature can be done to relieve the situation as it exists. The predominant trait of the aver- ‘age American is perhaps that of keen judgment upon matters toward which ‘he directs his attention. In any event -he possesses that characteristic to-a marked degree. And today, with his attention focused upon the subject of ;tha why and wherefores of unemploy- sment, the keen edge of his logic is with the Sunday morning { by enrriers within the city | boratory experts i Iplays a predominant part) is higher The Evening Star Newspaper Company | than the price which the public is willing to pay therefor. It is therefore up to the individual who wishes to 'sell his services to an employer to see to it that the price he asks for those services does not preclude the pos- sibility of a profit to his employer through the use of those services. For otherwise he will not be hired. This reasoning of your average {American man or woman is sound. smoothly. One of those conditions is, we are told, that some 3,500,000 men {and women in America today want work. Another of those conditions we know is that labor today, whether or- ganized or unorganized, skilled or un- | skilled, employed or unemployed, de- mands for its services war-inflated | wages and working ‘“rules” which hold down production. Yet another condition is that the public will not pay today the prices which made pos- sible war-inflated wages and unpro- ductive working ‘rules.” And the final condition is that the 3,500,000 men and women are not meeting with success in their quest for employment. jundoubtedly be recognized and stated by the eminent conferees who now lhn\'e the subject under formal con- i sideration. Yet when all has been said and done it is a safe prophecy that their findings as to the causes of exist- ing conditions and their prescription for a remedy will run along the lines|njs fellow citizens are in the same] vices” upon which the average man and woman of America are today thinking. ratifying Speed. Both the country and the members of President Harding's conference on apparently is being made in the formulation of a program of emer- gency measures. The conference has lgrasped the fact that the very es- isence of emergency remedies is early application and has put aside for later consideration all matters which Imake for delay. There have been sincere doubts whether the unemployment situation lis one which could be effectively dealt {with by a conference of the Kkind jWhich the President has convened, ;but even those who doubted must be encouraged by the practical-minded- iness with which the conferees have fapproached the problem. They have inot attempted to put forward untried theories and cure-alls for industrial {ills, nor have they sought to dazzle jthe country by the discovery of some startling over-night restorative. In- |stead, they have recognized that the putting of idle men back to work + must a plecemeal affair, a few ]hm-e and a few there, a few more by ithis method and a few more by that. keeping always in mind that with the lconversion of each idler into a wage earner the total volume of purchasing power is enlarged-and the demand for the product of other workers thereby increased. : | Later on. when the emergency pro- igram has been worked out and recom- mended for adoption by the states and municipalities and industrial |units, it wil be time enough to take up and propose measures looking to {prevention of the recurring periods {of unemployment. It has long been jrecognized by economists that there {was no real justification for much of ithe unevenness in the employment {line of American Industry. Now that {the present period of depression has centered attention on the subject, and {the President having called into con- ference the minds best equipped to deal with it, the country has a right {to hope that something really big and {constructive and pernganently bene- |ficial will be evolved. H —————————————— The Citizen’s First Duty. The President’s letter to a Virginia !republican on the subject of ‘“the first duty of a citizen” should be | circulated in*every state In the Union. iHe had been advised by his cor- respondent that “at the last election ifor Governor of Virginia only 89,000 !votes were cast, while in 1920 the total. with women voting, rose to 231,000, while there was a total pos- sible qualified vote of about 900,000, |and asked for an expression of opinion. Felicitously enough, the President replied that the figures presented {gave the answer to the inquiry; that {the first duty of a citizen is to vote. If that fact could soak in every- where conditions of every sort in this be ot our trouble as a people grows out of the neglect of suffrage by large numbers of those qualified to exercise it. ‘They ignore primaries altogether iand *“pass up” election day with a jest. T"There was a light vote cast"” is a standing line in election news in off years. There should never be a light vote cast. Every election has an impor- tance all its own. The citizen is interested in having a good—the best available—person in office, from con- stable to President, and so should record himself whenever polls are { opened. There should be no off years in our political contests. ! This is the people’s government, and the people largely have only themselves to thank when the gov- ernment is incompetent, or worse. —————————.

The American Army on the Rhine. Politictans are dwefling upon the| question of removing the 14,000 American soldiers who are on the Rhine in Germany since the armi- stice. Some of the politicians want to have the soldiers sent back. to America immediately after the sign- ing of the peace treaty with Ger-| many. This question will be decided by the American government as i will consider most advantageous to American interests, especially as the German government did not specify that the American Army be removed from Germany. Those in favor of im- mediate removal of the Army on the Rhine state that if this'plan were carried out Germany would save one million dollars yearly, for which rea- son the evacuation would greatly please them. However, this does not agree with facts. America has made a separate peace treaty with Ger- many, but it has all the rights and privileges gained by the allfes through the Versailles treaty, which demand: occupation of German territory unti the. Germans fulfill their obligations. doubt that the territory which thei, American Army would vacate would be occupied by the French, the Ital- ians or English, in view of which{ fact the Germans would have the same expenses to bear, if not greater | | ones. The American_takes into consider- ation that the German people would rather have the American Army there than any other, even though Ger- many deserves no such consideration. —Kuryer Polski (Polish, Ind waukee. Graded Inheritance Taxes. | A discriminating tax on big inherit- ances is being urged as a revenue pro- ducer, and as a corrective of the in- equalities of social conditions. Tt would differ from the ordinary in- heritance taxes in that it would grad- i i size of estates, jbut would diserimi- nate by means bf lower rates in favor of estates inherited by several per- sons as against those which descend intact. It is argued in support of such a plan that mammoth accumulations which pass in substantial entirety from one generation to another are,| || or become, more or less of a menace to society. The same view insists that a tax which would tend toward a measurable redistribution of such es- tates would prove wholesome and beneficial, while at the same time ng revenue for the government.
