As the case now stands the United States is out $187,000,000 by ‘backing the wrong horse” in Russia. ns Clarifying Amendments. If Congress wishes to put the District on a cash basis by the beginning of the fiscal year 1927-3 without seeking to impoese any need- less inequitable burden upon the Dis- trict, it can readily do so through cer- tain changes in the paragraph known as amendment number one embodied in the conferees' draft of the District appropriations bill, now pending in the Senate. Those changes are prac- tical, and would assure the provision of District tax revenues annually in season to enable the District to meet 4ts share of the cost of maintenance on the sixty-forty basis. By advanc- ing the date of payment of one-half of the annual taxes local revenues would be in hand in such season. Elsewhere on this page of The Star these equitable, clarifying, non-hostile amendments are discussed, and with an urgent appeal for their approval are submitted to the consideration of the conferees. —_————— Clubs that linger in’a low position regret that Judge Landis cannot, in restricted instances, be expected to improve the quality of base ball. et Japan's cabinet crisis looks like a mild end placid episode compared to ‘the political perturbation on the main- land to the west. Rebuild Belleau! Just four years ago Germany tried sending a crack Prussian guard enemy had been advancing for soge time with little or no check. He was temptuous of the forces south of Sois- to the joint standards of the allies. ‘What happened at Belieau Wood early in June, 1918, is now history, bitter history for the Germans, glori- ous history for the Americans and thefr associates. The Prussian guard flashed a report that thrilled the coun- ; &Y, which had been waiting for weeks ¥or some definite word of how our Belleau Wood thus becare 8 symbol American quality in the war. lve days later, when Foch gave §hgainst the German salient, American droops were sent forward at the same point, and their shelis wrecked the gamlet of Belleau. This was one of ghe necessities of the campaign. X N R. 'auochtlon organized for that pur-|the messages which Sir Arthur report- pose to rebuild the battered village with American money. It is estimated that $300,000 will meet the cost. Of this about $50,000 is in hand or in prospect as a result of the actlvity of committees in the District, Pennsyl- vania and Massachusetts, Now it is proposed that the balance of $250,000 should be raised by contributions of 25 cents throughout the country. If 1,000,000 American citizens will each give & quarter the whole sum will be provided, and the rebullding of Bel- leau can be quickly undertaken. This {s not a “drive” in the usual sense of fund raising. It is simply an opportunity offered the people to give the practical expression of their memory of the thrill that was caused by the news from Belleau Wood on the 6th of June, 1918. The rebullding of Belleau will be a valuable aid to France in its present need. It will be a graceful memorial to the Americans who served there four years ago. It will be a restitution in that it will re- store that which in the need of war was destroyed. The quarters should jingle into the receiving boxes all over the United States. They are now opened Tor con- tributions. ————— The Cost of Campaigning. Gov. Sproul sees nothing suspicious or corrupt in the size of Gifford Pin- chot's bill of primary campalgn ex- This is from Philadelphia: Mr. Pinchot made a return of $93.000 as his personal contribution. Of that amount $60,000 was expended In a post-card campaign, more than 2,000,- 000 cards having been sent to voters. “It should be remembered Pennsyl- penses vania is a state of wide area and great population,” sald Gov. Sproul. “Its people number approximately 0.000, with 2,400,000 of that num- r qualified voters. To send a per- sonal message to each resident on the s of Mr. Pinchot's expenditure 1d cost 1% cents per capita on population, or about’5 cents per capita for each qualified voter. Of course, it is to be regretted It was necessary to do these things, but in an original campaign, with sich con- ditions, the expenditure of large sums of money is necessary if all are to be acquainted with the issues.” Let us apply this reasoning—which is very cogent and persuesive—to the country at large. America is of wide area and great population. Its people number ap- proximately a hundred and ten mil- lion. The number of qualified voters, men and women, is very large. To reach them even by the simplest means, so as to put the issues clearly before them, requires a tidy sum of money. To reach them by the varied and spectacular means now empioyed {and considered legitimate by both par- ties calls for a much larger sum. Cam- paigning has been advanced to the dignity of an art. Such being true—and it is beyond dispute—it will be well for us all to be on guard against the inventions and exaggerations on this subject that aitend every country-wide political contest. The contest now opening gives promise of strenuousness to the point of bitterness; and we shall hear a great deal about conspiracies to flood the country with campaign money and corrupt the ballot bex. America has never been soid, end is not now for sale. At times.grave charges have been made and money figures quoted in support of them, and here and there in isolated cases elec- tion spending has been {lladvisedly free. But, in the main, results have been obtained without money pres- sure. The Wilson Influence. Mr. Wilson scores in North Caro- lina. Recently friends of Representa- tive Pou, who was being stoutly op- posed for renomination, wrote to the former President asking for en in- dorsement of him. Mr. Wilson's response was immedi- ate and exceedingly cordial. He gave Mr. Pou a clean bill of health, and ex- pressed the hope that he might be re- turned to the House. The democratic nomination in the district is equive- lent to election. Mr. Pou has just been renominated. The news from Raleigh is that he de- feated his opponent overwhelmingly. Mr. Wilson's letter must have con- tributed to the result—may have beer the leading factor in producing it. At any rate, the nervousness of Mr. Pou’s friends exhibited before the let- ter was written seems to have been relieved by its receipt. This result will be heralded to other states. Missouri will hear the news, and Breckinridge Long's campaign for the Senate be heartened by it. The Wilson democrats in Massachusetts will redouble their efforts at forming & combination against Mr. Lodge. In New York it will have its effect on the confabulations now in progress there looking to putting up for office this year democréts acceptable to the Wilsonians. The Wilsop men are alert every- where, and with an eye on 1924 well as this year. —_————————— Rumors that Bergdoll is being shielded in Germany indicate an yn- believable wish to acquire undesirable citzenship.

Eyer since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been in this country American at- tention has been directed more keenly than before to the question of spiritual- ism, which is & broad term covering life after death and messages from the departed. Thousands have attended his lectures and many more thou- sands have read about them. Whether there has been any marked increase in the number of belisvers is not yat dis- closed, but interest has undoubtedly been aroused in the gemeral suhject through the' personal eppearance of so eminent & man as the British author. ed as having been received from the other side through various mediums, for whose honesty and good faith he was able to vouch, fall to persuade them. These communications have been to the unbelleving altogether too trivial and commonplace. Even if genuine they seemed to be of no im- portance and to be valueless as evi- dence. Fossibly there have been more significant and more interesting com- munications than those thus given, but as a whole the revelations from I the other side were insignificarft. Now comes Camille Flammarion, the eminent French sclentist, who has been conducting psychic explorations for a longer period than Doyle, with a book called “After Death,™ just pub- lished in Paris, in which he cites a hundred cases of the intervention by dead persons in human affairs, and he reafirms his positive bellef in the fu- ture life, owing to the fact that “the soul survives the decomposition of the body.” But Flammarion, touching upon the question of messages, draws what may be called a spiritual line. Only the souls of the more materlally minded cling persistently to earthly affalrs after death, the more highly developed rising immediately to a higher plane, far removed from hu- man preoccupation. This, he declares, accounts for the commonplace char- acter of most of the alleged messages from beyond the vale. This is really more important, if true, than the ectoplasm hypothesis of Doyle. A Soanish Tribute. This 18 by cable from Madrid: Commenting editorially on the sub- ject of the celebration In New York of the anniversary of Cuba's inde- pendence, the Libertad says today that the United States s accomplish- ing a misston which naturally should have besn the work of but which Spaln proved incap: fecting, wither in Cuba or the Philip- pines. It is the opinion of all visitors to either Cuba or the Philippines that the American record is excellent. In Cuba we put the house in order in & short time, and then withdrew, leaving the people such tips as to gov- ernment that by following them they have managed to conduct their own affairs in the main very well. We per- formed the service in our own way and made ourselves the judges of the length of our stay. In the Philippines we found a much more difficult job, end we are still there. But that we have had gratify- ing success In wnat we have done for the islands is so evident all confess it. The Filipinos themselves profess grati- tude for the advancement their coun- try has made under American rule. And yet there are those among them who would hurry America away. Ambitious and self-confident, they de- sire to take charge and direct things themselves. A delegation representing this spirit has just arrived in this country, and will soon be in Washington to lay the matter before the President and In- directly before Congress. The visit is ill-timed and likely to fail of its object; but the members of the delegation should profit by what they see and hear and return home encouraged to assist {n the further good work Amer- ica meditates for the archipelago. ———————— — America will participate in the in- investigation of Turkish atrocities.

My clock shows variations great— An hour too early or too late. This daylight-saving plays the prank Which causes clocks to be less frank. Yet, when the hours of sunny ease Drift by, as gently as the breeze Which borrows perfume from the flow’rs, Or moistens earth with rainbow show'rs, , Although I am compelied to say I do not know the time of day, Since every hour is bright and falr, Pray, tell me, friend, why should I care? The Small Beginning. “What led you tp become a politi- cal boss?" “/Chance,” replied Senator Sorghum. “They wanted a man to run for a small office, and picked me as the only Though amendment number one of the District appropriations bill is not technically a conference report and is protected by that fact against the point of order, it has practically the sanctity of a conference report In that the conferees fecl bound to ad- here to it, unless agreement to change 1s given by both House and Senate conferees. And both sets of conferees hesitate to take the Initi- ative in suggesting any changes whatever, even though discussion dis- closes that certain alterations will obvlously clarify, Improve and strengthen the proposed legislation in giving practical effect to its avowed purpose. *x x X X Under these conditions it is prol ably hopeless to expect any modific tion of the determination of the con- ferees to impose upon the District such Injurious legislation as, for ex- ample, arbitrary Increase to nominal full valuation of realty assessments and a two-thirds increase of the tax rate on intangibles, though in the past the District, always glven here- tofore the opportunity, has shown the unfairness and unwisdom of these fmpositlons and has success- fully resisted them. The conferees are so committed to the proposed new fiscal system that it Is probably also hopeless to urge hasty and injury-threatening legislation and new the the Senate to put aside for a time u-e] to concur in House's original provision humber one, which continued the temporary 60-40 ratio for another year. * % K % Certain proposed amendments amendment number one are, how 80 distinctly useful and ne glving practieal effect to the intent of the conferees that conference agreement in respect to them seems reasonably certain, If any conferee will venture to bring them up for tnformal conference consideration. For example, an avowed purpose of the legisiation {s to put the District; ash basis” in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1927. The reason that the District s not now on “a cash basis’ {s because Congress has fixed the District's first and only tax-payment day near the end of the fiscal year, instead of near the beginning of the vear. To put the District on *“a cash basis” the first and perhaps the only thing necessary to do is for Congress to change its’ mind about the date when it will require District taxes to be paid and to direct that in some {iscal year befors July 1, 1927, the District shall pay a first installment of taxes within three or four months of the beginning of the fiscal year. R Amendment number one makes no provision of this simple and effactive remedy of the condition which it avowedly attacks. The change of tax-paying dates should be enacted by amendment as an integral part of amendment number one. ‘1t should not g0 Into effect too sudde as in_the next fiscal year, but later—in fact, in_any vear prior to 1927-8. For the system of tax payment in semi-annual installments is not pro- posed as beneficlal in ftself and on its merits, but solely'to meet Uncle Sam’s sudden desire to put the Dis- trict on “a cash basis.” The result of having two taxpaylng dates in- stead of one s to double the book- keeping and other work connected with tax collection and to double the chances of inadvertent delinquency in taxpaying. It is not even proposed to encourage early tax puyments by a ight discount for full yment rly in the year, provided in any states with semi-annual tax-payment plan. Bherctore the District, while * as- senting to the plan of taxpaying in semi-annual instaliments in order to the District on a cash basis in 27-8, urges that the new system be not put into effect at once, and not earlier than the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1924, as th * x ¥ ¥ The plan proposed by amendment number one of putting the District on a “cash basis” is to create a new surplus in_ the fiscal years ending June 30, 1923-4-5-6-7, so that the necessary amount to the credit of the District shall be in the Treasury July 1, 1927. The conferees concede or agree that If tax-payment dates are changed and if the existing excess fund of five millions of accumulated and unappropriated taxes is not eaten up In established counter- claims of ancient resurrected alleged indebtedness of the District to the United States there will be no need of any new surplus whatever. Amendment number one ought, therefore. to be so amended that the Commissioners will not be required to give any consideration to the ac- cumulation of a new surplus until the question of the amount of the old sprplus is determined. Under the concurrent resolution now pending in the House, which is to be passed either as part of amendment number one or separately and earlier. the amount of the old surplus will be determined in 1923. It is proposed, therefore, by amendment, to cenfine consideration of a new surplus by the Commissioners to the fiscal years ending June 30, 1925, 1926 and 1 when it will be clear whether any new surplus whatever will be neces- sary. * X X % Amendment number one provides that on July 1, 1922, the treasurer of the United States shall open an ac- count showing all receipts and dis- bursements of the District of Colum- bia. The first item of that formal account should acknowledge receipt of cash and credits shown by the books of account of the District Com- missioners to belong to the District at that date, including any excess fund of collected but unappropriated and unexpended taxes reported by the Commissioners and approved, if necessary, by the controller of the currency. Amendment number one should be so worded, by amendment if necessary, as to transfer all Dis- trict cash and credits reported by the Comimissioners to the formal separate account with the treasurer of the United States. * ¥ The avowed -purpose of amendment number one, is to prevent the uncom- pensated advance by one foint contrib- utor toward Capital upbuilding of a co- contributor’'s share of the cost of Capital maintenance within the limits of the fiscal year. This can be ac- complished either by charging interest on such advances or by prohibiting them as unlawful. Amendments submitted suggest the greater wisdom and fairness of the Interes ex- action on such advancements for the future, interest to be allowed on any monthly advancement within the fiscal year to the District by the man who was so unprosperous that particular moment that the salary would be an inducement.” Jud Tunkins says he never tried to bet on & race horse but once, After eshamed of being called a race horse and reformed.
