The Senate appropriations commit- tee has justly restored the item of the District appropriations bill, which re- lates to the payment of interest and sinking fund installment of the funded debt, to the form in which appropria tion for this payment has been made since 1878. Heretofore the half-and- half payment of this particular item has been viewed as contractual, and) no change in it has been proposed, however hotly the fight has raged over the half-and-half ratio in its general application. But this vear the House even in respect to this item substi- tuted for the 50-50 ratio the 60-40 ratio, temporarily in force by legislative riders on appropriation acts. But In accordance with the words of the law in respect to this particular item, as !vilcially construed by the controller uf the Treasury in 1914, the faith of the United States is pledged as half-promisor of payment, and not merely as guarantor; and this pledge cannot lawfully or justly or honorably be withdrawn or aitered by the United States. Judge Downey of the Court of Claims was the controller of the Treas- ury who in two decisions in 1914 au- thoritatively construed this law. “The liability of the United States,” he said, “to the holders of the 3.65 bonds is therefore that of guarantor that one- half of the principal and interest of these bonds will be paid out of the revenues of the District derived from taxation on the property and privileges in the District, and that of a promisor that it will provide for the payment of the other half by appropriations out of the Treasury of the United States” (21 Compt. Decisions, 393, end 20| Compt. Decisions, 441). 1In his argumert before the congres- sonal joint fiscal committee of 1915 Col. A.

The Basis of Prosperity. ] In the course of a speech in the ‘House recently which was primarily political, and intended for the ag- grandizement of the republican party ration, Representative Fess of Ohio made statements which were non- partisan and calculated to appeal to men of all parties. He called attention to the basic elements of prosperous conditions present, and pointed out things which must be done by all of us. It is well to think in terms of pros- perity instead of pessimism. The psy- chological effect of the public state of mind cannot be without effect upon material affairs, and it is a good thing to single out and appreciatesthe fa- vorable conditions rather than to dwell unduly upon untoward events. The drift of conditions in the country at large is in the direction of better times. The public can help it along. Mr. Fess pointed out that agricul- ture is better, evidenced by the price current of all agricultural products. | Transportation, he said. is increasing lin efficiency and through various economies is reducing the cost of oper- ation. Manufacturing is on the in- crease, as shelves become depleted by the public increasing its purchases. The banking system is classed as of the first order; rediscounts have {dropped almost 50 per cent from the |nigh war-time level. He contended that labor and capital show a willing- mutual agreement a lower level of cost of production. The Army and Navy. The Armiy bill and the Navy bil jwhen taken up will produce very in Senate. Both measures are unusually important. The armament conference has led to a great deal of discussion as to our national defense, some of it based upon a radical misconception of the object of the conference and of the duties suggested and imposed by the confer- ence’s work. ‘What warrant is there for reading into the situation the advisability of a return to the small Army policy and the small Navy policy which prevailed before the war? Surely the war showed how mistaken those policies {had been. { There must be an adequate force iashore and an adequate force afloat for war purposes if war should come.

Much of a unifying nature may be done in eight months. Many confer- ences can be held. Perfect frankness can, and should, characterize all that are held. The main hope Is in conferences, which are much in evidence now. As Ieng as men holding clashing opinions are willing to meet and “have it out” across a table in earnest talk, remedies | for the gravest ills may be found. “He laughs best who laughs last.” If the republicans in Congress face the music; inform themselves as to just | what present conditions in the country |are and call for, and then legislate for those conditions in a spirit of general helpfulness—having due regard for the changes that have taken place since the fall of 1920, and must now 1 be recognized—they will be able to en- {ter the coming campaign with heads up and hope for a full consideration of their appeal for a renewal of their commissions in November.

The Oklahoma senator has special- ized somewhat on ~1ancial questions. He has often discussed them in the Senate, and was prominent in the work that flowered into the federal re- serve legislation. That he will give the Senate and the country the benefit of his observations abroad is altogether likely. The mat- tar will be very pat at that time—in fact, at any time during this session of | Congress. European conditions are of {live concern to us, and some of them are appealing to us for aid. There was a suggestion last fall that ja committee of legislators, self- {appointed, and divided equally be- {tween Senate and House and the two iparties. should make a tour of Europe nd collect for the guidance of Con- ress in foreign matters of which it might take cognizance information {bearing on what the war had destroyed and what left, and what was possible {and advisable toward world rehabili- | tation. . This was not adopted: but Senator Owen—a committee of one—has been performing the service, and should be !ahle upon his return to contribute something of interest to all on mat- ters in which all are interested. | Raulers of the World.

In saying that women will rule the world in 1977 this prophet admits that he is asleep at the switch {or has a bad spell of sleeping sickness. Can it be that even a college professor should know so little as not to know who rules the world in 1922? ——————— England never gives forth a sug- gestion that she regards Japan with more affection than she does the TUnited States.

As a fellow \ Traffic Policem en Instructed To Avoid Being Discourteous MOTORIST of | the fairer sex, breezing down Pennsylvania avenue the other day, heard the disconcerting chug-chug of a motor cycle heaving along- side, and a horrified glance at her speedometer showed she was out- speeding the lawful limit by about two miles an hour. A minute later she was pulling up to the right hand curb and preparing to explain it to ! the man in uniform, who held an open | notebook in one hand and & poised pencil in the other. * k ok K A common occurrence in Washing- ton today, but this was an uncommon incident, and that's what makes the story. With his cap under his arm, the motor cycle policeman addressed the lady civilly. He neither made her feel like a criminal caught opening a safe, nor did he back up his re- marks with an occasional bit of mild profanity. He simply told her —as any gentleman might tell any lady— that she ‘was exceeding the speed limit betwecn crossings and over crossings, that she had passed an au- tomobile on the wrong side and had violated another police regulation. Instead of ordering her to drive to the nearest preciact station, she was | requested to give her name and ad- dress and advised that her husband might make the deposit of collateral in her place. And this particular motorist, when she stepped on the starter and eased the machine into low, gasped for breath; not because she had been stopped by a policeman for speeding and violating the regu- lations, but because she had been treated like a lady! * koK ok This instance later developed the fact that the new chief of police, Maj. Sullivan, while cautioning his of- ficers to enforce strictly all police regulations, has warned them at the same time that they must use cour- tesy in stopping and cautioning motorists for minor infractions of the traffic rules. And in the opinion of every individual who owns and drives his own car, Maj. Sullivan has acted wisely. And his policemen can do nothing better to put themselves “right” with the public than to fol- low instructions. It is a matter of common knowledge among automobilists in Washington that a few traffic policemen seem to feel it a part of their bounden duty | ! | i like a bootiegger. Not content with a courteous warning or order to re- port to the nearest police station and {deposit collateral, some of them take apparent relish in subjecting the of- fending motorist to a forcibly worded {lecture on trafic rules in generaland on his offense in particular, and at the same time remind him in effect 1 I i 1 ! to treat every violator of traffic rules | grovlng himself innocent at that. It as gotten to be the case that a mo- torist, when aware of the approach of a motor cycle “cop” alongside, un- consciously thiaks of that well known and descriptive phrase: “The coa- demned man ate a hearty break- tast.” * kK % The worst part of it all is that the women have been subjected to this as much, if not more, than the men.

If a new political party was the ob- jective of the group of farmers, labor unionists, socialists and radical church- men who met in Chicago recently it died a-borning, so far as the coming campaign is concerned. However, this coalition of “malcontents,” as the {Roanoke Times (democratic) calls { them, have adopted a program for im- mediate action which a number of i editors consider ‘important, at least | potentially. And upon the success of this program elections this year depends further effort toward launching a new party for the presidential campaign. As the press views the Chicago i gathering, it was an attempt to re-, vive the farmer-labor party, which entered the fleld in 1920, although, the Springfleld Union (republican) suggests, “the career of that organiza- tion was not sufficiently auspicious to excite great enthusiasm over its pros- pects.” And the failure to do movce than postpone actual organization un til after a preliminary try-out in No vember “illustrates again,” the Brook- Iyn Eagle (independent democratic) thinks, “the difficulty of organizing a third party on national line: Recognizing this difficulty, however, the men who purpose some degree of legislative and political reform have decided to concentrate their effort, the Springfleld Republican (independ- ent) tells us, “upon the practical task of getting desirable candidates into legislative office without removing their old party labels,” and “if rasults should prove to be as the promoters hope, the way might be cleared for a labor party able effectively to chal- lenge the American two-party svs- tem,” but the Republican 1dds “that ‘i’ looms large.’ IZssentially the same group that met in Chicago, the St. Louis Post-Dis- atch (independent) recalls, ‘“every iennial election or so nibbles at great opportunity and then is lost be- tween the shoals of incompetent lead- ership and the failure to grasp the principles to which any successful liberal political movement must ad- here,” and so long as they “regularly run themselves, as they always do, into the ditch of group and class interest and of radical party ortho- doxy,” privilege and the old parties “wiil have nothing to fear.” The new movement, however, by avolding for the time being a third party organization, and accepting the tenet which the Philadelphia Bulletin (independent republican) lays down, that ‘“political action in this nation for a long time to come will be based on the two-party system,” and that reform movements “will be successful only as they can manipulate the two- party system to their own ends,” had adopted what is essentially the political doctrine ‘of the American Federation of Labor—*“boring from within” to “defeat your enemies and reward your friends.” “There can hardly be any reason- able objection” that the Canton News (democratic) is able to see, “to the various lsbor organizations getting together to secure through the bal- lot such legislative relief and benefits as are possible by constitutional methods.” This is the theory on which Samuel Gompers has been act- EDITORIAL DIGEST in the congressional| | man. - After all's said and done, Atlas statesman, I regret that he could not | ing for a generation, the New York for lunch and knock off at 2:30 inj the afternoon for golf and other: violent exe: 7 { It was observed at that time that| private secretaries had more to do with actual running of the average business than the boss himself.

This was the peak year for Incomes and tax regeipts. he number of persons with in- comes exceeding a millign dollars was sixty-five, five of whom had incomes exceeding five millions each. Sixty others had incomes between three- quarters of a million and a million dollars. There were 249 persons with incomes exceeding half a million dollars, and 2,983 persons in the United States had incomes exceeding $100.000. After all, only 5 per cent of the people paid income tax. However, this becomes between 20 and 25 per cent of families, and about 8 per cent of all adults. The total taxable income was nearly twenty billion dollars. On these in- comes, the exemptions were another ten billions. What the incomes of the 95 per cent making no returns were is not known.
