In reporting the District bill to the House the appropriations committee Bas followed precisely the language of ! @appropriation employed in the last two Jocal fiscal measures. The departure of the bill of 1920 from the fifty-fifty Tatio is maintained, the ratio standing as during the past two years, at sixty- forty, the District to pay the larger portion of the capital maintenance ex- pense. Similarly, the language of revenue provision remains the same, the Commissioners being empowered to increase the rates of taxation on Fealty and tangible personalty if the @estimated net revenues for the fiscal year are not sufficient to meet the Dis- trict’s share.” It is provided, however, that the rates of taxation shall in no @event be less than 1% nor more than 2 per cent. It is to be noted that the House eommittee, following its own proposals for two years past, which have been adopted in the law, takes no cog- nizance of the recent action of the 8en3te in passmg a bill which aban- dons all fixed ratio of District-federal contribution to capital maintenance. This is the proper course. The bill which recently passed the Senate in those terms is a matter of unfinished bysiness. It has vet to be considered ®y even a committee of the House, much less the House itself. The ap- peopriations committee has, therefore, proceeded correctly in ignoring this proposition, which is so iniquitously unfair to the D; On each previous occasion when the House has passed an appropriation bill with the ratio changed from that provided in the organic act of 1878 the Senate has undertaken to amend by restoring the half-and-half provision, only, however, to yield in conference and allow the House proposal to stand. This year it is expected that the Sen- ate will do the same, regardless of its recent action, and seek not only to restore the fifty-fifty ratio but to incor- porate in the appropriative clauses the wital principle of the Jones bill, which provides for an equitable dispostion and use of any surplus of District money ana . a fair funding of cap- ital needs in case of a deficiency of District revenues. . The origindl Jones bill has in sub- stance twice, ppssed the Senate after full deliberatjiop. The Carraway-Jones ®Bill has passed the Senate only once, and then hastily and without due con- sideration. Washingtor hopes and be- MHeves that the original Jones Lill rep- resents the real thought of the Senate. “The bill jtself presents many reasons for disappointment, representing an ealmost unvarying range of reductions from the estimfites and in some cases reductions from the current law. As appropriations, including the water service, of $20,391,679.80, as against $23,001,566.74 - of current appropria- tions and the budget estimates of $26,888,366.15. Nearly half of the re- duction from the estimates is com- prised in a single item of $3,000,000 for the increase of the water supply. ‘Were that item added the bill would carry about $90,000 more than the current appropriations. But this is 4n extraordinary item, and an increase of $2,80¢,000 over the current appro- peiation for water service expansion, £5 that in any analysis this bill repre- sents a material loss from the present standard of District maintenance, and & very heavy loss from the standard as estimated by the Commissioners and with changes approved by the ®ydget bureau. %Phus once more is presented the mrospect of - efforts by the Senate to restore to.the appropriation bill for the District the features of needed pro- wvision both in current maintenance and in new works which have been eyt in the economy process in the) | The claim that the Chinese invented ' gunpowder does not prevent a reluc- tance about exporting arms to that oeuntry.

The wets are seeking ,to strengthen themselves everywheré, and the drys are quite as vigllant. There will be,other" issues'in the ¢on- | test for the next Congress, but pro- ! hibition will share liberally in the lime- |light from first to last. | f President Harding’s address yester- day at the opening of the agricultural conference stressed the fact that the i problems of the farmer are the prob- |lems of all the people, and that it wil ib(— to the benefit of all to bring about | permanent betterment in the condi- { tions of agricultural production. He is ! on record as opposing class favoritism of all kinds, and there was no class appeal in his talk to the farmers. ] Two fundamentals to a better agri- culture were pointed out by the Presf- dent. One is better credit facllities for working capital, and the other better, marketing conditions. The federal farm loan system, the President ob- served, while it has made easier con- ditions upon which plant capital may | be obtained, has brought no relief to the farmer in the matter of short-term loans, and the business of crop pro- duction cannot be put upon an equita- {ble and sound basis until credit is ex-| jtended the farmer upon as advan- tageous terms as it is extended the merchant and manufacturer. As thir- ty, or sixty, ar even ninety day loans are of little use to a business in which the turnover is made but once a year at the best, and in some cases requires two and three years, obviously the financing of agricultural needs is notea business for, banks. of deposit. Mr. Harding plainly indicated that agricul- ture needs a banking system fashioned to meet its peculiar requirements, and the inference is that the administra- tion stands ready to support, or at least to sanction, the creation of such a system. As a step toward better marketing methods the President cited the suc- cess which has attended co-operative marketing in this and other countries, and spoke also of the benefits which have come from co-operative buying. He indicated his belief that the law should not stand in the way of co-| operative marketing on a large scale; but, while he did not go into that phase of the problem, it is to he as- isumad that he would not fail to have crected proper safeguards against | monopoly and the possibilities of ex- tortion. It has been demonstrated that co-oparetive marketing. is good, but like many other good things there are inherent in it the possibilities of abuse. The farmer has not had a square deal, and the President wants him to have one. But in order to give it he has not, of course, any notion of sanctioning unfairness to those who must depend upon the farmer for the necessities of life. —————— The Supply Bills. ‘The House leaders, it is announced, ““expect to send all of the annual ap- | propriation billa to the Senate before {April 1.” An allowance of two months, jand one of the months the shortest in the calendar. The supplies voted at this session are going to be examined by the coun- | try closely,and figure prominently in | the congressional campaigns. The pledge of economy upon which the republicans stand will be tested by these bills. The whole country will be Missouri this year. Voters everywhera will demand to be shown. There will be-two questions: How rmuch has been appropriated? and does the sum cover the needs of the govern- ment properly operated? Congress cannot afford to make a “front” for campalgn purposes. To put the government in its essential functionings on short commons would be neither good business nor good politics. Uncle Sam’'s establishment has grown to large proportions, and cannot with safety to public interests be skimped. * June 1 is the adjournment objective. Let us suppose the House leaders suc- cessful, and all the supply bills in the hands of the Senate by April 1. The Senate then will be allowed two months in whith to dispose of the bills. Is the time sufficient? In revis- ing House work, the Senate sometimes makes radical chdnges and increases the labors of conference committees. —————e—— The industrious scientists who have pointed out the enormous proportions of Betelgeuse have not succeeded . in. turning public attention from such minute specks in the cosmos as Guam and Yap. _'The average city person finds it difficult to understand why the farmer, should not be happy with butter, eggs and produce at their present prices. { oL Despite the depletion of Russia, bol- shevist leaders still appear to- find means to have their expense accounts paid.

Europe has discovered a singer with a range of five octaves—a human volea with a compase greater than that of a violin. While the news is-interesting, it 1s difficult to sep what bearing such a discovery will have on music as an Out of the millions of people in the world it is not at all strange that, now and then, here and there appears l s0me person with subnormal or suner- normal vocal cords. There comes the voice with a profound reach down- ward, and then the volce with a great stretch upward, both judged by the so- called normal voice of most people. A voice that combines both reaches, high and low, the vocal.cords:being enabled to vibrate very slowly for the 'extreme low tones and at an intensely. rapid rate for the extrerne high notes, is more unusual than efther single ex- treme. Yot the reslly beautiful voices -of this or past generations have bean thaee that were gntirely normal in the matter of range, Perhaps some great einger could go a considerable sumber of tones higher than some other great artist, but usually the latter Was com- pensated by the ability to sing some- what lower, or the lower tones were of greater depth and tonal beauty. After all, there is .ng particular merit 4n being able to sing five octaves. Even such a tremendous range is! small, compared to the conndorah!yl larger number of octdves comprised on | the piano, or other instrument of man’s manufacture. The great orches. : tra, with its tones ranging ‘from the | bass viol to the flute, comprises in- finitely more octaves‘than ény human voice. 5 ‘When it is considered that the soul of musle is comprised 'in an octave, that all musical structures are: built upon this pattern, piled on top and below, it is realized that flve octaves in one voice makes. no difference. It is the beauty in one octave that ‘counts. Lenin and His Bill. It is all a mistake, it would seem, | about the war having made the United | States the creditor nation of the world. It is Russia, according to Lenin, to which_ all the world is. indebted, the sum total overrunning the billions into the trillions of gold rubles. The thing would not be so appalling if Moscow had omitted the word “gold” from the specifications. Almost any old sum at all could be paid off in paper rubles, at | their present value, without serious embarrassment. Payvment might tax | the paper-manufacturing resources of the debtor nations, but it would not | take from them much else in the way | of tangible property. Lenin intends to take Russla's| claims to the conference at Genoa, and there, after offsetting the comparative- ly inconsequential claims of other na- tions against Russia, ask that the bal- ance be paid over to him cash on\the counter. Then, it is to be assumed, he will use this gold to buy all the things Russia needs today and will need for a couple or a dozen generations yet to come, so that every moujik can have a fijvver and.live.a life of ease. i Genoa give promises, indeed, of being a merry place. Lenin is not the | only delegate who is likely to be there | with a packet of proposals the open- | ing of which will make conservative- | minded folk gasp for breath. His ex- pectation . of collecting undreamed-of | quantities of gold from Europeé and America is wilder only in degree than ! some of the other expectations which | will be advanced in all seriousness at | the financial and economic conference which Lloyd George belleves will ve- | store sanity and normalcy to an upset world. —— Motorists and Roadside Loot. | One of the effects of wide-ranging | motoring for pleasure is a revival of the small-boy practice of raiding or- chards and cornfields and melon patches.. Motoring parties take toll | on the road, in some parts of the coun- try, after the fashion of the young- sters of other times who looked upon a fence as something built to jump and a grove of fruit trees as some- thing grown to loot. Farmers have complained bitterly of this renewal of poaching upon their preserves, but the speed with which the looters get away | has rendered them helpless. Now, however, there is someé reifef in sight for them. A bill has been introduced in the New York assembly which may become the standard of legislative retribution for this sort of thing. in other states. It provides for the revoca | tion of the license of any motorist who is convicted of stealing fruit or other truck from places on the roadside. Of course, it will still be ngcessary to catch the pillager, and to convict him of the offense. But identification is not very difficult with the license tag in sight, and conviction is possible if the farmer has a witness. If this bill passes New York farmers may be ex- pected to be strietly on guard ready to make an example of the free-handed motorists who believe that all that grows along the way is theira for the taking. - —_—— ‘When Mr. Lloyd George .compares conferences to angels’ wings, no one will dare assert that politics does not produce poets.

Otheg considerations im the sufvey of:the Jodal schiol e~ | Quirements become of minor im- portance as the urgent necessities in respect to physical equipment are ra-1 garded. The committee has been told by school officials and by eiti- zens of this need in practically every part of the District. Specifications have been supplied showing the in- adéquacy of every present school build- ing in point of capacity, the overcrowd- ing of every classroom and the conse- quent lessening of teaching efficiency on the part of the instruction staff. This condition is the result of a long series of inadequate appropria- | top. In truth, this city has never hall a complete outfit of school build- ings. It has always been in arrears. Additions have been made, of cnurle.‘ from time to time, new buildings and ; old ones enlarged, each such Increase ; giying some relief, but never in a, measure to provide adequately at any,: one time ;for the immedjate school populationfand, of coursé, in conse- ! quence, never providing for the as- sured increase. { This condition has not been due to; any neglect ol consideration or at-} ntion by Congress. The matter of | schoolhouse equipment has been very thoroughly examined on at least two | previous occasions and the immediate | and. prospective ‘needs of the local stem have been made known and rstematically formulated with the: hope each time that action would follow. But beyond spasmodic in- creases, never in accordance with any large, broad plan, neither of these congressional studies has led to results. * %k Xk X Just forty years ago under a reso-!p. lution of the Housé of Representa- tives a commission was appointed to | examine and report upon the chlr-'i acter, condition and fitness of all’ school bulldings in the District. This! commission reported that a serious | shortage of schoolhouses existed at{ that time. The following extract from 1ts report is significant! “The amougt appropriated for the, District during the last three years has not been sufficient to do more | than meet the demand for accom- madation, due to the annual increase of pupils during the same time. It is'believed that this statement suf- flclently accounts for the fact that there has been-little or no diminution | in the number of rented buildings, notw'thstanding the number of new bwildivgs which have been con- structesl.” 5 Save in the matter of rented struc- tures that same observation might be truthfully made today by the pres-| ent joint coemmittee, for the situation is virtually unchanged In respect ml arrears. There were then, in 1882, 109 rented schoolrooms out of a total | of 398, or more than 27 per cent | Physical conditions are much better ! now, but still the schoolhouses are | crowded, classes are too large, and the provisions for increases are bare- Iy sufficient to cope with the an- nually swelling tide of school popu-; lation. Again in ‘1906 provision was made for & schoolhouse commission to report upon the possible con- | solidation of certain schools, the abandonment and sale of others, and the character, size and location of tuture buildings. This commission! not only examined all the schools ot Washington, but visited seventeen other cities and based its report upon observations made there. It reported February 25, 1908, and set forth a compreghensive plan of res placements am? Igveln'r-nu. “Hafl that plan been folldwed, with system- atic annual increment provisions, the present crowded condition of the schools would not prevail. Buzl again, as following the report of 1882, Congress contented {tself with making barely adequate annual ap- propriations and reducing provisions for new buildings to a minimum of the most urgent need, thus steadily piling up the arrears. * % ¥ X In 1920 a third study was made of local school conditions, not by a com- 'mission, but by the superintendent, who showed the need of at least 183 addi- tional classrooms in ‘the District to!} aocommodate the school puplls as of| November 1, that.yesr. This survey stowed that 73 new rooms were needed to eliminate portable buildings, 35 to eliminate rented quarters and undesira- ble rooms, 57 to reduce oversized classes to classes ‘of 40 pupils and 18 to elim- inate part-time classes. At that time more than 2,100 pupils were accommodated in portable houses. There were 269 classes ranging in sige from 41 to 45 pupils, 156 classes classes of more than 60, a total of 444 classes in the District of Colum- bia beyond the size which experience hi shown to be the limit-and a igh limit—of effective.school work. In 1920 there-wete atCentral High School 2,837 pupils, which had a “ca- pacity” of 2,600 and was designed for the comfortable, commodation of only 2,300. The enrollment in that: school is today :3,000, or 700 in. ex- | cess of the comfortable accommoda- o e oo PEastern, ai vel el , & Western, at McKinley, at Armstro and at Dunbar. In 1882 and in 1908 there wera many rt-time classes. They Wi re- y were rded as undesirable then, as make- shifts to do the utmost with the ex- | isting_plant while better accommo- dations were. ‘provided. But those better accommodations were not provided. In 1921, nearly 40 years after the first survey, there were 27 p&:t-t‘lme classes in the elementary schools. In 1383 there were many rented rooms. In 1920 there were 30 rented quarters in addition to as many more “schoolrooms” of an undesirable char- lcte‘: l;zcstad in basements and other such places. 2 In 1882 school estimates were based on an estimate of 55 per class, and in 1920 there were 444 classes with an enrollment of more than 40 pupils each, that having come to be regard- ed as the maximum for effective in- struction. In 1882 “portables” were unknown. It would be better if they were not known today, save that they “tempo- rarily” relieve the congestion. * % &k % All makeshifts and expedients such as part-time classes, platoons and portables are marks of deficiency of equipment. The fact that at present these expedients are characteristio S [of. the whole system from the lowest grades to the high schoals, -and in al] parts of the District, proves un-| mistakably that the provisions for! the public schools of the capital have not been adequate for a long period, and that the. urgent need to- | day is for a broad, comprehensive| plan that will each year take care of more than the prospective Increuet in school population and will, ‘t con- tinued faitbfully over a period of | several years, finally bring the local system up to date. . The situation: in: the District with respect to its public schools is Ike that of the often quoted Mr. Wilfer in Dickens story “Our . Mutual end.” Poor Mr. Wilter newer bad had complete new ' suit of clothes all at once. Wornout Pe ments were replaced one at a time. He never caught up with his arrears of wardrobe, and it was not usitil his daughter Bella's stroke of good for- tune that he was provided for once in his life with a whole new suit from top to toe. The District looks forward to the day when it, like Mr. Wilfer, will have a whole new suit of school clothes, when its outgrown and shabby garments will be replaced i constructiorf 6f new baildings in the with new and adequate equipment. * % k % Much of this congestion in the public schools is due to the unexpect- edly rapid growth of the District during the past few years. But there has been no greater congestion—save perhaps thet suffered at the peak of the war period, when the city was ex- traordinarily crowded and schools were depleted of teaching forces— during recent years than in the past, as, for instance, 1882. \n other words, the shortage of school equipment was relatively as great forty years ago and again fourteen years ago as to- day, and for the same cause, failure to provide sufficiently for both pres- ent and future needs in the course of the annual appropriations for school ! development and maintenance. No matter how lUberal the budget may be in any one year, it canno relieve the local school congestio unless it is followed by other liber. budgets for several years com and s then followed by normall. adequate provisions looking to futurc increases. One year's million for new building will be of no moment {f not followed by next year's million, and s0_on. - But the local needs call for more than a million &' year for & period of years. A million a year would, it is estimated, partly absorb arr but at wo slow a rate that it would take a decade or morsto catch up, no- body can tell what the population is going to be ten years hence, ov the schools nceds, as Washington grows not merely in numbers of residents, but in importance as an educaticnsl center, * k¥ % The most definite and conservative estimate that has been submitted by those who have: closely studied the situation is that there should be a new building provision of mot less than $2,000,000 a year for five years, in addition to provisions for snnual growth. If that is undertaken, with assurances of continyance, there is & prospect that by 1950 the District will have for the first time in history an approximately sufficient schoolhouse plalnt. But u; less is done, If the prg.- ent_survey of needs meets . same fate as m 1883 and !I.I'lt of 1808 and becomes merely a matter of recorded opinion the Distriet's schools of 1930 will be as crowded, badly housed, doubled.up, t-timed, pla- zzgg;d and “portabled” as they are So it 15 the hope of the District now jranging from 46 to 50 pupils and 19| that the joint .goncreulou! eommit- tee will .procesd .upon the completion of its study of local school n‘g‘d'l to put inte effect the results of its ob- servations in a comprehensive build.
