Elsewhere in The Star is printed, with editorial comment, a statistical 1able covering the period from 1900 to 3920, which shows with figures sup- plied by the District auditor's office the District’s tax defidit or tax surplus in each year and the accumulation or y¢duction of deficit or surplus at the end of each year. It also shows the recognition by Uncle Sam through Congress of the existence of District tax surpluses in the Treasury in the transfer from time to time of portions of these surpluses from the credit of the District to the credit of the United States. These transfers are noted in the table as ‘“Direct Charges.” i In making these subtractions from 1he revenues of the District in the ‘Treasury the existence of such reve- nues is, of course, recognized, and the obligation to repay the remainder of such eccumulated revenues after these deductions have been made is admitted and confirmed. It is incon- celvable that Uncle Sam would recog- nize this District surplus in the Treas- ury only when on some plausible pre- text he takes some portion of it to Thimself. 4 The figures of this table prove con- clusively the existence of the District surplus as a concrete fact, raising a distinct obligation, not to be avoided, and will repay careful study by Wash- ingtonlans and by our legislature on Capitol Hill. Senator Knox. Philander C. Knox entered ‘the pub- lie service reluctantly. He had quali- fied for the bar and achieved such success there political office, even of a national character, posséssed no lure for him. But, persuaded to accept office, he huckled to his duties and to the new him fame and fortune in his profes- sion and enabled him to write his name among its leading members. In both the Department of Justice and the State Department he demon- strated capacity of the highest order for the country's business, as also in the Senate when transferred to the legislative field. Thus, wherever placed—as attorney at law, as cabinet officer and as senator—he took his stand in the front rank of the activi- ties, and merited, and received, the confldence and admiration of all his associates. In the use of terms we sometimes jest about public men. A famous wit—Thomas B. Reed—once in a run- ning debate described a statesman as a politician who was dead. This could not be applied to Mr. Knox, who had no knack or taste for political man- agement, but whose reading and life with the zeal that had brought THE 3 'eulon for increasing the number of|ferences, those senktors who have had units produced and sold in a normal business. Yet it is equally true in many instances that, piaying an equal part with depleted reserves, the timid- lity with which many industrial estab- lishments today regard the future is contributing extensively to current unemployment. The action of the Steel Corporation should go far toward dissipating that timidity. Here are the responsible heads of a huge industry who, looking ! forward into the future to estimate the probable trend of business, decide that the prospects are such as to warrant the expenditure of ten millions of dol- lars upon plant extension and im- provements. Operating at 40 per cent capacity today, they anticipate an in- dustrial revival in the near future which will demand ‘more than 100 per cent capacity from their existing plant. Deliberately, and with all the confidence borne of an assurance which is patent to all forward-looking ibusiness men, they have decided to take advantage of an excellent oppor- tunity to prepare for the flood of orders they anticipate. It is probable that nothing could more surely hasten the arrival of the hour for which they are preparing than would a general emulation of their sound policy by all who are in a position to do so. Congress and the Record. The republicans in Congress, who are having the de'il's own time with both the tax question and the tariff question, may console themselves with the record. No Congress ever laid taxes in a way to please everybody. The thing is impossible. Death and taxes are certain callers, but never welcome. Whatever its size, a tax bill always seems 100 large. The bill now must be large. Uncle Sam is carrying heavy obligations and they must be met. As for the tariff, a revision has always encountered sharp criticism and all sorts of predictions. Singu- larly enough, the most confident pre- dictions of success ever heard in con- nection with a revision of the tariff were made by the men who drew and passed the Gorman-Wilson revision. And yet that revision failed more sig- nally than any other in congressional history. s As singularly, there were serious misgivings as to the Dingley revision, though they were not shared by Mr. Dingley, who presided over the prep- aration of the measure, or by Presi- dent McKinley, who signed it. They had full faith that it would work, and it did work most successfully. It proved to be a jewel of e tariff measure, both as respects raising revenue and raising the depressed spirits of the business world. Congress now has the job of jobs in hand, and must take chances. There is no way around, or underneath, or overhead. It must go straight to it and buck the line. — ——e e The Conference and Its Meaning. Vice Admiral Kato, a member of the Japanese delegation to-tHe arma- ment conference, is en route to Wash- ington, and at Honmolulu gave an in- terview from which this is taken: “There should be unreserved ex- change of opinion, with the sole aim of devising measures that can be carried actually into effect. Agree- ments, even though phrased in fault- less language, are of no avail unless they are practicable and will truly serve to limit with justice and fair- ness. I am convinced this is the real im of the conference, which will be attained.” Here are two very sensible sug- gestions. One is that the exchanges of opinions at the conference should be “unreserved.” The nations through their delegates should declare them- sp of public questions entitled him | gelves as they actually feel toward to the place he occupied among those!the questions presented, and consider indisputably rated as statesmen. | themselves bound by the agreements He . meeting the unemployment crisis. In ) has been snatched by death almost on the eve of the vote in the Senate on the treaty which is rooted in the resolution he helped frame respecting peace with Germany. But he had the assurance that the treaty would be ratified, and that his labors had not been in vain. The country and his party lose heavily by his death. —_— Military experts incline to the opinfon that there is going to be either no war at all or else the great-l est war in history. | ————— i Inflated currencies in Europe are recelving the attention of statesmen who appreciate the dangers of a punc- ture. ————r—— In the old days present events in England would have suggested some ‘wonderful subjects to a poet laureate. ————— Optimism and Unemployment. | The decision of the United States Steel Corporation to spend $10,000,000 in extenfion of its manufacturing plants-and improvements deserves the wholchearted applause of the nationl upon two main grounds. In the first| place it marks the first step upon a large scale of what is obviously the most practical and certain method of the second place it connotes a degree of optimism as to the near future of American industry which cannot but have a heartening influence upon those to whom the depression which has overlong gripped the nation has brought chronic gloom. In assuming the function of pioneer m redpeing unemployment through! the effective means of furnishing ad- ditional employment the Steel Corpora-i tion sets an example which all whu; can would do well to emulate. Undor «xisting market conditions it has been Jound impessible to operate the mills at even 50 per cent of capacity. I\Ianyl thousands of employes have of neces- sity been ‘laid off. The corporation, seeking a means of alleviating the re- sulting distress, determines to avail it- self of an excellent opportunity to ex- tend its existing maximum capacity. It is true that to enter upon such an undertaking one must be possegsed of strong emergency resefves either in rash or credit, and that the non-pos- session of such reserves will preclude from following the example ch they will applaud. A time when the unit cost of production is greater than the unit price of sale could hard- 3y be beld to be an advantageous oc- , - reached. Measures devised should be carried into effect. The other is that the conference steer by the practicable, and avoid fine language. This is a most im- portant suggestion. There is a misun- derstanding, much too wide, as io the nature of the conference. President Harding himself has explained that it is not millennialistic. He wants the conference to keep its feet on the ground and accomplish something. Peace on earth, good will toward men, is so large a topic it incites to excess of statement by those who, ex- press themselves eloguently and with ease; and the wounds of the world war are still so green they render pardonable the hope that they may be the last in the experiences of men. | But the conference cannot proceed as though that hope were a fact, or safely with the intention of making it a fact. To justify its existence it to yleld some measure of their con- victions are to be commended on the caliber of their statesmanship. It is thus great measures of statecraft are evolved. It was thus the Constitu- tion of the United States was brought into being, satisfying no one at the time in all particulars, but universally recognized today as man’s greatest achievement in practical politics. It is probable that much fault will be found with the revenue law which will result from agreement among members of the respomsible party to meet the responsibility with which the country has charged them, but it is likely to be a better measure than it would have been had the holders of any one set of opinions been able to ride roughshod over those who dis- agreed with them. The democrats, it would seem, must defer to another day their hope of seeing the republican majority on the rocks. The time still is fresh in the memory of men when republicaans allowed their differences to reach the breaking point. The result was eight years of banishment from power, and the mistake is not apt to be repeated, at least until the generation which wandered in the wilderness has passed away. ———pe—————— Fire Prevention week did not have a fireless opening. It was rather a bad day in the line of fires and a busy one for firemen, but the record is not to be tested by the events of a single day. The record of the whole week and the record of the weeks and months following will be the test. The campaign for fire prevention ought to have, and no doubt will have, con- siderable influence in preventing fires and the record will show a decrease in fires and fire losses. Chilly weather in the fall, the first chilly spell after months of unusual heat, might be expected to cause a rise in fire losses. And there is another thing of which one should think. It is now the season of falling leaves and the sea- son of burning them, and of burning brush gathered in clearing up lots and fields. People should be careful that leaf and brush fires shall not “get away.” —_——— German philosophers -are now re- garded, in many instances, as having wasted a large amount of good paper that might have been used in print- ing money.

Democratic hopes that the Senate republicans would split on the revenue bill, and that political capital thereby might accrue to the party of opposi- tion, apparently have gone glimmer- ing. -Practicability always has been a characteristic ob the leaders of the republican party, and, while repub- lican senators are men of strong opinions and pronounced individual views, ds is meet and proper they should be, each knows that he cannot expect to impuse his individual views in toto upon his colleagues.

Argus (democratic) thinks, “means a great deal in these @éays of national and international emergencies. It means that the United States {s a good deal better than solvent” while Kuropean countries approximate bankruptey. The causes of the rise are variously ascribed, but the Chattanooga News (democratie) thinks it “mainly | traceable to one cause—the lowering of rediscount rates of federal reservi banks.” “ln most of the comment,” remarks the Springfield Republican (independent), “little attention has; been paid to the government's special interest in forcing the war issues up to as near par as possible in the coming year or two. When the vic- tory notes mature they will be re- funded in the form of a long-term bond, and hundreds of millions. of ! dollars will be saved by the United | States Treasury if they can be marketed at a low rate, say 4 per cent.” - The New York Times (independent democratic) points out that a “mark- ed reason for the rise of liberties is that the selling has decreased and that the Treasury has been buying,” while the Providence Tribune (inde- pendent republican) refers to “rumors of an intention on the pant of the government to gather up all the short-term issues into a refunding scheme of long-term obligation.” The <hiladelphia Public Ledger (inde- pendent), together with the Boston Post (independent democratic), sees only natural causes at work in the boost in prices. “Liberty bonds had gone so low,” says the Ledger, “that the reduced price at which they could oe bought meant an actual yield to the investor.” Commenting on the nvestment value of the bonds, the 3oston Transcript (independent re- oublican) says: “Investment result- -0g in unusually good returns can be nade in even such conservative se- curities as 41 per cent liberty bonds 9y watching the market quotations 2nd buying at the right time,” and cites a case of a bond bought in De- cember, 1920, when the price was very low, on which 15 per cent was re- alized. “Cases could-be cited of pur- chases made later,” continues the Transcript, “with even a better show- ing, -but 15 per cent might be consid- vred pretty fair return for an invest- ment in the most conservative, least speculative _securities known.” Th rise i8 “noc doubt to be credited,” thinks the Syracuse Herald (inde- psendent), “in no small measure to in- creased demands for the bonds for investment purposes, and also to the - rates. That these government securittes have proved a p-or investment for poor people is touched upon by a aumber of papers. The Sioux City Tribune (independent), predicting that government paper will go above par, says: “Then the harvest will come for the rich men who bought at cheap prices the paper the millions of poor fam- ilies purchased through self-denial to kelp the nation in its hour of distress, and which they had to sell to keep potatoes on the table and shoes on the baby. It is always that way. The poor pay for wars.” In the same vein, the Florida Me- tropolis (Jacksonville, democratic) says: “The speculators took advan- tage of the moment to prepare to en- rich themselves after the high tide of interest died down—and they are fol- lowing out their plans. The govern- ment must keep faith with the small investors by protecting them. To fail to do this is to encourage socialism.” “The previous drop in the prices of these securities cost many persons who were forced to sell them dearly,” notes the Buffalo News (republican), and the Chicago News (independent) says “the market decline was dis- quieting to persons lacking experi- ence in the field of investment.” The Spokane Spokesman-Review (inde- pendent republican), is of the opin- ion that while “some buyers were forced to part with their bonds at U.

The day of our deliverance from the domination of the janitor has dawned. The doctrine that the jani- tor can do no harm has dissolved under police court test. A janitor has been fined for disturbing the peace. 1t has been decreed that tenants have some rights which the Janitor is bound to respect. This janitor, cherishing the conviction general among janitors that the way fo keep tenants humble is to treat 'pm rough, made a great racket with a waste basket on the back stairs and b on a tenant's door and raised his voice in janitor jargon and invited the tenant to come out and have his head knocked off. The tenant, being dis- crect and desiring to retain his head, remained inside until the janitor had gone off ®mewhere and then came out and had the king of the apartment ar- rested and haled into court like a com: mon culprit. And the judge, after hear- ing the evidence, fined him $100 and iaid down the law to the general effect that janitors do not own the apart- ments and have no right to override tenants’ rights. Let all tenants take notice that the courts of the land are open to them in_the struggle against the tyrannous rule of the janitor. And let all janitors beware lest the tenant worm, heart- ened by this court’s action, ‘turn to the courts cverywhere for rellef from the janitor’s despotism.—St. Louis Post- Dispatch (independent). Need of a Third Peace Treaty. In French diplomatic circles the opinion has been formed that in or- der to put a final end to war with Germany and to establish perntanent world peace, there is a need of one more peace treaty between the United States and the allles. Need of this treaty lies in the fact that the United States signed a separate treaty with the Germans, which treaty does not recognize many important conditions of the Versallles treaty. The treaty signed in Berlin between the United States and Germany does not ratify the fact that Alsace-Lor- raine belongs to Fradce. On the other hand, it admits America to the commigsion on war indemnities, which must be approved by the allies. The French ministry of foreign affairs appreciates the situation which has arisen and for .this reason proposes to form another treaty.
