Discussion of the new surplus plan of “amendment No. 1" tends to de- velop the contradictions and incon- sistencies of topsyturveydom in the reasoning upon which it is based. Uncle Sam and the District are Joint contributors in capital upbuild- ing. Hereafter Uncle Sam is to con- tribute 40 per cent and the District 60 per cent of municipal expenditures. Uncle Sam is the active partner in this capital-making partnership, while the District is the most speechless and impotent of silent partners. TUncle Sam has all the joint assets in his absolute control, and decides how much his co-contributor shall pay him for capital maintenance, when that co-contributor shall pay it and at what times, in what amounts and for what municipal purposes these joint contributions shall be expended. In the ten years between 1900 and 1910 Uncle Sam decided that the capi- tal needed great public improvements which required more money for their quick completion than was available from current revenue after the neces- sary and unavoidable current needs had been met. So Uncle Sam advanced or loaned to his co-contributor several millions of dollars to enable that co-contribu- tor to pay the legal proportion of these extraordinary expenditures, and charging interest (3 per cent) on these advances reimbursed himself at his pleasure as to time and amount of curtails until he had collected from the District all the principal of the loan and about & half million dollars in interest. But in accordance with the organic act of 1878 Uncie Sam, having all the Joint assets in his hands and being thus amply secured, was to meet from the Treasury the capital expenses within each fiscal year, and was then to reimburse himself for the District’s share of these expenditures by taxing property and privileges in the Dis- trict. Thus the primary obligation or re- sponsibility was (as in equity it ought to be) upon Uncle Sam, and the Dis- trict was merely incidental contribu- tor. Uncle Sam, who in most matters deals with big things in a big way, and is not as a rule small, mean or picayunish, evidently thought that he was protecting himself adequately in the capital’s financing transactions when he charged interest on very large advances for long periods to his co-contributor, and obviously it never occurred to him that he ought to col- lect interest on any slight and short- term advances within the fiscal year that might result from the late date in the year which he himself had fixed for the payment of contribution by his co-contributor. The surplus provision of amend- ment No. 1 pictures Uncle Sam as suddenly discovering that by fixing the District’s taxpaying day near the end of the fiscal year he has not only been paying first all of his own 50 or 40 per cent capital contribution, but has actually been advancing some portion of his co-contributor’s 50 or 80 per cent share of these expenditures before collecting in taxes a cent from the District. And Uncle Sam is further pictured as suffering agonies of Shylockian self-reproach from this discovery that he has missed an opportunity of charging the District 3 per cent in- terest on these driblets of short-time advances. How does amendment No. 1 propose that Uncle Sam shall check this loss of possible interest driblets? By moving tax-payment day in the District from near the end to near the beginning of the year? And by charging interest on advances to the District in each fiscal year, after Uncle Sam’s own 50 or 40 per cent contribution had been fully paid? Not at all. Amendment No. 1 proposes to safe- guard Uncle Sam against a few months’ advance without interest of a part of the District's contribution in 1927-8 by collecting from the District anywhere from a million and a quars ter to two and onehalf millions in each of the five fiscal yéars preceding 1927-8, and to pay no interest on these premature and viciously unjust col- lections. Why should the taxpayers of 1922-3 pay even one and a quarter million dollars, or even 30 cents, to remain in Uncle Sam's possession and use for five years without interest until Uncle Sam gets ready to spend it in 1927-8? Why should thé taxpayers of 1923-4 give to Uncle Sam millions or mills to meet four years in advance District expenditures of 1927-8? And a like unanswerable inquiry can be made in behalf of the taxpayers of the re- maining fiscal years prior to 1927-8. Protesting against loss of largely imaginary infinitesimal interest drib- lets on monthly advances within the fiscal year, Uncle Sam is pictured as tures he will hardly view payments 2a) Bank B\ulal:’ | by himself alone as advances to be re- paid with interest by his co-contribu- tor. That Extra Hour of Daylight. ‘When the freak schedule was adopt- ed in the/departments a week ago last Monday, without any change of clocks, it was supposedly for the pur- pose of giving the government work- ers an extra hour of daylight. They have had it, through getting up an hour earlier in the morning. But what have they done with it? They have not paid for it by going to bed an hour earlier and thus getting the accus- tomed amount of sleep. In the rarest cases has the time for retirement been advanced. The result is that Wash- ington is a sleepy fown, and has been sleepy for two weeks and will con- tinue to be as long as this weird sched- ule is observed. The government service has been unquestionably affected by this condi- tion. It is impossible to get good work out of an insufficiently rested force. If this daylight-saving sched- ule is continued throughout the sum- mer the executive offices will fall in efficiency many per cent. At the outset most people said: “It would be all right if they only changed the clocks.” But it must be noted that in the votes now being cast through the medium of The Star a heavy ma- jority is being shown against a change of the clocks. It is not as heavy as that shown against the present scheme, which is ten to one, but it is unmistakable as an' index of a posi- tive general desire to go back to the old conditions with no change what- ever. Attention has been called in Con- gress to this vote as an evidence of the community’s condemnation of the near-daylight-saving plan. But Con- gress is in a peculiar position in this matter. It will not order the clocks changed, and it cannot interfere with the executive order which shifted the hours. So it remains up to the execu- tive officers, who surely by this time]| must have realized the disadvantages of the scheme. «Bosses.” Complaint is made that the word “boss” as applied in politics is used far too loosely. It should be confined, we are told, to ‘“roughnecks” and “hillbillies” who make their way to the front and dominate the surround- ing situation by tactics and activities associable with their station in life. The case of the late Mr. Pemrose is cited. He was of high social extrac- tion; college bred; well read; thorough- ly ;at home in intellectual company. And yet, in the lingo of politics, he ‘was Boss Penrose. ‘Well, he never objected to the ap- pellation. On the contrary, he seemed to court and enjoy it. At any rate, he performed openly and unapologetical- Iy all the offices of a “boss,” andggot results which he prized and employed in the further building up of his or- ganization. He reached the altitude of a “boss-boss.” He bossed bosses of smaller degree. As “one star differeth from another star in glory,” one *boss” differs from another “boss” in methods. There are “roughneck,” “hillbilly” methods, and there are methods that betoken edu- cation and intellectual appeal. 1t is @ many-sided game, this poli- tics. All sorts of men play it. All sorts of stakes are won at it. The rules are rather loosely—too loosely—drawn, and some of the play- ers stretch them at times beyond the limits of fair dealing. Neither party has a monopoly of “bosses.” Retiring From Politics. Gov. Sproul, it is announced, will at the end of his term at Harrisburg retire from politics. Doubtless he feels that way now. He has had marked success in Penn- sylvania affairs. His name has been at the top at home for some time. His friends mentioned him for President two years ago. He has appointed two TUnited States senators, and might haVe taken one of the places for him- self. His recent indirect defeat, therefore, in the Pennsylvania primaries must have jarred bim considerably. But he will probably recover. As politicians are reckoned, he is a young man—much too young to be thinking of the shelf, or of permitting others to be thinking of it for him. He will try again when the present smart has eased off. The fact is that a man who has succeeded in politics, held high office, improved opportunities for studying public affairs and mastered them, owes it to the public as well as to himself to “keep on keeping on.” His experi- ence and the capacity deriving from it are valuable to the public. The lure of politics is strong, and maybe is stronger now than for years past. There is so much in the scale, and so much of it is new and of large and wide import, men who know the processes of government and have helped to make the wheels go round feel an unusual interest in political questions and are eager for opportu- nity to try their hands at shaping things. i In considering militaristic possibili- ties French statesmanship leans hard on the adage, “History repeats itself.” Gen. Wood is a brave man, but no- body can blame him fof retreating before a typhoon. A Dry World. “Pussyfoot” Johnson, as his op- ponents call him—and he smilingly accepts the designation—eays that in five years the wkole world will be &y In present world conditions, predic- tions of any kind, of all kinds, are un- usually risky, and a five-year 'stretch is an age. ‘ Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson and "all other champlions of prohibition should keep vividly in mind the fact that, They are within their rights in or- ganizing for the campaign they adver- tise. As they object to prohibition, their proper remedy is an lpped to the ballot. The drys must meet the challenge, and should prepare for some strenu- ous work. Their opponents are cam- paigners of experience, well “heeled” financially, and liberal spenders when aroused. American’ prohibitionists, therefore, have their work cut out for them. They must “keep th&® home fires burn- ing,” and make them much hotter than hitherto. They are responsible primarily to and for the local fleld. After they have made that secure, they will be able to lend & hand the more earnestly and intelligently else- where. Mr. Johnson has been campaigning in England, Scotland and India, but what lies before him at home now will tax him more severely than any work he has done in other countries. et Uncle S8am continues to be the re- cipient of diplomatic reminders of the moral responsibility attending the possession of wealth. Appreclation of this moral responsibility naturally creates hesitation about lending it where it might be diverted to military activities instead of economic fm- provements. —————————— Politicians pay but little attention to the theory that Mars is inhabited.

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. The Bulbul of Pohick. (Our one and only contrib.) I feel it a duty very solemn A contributor to be unto a column; And I have resolved to go to work And contribute some poetry and not shirk. There is all kinds of poetry, you must agree, But none of them isn't too hard for me. 8o, now I will with thy kind consent Some poetry write about THE RENT. In order to proceed in the fairest way I will allow tbe tenant to have first say. “Oh, landlord! Oh, lmdlord' Why dost thou try To collect rents that cause us to mourn and to sigh? ‘What a kind and considerate thing it would be If you'd let tenants stay on the prem- ises free!” ‘Whereupon, the landlord with care- worn face As follows presents his side of the case: £ “Oh, tenant! Oh, tenant! I'm having my cares In paying for taxes and also repairs. These items you know have been boosted each year And that's why the rent has been get- ting more dear.” EPILOGUE. ‘This poem, dear reader, will serve to show How easy we could settle disputes that come and go It folks would come to us poetry writers who work so free Instead of to lawyers who insist on & -fee.

In the first place, under the new law, there are authorized flve commission- ers, each of whom may hear evidence in a rental case as an individual, the right of determination being reserved, however, for the commission as a body. Thus, five hearings are possible at one time. * x k¥ The problem of finding space in the already cramped quarters of the Rent Commission on the fifth floor of the Hooe bulilding for conducting a number of public hearings simultaneously is one requiring early solution. The pres- ent hearing room has frequently proved none too large to accommodate the crowds of tenants, lawyers and in- terested spectators who have attended important hearings in the past. With fioullbl! two, three or more of these earings progressing at once, the prob- lem of space becomes pressing. The government authorities having supervision of the assignment and occupancy of federal office buildings have been in communication with offi- clals of the Rent Commission recently with a view to finding larger quar- ters than are available in the Hooe building. It is understood lhll be- fore the recent extension law acted the commission had requested some 1,600 squars feet of lddltlonll floor area. There will probably be made a supplementary request or a {Pentor number of additional square et. It appears that the only avail- bulldings containing sufficient floor area are in the vicinity of 19ih and B streets northwest, a location convenient as the F street * % x % It is likely, that in allotting to the new commission suitable offices, pro- vision will be made for at least two hearing rooms, a conference room, commissioners’ offices, secretary’s of- fice and clerical quarters. | The Increased turnover of work pos- sible through the new legislative changes will undoubtedly necessitate the employment by the commission of additional typists and clerks, for whom office room must be found and equipment provided. More stenog- raphers will be needed to record sev- eral simultaneous hearings than were required when only one was under way. * * % x These difficulties, while slight in comparison with some of the larger legal problems to be worked out, are of sufficient importance to demand serious attention on the part of the commissioners and their assistants, for it is realized that before the com- mission can get to working smoothly under the revised form of procedure the practical phases must be per- fected. When the commission is appointed and is settled down to a business-like working basis the tenants and land- lords of Washington should have lit- tle cause for complaint regarding de- layed hearings, congested dockets and deferred determinations. EDITORIAL DIGEST Fear That Door Is Opened to Un- limited “Slush” Funds. With “Newberryism.” so-called, al- ready an fssue In senatorial cam- paigns, Attorney General Daugherty has complicated the situation by an opinfon which republican editors frankly recognize as dangerous. His ruling that the corrupt-practices act does not apply to the campaign ex- penditures of senatorial candidates is interpreted by most democratic and numeroys republican papers as notice that “the 1id is oft,” and, as the New York Tribune (republican) warns, it it is taken seriously the results will be “unfortunate.” The Attorney General “gets an awk- | ward statute out of the way"” in time to relleve his political confreres, as the Chattanooga News (democratic) sees it, for by this ruling “the re- strictions so patiently worked out have been swept away” and the “old order restored,” with Mr. Daugherty, the Philadelphia Record (independ- | ent democratic) says, dreaming of a, reversion to the days of “unlimited campaign funds” with which to make | the Senate “a millionaires’ eclub with huge initiation fees, payable from the dough-bag.” Certainly the new ruling makes pos- sible, if it does not ;\c(uslly invite, | the spending of money “w u.humJ stint,” the Scranton Times (demo- cratic) thinks, and if it is applied th Minnesota Star (Minneapolis, inde-| pendent) predicts “a merry time this summer,” for “the old campaign bar- rel will 'be full to overflowing for the faithful” and we may expect several | campaigns which will make New-| berry's in Michigan look like a| pikers.” It is, however, obviously unfair to attack the Attorney General because of the ruling, the Baltimore Sun (in- dependent democratic) points out, since it is merely an interpretation of a Supreme Court decision, and, in the opinion of the paper, he has “proba-} bly done a public service b; struing the he has thus “f “Newberryism” will be an issue “can-.: not be gainsaid,” the Ohio State] Journal (Columbus, republican) de- clares. “it cannot be kept out, it is doubtful if it can be even minimized in any single state,” and “doubtless before the campaign makes great progress senators will learn that there is far more resentment in the minds of the voters over the New- berry case than they had been willing to admi Indeed the “volce of the people has already been heard” on that issue, the Wheeling Register (democratic) thinks, and_“its meaning was unmis- takable in Indiana.” The' Grand Rap- ids Herald (republican) agrees that “cash-register politicians are not in vogue just now.” a pont which ex- Senator Beveridge made ‘“perfectly land Alice plain” when he “put his campaign squarely on a basis of ending politi- cal money armaments” and won. "It has ceased to be politically safe,” the Herald continues, “to trademark can- didacy for public office with dollar signs. A too liberal campaign treas- ury has become a liabllity instead of an asset.” Since this is the popular attitude at the beginning of the campaign it must be recognized, the Detroit News (independent) holds, that “the people are_ insisting that no office in the land shall be purchased, and specifi- cally that Newberryism be made ut- terly impossible in fact as it is al- ready In morality.” The New York Tribune (republican) demands that “every candidate for office, high or low, must submit an account of the expenses incurred in his behalf during the campaign. It makes no difference whether the office sought is that of President, senator or what not.” as the Attorney General's ruling seems to bring out, “the law does not require this,” then “an amendment to the corrupt practices act is needed.” But while “Congress may pass a law to overcome the failure of the federal corrupt practices act,” such laws, in the opinion of the Wilkes- Barre Record (republican) ‘are usu- ally a farce” and ‘cannot be relied upon as the sole remedy because no law can prohibit ingenious evasion.” “Senators who have not spent, or for whom has not been spent, more than the law allows for their nomination and the Knickerbocker Press (Albany, republican) su pects “are probably very rare * * so the formal filing of )lutementa of receipts and expenditures under the law has been in many cases a mere legal fiction which deceived very few, but gave the distinguished statesmen & comfortable alibi.” Admittedly there is “a multitude of problems that must be faced in draft- ing a workable law to prevent unwar- ranted expenditures of large sums to affect the choice of the- electorate,” the Springfield (Mass.) Unlon (repub- lican), says, but that does not detract from “the wisdom and propriety” of expressing that principle in law. While “it is impossible to lay down any rule as to what ought to be spent on a campaign, any more than to la: down any rule as to what a doctor's bill should be,” the Adrian (Mich.) Telexum (independent), concedes maximum, however, should be Prasoribed by Taw and . enforced:” since “that is necessary In order to prevent abuses,” but “that maximum Should not be put so low as to vir- tually prohibit a re onably effective campaign.” What Is & Tuck-a-Dunt?’ | At Chicago on Monday Lady Astor nld. “I don't give a tuck-a-dunt for the unintelligent woman. ick-a-dunt cannot be found in the dictionary.

Lady Astor had said “I don't oae a tinker's dam for the unintel- ligent woman,” she would have been instantly understood, though very few persons know what a tinker's dam is., Most people think it is somethirfg a little wicked and pro- fane, and so it has come to have a special force and _significance. Tuck-a-dunt, we may fairly guess, bears the same relation to tinker's dam that the mild country “darn” bears to the less innocent expletive ‘damn.” But the point {s that if one does 10t care a tuck-a-dunt, he does not are a tinker's dam, or a hang or a ‘ap or a fig or any other synonym r insignificance.

Two steps, separated by eighteen years, have been required to wipe out the invidious distinction between men and women in the Hall of Fame at University Helghts. In 1900, when the Hall of Fame was established, it was exclusively a male institution. Women were ignored. There was no provision for their election. In 1904 they were admitted to the outer pre- cinets of the temple by the setting aside of a special corridor, a kind of annex, for those who might be chosen by the electors. This half ad- mission, ‘with its careful segregation of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Lyon Freeman Palmer from George Washington, Abraham Lin- coln and Horace Mann, gave a semi- comic aspect to the hall and was the cause of regular jesting by visitors who suddenly came upon the rather forlorn looking group of women so obviously excluded from the main tent. The last barrier has now been re- moved abandonment of the sepa- ¥ rate section for women and of all discrimination against them in future elections.—New York Post. Des Johnnycakes? Mais Oui! Uncle Sam sold 65,000,000 bushels of Indian corn abroad the first three months of this year. At last Europeans are coming to like johnnycake and corn bread and corn ‘fritters and corn flapjacks and, maybe, just plain corn meal mush. At least the Englith, Germans and Dutch are coming to like these things, for they are the people who have bought our corn thus far.

The Annapolis naval radio_station has succeeded in sending a time sig- nal around the earth. In an experi- ment a few days ago it flashed the correct time to Australian stations, the waves reaching the antipodes from all directions. Time elapsed beiween the sending of the signal jand its receipt on the opposite side of the earth was one-fifteenth ‘of a second. It is possible now to set all the clocks In_the world from one time station, all practically at the same instant. It should be possible very soon for all human beings on earth, sup- plied with simple receiving appa- ratus, to hear a bit of music or a song at the same time.
