Signing of the District appropria- tion bill by the President is accom- panied by the announcement of the Jnames of the six members who will ‘constitute the joint select committee .of Congress to Inquire into the equities “of the surplus of District tax revenues lying in the Treasury. Senators Phipps. Ball and Harris and Repre- sentatives Evans, Hardy and Wright erve, by appointment of the Vice d of the Spealker, in this itting as a court of inquiry mine what portion of this fund ble to serve as a reserve of cash (o meet District appropriation Tequisitions under the plan just adopt- ed to put the District on & cash-pay- ment basis by the 1st of July, 1927. To this court the District now looks for an impartial examination of the fccount. The law constituting this body, the District appropriation act, ‘gives the National Capital community ‘small equity in the procedure. It pro- vides that accountants engaged by the committee and paid three-fifths out of | ‘District. funds shall not be residents of the District, and it makes no-provision for accountants who may in any de-{ gree represent the District. It provides for the assignment of an assistant at- torney general from the Department Justic to represent the United n the inquiry, but makes no provision- for any representation for the Distriet before the joint commit- Ace. It provides that a member of Con- assumably representing the s, may intervene In the tion of witnesses, but makes sion for participation in the same capacity by a representative of the District. In the circumstances the composi- tion of the committee is of the utmost fmportance to the District, and it is therefore especially gratifying that six have been. named who, judging from their previous attitudes toward Dis- trict tters, are sure to vi fuatier of the surplus equities in a fair and judicial spirit without preju- dice to the capital community and to onk; of its claims to ownership in the funds i it has contributed to taxation, and which Congress has failed to appro- priate in the past. Tt committee is to report not later than February 1 next, seven months hence. The date named as & limit 15| chosen obviously with referencé to the next appropriation bill. This may be taken to signify that if the committee | reports a large equity enjoyed by the Distriet in its surplus of accumulated iany given to them in trust, save for three: fourths of the portion of ane s6n. So 'many great .Bounties have been given to soctety through the medium- ship of enormously wealthy Ameri- cans that the course of William Rocke- feller in writing his will is oddly ex- ceptional. The ‘hope is that his heirs will show a broader spirit of apprecis- tion of true stewardship ahd make the donations to worthy, needy causes that their father falled to make. Strikes and Transportation. A doctrine to which an overwhelm- ing number of the American people are ready to subecribe was enuncisted yesterday at Chicago by Ben W. Hooper, chairthan of the Rallway La- bor Board. He said: 3 The right to strike and tie up pri- vate business is quite a different thing from any supposed right to choke and obstruct the flow of Inter- state commerce in this vast_ conti- nental nation. Rallway transportation 13 not a private business. It is essen- tial to the very existence of our re- public and to-the Individual wellbeing of every citizen. I .do not hesitate to make the prediction that never again will there be & successtyl railroad strike of any consigerable propor- tions or importance in this country. The people will not stand for it. The same doctrine applies to public utilities of ‘all Kkinds, to coal mining and to other industries which are so basic thet without them the people cannot exist. This involves a curtail- ment of individual rights and of group rights, but the right of society 'to existence {8 superior to all other rights. It always has been and always will be, and any force which sets i self up in oppesition to this first of all laws will inevitably be crushed. But this right of society to preserve itself through curtailment of the liber- tles "of individuals and sinorities places upon soclety the obligation to see that justice is done those whose liberties are curtailed. It was in . an attempt to assure justice to railroad employes that the Railway Labor Board was created. faulty as an instrument of justice, which does not at all appear to be the case, the people will Insist that the fault be corrected. And without delay there should be provided means for just settlemerit of disputes’ in other industries the continued operation of which is necessary to the life of the people. The time has come when the prin- ciple must be established that the man who accepts employment on & rallway or other public utility or in an essen- tial basic industry assumes an obliga- tion to remain continuously in such i employment until, as an individual, he definitely leaves It, and that he will refrain from any group action which would fesult in a suspension of the {industry. It must be established as well that capital which engages in | such industry also loses its liberty of action =nd comes under the obligation 'cf public service. And society, through the government, must assure to both {labor and capital thus restricted that neither will be made the victim of in- justice because it has permitted itself to be thus measurably disarmed. Protection of the people against the perils of industrial conflict is as much the duty of government as it is to pro- tect them against an armed foe, and administration and Congress which wlill provide the means of such protection will find back of them the sympathy and support of the great body of the American peoplt ——————— tax revenues unappropriated through fuilure of Congress to meet District needs in the past five years, some specific mention of the fact may be made in that bill. to modify the re- quirement impbsed by the act just signed that the Commissioners by in-!and crease of taxation and the change of date of tax collections accumulate a vear's funds by the 1st of July, 1027. 1* is, however, not so important at this time to consider the effect upon the ‘cash-payment plan of the finding of a District surplus that truly and by acknowledgment belongs to the Dis- trict, as that the District's equities in that surplus should be established be- fore the joint committee. Deprived by the law of any direct official repre- sentation, the District will present its| case through volunteer citizen repre- sentatives who are now preparing it in anticipation of the committée's or- ganization. Thé Distriét's representa- tives are capable men, thorpughly familtar with. this- question, and have, | moreover, a sound case to present to the joint committee. —————— ‘While bandits rage in Mexico, old | Pancho Villa is content to tuck his pants in his boots and tell the farm- Teamwork.

Mr. Underwood's promotion to the Senate grew out of his tariff activities in the House. And yet nine years ago, when their Hill, these. men had many differences as to tariff rates and schedules. The Payne-Aldrich law was under revision, and Mr. Underwood. then chairman of ways and means, was in charge of the work in the House. When the House work was com- pleted, it was sent to the Senate for the customary review, and that review was conducted under the supervision of Mr. Simmons, then chairman of the Senate finance committee. Five months were consumed in the review through. the Senate, and when it reached conference the measure showed many differences between Mr. hands to' get busy. | ———— Conan Doyle left America without giving due attentiom to the manner in Underwood and Mr. Simmons as to what should be done. ,Today. however, as against the com- which the ghost. of the old bull moose { mOn enemy, the two men are as one. 1s asserting itself in American politics.

It keeps wealth in the family. Its pro- visions insure that the millions—esti- mated at between 100 end 300—will not be spreed out any more than is absolutely necessery. Four children are to get practically ail the estate, three of them in trust and the fourth a sum partly in trust. There are no bequests for charity or any works making for pubHc welfare or advance- ment. - . John D. Rockefeller, with a larger fortune, has been distributing his wealth in a bountiful manner through various endowments and philan- thropies that have, however, not great- 1y lessened the bulk of his estate. The major part of the Rockefeller gifts bave been in effect met out of the in- come, though the estate has been to some extent entailed to meet these ‘benefactions. 23 ¢ ‘William Rockefeller's course is strikingly “uniike that of his brother. e has’ never; so-far as known, taken any interest in charities on a large scale.

The Hourse asked the permission of the Senate to adjourn for moré than three days.

He is not confined to one’ party, or section, or employment. Here he is a republican, there a demo- crat. Here Jie may be a northern, there a southern man; here an east- ern, there a western man. Here he may be a merchant, there a farmer. The result is the frequent—too frequent—announcement, whether . a | primary or other contest, that *“‘only 2 light vote was polled.” The reasons given show how lightly suffrage is regarded. It is explained in the case of a slacker merchant either that he was absent from home stocking up, or-if at home busy -sell- ing new stock. In the case of a stacker farmer, either that. the weather was | bad and prevented a trip to the polls, or that the weather was so good he felt obliged to stay at home and make hay while the sun shone. ;- Should not such slackers be pun- ished In some w: Why not?

Has the Ibandit urge in his nature heen per- manently exorcised? Will he stand | hitched now? Or under excitement and temptation would he be likely to de- sert his flocks and herds, his growing crops and all, spring into the saddle, and ride abroad upon adventure again? “While he indulged himself he seemed {to enjoy the wild life. He responded readily to. the call of the road and the retreat of the bushes. He was a pic- turesque and successful bandit, got e i liberal share of booty, and sometimes more than he desired: of advertising. .~ He has not been out of that busi- ness long enough to become rusty. He could ' probably ,resume operations with gusto and effect. At the head of a small force—a few thousand—he could make it uncomfortable for the { opposition in his part of the country, | or wherever he transferred his activi- jties. | But is there a suffictent temptation? ]Upoq the whole, Obregon is giving the { country good government.

Golf, tennis, polo, lacrosse, swimming and base ball are some of the more pop- ular sports‘for which ‘space has been provided ‘in’ the public parks. Every eflort has been made by the office of public bulldings and grounds and the play#rounds division of the Diatrict government to foster these and kin- dred sports, with the result that the younger generation of residents of the Djstrict are growing up with opportunities for healthful recrea- tlon equal to those of any city in the country. ] Washington, which is coextensive with the Djstrict of Columbie, has, in addition to the unusual athletic fa- cllities, a climate which permits and encourages outdoor sports of all kinds. Thé winters are. too severe to permit of tennis and swimming, but - golf and lacrosse are playsd throughout the cold months by num- bers that are surprising to those not familiar _with the assiduily of the followers of these games. Tennls has u larger number of de- votees in Washington, ranking with base ball in popularity. Courts hayve been-provided by the office of public buildings and grounds and. the play- ground division in practically every section of the city and some of the younger players developed have be- corne factors in junior tennis circles. Although many of the tennis courts were uscd for the erection of war bulldings during the war, these buillings are gradually being torn down and courts are being rebuflt as rapi®y as possible. Additional ten- nis courts have been placed in East Potomac Park to take the place of those lost when the Navy and Mu- nitions buildings were constructed on 1 B street between 17th and 20 streéts, and other courts are now being lald out on B street between 6th and 7Tth streets, on the site of courts before the United States entered the war. EE ‘Washington can now claim two pub- lic golf courses, with another bulld- ing in Rock Creek Park. The course in East Potomac Park, now a nine- Yole affair, is not completed. and will on busy Sundays, while an_ average of 300 a day through the week not unusual. Base bazll, fostered By the govérn- ment departments and provided with diamonds by the office of public buildings and grounds, Is one of the most popular sports. Although there are mumerous “sandiot” teams which play throughout the ecity, the Depart- mental Lea plays practically all its garhes on the diamonds in West Potomac Park. Hundreds of base ball | players throng these diamonds week- Iy, they are in use nearly every minute of the day. The polo-field tn West Potomac Park is anpually the scene of spirited polo contests In which Army teams from Fort Myer, Camp Humphreys and ‘the ‘War Department meet in contests for trophies offered by followers of the . Washington soclety turns out in numbers to waich the polo players in action, and the pole games aure al- ways features of the sport season of the city. Polp teams from Washing- ton ‘have done well In contests in other citles.

In addition, the Potomac river above the Georgetown bridge 18 a mecca for hundreds duly. A comprehensive program of pro- motion of sports in the public parks, developed many years ago. has been consistently followed and broadened in the past ten years by the engineer officers in charge of public buildings and grounds, Col. W. W. Harts, Maj. C. S. Ridley snd the present officer in charge, Lieut. Col. C. O. Sherrill. Under Col. Hacts' direction the golf course in.East Potomac Park was be- ®un to augment the facilities for the | same offered by the short three-hole course In the western section of the park. The work In this direction hax been carried on by his successor and now another course—that in Rock Creek Park-—will be ready for use within a short time. * k% ‘The Ellipse has for many years been the scene of base ball contests and the diamonds just south of the Ellipse were put into use a few years ago.

Playground sports in the municipal playgrounds are promoted through the playgrounds division of the Dis- trict government, of which Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes Is director. Athletic contests between schools, track meets, ténnis matches and base ball games are annual features of the municipal playground activities. EDITORIAL DIGEST Dual Assassination Emphasizes Dangers of Intolerant Spirit. Political assassination, as exempli- fied in the murders within a brief period of Field Marshal Sir Henry Ijlson and Walter Rathenau, Ger- many's foreign minister, is made the occasion for expressions of regret and apprehension by American editorial writers that the danger of Intoler- ance cannot be wiped out. There is an evident similarity in the reason- ing bohind the crimes, the editors point out, despite the fact that Wil- son was murdered by the men who beljeved that he stood in the way of an ‘all-Ireland republic, while Rath- enau was slain because he was an obstacle to the monarchist plotters of Germany. In both instances it is in- sisted the result will be serious for the cause supposedly represented by the' assassins. - The murders. the socialistic New York Call declares, “show that the mark of the beast is not confined to any class, or any party. or any na- tionality. The men who murdered Field Marshal Wilson did it in the name of patriotism, just as those who murdered Dr.’ Rathenau will claim that they_did it for ‘love of their country.' Violence begets vio- 1f the race is ever to take the first step toward human happiness the mark of In the view of the Raleish News and Ob- server, “both crimes: are striking reminders of the danger of intoler- ance, while the Berlin murder shows how powerful the ‘militaristic spirit | Gtill is in that cotntry.” The Pitts- burgh Leader is convinced that the Porsllst cause in Germany was shat- tercd by the assassination and now “the contemplated ‘putsch’ has mno more chance to win than would the former kalser have 'minglé handed. Should Chancellor Wirth be the next victim, as he is said to anticipate, the monarchists may not need to start the fighting. * The aroused re- publicans may rise and drive them from the count “Senseless fanatics like those who have caused these two murders,” the Baltimore Sun points out, “can al- ways set ablaze brands of suspicion and hate that otherwise might be ex- tinguished by the efforts of capable leaders. Rathenau's death has more international significance than Wil- son's. No good, but only great evil. can come from this murder.” In the opinion of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, “llke the man who killed Lincoln, the two biggest ignoramuses who killed Walter Rathenau have slaip the one man_who might have led Germany vut of her swamp.. In the bitter vears to come, which his taking off will make so much bitterer, she will mourn him more deeply still. | The rest of the world has cause to mourn him. too, though it may not vet know It." The pity of it, as the ew York Times expresses it, is that “gs in Ireland, and in Illinois, the loose talk of highly placed person- ages had its reaction on .crack- minds farther down the seale, but the highly placed person- ages are free from blood gullt, be: cause they never meant it that wa Somewhat similar Is the deciaion of the Newark News, which explains that “the response in each-country shows the temper of the gréeat group which | will determine its futurs. What they do is the important: {hing. The cun- cillatory policy towsrd Ireland can- not .be abandoned. Thé Getman. re- public cannot be surrenderzd. ¥oth have been challenged, and the chal- lenge must be met if the people are to govern themselves. No condeasions to_ wviolence, which is always the weapon of extremists, can safely be made.” “It is_quite certain that in both t Britain and Germany,” the Dayton Daily News points out, “the assassinations will not change gov- ernmental policies, and so, of courss, the murders, in reality, will result in nothing of benefit, but rather much in adverse conditions for those-who instigated or directly were guilty of the' crimes.” -Dealing_directly with the slaying of Dr. Rathenau, the News insigts that~“his untimely and tragic death will not throw Germany inté chaos. It will not help the mili- |tarists. It will not restoré the ron- archy. Baut it does disclose the luri- ing dangers in Europe.” The Boston Christian Science Monitor belizves t “for the moment at least the confidence in the abllity of the Ger- man government, to pursue i Wise and steady policy is sadly shattered.” This especially is so, the Buffalo Times thinks, bécause “the murdered statesman was opposed to the Ger- man militarists and Teactionaries. He had, probably more than any other | member of the government, the con- fidence of the German I"""'“ The foul deed which has done him to death' has deprived Germany of & ‘e personality and Eu- i cfi{mu- T Sentiment. ru hi % 2 -f“. is entertaincd by the Cleveland Plain | Dealer, which declares that Rathenau “was doing his utmost to set Ger- many on her feet. More than any other man he had eased the German iburden. He had achieved much toward making Germany strong and hopeful. Yet this is the man whom ithe royalist assassins marked for their first victm.” |The President’s Dinner to the Farmers. There aren’t many real farmers— dirt farmers, as Washington calls them—in “Who's Who in America,” but any man who undertakes to com- pile a who's-who for the use of statesmen and not merely obituary editors will be very foolish if he leaves them out. X President Harding has ‘enterdined the captains of the steel industry and the captains of the railroad industry at dinner in the White House for the purpose of ascertaining thelr views and urging them to cd-operate with the government In efforts to better conditlons in those industries and thus stabilize business. But there are bigger industries “in this country than either railroading or steel malk- ing. The biggest of all is agricul- ture. So now there is to be a White HouSe dinner for the farmers. Per- haps before it is all over there will be a dinner for plain, evervday wago earners. Whatever the practical effect of these dinners, everybody should ap- plaud the President’s desire to take as many. and us large, as possible Eroups of people into consultation with the government. The farther he gets away from the spirit of the two emperors who met on a raft on the river Niemen at Pilsit | hundred years ago and sajd Europe,” the nearer he will come to the ideals of democracy.
