West- ern republican leaders have been (counting on a trip across the con- !tinent by the President for effect on the congressional campaigns. They could see that he would inevitably be called upon for speeches on his ljourney, and that in that way the |journey would serve the purposes of ia stumping tour. Congress should copy this excellent example. It should remain on the job while the public business is pressing and insistent.

In his letter to House Leader Mon- ell expressing assent to the congres- jonal program for consideration of he ship subsidy bill President Hard- g provides some very cogent argu- nents which are likely to influence e results of the informal referendum hich is to be conducted while mem- rs are on visits to their constitu- ncies during the period of partial re- ess. The '‘very favorable reaction” hich he hopes will result is made ore likely by the frank exposition of ns which led the administration propose the subsidy method of re- leving the nation from its embarrass- g shipping problem. The President recognizes that the “subsidy” has in the past at- ained great unpopularity in Ameri- politics, but he makes it clear at eircumstances growing out of the have taken the question of a ship bstdy out of the realm of theory and it a practical problem which is g for solution. He calls atten- to the fact that under a policy strictest economy the Treasury has n called upon to pay & subsldy this of $50,000,000 to American ship- g, not counting deprectation and expended in the Treasury during sev-j 1 the District | that in order to achieve success the deterioration in the fleet, end there has been provided neither an adequate service nor even & begiming at the establishment of a permanent marine policy. The question, therefore, becomes one of how to get the most for the -Editor | noney. The present wasteful policy could be centinued until deterioration had gradually destroyed the Qeet, and the American peaple would have noth- ing to show for their ‘Investment of more than three billion dollars. The | fleet could be scrapped outright, which | would involve a loss equivalent to $50,000,000 a year for mere than sixty years. Or the vessels can be sold to private owners, who, in order te oper- ate in cempetition with foreign ship- ping, would have to be paid a Subsidy. good deal less than $50,000,000 a year, and 1t is the belief of the ad- ministration and of shipping experts that it ceuld be gradually reduced un- til within comparatively few years no subsidy would be required. In polling their constituencies mem- bers of Congress will find that argu- ments agalnst the ship subsidy pro- posal are not lacking, but they will be the same arguments which were ladvanced in the years before the war. And in those years proponents of a subsidy had no such argument in sup- port of their proposal as the one which ident Harding now has placed in hands. i Reducing the Bonus. When the regular appropriation { House from the appropriations com- mittee it was noted that there was no provision for continuing the so-called bonus, or extra pay. for government employes, which several years ago was granted as compensation for the increased cost of living. It was at once explained that there was no in- |to the government workers, but that |it the reclassification legislation was not enacted, which would have the ef- fect of establishing a higher range of basic pay, a special bonus bill would < ile introduced and passed. There was never any question that it was the in tention of those in charge of appro- | priative legislation to continue the year. The reclassification bill passed by the House is now pending in the Sen- ate, with no prospect of cnactment he- | fore the close of the fiscal year. From the House appropriations committee vesterday came a bill continuing, not the bonus of the past. but a substitute bonus of $180 per year, a reduction of 5 per cent. This reduction is souzht to be justified on the ground that there has been a reduction in the cost of living since the $240 rate was reached. Originaily the bonus granted as a temporary adjustment of compensa- tion was §120 a year, or §10 a month. { It was later increased to 3240 a year, or $20 a month. It is now proposed to drop it to §180 a year. or $15 2 month. 1f the bonus is on a scale this pro- posed reduction would suggest that 50 ing costs has been regained through reduction. That this is not the fact is definitely proved by the size of the monthly bills of all who pay rent, bu of living. In the report accompanying the bill from committee it is stated that “‘the temporary increase has not been re- | garded as a scientific adjustment of { pay on the basis of the cost of living." i Such an adjustment is now attempted in the reclassification bill. The latter | measure seeks to establish a scaie { commensurate with the services ren- dered, and creates for the first time in the history of the government a system of duties and responsibilit for the administrative forces. The bonus has been an unsatisfac- tory method of adjustment. It was {adopted as an expedient when distres was caused by the sudden increase in living costs without any correspond- ing increase in the government pay scale. It was increased when the orig- inal amount was found to be totally | Inadequate. Being a flat sum. it was not commensurate in that it made no allowances for differences in scales of living. The clerk of higher range of pay, with larger responsibilities, re- ceived no more in addition than the But it was the best that could be done in the emergency, and especially in ! justment. Naturally disappointment and dis- tress will be felt on the score of the proposed reduction of 25 per cent. It is impossible to avoid the feeling that faith has not been kept in the light of the -assurances given earlier in the session that ‘“the bonus” would be continued. The House may and the Senate should correct this matter by restoring the full 4mount of the bonus. And the reclassification bill should be pressed to final passage so l(hat the government employes will not longer be dependent upon these annual grants of grace. ———————— After chopping wood for a while the former kaiser decided to go into litera- ture.

Heretofore women have been nominated for Congress only on the republican ticket, and the two who have been elected to the House have been republicans. A democratic nomination in Minnesota is not as significant as one in a less surely re- publican state.

THE EVENING the polls. In the campalgn of 1920 women ran for the Senate on inde- pendent tickets in New York and Pennsylvania, but recefved megligible votes. Both Senators Wadsworth and Penrose were overwhelmingly re- c!m‘/(ed. and thelr democratic oppo- nents scored many times the votes cast for Mrs. Boole and Mrs. Marion. Since the service of Miss Rankin and Miss Robertson in the House | there has been no apprehension in any quarter on the scove of women in the Senate. It is altogether probable that a woman will reach that body some day, perhaps soon. With the women fully enfranchised in all states, and with an energetic woman's organiza- candidates. In Mrs. Olesen's case, there is @ strong fecling for her in | Minnesota as a progressive with clear viston and sincere purpose to work for sound laws and thorough exccution. {1¢ she scores a big vote, whether | heaten or not, she will be an encour- | agement to the women of all states to | enter the lists. —_———————— Arson. Identification of the man who con- fessed to have set fire to the Veterans’ Bureau building was a clever plece of police work that calls for commenda- tion. Fortunately the fire was of i suished without damage to the rec- ords. There was a strong trace of kerosene, and a kerosene can was found near at hand. By means of that can a description of the man who had lit filled was ohbtained. From the rec- ords in the Veteruns' Bureau a de- {scription was secured of a claimant ! which tallied with that of the pur- { chaser of kerosene. The man was lo- | that he had sought to burn the rec- ords of the bureau which had exam- ined his claim and rejected it. Had it not been for the kerosene can the search would probably have been fruitless. { 1t is a strange state of mind that prompts such an act. The man was !agerieved because he prohably in all cincerity felt that he had been denied justice. He sought revenge by burn- "ing the records. possibly the building itself.

One of the reasons more receatly as- signed for the delay by several of | those closely in touch with the sit- uation, and therefore deserving of ! more than passing Interest, is thie: The longer the appointment of ad- ditlonal members of the rent com- mission can be held up without fm- peding the gommission in the per- formance of its public service, the greater the amount of money saved the government in (he disbursement of palaries.

His sweeping victory causes the Syracuse Herald (independent) to suggest that there is powerful surge of unrest and discontent in the republican ranks. Some shrewd ob- servers say this foreshadows an! epochal realignment of political par- tieg,” But, after all, “three signal defeats out of three for the adminis- tration,” the St. Louls Post-Dispatch (independent democratic) contends. “ought to be notice enough that it was not the intention of the rank and file of the republican party in 1920 to put reaction in the saddie.” And the Chicago Tribune (independent republlcan) s convinced that the rank and file of the party has learned a lesson from past experiences and that now “the voters are getting what they want done within the party in- stead of going outsid The reeult also is a distinot rebuke. the Wichita Fagle (independent) believes, to those who advocated abolition of the direct primary system because “there s such a thing as riding the best horse too hard and too far.” It was because the Iowa farmer be- lteved that “he had been discrimi- nated against, the chief victim of high transportation cost and the special object of the machinations of a money power vaguely known as ‘Wall street,” the St. Paul Pioneer Press (independent) believes, that Brook- ‘hart was successful. In ‘‘case of elec- tlon,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer (In- dependent democratic) is convinced. “Brookhart will make himself heard in the Senate. The administration and the congressional majority are hearing from home.” The Des Moines Capital (republican) considers the re- sult “a personal triumph of Col. Brookhart.” and insists that “it s the duty of all republicans to stand for the nomination as made.” The Springfleld republican (independent) belleves that this-is “the first signifi- cant test of farm sentiment in the middla west,” and considers that it foroshadows the defeat of Senator McCumber in North Dakota. The out- standing result in Indiana. Pennsyl- vania and now in Iowa, the Buffalo Times (democratic) savs, “is a three- fold demonstration of the truth that the voting rank and file can always, whenever they ohoose, have the de- cisive say as to what the party gov- ernment shall bs. Party government is popular government.” Arguing that the colonel was & minority candldate because many voters did not go to the polls, the O tumwa Courler (republican) says “less than one-fifth of the republican voters have spoken for Brookhart. The outstanding features of the elec- tion are the utter futility of the pri- mary system and the deplorable lack of & sense of clvic duty on the part of a large section of the citizenshin.” The opposite view is taken by the Stoux City Journal (repnublican). which arsues that Col.

The Municipal Court was given jurisdiction over all dis- putes of notices to quit premises, as a result of the congestion, attributed partly to the large number of posses- sfon cases.

They are not, however, impossible in an era of industrial architecture which has witnessed the adaptation of artistio nobility to practicality in the Woolworth building; and a competi- tion open to the architects of all countries and stimulated by a prize of $50,000 for the suocessful design con- tains the most potent of Incentives to the realization of the ideal.
