The Water Item Cut. Preliminary reports from the House appropriations committee regarding the District bill, which it is expected © will he reported to the House next Wwee' indicate that heavy cuts have bee. nade in the estimates, bringing the .otal as the bill now:stands to $2,620,000 less than has been appro- bill stands no provision is made for in- creasing the facilities for impounding and distributing the water. Considerations of economy may jus- tify most. cuts in appropriation bills, but they cannot prevail in such cases as that of the proper provision for the drinking water of the capital com- munity. It is true that just at present there is enough water in winter, but as in midsummer, in seasons of unusual heat, the very time when the water is lowest in the Potomac, the need of ‘water is the greatest, it cannot be sald that taking the years and the months as tiaey run Washington has enough water today. The other day a break occurred at the filtration plant, and if it had not been possible to repair it within a few hours it would bave been necessary, owing to the lack of sufficient filter- ing equipment in reserve, to throw the whole city upon the unfiltered service, or to treat the water chemicaMy before distribution. This accident illustrated clearly the narrow margin of the sup- ply at this time. A break may occur at any moment in the single conduit between Great Falls and the reser- + voirs, and Washington would be in that case wholly deprived of water after a few hours. It is appalling to think of the results of such a hap- pening. ‘Truth is, the Capital city has been for some years living on the slenderest margin of water service, and has only by the best of luck escaped catas- trophe. When the population was in- creased during the war to practically the half-million point the supply was; absolutely inadequate.. Even now, with a material reduction in the popu- lation, in midsummer it becomes neces- ; sary at times to impose restrictions upon water users. If the city grows as it has normally during the past two decades it will permanently reach the half-million point by the time that the projected water service Improve- ments can be completed. Thus every Postponement through the cutting out of this item from session to ses- sion is not economy. It is the worst of extravagance, for the work will cost more later than, now. Next year the estimates for this improvement may have to be materially revised up- ward. Cutting the paragraph out in the House, therefore, is simply pigeon- holing a bill that must be paid, that cannot be avoided, that is bound to be collected sooner or later, and on whic! interest is running. state of the Treasury. this paragraph should be restored. ———te————— The Texas Senatorship. year of delay will add to the risk. 1 priated for the current fiscal year. The E heaviest single cut thus far made is ;| of the item of $3,000,000 for the en-! largement of the water supply. As the ' the archipelago sent-to gather 1t two men familiar with the scene from serv- ice there, and in whom he had all con- fidence. They were not sent to find excuse for anything. - That the commissioners went out- side their instructions and conducted their investigation in a spirit leaning to prejudice and preconceived opinion is not admissible in the light of their standing and reputation. Both have held high places under the govern- ment, and Gen. Wood only two years ago was a leading candidate for the republican nomination for Président of the United States. The Wood-Forbes report cannot be disposed of in the way adopted by Senor Gabaldon. It is not the pro- duction of prejudiced or uninformed !men, and there is no evidence that it was prepared with the object of doing any injury to the interests of the Fili- pino people. e B o Demands of Coal Miners. There is no occasion at this stage for public alarm over the possibilities of a mine strike at the beginning of April, but it Is a very proper time to give serlous consideration to condi- tions which make coal mining one of the most unsasisfactory of our indus- tries. It is neither fair mnor worth ‘while to upbraid the miners for asking incvreased wages at a time when the nation needs and is striving for a lowering of prices. The demand for an increase is probably mere- ly a counter to the proposal of the operators for a reduction of wages, but that is beside the question. The important fact is that the yearly earn- ings of miners are not at all com- mensurate with their wage scales, and this is a state of affairs which should and could be remedied. ‘ A part of the plan of Secretary Hoover and the Department of Com- merce for restoration and stabilizing of industry looks to the continuous operation of coal mines. Could the total amount of coal mined each year be divided into twelve parts and & twelfth part mined each month the re- sultant benefits would extend all down the line. Fewer miners would be re- quired and they would be kept steadily at work. The bulk of coal transporta- tion would come in the months of most advantageous instead of least advan- tageous operation of the railroads. In- dutries and householders would be saved from the danger of coal short- ages due to excessive demands in the period of difficult transportation. Rail- Iroads could reduce their investments in open-top cars if such equipment was Kept steadily employed, and the tendency would be to reduce freight rates. . No such transformation in coal buy- ing and storage is possible, of course. between now and April 1 next. The coming conflict of interests must be met, as similar conflicts in the past have been, by the fairest compromise it is possible to reach. It is to be hoped that a strike will be averted, but if a strike does come it is right that the public should remember that the miners are not wholly to blame. So long as the buvers of coal, industrial and private, neglect to co-operate in so sensible and so necessary a reform of methods, they must bear their share ¢ the reproach. A Humming Year. Poliiically, 1922 is going to be a humming year in this country. The promise is all that way. The old par- ties are already squaring off for action in the old way. New parties are ap- pearing, and will soon be taking their campaign cues from the old. And when all parties, old and new, get into their stride, the pace will be fierce. This is in the nature of things. It is, indeed, a movement in the direction of normalcy. The combination which swept the country in 1920 was, in a way and sense, unnatural, and bound to go to pieces. There was nothing to | hold it together longer than the regis- Whatever the | téring of the emphatic protest it repre- sented. Well, a humming year politically may contain much good for the coun- try. For one thing, it should show us just where we are “at” We only Again the Texas senatorship to be|know today that we are not where we filled this year is under discussion, and again the opinior is expressed that if Mr. Culberson were in health he would be chosen to succeed himself. But he has not regained his strength, and there is little hope of his improvement in time for this year's race. % Representative Blanton had the senatorial feyer a short time ago, and for a short ttme, but has recovered, and has announced his withdrawal from the contest. * Former Senator Bailey’s name is not mentioned. His defeat two years ago / for the democratic nomination for gov- ernor seems to have closed the door upon him for the present. Since his return from Europe, where he spent some months taking sound- ings for cotton—he is himself a cotton planter—former Postmaster General Burleson has not figured in the news. But as he is a politician, with a long * record in office, there would be no sur- prise if he wererto offer for the Senate. Former Attorney General Gregory is not a politician, but is regarded as of senatorial size, and as his service in the Wilson cabinet brought him to na- tional notice and gave him a national acquaintance there is talk of him. And, as always, there is talk of Col. House, who though he has never held political office is reckoned a politician of high degree, who in the Senate from the Lone Star state would be & man of note in the chamber. ——— Revival of the so-called “black hand” Jetter does not suggest a desirable re- turn to old-time methods of transact- ing business. An Infelicitous Charge. Benor Gabaldon, one of the resident _commissioners from the Philippine Is- lands, in discussing the Wood-Forbes report in the House yesterday, said: “We can find no other conclusion than that the object of the investigators was to seek an excuse for delaying independence.” This statement impeaches not only Gen. Wood and Capt. Forbes, but the Pregident. There was nothing frregular in the selection of the two special commis- sioners for the Philippine investiga- tion, nor enything concealed in their instruction. The President desiring in- were when the war began, or during the war. We have been swept along on and by an irrestistible tide, and now must find ourselves and do busi- ness according to conditions the war has bequeathed to the world. There will be a great number of suggestions. “Many men of many minds,” and in a contest for a new Congress there are always many men who by pen or tongue, and sometimes by both, have suggestions to submit. Let them come. The more the merrier—and maybe the better. The voters will have time to sort them out; readily handled. Fresh alr is known to be essentlal. There are certain pre- ventives of infection. Cases should be very promptly isolated. It would not be amiss for the federal public health service and for all state health serv- ices to give warnings against the known causes of spread as soon as the first indication appears, if it should come, that the disease has reached America. Of course, the hope is that there will be no recurrence of this dreadful eil- ment over here. Its toll in 1918-19 was a shocking one. The aftermath of the disease is most serious in its effects. So grave are the possibilities of such an outbreak that the most thorough methods of protection should be adopt- ! ed now against possible importation. _————— {“The Human Side” of Immigration. Mrs. Alexander P. Moore—Miss Lil- lian Russell—sailed for Europe yester- day at the instance of Secretary of Labor Davis on a mission which she explained thus: “Mr. Davis wants me to look Into the human side of the immigration problem. He has known for a long | time of my interest in those poor peo- ple who come here only to be turned back because of scme defect. One thing I want to find out is why the passports of delinquents are vised at all. why they are ever allowed to em- bark on a journey that ends in disap- pointment.” The fault lies in the other side, not here.” This is an excellent way to express the matter. There is a “human side" to the immigration question, and it has been too long neglected. Many people bound for the United States have been accepted on shipboard at foreign ports when every considera- tion of fair dealing by them and by this country called for halting them. They themselves were probably not so much to blame as those who should have advised them. They were ‘obey- ing a natural feeling. Seeking a bet- terment of condition, they were push- ing toward the country recommended to them as the garden spot of the earth. They knew nothing, or very lit- tle, about the. terms of admission to the garden. Mrs. Moore will be absent several months—time enough for taking a wide look around and- digesting the difficulty. Let us hope that every facility may be afforded her for investi- gating the situation, and that her re- port may throw light on a subject bath painful and dificult, and which the world war has rendered of more mo- ment to America than ever before.

(From argument of Theodore W. Noyes before Senate District com- mittee, January 12, 1922.) ‘We propose amendment of the Con- stitution of the United States by in- serting at the end of section 3, article { IV, the following words: “The Congress shall have power to admit to the status of citizens of a i state the residents of the District con- stituting the seat of the government of the United States created by article I, section 8, for the purpose of repre- sentation in the Congress and.among the electors of President and Vice Predident and for the purpose of suing and being sued in the courts of of article III, section 2. “When the Congress shall exercise this power the residents of such Dis- trict shall be entitled to elect one or two menators, as determined by the Congress, representatives in the House according to thelr numbers as deter- mined by the decenniel enumeration, and presidential electors equal in num- ber to their aggrogate representation in the House and Senate. “The Congrees shall provide by law tae qualification of voters and the time | and, manner of choosing the senator or senators, the representative or repre- isentatives and the electors hereln au- thorized. “The Congress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing power.” * %k * % ‘Objections to our amendment, when analysed, almost invariably are dis- covered to attack some mon-existing, imaginary evil which the amendment has carefully avolded.

As we have seen. the |amendment adds a power to Congress, instead of subtracting from its pow- ers. The District does not seek to vrest anything from Congress, but to secure representation in:that Congress and to become politically a part of the nation. its status now being that of political alien. * * X ok ok Another man attacks the amend- ment on the gronnd that it proposes statehood for the District. This kind of attack is especinlly discouraging because it ignores completely the in- finite pains taken by the amendment fr.:'lner- to avoid even the slightest & of ntatel ould completely destroy. _The evil of totally non-representa- tive national government at the seat of government of the great repre- sentative republic could be corrected (1) by repeal of the exclusive legis- lation clause of the Constitution with srant of statehood to the District or with retrocession of the District to Maryland; or (2) by empowering Con- gress to grant voting representation in Congress and electoral college to District residents, as proposed in_our constitutional amendment. without conferring on the District any other at- tributes, privileges or powers of state- hood, and without disturbing in the least the control by the nation of the capital through Congress. By empowering Con- gress to grant to District residents cer- tain specified powers of citizens of a | state other powers of statehood are im- pliedly denied. The fact that state- hood is not proposed is emphasized by the provision empowering Congress to grant to District residents in its dis- | cretion only ome representative in the Senate.

An epidemic of influenza is prevalent in England, centering, as usual, in London. During the past week there were 1,262 deaths from the disease, an increase of 443 over the previous week, this making 1,705 deaths in two weeks. Of the 1,262 deaths last week in all England 1,021 occurred in London, in- dicating that the disease, as in the earlier outbreak, takes its heaviest toll in close population. No sign has appeared of the intro- duction of influenza in this country. Its prevalence in England, however, with such an alarming total of fatali- ties, should cause the strictest watch over all passenger traffic westward. The épidemic of 1918 was unquestion- ably brought here from Europe, hav- ing prevailed for a number of months over there before it made its appear- ance on this side of the Atlantic.

Prob- ably “the soviet delegation hias packed its celluloid collar and is already on the way,” another writer eurmises. But before it is welcomed by the family of nations and given a place at the table it must assure the rest of the company that it intends to behave. These, in brief, are the conditions upon which Russia will be admitted to the parley: Recognition of all for- elgn debts of the old Russian regime; adherence to private property rights; cessation of all outside propaganda, and agreement not to attack other na- tions. . Calling attention to the similarity between these -conditions and those 1aid down by two American adminis- trations as prerequisite to recognition by the United States, the Kalamazoo Gazette (independent) holds that the terms imposed by the supreme coun- oll “vindicate the policy consistently maintained by the United States gov- ernment.” In fact, “American common sense” has triumphed, the Cleveland Plain Dealer (independent demo- cratic) believes, for: “Neither British eagerness nor French aloofness could come hear solving the Russian problem. The business intelligence of the United States, backed by the simmple prin- ciples of international morality, has won the approval of statesmen and sealots, and is about to offer the key to open the gate that has excluded Russia from the rest of the clvilized world.” At the same time “no amount of palaver about recognising past debts and abstaining from propaganda,” i the view of the New York Times (in- dependent democratic) can obscure the fact that relatlons are to be estab- lshed “with savages and cutthro: But, while sympathizing with this re- luctance to negotiate with ‘“Lenin and his piratical crew,” the Indianapolis News (independent) finds it “hard to see how there could have been any escape from it ‘The stubborn fact remains that the soviet government {s the functioning government in Russia, and has isted “for four years,” the Ithaca Jéurnal-News (independent) observes, “despite every effort to overthrow it. and “so long as the Russian tutional amendment was held by a subcommittee of the Senate District committee.
