Though there was ground for in- terpreting the new fiscal law as di- recting them simply to raise the cash- basis surplus of revenues by the 1st of July, 1927, and not in equal annual increments beyond current require- ments, the Commissioners have con- strued it as mandatory in requiring annual installments. They have, there- fore, proceeded to readjust the tax rate for the new fiscal year, and have decided that the rate of $1.30 on each $100 of assessed value will yield enough to meet the year's appropria- tion requirements and enough over to give. in the same proportion, by July 1, 1927, $3.000,000 extra or surplus revenue in hand. In fixing this new rate the Commis- stoners had first to take into account the fact that the law now requires full-valuation assessment of real prop- erty, tangible personalty being still thus valued as before. This neces- sarily involved a reduction of the rate. would give a return greatly in exces: of current and surpius-making needs. Had it not been for the interpretation that the law required annual contribu- tions to the cash-basis surplus the Com oners might have reduced the rate to about $1.215, and secured enough money to meet the appropria- tion requisitions for the year. Again, in determining the new rate the Commissioners concluded that the law, though recognizing the possibil- ity of the District possessing an equity in its own cash In the Treas- ury, accumulated during several years of inadequate appropriations by Con- gress, did not justify them in taking into account any part of this fund as @ potential part of the cash-basis sur- plus, until the joint committee, which is just about to begin its inquiry, has made its report and that report has been accepted as a final judgment. It may be urged. however, that a con- | trary view obtains even in Congres: and that by many is held that Congress has recognized that there is a possible contribution to the cash- basis surplus in the District's equi- ties in the existent surplus in the Treasury. As the case stands, with the tax rate fixed at a figure which will yleld an annual instaliment on the cash-basis surplus, if the joint committee reports and Congress agrees that the District has title to any part of its own tax| money which has been illegally al- lowed to accumulate in the Treasury, to the extent of that equity the addi- tional tax yield annually for the cash-| basis requirement will be lessened. ‘Thus the lower rate and annual tax return may come at another stage of the five-year period, rather than at the beginning. It must be assumed that the District will get the benefit of such a finding in terms of imme- diate release from heavier taxes, for the law plainly contemplates the use of the District’s surplus for cash-basis purposes. By thus immediately increasing the ]| tax yield beyond current requirements the Commissioners insure that $600,- 000 of District tax money will be held in the Treasury of the United States for at least four and, part of it for four and a half years without use and without interest, the United States having the benefit of this money with- out paying for it. in the full period while is waiting for employment in meeting requirements under appropriation laws will be approximately $50,000, and a somewhat smaller sum in inter- est will be lost to the District tax- payers each year on the succeeding “Installments. Atgthe lowest calcula- tion in the course of the five years ‘while this sum is being accumulated the District taxpayers will lose $120,- 000 in interest on their money placed in the federal depository while await- ing appropriation. . - Having thus forced the ralsing of ‘more taxes this year than the District now needs, in order that later it will . be in a position to meet requisitions “for appropriations out of its own funds, it must be assumed that Con- gress will keep faith with the District and will not regard the ability to - ralse more than the current require- ments, even at the 60-40 ratio, as in any manner a justification for another change of the ratio. Having compelled the advance of the assessment from two-thirds to full valuation, en addi- » tion of one-half, the lowering of the * rate was inevitable. The Commission- ers have put it higher than the point that they would have been justified in considering & proper rate at the ‘present stage of the cash-basis surplus creation. It is, therefore, likely later to be reduced, especially if and when the present surplus is declared to be @ District asset. Such a reduction should riot be rated as evidence of undertaxation and as warrant for a further attack, perhaps, upon the ratio mow made permanent by substantive legislation in the appropriation law. A strike should be easily disposed of iin view of the fact that nobody is ‘willing to admit that he desires it. ! Save the Trees! ' Kill the caterpillars! It is every- body’'s task just now to destroy the “little fuzzy worms that are crawling about in search \of places to build ~ioocoons from which to hatch other worms that est the leaves of 'the 7 To apply the old rate of $1.82 The interest on this | the cash! trees. They are -everywhere. Their white nests are snuggled into the rough places of the bark. The worms themselves are slipping up ths tree trunks. They are on the sidewalks, on the fences, all in places that can be reached by the foot or by sticks. Gangs of men are going about town spraying the trees, but this is a slow process, somewhat intermittent, and much hampered by the presence of motor cars in parking lines along the curbs. The best work of extermina- tion can be done by the householders, who can charge themselves with the care of the trees In front of their premises. The trees are Washington's glory. They should be protected by all who enjoy their shade and the comfort of their presence. It is a little thing to - |do, to safeguard them from the pests | that crawl annually. A strip of cotton wool fastened around the trunk of the tree a few feet above the ground will stop the advance, if placed In time. Smashing the worms may not be pleasant, but it is necessary, if this generation of leaf-eating nui- s is to be limited. Every worm killed is a gain, like every Hy that is swatted. Each crawler allowed to nest may producs a great many others. So kill as many as possible and rid the trees of the cocoons at once. America and Germany. With Germany on the verge of a financial and economic crash which might engulf all Europe, European statesmen again turn to the United ith a plea for intervention and ance. An Assoclated Press dis- patch from London says that while no formal representations along this line have been made. the subject has been discussed and the *“hope expressed that the United States might be induced to !lend its support to the project.”” The dispatch adds that it is pointed out that “little can be done by the allies to restore Germany's shattered eco- romic structure without the assist- ance of the United States.” Americans are not convinced that the allies have made any sincere effort {to “restore Germany's shattered eco- nomic structure.” On the contrary, the bellef prevalls very widely that | they have done their utmost to shatter {it. Nor is this belief confined to Amer- lica. Sir George Paish, the eminent | British financler and economist, writ- ling in the Westminster Gazette, de- ;duros “‘that the entente allies, par- | ticularly France, deliberately chose a policy intended to prevent the re- covery of Giermany, and that the very ! success of their policy is proving their | undoing.” Now that they feel themselves sink- jing in the maelstrom of their own {creation they cry out to America and {beg that a golden life-line be thrown to them. It is not an appeal calculated to arouse any emotional response on this side of the Atlantic. The United States is now and always has been ready to lend assistance toward the re- covery of Europe, and the only reason {why it has not been forthcoming is because Europe has refused, or at least failed, to make possible that it could be lent effectively. But the ! United States has not intended, and does not intend now, that its own se- curity shall be put in jeopardy !through pouring its gold Into the seemingly bottomless pit that has been | dug in Europe. This talk of America’s {“duty” to Europe is not at all con- i vincing. It is conceived in America that the first duty of this country is to remain sound and sane, primarily for the sake of the American people and then for the sake of the rest of the world which is not involved in the European madness. Even more than during the perilous days of the war America today is the hope and the bulwark of civilization. If Europe is to go down in a wreck of its own creating, it is to the United States the world will have to look for stability and the essentials of restora- tion. Should the United States permit itself to be caught in the European wreck and its strength seriously im- | paired, then, indeed, would the plight | of the world be desperate. —_———— In comparing a party organization {to a glee club, President Harding { might have mentioned that the woman vote has introduced some fine soprano talent for harmonious effect and an occasional solo. —_————— Prohibition is a rule that, like most rules, has its troubles with a variety of exceptions. —_———— ‘The “foreigner” pays the tax when he motors in Maryland. —_————— Street Slaughter of Children. The driver of the truck that killed a child yesterday in a city street says that the little fellow ran in front of his machine so suddenly that it was impossible to stop in time. This may be true, and the driver may be entire- ly innocent of blame in this fatality. But the case serves nevertheless to point to the constant need of care on the part of the owners of trucks put sure greater regard for the safety rules. The chief danger in the streets of Washington today is from the larger motor vehicles of sthis type, {driven too rapidly and with little re- spect for the regulations. They often speed at rates fari in excess of the limit, and gain such momentum that they cannot be quickly halted when a dangerous condition arises. Their heavy structures are comparatively immune from injury in collision, and their drivers take chances that ere avoided by the drivers of lighter ma- chines. The peril of the children playing in the streets is constant throughout the day. It is impossible to keep the ‘youngsters out of the roadways, short of erecting fences along the curbs. Drivers must take this fact into ac- count, must reckon upon the possi- bility of a child darting out suddenly while at play, and so keep their ma- chines under such control that they may be halted in time. Even if this slows up the traffic, it is better thus than to kill the little folks. The young- sters play in the streets that are not badly congested, whero it is always possible for a driver to see them as he approaches. No child will deliberately run into danger. If the children are aware of the approach of a machine they will walt until it has passed. It|pj, into the hands of hired drivers to in- may be set down s a general rule that the child-killing machine, truck or car, has not given the victim suf- ficlent warning of its approach. This latest victim is the seventh child to be killed in Washington with- in less than six months, while six other children have been more or lei seriously hurt by motor vehicles. The toll is too heavy. —_——————— H Campaign Promises. As the campaign for control of the next Congress begins, one plece of ad- vice may appropriately be offered to both parties. Beware of making large promises, and particularly as respects appropriations. It is to be doubted if either party has ever found itself able to keep its campaign promises fully in the matter of supporting the government. The winner has usually achieved its vi tory partly on a charge of extrava- gance against the loser, and partly on a promise of economy it intrusted with power. . Then comes the awakening. The winner, intrusted with power, is obliged to make a thorough examina- tion of the needs of the government, and discovers that Uncle S8am keeps a big establishment, and that pride, as well as duty and real economy, coun- sels liberal provisions for its main- tenance. The figures now are large—so much larger than the pre-war figures they are staggering by comparison. But they must be met, and can be met without the people. ‘We can no more go back to pre-war figures than to pre-war conditions. Our relations to the world are in some particulars new. and impose obliga- tions we must recognize in our domes- tic arrangements. It would not be fair, therefore, to promise reductions that could not be made without im- pairing our prestige as a forward- looking nation aiming at world leader- ship in energy and productivity. Geography and the Presidency. In the speculation about the next democratic national ticket geography is playing the usual part. It is as- sumed that if the first place goes to the east the second will go to the if the first goes to the middle the second will go either to the east or to the west. A ticket well { balanced geographically is regarded as a sort of command. The politicians must heed it. In this particular both partics took | the same course in 1920. Each went lto the middle country for its presi- dential candidate, and each to the { cust for its vice presidential candidate. The west lost out at both conventions. The next republican ticket is not a {subject for conjecture. Everything points to the renomination by ac- clamation of Harding and Coolidge. Their nomination two years ago was a happy issue out of the republican embarrassment, and in office they have worked and are working well to- gether. So the middle country and the cast will again be well mated on the republican side. On the democratic side a large room and a tempting invitation for slate- making lure the quidnuncs. The de- feat of Cox and Roosevelt was 8o over- whelming, the talk of the same ticket for 1924 seems absard to many people. But not so the talk that the democrats should again draw upon the middle country and the east for their men. Shall the middle country or the east be accorded first place on the ticket? —_————— A man who can knock home runs as Babe Ruth does can always depend on a large backing of popular senti- ment in his more or less personal con troversies. —_—a—————— A conference at least conveys com- forting assurance to the public that the parties in disagreement are on speaking terms. —_————— Senatorial campaigns ought to make the county fair displays of oratory particularly interesting next fall.

The more than 400 members of the House who have gone back home for a six-weeks' sojourn wita the big idea, humorously oxpressed by John Allen, to “discuss with our constitu- ents the vital question as to whether or not we are to represent them in this House for another two years’ will go into practically every com- munity throughout this great country and will talk personally to many mil- lions of men and women during their campalgns. * K kX There {s their great opportunity for good or for evil—for good, if they pitch their campalgns on a high plane of devotion to the public wel- fare; of evil, If they have no higher ambitions or ideals than to get re- elected. This thought has been fm- pressed tpon them in an appeal put Into the hands of each and every member of the House by Representa- tive Lowrey of Missisaippi, who be- fore coming tc Congress was a col- lege president. This stresses the very scrious side {of the campaign business. A man who is capable of representing a dis- trict in Congress ought also to be capable of leading the thoughts and shaping the Ideals of hix constitu- ency. Representative Lowrey warned his colleagues against three pecu- liarly pernicious ways in which the ideals ‘of the citizens may be de- graded and their minds poisoned. First of these comes the corrupt use of money in campaigns, which has been especially emphasized during the present Congress. And it makes very ljttle Jiffarence at which end of a corrupt money transaction a man may be. Hs Is guilty whether he gives or receives. If a man of standing and leadership is at one end of the bargain he is particularly gullty, for he s in a position to understand what he is doing. He is not only taking advantage of a fellow-man and cor- rupting an individual voter, but he is undermining the very foundation of our government. * * ¥ % Second com the use of slander and vilification. which is generally worse than the use of money in cam- paigns. But little above the sin ot the man who wilfully tells what he knows to be untrue is the sin of the man who catches up scandal and re- peats it without waliting to know the evidence of its truth. Yet many per- |sons seem to think that they have a perfect right to assassinate the char- {acter of a man who Is in politics by ithe free circulation of any sort of although it be backed by Treaty No Magic Wand for Ob- taining Filipino Independence. The four-power naval treaty is not {a magic wand by which Filipinos can | obtain independence. This, in sub- { stance, was President Harding's re- ply to the Philippine mission, as it is also the attitude of those American papers which oppose the separation movement. Supporters of the Fili- pinos, however—and they seem to con- stitute a majority of the papers com- menting on the matter—contend that a discussion of the four-power treaty in relation to Philippine independence {s beside the point. that the issue is merely one of good faith and fulfilled promises. “It can be said, safely.” the Boston Post (independent democratic) thinks, “that independence for the Philip- pines is no longer a distinctly politi- cal issue in this country.” The New Haven Register (independent) recalls that “democrats from Bryan down have professed to differ violently from the republicans on the Philippine sue. But the recurring Filipino dele- gations to Washington have had noth- ing more from democratic Presidents than from republicans, unless it be In promises,” and the N York Call (so- cialistic) notes that President Hard- ing has given the latest mission the same reply that “Filipinos have re- celved from Roosevelt, Taft and Wil- son.” Nevertheless, editorlal opinion seems fairly divided on party lines most of the support of the inde- pendence movement coming from democratic paper: The Knoxville Journal and Tribune (republican) asserts, however, that if any partisan advantage attached to the matter “it would have rested in compliance with the request of the delegation from the Philippines,” and “‘denial of this request will no doubt be made much of by democratic spell binders between now and fall.” But the refusal was made, in the opinion of writers who approve it, because the situation ia in no way changed from that which has dictated the American position for a decade. “There is noth- ing in the four-power treat: th Grand Rapids: Press (independent) points out, “which says that the Phil- Ippines once removed from American control and made an independent na- tion would be included under its pro- visions.” Even if it contained such a provision, the Philadelphia Public Ledger (independent) adds. it could have no immediate application to the question, since ‘‘most of the partici- pating nations have not vet ratified the treaties agreed upon. . “The Philippines are American ter- ritory, and there is no good reason Why they should not yemain so,” as- serts the New York Tribune (repub- lican), which interprets the movement ‘largely the work of a small political class which as- pires to maks an experiment 'in na- tionalism, for which the people of the islands as a whole are not prepared.” Precisely because the United States has had enough experience with that kind of nationalist aspirations the Memphis Comi nercial-Appeal (demo- cratic) advocates caution in the mat- ter of turning the Philippines over to the Ive. ‘The example set by Cuba,” it thinks, “cannot be consid- ered any too promising, and no one can deny that the Cuban much better fitted for self-government when this country withdrew after the war with Spain than the Filipinos are today" TIn the opinion of the Lansing (Mich,) State Journal (independent) “countries under the control of a strong civilized power such as the United States are usually far happier and certainly safer than when they possess the so-called libert ince “the Filipinos now have a share in thelr own government’ and progressed and prospered,” the paper asks “what more can they possibly wish Im;u" ny G0 e to’i“: :he inescapable deduction from the continued sgitation. While the Thdianapolis Star (independent re- publican) is confident that “the Fili- pinos, as President Harding assured them, will not be kept under our fll{ nst their own desiresa” it stil feols that “we owe it to them not to oast them adrift until they are amply prepared for such action,"” and it con- tends that “we, not a few agitators in Manila, are to be judges on that point” There, however, many writers disagree, declaring that such & policy leaves ample room for “hypocrisy and humbug,” as one paper ngtnm b a perpetual postponement of the dis- ire more seems covery that the proper degree of “fit. | man *"has beon achieved.

Thoughtful men everywhere realize that this is task which chal- lenges our best strength. With the present advancement in means of de- struction—in the production of ex- plosives and polsonous gases—one shudders to think what another world war would mean. The world is made up of nations, nations are made up of communi- ties, and communities are made up of individuals. Some one has recently apoken of conditions in our country Whoever or whatover cxcites the passions of the people fans flame which may result in general conflagration. There is everywhere a spirit of disregard for law and fretting against authority—a kind of feeling that government 18 oppressive and is making itselt & curse rather than a blessing, and that those who are in a position of au- thority or leadership are corrupt and oppressive and are wilfully responsi- Ible for the ills that beset us. * ok ok ¥ The demagogues of each political party and of each section encourage this. It is to their selfish interest to have the people belleve that the men who are in responsible positions in the government are scoundrels and tyrants and are bound together in a heartless league to exploit and op- press the masses. History has yet to record where any man or group of men who rode into elective office on such a creed brought good and not evil. Representative Lowrey warns his colleagues that in golng out to talk to the people on public matters they |have this vear an unusually serious responsibility. They may ~cultivate the spirit of peace and good will, the spirit of faith, hope and charity, or they may add their little mite to bit- terness and antagonism between fac- tions, between sections, between po- litical parties, between races and be- EDITORIAL DIGEST tween classes.

C.) Btatc (democratic), and the time has come, the Chattanooga News (demooratic) contends, “to fix a defi- nite time for withdrawal of American control.” That time, asserts the Bay City (Mich.)
