Daily and Sunday 70c 50c O 50 fne e Total Upset of Stability. Tt is argued that a fixed tax rate, Ikke that proposed by the Carraway- Jones bill, gi greater promise of stability and is less subject to changes (avoiding the point of order), by rider on appropriation acts, than the definite ratio of proportionate contribution. It is pointed out that the House has changed the ratio temporarily from -50 to 60-40 by rider on appropria- tion bills, without need of a special rule and avoiding the point of order, through application of the Holman law, nce every increase of the per- centage ratio to be paid by the Dis- trict decreases the amount to be ap- propriated and paid by the national government. Attention is also called to the fact that the tax rate has not been directly attacked in an attempt to increase it in the District appropria- tions bill. From these facts it is argued that the principle of definite proportionate contribution can safely be abandoned and repudiated and perfect reliance be placed upon a tax rate fixed today as a safeguard against change by rider on appropriation b But the tax rate is now prevented from increase by rider under the Hol- man law only by reason of the exist- ence of a rule of definite proportionate contribution. If there is a fixed rela- tion between the taxes collected from the District and the contribution paid by the government, every increase of tax rate increases the national as well as the local expenditure, and is thus protected against increase by rider on an appropriation bill through applica- tion of the Holman act. If, however, the definite proportion- ate-contribution provision is abolished a3 proposed by the Carraway-Jones bill. the stability of the tax rate is at once destroyved and it becomes subject to increase under the Holman law by rider at any time on an appropriation bill. since every increase of our tax rate will then reduce the appropria- tions and expenditures of the national government for District purposes. So the net effect of the Carraway- Jones proposition on this point is to destroy all stability and to make the relationship between natlon and cap- ital and the amount of local tax rayments fluctuating. uncertain ard fickle. The organic act creates the definite proportionate contribution principle and fixes also the tax.rate. The, Carraway-Jones proposition, with the avowed purpose of helping to promote the local welfare, abolishes the definite ratio and renders uncer- tain the fixed tax rate. It leaves the amount of District taxation to the whim of each recur- ring Congress and tempts to increase of tax rate by rider on appropriation bills, since every such approved in- crease reduces the necessary national appropriation and under the Holman 1aw escapés the point of order. Enactment of the Carraway-Jones bill, either irregularly as a legislative rider of the appropriation bill or regu- larly through the District committees, will release the United States from its self-imposed promise to contribute a definite amount annually in meeting its obligation of capital upbuilding, and will leave that amount uncertain and fluctuating, on the same basis as ‘before 1878. But this bill, if enacted, will not return to the District its power which existed before 1878 of fix- ing through self-taxation the amount of its own capital contribution. The nation will continue to exercise the power taken in 1878 to tax the Dis- trict as it pleases, but is freed from the limitation imposed upon excessive local taxation by the obligation under the organic act of correspondingly tax- ing itself. If, however, the nation is not to share definitely in municipal tax-pay- ing, the nation ought not in equity to fix the amount of local taxation. If the local community is to raise sub- stantially all of the local revenue it must. on American principles tax it- eelf, determining for itself how much shall be raised and by what methods of taxation,'and for what purposes the tax money shall be expended. Un- der these conditions there can be no “fair” or “reasonable” local texation imposed by an alien body in which the taxed are not represented. ———————— There are democratic senators who will not be satisfied unless Ambas- sador Harvey submits his after-dinner speeches for advice and consent. { According te Max Harden’s reports . of Russian conditions, sovietism is only a new name for barbarism. Water! ‘The question of Washington’s water supply, somewhat like one of Shake- speare’s celebrated ghosts, will not down. This may be a characteristic of all ghosts and not exclusively a ‘habit of those ghosts that make night hideous in Shakespeare. But, anyhow, the water question will not down. It cannot be settled until it is settled right, and the right way is to build a second conduit. And as the work of building it will require several years it ought to be begun now. The danger involved in Washington's dependence on a single pipe' line, with reservoirs that hold about one day's supply of water, ought to be ended. Cities that ,manage their own affairs do not dally ‘with disaster in this way. ‘The chairman of the Board of Trade eommittes on water supply has made during the past quarter of a century. He points out that Washington's daily consumption is about 65,000,000 gal- lons a day, and that the capacity of the* reservoirs is about 50,000,000, “making it possible for the city to be left without water within eighteen ' hours if the supplying tunnel should be damaged.” Washington has been in the habit of using more than 65,000, 000 gallons a day, and that low aver- age has been reached by plugging up the city fountains, putting stringent restrictions on sprinkling lawns and flower beds, metering water, raising the price of water to consumers and keeping up a ceaseless hunt for leaky ‘street mains and water fixtures in the bomes. The water service has been more or less steadily extended to ad- ditions to Washington and to suburbs, and the extension of this service must continue. The city cannot stand still. It keeps on growing, and people who !-ex up their homes, forming new set- tlements on the commons and on old must have sewer and water farms, service. ‘Washington's single water tunnel is sixty years old. Parts of it are con- {siderably older. It has been working lat or near capacity for many years & mug of ele—and all that sort of thing. Britain and the British have much to think about of grave import at home and in possessions overseas, but at this hour lay aside worry and care to pay tribute to & royal wedding— down Mars, up Eros—while the rest of the world on the bleachers'and the side lines looks on as an interested spectator, sharing the genera] feMcita- tion and joy. ‘What was that other observation of the poet about one touch of nature making the whole world kin? The President’s Movements. The American Institute of Bankers will meet in annual convention at Portland, Oreg. next summer, and would be glad to have President Hard- ing attend and deliver an address. The invitation grew out of the announced probable visit of the President to Alaska. Mr. Harding in reply said that as no plans in detail had yet been made as to the Alaska trip, he could not at this time give a positive assurance. The President's movements are, and will continue to be, dependent neces- sarily upon conditions on Capitol Hill. Washington needs the water as fast |1t Congress adjourns early, the Presi- as the tunnel can deliver it. It can- not be inspected because Washington would suffer thirst between the time of turning off and turning on the wa- ter. It may break down at any mo- ment at any point along its fifteen- mile course. The probability that it will break is good—or bad. Washington would suffer pending the patching of the break. Her suffer- ing would be proportioned to the time required for repairs. More than 400,000 people would be drinking all kinds of water. Water would be hauled in from springs, creeks and wells and sold in the streets for what the traffic would bear. No warranty could go with the character of the water. No one would be likely to inquire as to the purity of the spring or the im- purity of the creek or well whence it came, or as to how the water was handled or in what kind of contain- ers it was transported. People would be drinking raw Potomac water, con- taminated, of course. The sewer sys- tem would cease to function. Typhoid fever and other scourges would be epidemic. Weak children and adults would go under. There would be panic, and an exodus from the city that would jam the roads. People would bivouac along the river and the creeks. Fires would break out. They break out several times every day now, and are generally promptly drowned by firemen because there is enough water. With no water, each fire would spread, and government buildings and private buildings would go up together. The Capitol could easily become a black ruin, @ scrambled heap of smoked marble. .Congress would hurriedly con- vene in temporary quarters, or in a shady grove or an open fleld, and pass resolutions of sympathy for the poor. And everybody would be poor. The Army and Navy might open stations for the distribution of canned goods and blankets. Telegrams of condolence would come in from the mayors of cities. Relief committees would be formed. Water wagons, water carts and hearses would rattle through the streets. Great stores of liquor would be uncovered and run in during the confusion, and there would be drunk- enness and looting. A wise statesman would stand up in Congress and say: “Mr. Speaker, we need an enlarged water supply. The need has been felt for some time. If we had had a second conduit from Great Falls the unpleasant circum- stances which now beset us would not have come to pass.” (Loud applause.) Then would follow & tremendous ap- propriation, and a tremendous out- burst of excitement and enthusiasm, and all that. Many thousands of men would be set to work with pick and drill cutting @ second conduit. Lack of foresight, loss, waste, haste and the reckless spending of money! An old story! —— ‘Wall street represents a specialized form of speculation which after all has only an incidental relationship to national prosperity.

Princess Mary’s Wedding. “All the world loves a lover,” wrote the poet, and although the encom- passing sweep of the assertion mdy strain even poetic Hcense, & great part of the everyday world may be said to be reading with friendly interest the reporis of the preparations for Tues- day’s wedding in historic Westminster Abbey of Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles. Royal and titled lovers may not be of more moment to ruthless Cupld than mortals of less degree, but they command the headlines neverthe- less. Even the most matter-of-fact among us, busy with the homely and necessary routine of the world's work and our own round of affairs, may be justified in pausing to give passing attention to an event that is regarded as of prime importance in Great Brit- ain. § To the feminine reader there must be delight in the descriptions of those fascinating toilets—frocks, they call them? Mere man flounders helplesaly through the welter of words such as applied to the going-away dress of “powder blue charmeuse embroidered in long, narrow line panels from the yoke to the hip”"—and so forth, but he 'visualizes the picture of thronged Lon- don, the overflowing hotels, the fran- tic clamor of foreign visitors seeking the much-prized tickets of admission to the abbey, exerting every wile, arti- fice and bribe; the rush for window seats along the line of the roysl pro- cession, the elbowing in even ‘humblest restaurant to get & chop dent can, and presumably will, visit Alaska. If Congress sits late, he will be obliged to remain close to base. At present the prospects are that Congress will sit late. Not only is there much to be done, but there are serfous divisions about what forms action should take. Unexpected divisions over the trea- ties growing out of the armament con- ference have appeared. There is more debate in them than at first seemed likely. The tariff remains a stumbling block, and nobody will hazard e guess as to when a bill will reach the Presi- dent. The railroad question is still undis- posed of, and now the merchant ma- rine question comes on to be heard. The liveliest interest will be awak- ened when supplies for the Army and the Navy are taken up. And who may say what additional embarrassments lurk in the bonus question, or as to delays they may occasion? The President may not see Alaska this year, much as he desires that pleasure, and much as the Alaskans desire to see him. Speaking for the Chinese, Dr. Sze, the senior delegate at the Washington conference, while not disguising a sense of disappointment, says, “We have gained a new hope and a new inspiration.” Nations are old only in comparison with one another. The world is still young, and new hopes and aspirations are the best aessets that any nation can’boast. Canadian lobsters are being shipped to Paris in large quantities. The lob- ster is a recognized essential to epi- cureanism, and the world will rejoice at this evidence of prosperity. It may be sald offhand, in favor of a sales tax, that it would not cause any- thing like the arithmetical agitation that attaches to the income tax. ‘Too often it appears that the farmer In politics does not show as much fa- miliarity with @ hoe as he’'does witha golt club?

Subtle Suggestion. “What is your object in refusing to be interviewed?” inquired the scribe.

A Kindly Demonstration. “Why .do they display the spring styles in February?” “As a matter, no doubt, of philan- thropy,” answered Miss Cayenne. “There ought to be something to counteract the persistent discourage- ment of the weather man.” i “I likes & mule better dan I does & fitvver,” said Uncle Eben, “foh de rea- dat wif & mule you kin make " do instid of cats. But e flivyer Civil War Forts as a Part ‘Of Park System of Capital ANY of the old forts that de- fended Washington during the civil war will be de- stroyed If action is post- poned too long on the plan to connect up these historic spots with a boule- vard driveway. Attention was called to this unpleas- ant possibility today by Fred G. Coldren, chairman of the committee on parks and reservations of the Board of Trade, who keeps in close touch with the city’s park projects. “Only during the past year.,” Mr. Coldren said. “the last traces of two of the old forts were obliterated, And that process will continue as the' city grows and building operations extend out toward the District line.” * ok x * The residents of the District are not asking Congress at this time to ap- propriate a large sum of money to acquire any of the fort sites or to condemn any of the land needed to open the connecting driveway. All they ask now Is an appropria- tion of $5,000 with which to have made a survey of the for.s and of the proposed boulevard between them. With the survey completed, steps then will be taken to acquire those links in the chain not already owned by the government. Beginning on the Virginia side of the Potomac above Chain bridge, these knolls #nd hills from which the Union forces held off the Confederates extend almost in a complete circle around the National Capital to the Potomac again at a point near St. Elizabeth’ Helghts. Few Washingtonlans realize what a picturesque addition to the sightsee- ing wonders of the capital a driveway connecting these forts would make. Being points of defense, they are naturally nearly all at high levels on the outskirts of the city. * ok k * The numerous bits of Interesting history connescted with them would add to their value as one of Wash- ington's drawing cards for tourists. At Fort Stevens, in Brightwood, for instance, the spot where President Lincoln exposed himself to the fire of the southern army is preserved and marked. At this and many other of the old forts the sightseer may still observe clearly the outline of the rifle pits in which the “boys of ‘61" stood guard over the Capital city. In laying off the driveway around the forts existing avenues might be included as part of the drive where it could be done without interfering too much with the desire to make the driveway ciroular. The House District committee re- cently made a favorable report on the bill to appropriate $5.000 for a sur- Hospital in Congress EDITORIAL DIGEST Convention Versus ‘Primry‘ Becsuse “present conditions are so favorable to a reaction in this particular,” the Springfield Republi- ean (independent) thinks President Harding’s stand for a return to party conventions instead of nominat- ing primaries “may start some- thing,” and a number of editorial writers agree that a stimulus may be given to the dissatisfaction with the primary system that may result in a political issue. There has been & strong undercurrent in republican circles favorable to a return to the old convention system, and the Al- toona Mirror (independent) proph- esies that party leaders who ‘“have never cared to come out in the open for the reason that they feared the electorate might rise up ant smite them’ will now “take courage' from the President’s remarks in a recent speech in Washington. It might be suggested, the Indianapolis News (independent) ventures, without meaning “to be disrespectful,” that Mr. Harding is not wholly unprejudiced in the matter of convention® and primaries, for it recalls that in the 1920 campaign “the primaries spoke with one voice, and it was not for him, and the conven- tion with another—and it was th convention that controlled.” Bu conceding that the expression of “alleged popular preference” was ignoved in the republican convention. the Butte Post (repubiican) points out that “it has never been intimated anywhere that the national conven- tion made a mistake when it .ominated Harding,” and ‘the Harris- burg Telegraph (republican) is surc that the President’s view “will have large support among those who have watched the operation of this alleged relorn;.’ulll tl'\llnn.lnmtlm'l of candidates r public offic roleier this “free-for-all method,” the Telegraph continues, the frequent result “is the nomination of utterly unfit candidates, who wabble through and are placed upon party ticket: further, ¢ “Invites extravagant use of money and gives place to the rich man in politics' as against the poor man who may in every way be better qualified for the public service.” After an experience dxtending over several the Cleveland Plain Dealer (in- dependent democratic) arrives at th conclusion that “the direct primary does not live up to its advance notices. It does not give us abler public officials. It has not materially curbed the ‘bosse and with the Telegraph, the Plain Dealer finds it “practically impossible .for'a person without means to seek a momination in any closely contested sta district.” -Therefore, it believes' “the words of the President worth con- sidering by both parties” because “merely standing pat on the primary will get us nowhere. The President’s preference for party conventions {s merely & ph of the political philosophy he has advanced ever since he came into prominence, the Springfleld Union -epublican) points_out. his faith in “conference and the best minds,” in the ‘“col- lective vision” of the party as greater than that “of any section or indi- vidual of it.” But “the convention plan can’t bring the ‘best min back” to Congress, the Newark News (independent) asserts. The primary is “not a perfect plece of political machinery,” but, granting all that has been proved against it, the Richmond Times-Dispatch (demo- cratic) still holds, with many other writers, that “it is by no means demonstrated that the primary should be discarded,” at least, “it has given to the people the power to act in their own behalf whenever they de- sire to exercise that power.” The rimary “is & good tool” the Ohio gtata Journal (Columbus, republican) declares, “even if its use thus far has been often neglected by those who own it and perverted by those .who adapt it to their own. ends,” agresl ng with the Roanoke Times (democratic), that “popular indifte) ence” is chiefly responsible for the Hmited success of the “zw e okt Fomeay, the ent’s Dropo m ?x:n\ll ent” declaration' of a party in natlonal convention, expressing the aonscience of its membership in representative conyentions, aith which the_Indlanapolis pendent) finds “touching;’ have had so many conventions “that were not ntative, were strang- ers to consclence, ln%cmm untainted by intelligence.” The New York Even- ing World (democratic), however, suggests that by the ge of the word “intelligent” to “honest” we would have “an excellent philosophy of politics,” but it feels that conven- fions have a way of. being more in- Star warns that 2 vey, and it is now en the House cal- endar. Civic organizations are anx- fous to have the Senate District com~ mittee take similar action, Once the project has been system- atically surveyed and planned, civio lenders say, they expect to make more rapid progress in obtaining this val- uable addition to the park s: atem. The District Commissioners only a few days ago included the bill for a survey of the old forts in the list of legislation which thoy urged the Sen- ate District committee to take up. * K * ok In reporting the bill favorably the House District committee said, in part: ; “These forts are located generally on high ground on the jutskirts of the District, so that Ir addition to their historical interest, as the nolnu' selected for defense of the Natlonal Capital, they and the parkway con- necting them would afford magnifi- cent'views of the city, the Potomac and the surrounding country. “The fort parks would also serve particularly well as small recreation places for many areas located at some distance from the larger parks. Some of these old forts, such as Dupont and Davis, have already been acquired, and no doubt existing highways wil in some cases serve as the parkway, | as for example, Alabama avenue, in the case of the forts above named and others to the south. The parkway would connect with existing parks | and form a beautiful and interesting adjunct to the system. It is not the ! intention of this legislation to author- ize acquisition of any land at this| time, but merely to authorize prepara- tion of plans and estimates for the ad- dition to our-park system of these old forts and proper approaches to and connections between them, at such time in future as Congress may see fit to authorize actual acquisi- tion.” * ok ok K From the Virginia side of the Po-! tomac, above Chaln bridge, to Rock creek the following forts are located: Fort Sumner, Fort Kirby, Fort Cross, Battery Alexander, Battery Balley, Battery Benson, Fort Mansfleld, Fort Simmons, Fort Bayard, Battery Ver- mont, Battery Martin Scott, Battery Kemble, Battery Cameron, Battery Parrott, Fort Gaines, Fort Reno, Bat- tery Rossell, Fort Kearney, .Battery Terrill, Battery Smeade, Battery Kingsbury, Fort De Russey. From Rock Creek to the Eastern branch: Battery Sill, Fort Stevens, Fort Slocum, Fort Totten, Fort Slem- ‘mer, Fort Bunker Hill, Fort Saratoga, Fort Thayer. Fort Lincoln. East of Eastern branch extending to Potomac river on the Maryland side: Fort Mahan, Fort Meigs, Fort Dupont, Fort Davis, Fort Baker, Fort Wakner, Fort Ricketts, Fort Stanton, der, Fort Carroll and Fort ‘the mass of voters will not surrender the weapon the direct primary has placed in their hands,” and “only a reckless politician would venture to svggest” it. But the Omaha World- | Herald (independent) believes that “the signs are unmistakable” that such a move will be undertaken, and that “President Harding is clearing the way.' Planning for Land Disarmament. l A commission of the league of na- tions is preparing a plan for the next assembly on the reduction of land ar- maments. It is not an easy subject on which to arrive at an agreement. There are two main difficulties. One is to reach a settlement in principle, and here France exercises an absolute veto; the other Is technical, in that while* everybody knows what s & capital ship or a submarine nobody can define nfunitions and nobody can define an army. Almost everything from cotton to cannon is munitions; every able-bodied male is a potentiai soldier. It is, therefore, ry hard to establish a ratio on land similar to the one established on the sea. Nevertheless, the thing is not im- possible, for it has been done. Ger- man and Austrian land armaments are regulated to the smallest detail. And if it was not beyond the power of the human mind to determine what was the minimum of safety for Germany and Austria, it is not beyond human power to regulate other armaments in some ratio to the base line fixed for these two nations. If Germany is safe with 100,000 men, how large an army does France need? It is possible, therefore, to overwme' the technical difficulty. The real ob- stacle is fear and its side partner ambition. Once the main French fear has been met, the league can fail only if it is too timid. The greater its au-: dacity the greater will be its achieve- ment.—New York World (democratic). ‘Why Shoes Cost So Much. One reason that shoes cost so much is furnished by the annual report of a corporation that says it makes more shoes than any other in the world. Though this company did a smaller volume of business in 1921 than In 1920, it had 2 much larger profit in 1921. Gross sales were $74,970:000 1n 1920 and only $58.892,000 in 1921. But the company paid a dividend of only 12.86 per cent on the common stock— amounting to $3,150.441 in 1920— while it pald a dividend of 21.58 per cent—$4,642,889, in 1921. Gross sales were about $16,000,000 less, but divi- dends were almost $1,600,000 more. Angd_that's a kind of arithmetic that pinches the pocketbook of the com- mon man very badly. After the manufacturer has as large a profit as that out of making shoes there isn't much chance or likelihood that the retaller ddes any profiteering.—San Fnr)lclseo Call and Post (independ- ent. .
