Chairman Phipps of the joint com- mittee on District surplus announces that the new audit into the féderal- District accounts will begin with the 1st of July, 1911. This does not sig- nify that the terms of the provision in the appropriation act for an inquiry ‘will not be strictly followed. The law requires a surv of federal-District fiscal relations from July 1, 1874, with a view of determining what equities, if any, the District has in its unap- propriated surplus of tax revenues lying in the Treasury, amounting to approximately 100,000. But the Joint committee has ined that ® thorough research has already been made into the old credits and debits of the District, and that the District has been forced to pay large sums in lquidation of federal claims estab- lished. at least to the satisfaction of ‘ongress, by earlier audits. It is well known, and the joint committee now @ccepts the fact, that the earlier audits were made most thoroughly and dras- tically. The District had no repre- sentation in them. Against the justice of some of these collections protest has been entered. No offsetting Dis- 1rict equities were admitted. 1t is be- lieved. and the joint committee now assumes, that nothing was left un claimed and uncollected after these audits, followed by appropriations from District revenues. Therefore, the Joint committee now considers that it is unnecessary to go over again the ground so thoroughly covered by the earlier audits. In these circumstances there is good veason to expect that this present re- search into the District-federal fiscal relations can yield nothing but Dis trict equities. If that is the case, every dollar of Di: ct tax money now lying unappropriated in the Treasury will be a District asset. to be applied to the cush-basis surplus that is to be accumulated by the 1st of July, 1927. Aecording to the Commi: " pres- ent estimates, the money now lying in the Treasury, which has already beerr acknowledged to be a tangiple, arplus and not a “bookkeep- will constitute more than ts. veritable ing myth, the requisite fund for cash payms It will be necessary for practi rurposes to ave in hand on the 1st of July, 1 mly enough District money 10 meet 60 per cent of the appropria- tions expended from July 1 to Decem- | ber 1, by which latter date half of the District taxes wiil annually have been pald. The Commissioners estimate | this amount at $3.000.000. The sur- plus is between $4,500,000 and $5,- 000,000. They plan to raise during the current fiscal year $600,000 more than appropriations by applying a rate of §1.10 to a hundred per cent valua- tlon. Making allowances for possible shrinkages and tax payment failures it Is evident that if the joint commit- tee reports that the District has a 100 per cent equity In its accumulation of tax money now in the Treasury it will be unnecessary, after the present fis- cal year, to raise moére by taxation than the appropriation in order to put the District on w cash basis July 1, 1927, with an abundant margin. ——— Senator Reed is evidently ™ deter- mined that if there cannot be demo- cratic harmony there shall be the liveliest kind of campaign jazz. The senatorial campalgn in Missougi has its elements of reminiscence as well as of future purpose. Seniority. Tlustrating the difficulties which bhave beset President Harding in his efforts to bring about adjustment of industrial disputes is the fact that the one issue which stands in the way of apeedy ending of the rallroad shop- men’s strike was not an issue at all ‘when the strike was called. The ques- tion of the seniority rating of the men who went on strike and pow would return to work is an exceptionally vexatious problem, because principles are involved about which opinions dif- fer widely. To the uninterested and uninformed public it may seem that this question is a trivial one to stand in the way of A settlement, but that seniority in railway employment is a thing of very conslderable value is evidenced by the insistence of the strikers that if they return to work it must be with ratings unimpaired. Seniority carries with it certain privileges and advantages which are the natural and just re- #ards of continuous service. When an Individual leaves his employment he expects to sacrifice these advan- tages, and if he returns he goes, as a matter of course, to the bottom of the rating. Nothing else is claimed or expected. The shopmen as a mass are not willing to abide by the conse- quences which they would expect to endure if they had left their employ- ment as individuals. o | ‘The position of the railroads in op- posing this demand of the shopmen is clearly explained in an official state- ment issued by the New York Cen- tral. The statement says: All employes on railroads are cordeds seniority of service if othe: ‘wise competent. This means that the menfor employes are entitled to choice of work, and when it les neces- sary temporarily to reduce forces that the junior men are released and the senior employes retained. A strike was ordered by ho have no union offi- 0 n {Never has there been more. and left the rallroad service, and many @id not leave, but remained loyally at work, _accepting the government Labor Board's decision. ere who mu ity, be protected and supporte o desert thess men would be ingratt- t sort. In addition to. these thousands who remained in service, other thousand: who wanted to work have been em. ployed in good faith. The new em- ployes in a great many cases left other employment with the under- (standing that if competent they would e retained in their present positions. These men—those who remained and those who enlisted—have kept the trains in operation and the needs and comfort of the people supplied. It is submitted that to now ask the railroads to set these loyal men aside and replace them with the men who left is to ask the railroads as well as the government, which s con- cerned through the action of the United States Labor Board, to be dis- loyal to these thousands of loyal men. The shopmen, on their side, insist that the past furnishes abundant precedents for the settlement of strikes without loss to the returning strikers of seniority and other employment rights, such as pensions and retire- ment, and their position is a tacit ad- mission—though they do not formu* late it into words—that if strikers now are to involve loss of these rights strikes will be so heavily penalized as to become almost impossible and labor will be deprived of what it regards as its one effective weapon of last resort. It is this issue, thus drawn, which the President is called upon to meet and solve, for, however vital to the railroads and their striking employes may be the principles involved, it is much more vital to the public that there shall be an end to the strike and uninterrupted transportation. Now that the question has been brought so prominently to the front and made a major question of indus- trial relationships, the manner of its settlement will establish & precedent for the future, and it is essential, therefore, that it shall be settled with all possible fairness to all parties con- cerned. That is the only object at which the President has aimed, and i¢ it will be approached by the rail- way managements and the striking shopmen in the spirit he has shown such a settlement will be accom- plished. Mr. Marshall Back. Former Vice President Marshall has returned from Europe, and is in his usual jovial mood. He is out of pol- itics, he announces. He cannot longer afferd the game. Age is coming on, and he must prepare for it. All very well, but conditions do not favor the keeping of the resolution. The country was never fuller of pol- itics than now. Tt beckons from every quarter. It is insistent from Indiana, where a thumping campaign is open- ing. There was a hope at one time that Mr. Marshall would be his party’'s nominee for senator. His experience as the presiding officer of the Senate, his personal popularity at home, and his acknowledged ability as man and politician picked him out as the right man for the race. But he demurred, and the nomination was bestowed upon another. The nominee, however, is Mr. Mar- shall’s friend, and has a claim upon more than his sympathy. He is pitted against former Senator Beveridge, an exceptionally strong campaigner, and so will need all the assistance avail- able. Will Mr. Marshall be available? What more likely? What more likely than that it will be requested and granted, and that Mr. Marshall will find himself in the whirl, playing a star part on the stump and enjoying himself as of yore? Mr. Marshall out of politica? with the notion! Out A Sign of Health. The number of candidates for office —and candidates ere plentiful in all the states this year—is a sign of health. Ambitious men—men who keep an eye on public conditions and study public questions—see something worth contesting for, and so are put- ting out their heads. They are right. There is something —a good deal—worth’ contesting for. A new era is opening. New opportunities for public service are alluring. The man with a taste and a talent for public affairs finds it difficult to resist the appeal. It is one of-our boasts, well sup- ported by the record, that our institu- tions produce many competent men. They encourage inferest in govern- ment. Feeling himself a part, an agency, of government, every worthy man reasons that, according to his station,” he should contribute of his best to the proper conduct of the gov- ernment. And so he should. Either in office, or as a supporter of those called to office, he should discharge his full duty as a citizen—should strain in every way to promote the public wel- fare, and assist in pushing the country along the pathway of true progress. ‘With an abundance of candidates to choose from, and means of escertain- ing their merits, the voters will be without excuse if the November re- sult should prove disappointing, and something substantial is not achieved toward a return to normalcy. B — Many strikers naturally resent the idea of adding the sacrifice of senior- ity benefits to the losses they have al- ready suffered. Apportionment of money to the ‘wage-earners is another of those prob- lems of distribution. The Florida Republicans. ‘Thig is from Orlando: The newly organized frdependent republican party in Florida, formed for the avowed purpose of eliminat- ing the negro from republican pol- itics in the south, announced today that, in order to test the strength of its principles in the election next No- vember, W. G, Lawson of this city would be its candidate for the United States Senate agalinsi e regular re- publican candidate, should one be nominated. The republicans ought_to make a nomination, if for no other purpose than to give these so-called independ- gnts an opportunity to be counted. ‘They are probably not numerous, Cer- tainly the republicans of the state are not. > < them at the polls. In opposition to the white republican ticket, he put up & black republican ticket, with- the result tbat the democrats threw a record vote on election day. They ‘would have won in any circumstances, but in the circumstances thus created by 'their opponents they had & walk-| away. The democrats of the south will never be overthrown by such tactics. In the matter of eliminating the negro from politics, they beat the republicans to it. They eliminated him from their councils years ago, and have kept him eliminated. 3 This new party is misnamed. It should call itself the independent dem- ocratic party. No party calling itself republican should undertake to draw the color line in politics. The repub- lican party enfranchised the negro, and, while it has failed to support him in the exercise of his voting privi- lege, it cannot afford to antagonize him—to appeal for power by turning its back on him. . King George’s Hat. A short time ago photographs from England showed that the “white top- per” had'come back into vogue. King George and other notables were de- picted wearing these queer pipelike “tiles” at the races and other places of social assemblage, and the hat- makers rejoiced greatly, for there was a chance that this extraordinary bit of headgear, for which any fancy price may be charged, might be adopt- ed as the proper wear in this coun- try. But the menaced invasion of the “white topper” has probably been stopped. The King of England has abandoned that grotesque article, ap- pearing at the Goodwood races in a “bowler.” For the benefit of those not already versed in British nomen- clature it should be said that a bowler is what we call in this country a derby. In England the king sets the styles. It he wears a topper, then top- pers are the vogue. If he puts on what before the war was called a “Hom- burg,” the same kind of a hat that in this country we call a “Fedora,” then most of England turns to the soft hat. If his toppiece is of velour, then the fuzzy hat is seen everywhere. Now that he has appeared at the races in a bowler probably most of England will turn out round-headed. Over here the derby hat has almost passed from use, whereas a few years ago it was the wear of four-fifths of the men. Per- haps by repercussion from England the bowler will be restored to its old popularity here in the autumn when the season calls for the discarding of the straws. f Texas is the scene of an interesting experiment In the establishment of a secret society as a powerful factor in politics; an experiment for which his- tory does not indicate much encour- agement. i His own patience in listening to ad- vice warrents President Harding in calling attention to the fact that there are times when it Is absolutely neces- sary for others to do the same thing. i England wants Germany in the league of nations. The desire implies a gratifying confidence in Germany's ability to function as an orderly mem- ber of a peace-promoting organization. Summer is known as the silly sea- son, but there are times whea follles must be taken serlously es the basis of tragedies. The value of liberty bonds leaves it @ matter of wonderment that it should ever have been necessary to coax peo- ple to buy them. { The tariff on wool may bring the sheep into evidence as a political emblem, along with the donkey and the elephant. i There is so much to interest the! public in matters of controversy that an occasional warm wave is scarcely noticed. Studies of the polar caps on Mars are at least more comfortable than arctic and antarctic explorations on earth. * Congress 1s expected for the moment to concentrate on railroads, instead of ship subsidies. —————————— SHOOTING STARS.

There are Army officers who are keenly desirous of adding to thelr stock of knowledge of things pertaining to their dally duties as directors of some par- ticular branch of Army work. s A striking example of the progressive #pirit of these men is shown in the case of Col. Furlow, who for many weeks past, has been learning all there is to learn, and that means a lot, about automobiles and motors at Camp Holabird, Md. The other day I chanced to visit this school of in- struction and found the diminutive colonel attired in overalls working side by side with a buck private on the interior mechanism of an Army truck. His appearance would hardly have passed muster at a regimental review, but it would have brought joy and delight to the heart of a general who knew that a capable man would some day be available to take charge of the motorization of the Army's rolling stock. When the next war comes, and there may be one, the general stafft will know where to find at least one man who is thoroughly familiar with all phases of automobile work. * ok ok ok OW' and then on the specdway you can hear the clump, clump of horses’ boofs.

As both of them are past masters in the art of EDITORIAL DIGEST ; Muscle Shoals Plant Should Be Operated. The attack by the Senate committee on the offer made by Henry Ford for the purchase of the Muscle Shoals ni- trogen and power plant has revived in- terest in that great project. It seems to be the general opinion of the edi- torial writers of the country that In the light of the present condition of the national treasury it would be unwise to attempt any government operation. Many of the papers hold that, even con- ceding Ford would be getting a bar- gain, the offer made by him should be accepted to insure operation of & proj- ect now decaying because of lack of operation. In case of war the plant will be needed, editors argue, and this being the case it should be operated and kept up to date and, as the gov- ernment now is not able to do this, pri- vate interests should be given their chance. The proposal for government opera-: tion is the least attractive of any sug- gested, the wark News believes, be- canse “it is not to be expected that #uch a proposal will find much grace in an administration committed to the principle of less government in bu: nes: It would be foredoomed to f: through the injection of politics into such big business and the trail of fa- voritism that would mark its admin- istration. The government would be setting a rare example as a competi- tor for business against private enter- prise subject to federal taxation: It &hould be possible to dismiss this sug- gestion as chimerical. Certalnly it is contrary to the American genius and tradition.” ~ There is a lack of plain language n the Senate committee report, the Milwaukee Sentinel holds, which is regrottable, the “report being adorned with rhetorical flowers of the kind that usually grow only in the hot- | house atmosphere of political cam- paign speeches. What is there about Henry Ford that people go delirious, for or against him, soon as his name {s injected into” any contro- versy? Ford's Muscle Shoals plan may or may not be as bad as.is painted, but why throw doubt on the findings by dressing them in unmeasured language, Mr. Ford may feel that his opponents have done him a real service by weakening their case by hysterical rhetoric” ~With millions tied up in the work, and no benefits resulting, the Ithaca Journal-News suggests that “either Muscle Shoals should be leased to some one of the several proponents or the government should 'develop the plant for the purpose of leasing power or the work should be abandoned and scrapped. Why positive actiop should be delayed month after month at a cost of millions to the country is one of the unexplained curiosities of government. Despite the Senate report the Port Huron Times-Herald thinks the pub- lic shoull be given all of the facts because, ‘“even liberally discounting the scathing report of the Senate committee, and giving to Mr. Ford's supporters the benefit of every doubt, there is too much involved to per- mit of haste in reaching a decision. Muscle Shoals is still a blg question mark in the minds of the American people.” ~Suggesting that Senator Norris “rather overworks the ad- ective. wonderful” the Birmingham the report professes propaganda and Henry Ford is pictured as the most colossal pirate that ever lived. Mr. Ford's answer is that he stands pat. The issue will have to be fought out in Congress. Both sides to the dontroversy may well be suspected of e: eration. A suggestion that the Gorgas plant be sold to the Ala- bama Power Company is practically enough since it is_not necessary to the development of Muscle Shoals, but in most other respects Senator Norri# plan looks likeé an iridescent dream that will never be realized.” The report must be widely 3 the Birmingham News insists, “be- cause it is the first time the oppo- Here and There in Washington BY “THE MAJOR.” X © lapparently entered into 1{in all sincerity that it political strategy, the conference was of greater political import than would have been a conversation between two ordinary mortals. * %k % % OE MURPHY, assistant chief of the United States secret service, has one great hobby, outside of his work, and that is playing golf.

Already the “spoken newspaper” of the French super-inteilectuals has proved a failure. It was their idea o have a group of people gather in a meeting place each week and there and then various of their number would deliver news stories and inter- pretations of them, dramatic, art or | book criticisms and editorfals. They | he project as a prac- tical move. They claimed that the trouble with the newspapers was that the material in them lost its flavor through being read and not heard. Any practical newspaperman could have told the Paris savants that the | plan would fail, just as the radio must fall as a substitute for, but not as an auxiliary to, the newspaper. The average daily newspaper con- tains as much printed material as! a full-length Dickens novel—and Dickens was the champion long-dis- tance novel writer of his age. Natural- ly no person can read all of this | material every day. The reader selects [that which most interests him. Prob- ably no two persons choose exactly the same combination, and the at- tempt to render a newspaper aloud | by radio or by direct reading means that the “subscriber” must perforce | listen to lots that bores him.
