A NEW PRINTING oFFIcE-PERHAPs.

The site for the new Government Printing
Office Is still in the air. The House yesterday
rejected the recommendations of the Commit
tes on Public Buildings and Grounds, and
recommitted the bill, with instructions TO the
committee to select location for the much
talked-of building for the public printing
from some unoccupied ground belonging to
the government.
Even had the House agreed to the site Sc
lected by the committee, the question would
have been a long way from settlement, for the
Senate had already passed in favor Of another
location. The matter would have to go to
conference, and the chances are more than
equal for another disagreement. Therefore
the new building, the necessity for which is
admitted by all, would have received another
vigorous shove TO the rear.
To listen to or read the speeches Of Sem
ators and members since the subject of new
printing office was first mooted one is i'm
pressed with the earnest solicitude Of our law
makers for the health, life, and limb Of the
employees OF that most useful branch of the
public service. The urgent necessity being
conceded by all, the total insufficiency Of the
present building for the proper performance
Of the constantly increasing volume OF work.
and the ever present menace to human life by
reason Of the possibility OF collapse at almost
any moment, the long delay In reaching an
agreement between the two houses Of Con-
gress seems utterly ine1cusable from what
ever point the subject may be viewed.
Where shall the blame be laid? Congress
has much to answer for, but should not be
held entirely responsible. We're it not for the
numerous rings Of real estate cormorants, all
Of whom want to unload their holdings on
the government at two or three times their
real value, Congress would unquestionably
have agreed upon a site long ago, and the
new building would have been an assured
fact. For some unaccountable reason these
gentry have so far been able to prevent uni
formity Of action, and the chances are that
they have killed the goose that laid the golden
eggs.
The TINES would much rather not see the
original plan of our beautiful city marred by
the erection of buildings on reservations get
apart for public parks. But it would be far
better that every foot of the mali should be
covered with the structures needed for the
uses OF the government than that Congress
should yield compliance to the inordinate
greed of real estate spectators.

p1sGRAcEFUL LoBBY1Na.

During the consideration In the House yes
terday and the day before of the bill reported
from the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. recommending site for new print
ing office, the corridors Of the south end Of
the Capitol were filed with persons interested
in the various locations which had been under
consideration by the committees of both Sem
ate and House.
There were enough real estate owners,
agents, and operators present to hold a con-
vention. The professional lobbyist also IVES
on hand in full force, and it was openly
charged on the floor Of the House that ex-
members Of Congress were actively at work
among the members in favor of one or more
of the contending sites. Gen. Malone, whose
ground had been selected by the Senate, for a
considerable portion of both days was within
hailing distance, and it was intimated that
one or more of his representatives were in
the chamber itself. fitting about from MEM
ber to member, urging the purchase OF their
employers property.
The House has instructed its committee to
select q site from some suitable unoccupied
public ground. Should the Senste reconsider
its action in favor of the Malone lot and
agree to the establishment of the proposed
new building on government land, the real
estate men will have themselves principallyto
blame. The general public will have no tears
to shed over their discontinue.

THE AssFssMENT Bull.

THE House District Committee will this
morning consider what is known as the board
OF trade assessment bill.
This would be an excellent bill to kill.
Why?
Because its enactment would perpetuate
the unequal assessment of real estate that has
given rise to SO much complaint.
That bill simply re-enacts the laws under
which the existing unequal assessment was
perpetrated, which favors the land speculator
and the owner of valuable business property
at the expense of the small-home owner and
the tenant.
That bill is drawn with view to Sc
curing to wealthy property owners compara-
tive exemption from payment OF taxes,
and the men who drew it up and who
have pushed it so far have no desire to
secure an equal assessment That is the very
thing they don't want. Why should they
want it? They are the benehciaries Of the
existing inequality, and they know that II a
law can be passed under which it will be i'm
possible to punish favoritism in assessments
they will continue to be such benelciaries.
They will name the assessors, and they will
take care to see that none but subservient
tools are appointed.
THE TIMES appeals to the gentlemen COM
posing the District Committee to carefully
scrutinize that bill, and to observe that there
has been an endeavor to eliminate from it all
the features that stood as barriers against
an unequal assessment. Under it the specific
value to be assessed is made less definite,
instead Of more; and the so-called board OF
equalization now can exercise their "judg
ment' rampant, regardless OF facts. The
penalty clause cannot be construed to pro-
vide punishment for any case Of under
assessment, no matter how fragrant.
We predict that II said bill becomes law
much property will be assessed at only to
per cent. of its market value, and yet 1t will
be impossible to even get a warrant against
the assessors. to say nothing about securing
a conviction.
THE TINES commends TO the consideration
of the committee the bill II. r. 1926. (which was
prepared by gentleman who has given the
question many years study, and who has
found the real reasons for unequal assess
ments and the real defects of existing law,
and has provided q real remedy. Pass that
bill, with such amendments as may be neces-
sary and germane, and there will be no COM
plant Of unequal assessments.

CHINESE TREATY GOES OVER.
Tariff Thinkers Refuse TO Divert ANY Time
from Their Pet Idea.

Tariff Tinkers Refuse 10 Divert ANY Time
from Their Pet Idea.
The failure of the Senate to take up the
Chinese treaty in executive session yesterday
was due to the fact that the tariff managers
declined to yield more time for the discussion
of this subject.
1T is, of course. desirable Senator Harris
said, THAT the treaty should be disposed of,
but the tariff question is of paramount con-
sequence, and do not feel disposed to grant
more time to the treaty until We get further
along with the tariff. l have told Senator
Morgan that if we make satisfactory progress
with the tariff by Saturday l may recommend
that the treaty be taken up. but at present
do not feel that we should be justified in
switching of.
The opponents of the treaty say they see in
the postponement of further consideration
evidence of weakness on the part of the
treaty, and some Of them advanced the theory
that the postponement had been taken for the
purpose of rallyiDg its friends and doing mis-
sionary work among those who are supposed
to be inclined TO backslide.
When the Senate adjourned Yesterday Sem
ator Perkins was in the midst OF his speech in
opposition to the treaty. He objected to
much of the phraseology of the treaty, and
contended that if it was to be ratified at ALL
as he did not think it should be. it should be
very carefully amended in many particulars.
Senators Morgan and Sherman urged that the
treaty was a favorable one to the United
States; declared that it accepted and con-
flrmed all our anti-Chinese legislation. and
said that it opened the way for the amieable
extension of our trade with China and the
improvement of our relations with that coun-
try. The only vote taken during the execu-
tive session was on Senator Mitchelfs motion
to consider it in open session, which was lost

PROHIBITION BY ACCIDENT.

Peculiar Luck Of the Anti.salOOnists in
South Carolina.
zCoLUMBIA, S. c., May 8.-South Carolina Is
under prohibition. The supreme court to-
day decided the Florence, s. c., cases, and
thereby settles the question that has been vex-
ing the state.
An injunction was asked to restrain the city
council OF Florence from granting licenses
for selling liquor on the ground that there is
no law authorizing the grant thereof. In its
decision the court says that under the law as
It stands there is no authority in the state in
vested with the power to grant licenses for
the sale OF liquor In South Carolina, and that
hence the act OF the city council in granting
such licenses is void. The court therefore
granted the injunction asked. The court
likewise refused a motion for the discharge
on writ Of habeas corpus Of J. E. Brunson.
who was arrested for selling liquor without
O license.
The court orders that Brunson be proceeded
against for violation of the law. The saloons
have not yet closed here, and it is not known
what course they will adopt. One OF the
leaders Of the Tillman administration says
that prosecutions will be entered against all
sellers Of liquor. Governor Tillman would
not talk about the opinion Of the court and
has not said as vet what the course Of the
state will be. To-day's decisions were ren-
dered in test cases brought to determine what
legal status the liquor traffic had in the state.
Section 1884 of the general statutes imposes
a fine of not less than 5000 or sentence of
not less than six months in the penitentiary
on all persons who sell whisky without Ii
cense. SO far as known, however, there is no
punishment for the shipment Of whisky into
the state.
Governor Tillman was asked to-day what
he intended to do about trying to enforce the
prohibition law. He said he would lend his
moral support to it and do all he could TO en-
force it, but he did not have any machinery
to enforce it. He also SAID that he was glad
the uncertainty about affairs had been set
tied. The prohibitionists say that they will
prosecute violators of the law. and it is sup
posed that the city and county authorities
will do likewise.

WHAT THE TIMES" FAvoRs.

A correspondent asks what particular re-
forms THE TIMES favors for the present. THE
TIMES favors the following reforms in District
affairs:
The repeal Of the laws taxing improvements
to land and personal property and those re-
quiring the payment OF license fees and water
rents, and fees for services performed by pub
lie officials.
The lcvying of a tax equal to 50 per cent. Of
the rental value OF land, exclusive of any
value due to Improvements thereon.
The repeal Of the law requiring the general
government to pay half of the expenses Of the
local government.
The laying off and improvement of the pub
lie highways Of the District and the expendi-
ture of about ten million dollars a year
thereon.
That the Commissioners be required to en-
ploy all capable persons who apply for such
employment on said improvements, and that
common labor thereon be paid % for each
days work OF eight hours.
That in anticipation of the tax proposed the
Commissioners be required to issue such notes
as may be necessary in payment for wages
and materials in making said Improvements,
said notes to be payable in one year, without
interest, and to be receivable in payment OF
taxes.
THE TIMES anticipates that as results of
such reforms our city would double its popu-
lation and become the most beautiful city in
the world In few years;
That to accomplish such Improvements
would require 10000 additional men:
That the presence of these men and their
families (1O0, 900 people, would give employ
ment to another q, 900 men (100, 900 people,
in providing for their maintenance;
That wages in the District would practi-
cally double;
That peace, prosperity and plenty would
follow, and the working classes" would be
elevated and crime would diminish;
That the way would be pointed out to Sc
cure perfect national economic system;
That the way world be pointed out to &C.
cure perfect national financial system;
That there would no longer be any danger
impending through the presence in our
midst Of large numbers of unemployed;
That the only Sufferers through these re-
forms would be the ''poor" land speculator
and the poor rich man:
That the condition thus established would
do much to allay the general discomfort and
unrest that is Increasingly threatening, and
