The conferees on the appropriation bill for independent establishments « have agreed to the item of $1,600,000 for the purchase of seven plots of sround on which the government's lease is about to expire. and on which certain war buildings; still necessary for the transaction of government business, stand. The agreement is in conformity with the commonest prin- ciples of common sense. The govern- ment spent $2,000,000 in putting up these buildings. They are not hand- some, not permanent, and ought to be torn down as soon as they arc no longer needed. But the government, through responsible officials, says that these buildings, with & floor. space of about 834,000 square feet, are needed, and that if possession of them is re- linquished at the expiration of the lease on the private-owned land the government will be under the neces- sity of renting a like amount of office space at an annual rental of some- thing like half a milljon dollars. It has been pointed out that three years’ rental at such a figure would - equal the price of the land on which the buildings stand, end that the gov- ernment could use the temporary buildings for fifteen years. It is cheap- er to buy the land and use the pres- ent buildings than to vacate them and rent other quarters. and above all this the government will own a large tract of land which it can ultimately add to Potomac Park or use as sites for per- manent government buildings, the need of which is already felt and will be felt much more keenly as time passes. With such facts and figures before it, it may be’assumed that the House will accept the conference re- port as in full accord with its program of economy and efficiency for the gov- ernment. Bonus Now Up to Senate. Passed by the House yesterday by an overwhelming majority, the soldier bonus bill still has to run the gantlet of the Senate and of executive scru- tiny, end it is by no means assured that it ever will be written into law in its present form. While the vote in the House was 333 to 70, a wide mar- gin over the two-thirds vote necessary to override a presidential veto, the de- bate made it plain that a great many members whe voted for the measure are not satisfled with its provisions. The rule under which the vote was taken yesterday shut off opportunity for amendments, but should the Senate pass the bill in amended form the House either could concur by e ma- fority vote of send the measure to conference, and by a majority vote ac- cept a modified bill agreed to by the conferees. There is a large body of sentiment in the House in support of the view of President Harding and Secretary Mellon that no bonus should be voted without provision for raising the money to meet its charges, and the logic of this view now is emphasized by the disclosure that 1922 tax collec- tions will fall $209,000,000 below the estimates. The best information as to Senate: oplnion "is that if a bonus bill | POrts: is passed by that body at the present session. it will be accompanied by some provision for additiopal taxation, either through a sales tax or other- wise, thus elimirating the very serious meénace to natiopal well-being found in the present measure. That the Housé would agree to such’an amend- ed bonus program is generally ac- cepted. . i —————————— The armies of occupdtion enjoy the distinction of being among the few visitors in the region of the Rhine who did not have to pay their own expenses and leave tips besides. —————————— When Col.

The Small Loan Bills. ‘There ought to be no question as to which of the two small loan bills now in Congress should receive legislstive sanction. These bills represent the best conception of their respective authors as to certain public needs and there ought not to be injected, and probably will not be injected, any per- sonal bitterness in the discussion of the features of these bills. They ought to be, considered on their merits, ahd that which comes nearest meeting the situation sought to be corrected should be approved. * Bt this'much is plain: One of these bills, known as the Commissioners® bill, was drafted in consultation be- tweéen ‘the District authorities and the citizens’ committee “on remedial loan law, and it is perfectly smafe to say that in that committee is & more intimate and nearly exact knowledge of the history and requirements of loan legislation in the District than is to be found in any other body. This ‘bill has been approved by the Board of Trade, Chamber of Com- merce and the Federation of Citizens® Assoclations, and will stand every form of analysis that can be applied 19 At. The main aim of the pedple behing this bill, and they represent the same'element in our population which X : S ML s 0 0 S S O 0 R 0 e e B S, SRIRIOM o e S i oo MR M s R L e i fought the loan-shark evil and put through the present law, is to en- courage the legitimate business of making small loans to persons needing them, ‘both on notes and pledges, and to protect the borrowers against ex- tortion and other fraud. These ats the people who drove the loan sharks ont of the District, convicted them in courts, and they want to keep them out of the District. The other bill in Congress, called the pawnbrokers’ bill, has not behind it % | the thought, experience and civic in- dorsement of the Commissioners’ bill, and it containe certaln features, or cer- tein omissions, which the citizens be- hind the Commissioners’ bill fear may permit a return to business in the District of men who were convicted of loan sharking. The pawnbrokers® bill makes 2 new law and reopena the whole subject, whereas the Commis- sioners’ bill simply amends tift present law, which has been sustained by sev- eral decisions in the Court of Appesls end two'in the Supreme Court of the United States. The only change the Commissioners’ bill would make In the existing law is an increase in the rate of interest from 1 per cent to 2 per cent a month, and the authorities on this subject say that this rate will en- able companies to do a legitimate busi- ness in lending money in small sums on notes and pledges. And it should be borne in mind that the present low rate of interest allowed, which has extinguished the legitimate business of money-lending and stimulated fllicit money-lending with extortionate prac- tices, was not the rate of Interest pro- posed by the loan-shark hunters when they backed the bill which became & law February 4, 1913, and which is now the law. That low rate of in- terest was put in the bill by amend- ment against the opposition of the loan-shark hunters. ‘The Commissioners’ bill has been in the hands of the District committee of the House for a long time. No hear- ings have been held on it and no ac- tion has been taken on it. In the Sen- ate the Commissioners’ bill has been reported out of the District commit- tee, and has been on the Senate calen- dar since June 22, 1921. The Commis- sioners’ bill should pe favorably re- ported from the House District com- mittee, and should be substituted for the pawnbrokers' bill, which has al- ready been before the House in com- mittee of the whole, and which it is planned to take up on next District day. The Coal Strike. Developments of the hour in the situation touching the Impending coal strike present many serious and ominous features, forecasting a bitter contest between the operators and the miners, with possibility of workers in other industries being drawn into the melee. Crimination and recrimination as to motive and intention come from both sides. No power to prevent the strike seems. possible of application. Today the policy committee of the miners is meeting in Cleveland to take steps “to cause the strike to run auto- matically once it is started.” The anthracite miners and operators agree upon plans for the protection of the collieries while the strike is on. The country meantime is “diggin® in" for the battle by stocking up in- dustries with coal for & long siege. President Lewis of the union asserts that “Dbig business” is seeking to crush unionism. Samuel Gompers of the Federation of Labor promises “ynited and effective support” of his great organization, and President Lewis announces that the Rail and Miners’ Protective Alliance has been formed, with & membership of 275,000 railway men and miners, to resist the alleged attempt to break down the unions. All is not harmony within the miners’ ranks, however. Illinois miners demand the right to make a separate agreement with the operators, which President Lewis opposes. It iw assert- ed that if Illinois should be allowed to mine while an otherwise general strike were on, the coal trade of Lake Erie for the upper lakes and the northwest, amounting to a hundred million dollars a year, would go to Tllinois. This proposition will be taken up at today’s meeting in Cleveland. What of the government's attitude? Attorney General Daugherty is quoted as intimating that the Department of Justice may have something to say at one minute past midnight March 31, adding that action by the government would be & step further than has been taken by any other govern- ment, a little more drastic and a little more specific. Commenting upon the Attorney General's warning against violence, William Green, sec- retary-treasurer of the United Minc ‘Workers, charges that the warning means that the miners will be coerced in order to insure production, but that the operators will be the real com- mitters of violence by adhering to re- fusal to meet the miners in conference on & new contract. And so the controversy goes, both sides becoming more bitter, the gen- eral public more certain of being caught between thefiring lines, with its only recourse dependence upon the government to see that production and transportation are maintained. PEARSCO ‘The Maine election gave the statis- ticians fewer to handle thap they had in 1920. The prophetic in- ferences, however, have divided on party lines just as they did then.. The presidential golf score is the only point on which Warren G. Hard- ing can be accused of secretiven Maine and the Country. The reasoning about the Maine re. sult iz not in every case happy or per- suasive. Take here and there a democratic handling of the figures.

Take here and there'the quoun' hy republicans of the old saying, “As goes Maine, 80 goes thie Union,¥ This Maine dietrict having gone blian last Monday, the calculationils the coun- try will follow on the same side in November. But the country has not always fol- lowed Maine. A conspibuous instance occurred in 1890, thirty-two years ago. In September of that year Maine re- elected by substantial majgrities her four republican candidates for Con- gress, but in November the democrats easily carried the House, and Charles F. Crisp succeeded Thomas B. Reed, Maine's favorite son, in the speaker- ship. Last Monday's election settled noth- ing but the contest in the third Maine district. The complexion of the next House depends on the record of the present session of Congress, which is still in the meking. ‘ @Gen. Coxey’s Threat. Gen. Coxey, of Coxey army fame, threatens another invasion of Wash- ington. This time he has in mind pressing Congress to consider and pass certain economic measures he has | y, prepared bearing upon the unemploy- ment question. The first invasion took place twen- ty-elght years ago. At that time there was considerable unrest in the. coun- try, and this Ohio man conceived the idea of leading & force of the idle and discontented, gathered along a route from the Buckeye state, into Wash- ington and impressing Congress with “the majesty of numbers.” But by the time the force reached ‘Washington the numbers were lack- ing. Only a weary and bedreggled squad of men found the way down Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol. and there confronted e prominent werning, “Keep off the grass.” The whole affair was e fizzle, and served only as entertalnment of no high order. There is much more unrest in the country today, and something like an army might be recruited for spectacu- lar purposes. But would an army thus paraded on Capitol Hill influence Con- gress in favor of any measure or meas- ures it was advocating? On the con- trary, would not the spirit of co- ercion, so plainly if crudely displayed, be likely to influence Congress out of self-respect to turn its face the other way? " If Gen. Coxey’s measures are no bet- ter considered than his proposed plen for pushing them, Congress would do { of them as new and costing an average Ior 40 cents apiece, he must spend $1.20 well to pass them up, and adopt other means of providing jobs for the job- less. $ Tihe taxpayer has to provide a rather long and expensive treatment while the United States Treasury re- covers from a case of shell shock. i Jury duty now enables women to understand that men were actually detained after office hours, and why they often came home tired and sleepy. $ The friends of Will Hays earnestly hope his new duties will never require him to referee a beauty contest emong the film stars. ;, The only luck Ireland appears to have is to get a turn in the conversa- tion that will suggest a new cause of fighting. { Ladies were permitted to witness the prifie fights promoted by Tex Rickard, but they are barred from his trial.

The last Sunday night of every month was a musical service, with the pas- tor's remarks limited to a very few minutes, and a cantata was always given, or else gome excerpts from some oratorlo. After the lapse of a short time, while the reputation of these scrvices was being spread, it usually was found necessary to place extra chairs in the aisles to take care of the increased congregations. The attendance would often be more than 800, and the pastor of the church was the most enthusiastic supporter of the musical service. The clergyman who took exception to the wheezy choirs is right. They should be done away with, but the question is whether or not it should be by the substitution of & phono- graph or by the engaging of a choir that has progressed bevond the wheezy class. for new music a week.

A French scientist has found a com- plete blological justification of the flea—except to the minds of those who would not concede any right of life to the dog. In spite of his more genlal qualities, the dog is & moody creature, unable to keep his mind off the unhappy side of life long at a time. and much given to fits of un- healthful introspection. His mournful howling at the moon has been noticed clear back into ancient times, not be- cause the moon has done anything to him, but merely because there is nothing better to howl at in sight. If it is the dark of the moon when the fit comes over him, and nothing else is in sight to howl at, he just sits down on his haunches and howls at random. And there is where the benign min- istry of the flea comes in.
