SURPLUS AND DEFIo{t
THE DISTRICT UsUALLY&AIsEs
MORE THAN 1T SPENDS.
Only When Organic Act is Violated
Have the Revenues Been
Inadequate.

The amendment proposed by Senator Nc
MILAN to the District appropriation bin pro-
viding for a federal advance to the District
to meet the local revenue deficit is based
apparently upon the assumption that the
District is in the habit of being deficient in
it's revenues. 1t provides for payments out
of the federal treasury to the Districts
funds sufficient to cover the annual deficit.
such as 1t may be. In point of fact, there
is no such record in the recent financial
history of the District to warrant this as
sumption, however strongly the present bal
arce sheet may point to deficit during the
next fiscal year in the absence Of some
extraordinary means of raising revenue.
A statement prepared by the Commits
sioners early in the session for the infor-
nation of the committees of Congress
throws light upon this question. 1t shows
that during the past thirteen years the Dis
trict has produced a surplus in eleven years
and a deficit only in two. The table COM
prised In that statement showing the an
nGal surpluses and deficits, together with
the extraordinary expenses to which the
District was subject during the same pc
riod, is herewith reproduced a clear eX-
position of the fact that the District reve-
nues would in the past have been sufficient
to meet it's needs if only they were ex-
pended according to the organic act, with
the government matching each local dollar
with federal dollar:

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Last of Series Catholic University
Public Lecture Course.

The last in the course of public lectures
at the Catholic University. for the present
scholastic year was given last evening by
Rev. DR.. Pace. the subject being 1.-The Edu-
cation of Women in Greece and Rome"
The large assembly room of the university
was filled with very appreciative audience
when the lecturer. accompanied by Right
Rev. DIR. Garrigan, entered the hall. Dr.
Garrigan, in introducing the lecturer.
thanked the audience for their presence
and said that the attendance was worthy
of the subject and the lecturer.
DIR. Pace outlined the views which were
held by prominent thinkers and writer's in
the classic age, regarding womens position
in society. and more especially her prepa-
ration for social life. Generally speaking
the education of women was inferior to
that which men received. 1t is true that
among the Spartans both sexes were sub
jected to the same training. In Athens on
the contrary, the home was considered the
proper sphere for women. and. though phil
losophers like Plato, protested-openly that
as men, yet these theories had no decisive
effect upon the practical administration of
the schools.
The women of Rome were somewhat more
fortunate. for, though education was main
ly the work of the parent, still there are
evidences to show that women had access
to the schools established for men. The
social position of women in Rome was su-
perior to that of her sisters in Sparta and
Athens. In Rome, likewise, 1t was the
philosophers who supported the claims of
the women for better educational advan-
tages Their influence. however, was not
sufficient to secure women a share in what
might be called the higher education more
especially. after the introduction of Hell
ienc methods and views.

Note lit is apparent from the forego-
ing statement that during the period COW
cred thereby the revenues of the District
were more than sufficient for ordinary de-
mands, and that the present shortage is
due to summary drafts for expenditures

The sum of $1.426, TIP, for street ex-
tensions. was paid wholly from District
revenues, and the further sum of $1.SS1,-
1G054, for increasing the water supply, was
paid out of the general fund instead of be-
ing charged against the revenues of the
water department. Leaving out of the ac-
count, however, the amount thus paid for
street extensions, and the equitable liabil-
ity of the government for one-half thereof
if the sums making the aggregate of 81

supply, had been advanced by the treasury
and reimbursed from the water fund in
twenty-five annual II tallments, as pro-
vided in the act of July ), 1884 with inter
est at per cent per annum upon the de-
ferred payments, the arrangements would
have been fair to the United States and
the District would show large surplus
instead of deficit in it's revenues.

Regulated by the Members.

The totalizer is nothing more than very
large fare register except that the fig
ures are thrown on a screen like a magic
lantern. so as to be large enough to be seen
from all points in the House and at the
same time enable the number discs to be
made small enough to turn at high sped.
After the totalizers have operated to give
the total votes cast they can be restored to
zero from the desk of the operator. 1t will
be possible to have also a small totalizer no
larger than bicycle cyclometer on the
Speakers desk.
The way the vote in the House would
be taken by the use of one of these me-
chanisms would be the announcement by
the Speaker of the question to be voted on
after which minute would be allowed to
elapse to give the members an opportunity
to open their voting boxes and press the
desired button. At the end of the minute
the printing receiver would be started. which
would print an alphabetical list of all the
members present, at the same time giving
the total number in figures. So to
those voting aye" and those voting no"
The recording of the vote would perhaps
take five minutes.

Some of the Advantages.

The report states that the advantages of
the apparatus are self-evident. 1t would
enable members to vote and Immediately
leave their desks without waiting for the
result to be announced. In this way the
members of the committee. which might be
in session. could leave their committee
room when summoned for roll call, reach
their desks, vote and get back to their
committee rooms within two three min
utes. whereas at the present time from half
to three-quarters of an hour is lost for the
purpose. The report states that if it was
desirable transmitters could also be located
in the committee rooms, that members
could even vote without going into the hall
of the House.
There is no new principle involved in the
mechanism of the voting machine. There
is nothing performed by it that does not
find an analysis in the arts of fire alarm
telegraphy. printing telegraphy and kineto-
scopic apparatus The report does not state
what the cost of installing the new system
would be. The device described is under
stood to be controlled by Dyer. Edmonds

The Adder. the little diving boat of the

A VOTING DEVICE
Method of Recording House
Action by Electricity.
REPORT TO THESPEAKER
TRANsMITTER ON DESK OF EACH
MEMBER.
Detailed Description Which It is Pro-
posed to Have Installed at
the Capitol.
REPORT TO THESPEAKE

a report on an electric voting device for
the use of the House of Representatives
was transmitted to Speaker Henderson to-
day by Elliott Woods, superintendent of
the Capitol.
An electric voting device was one of. the
hobbies of the late Representative Otey of
Virginia, who had introduced a resolution
at the beginning of the present session of
Congress on this subject.
The device which Mr.. Woods explains in
the report made today consists of trans
mitter on each members desk, which is
connected electrically with a single print
ing receiver for printing in three columns
alphabetical lists of names of members
voting aye" no and present and
three totalizers, arranged so as to be read
lily observed by the members, for giving
the totals of the three classes of votes.
How a Vote is Recorded.
Each transmitter comprises a small. or
namental casing about four inches square,
with Yale lock in it's front face; also two
push buttons, one marked present and
the other marked "mstake;'' and also an
opening above the lock disclosing the let
tiers 20. k
When a member wishes to vote he intro
duces the key into the lock and turns it
to the right if he wishes to vote AYE" or
to the left if he wishes to vote no" This
movement draws the letter 80. k from
the opening above the lock and brings to
view the word aye or no." as the case
may be- The key is then withdrawn and
the vote is ready to be counted If at any
time before the vote is counted and
printed the member wishes to change his
vote. he merely presses the mistake but
ton and the machine returns to it's normal
position. after which the correct vote can
be registered. In order to vote present
the key is inserted in the lock and turned
to the right or left and the present but
ton pressed A correction in this vote can
also be made by pressing the mistake"
button"
Simple Construction.
The transmitter is of the simplest posi-
bic construction, the internal mechanism
involving only an ordinary Yale lock with a
circuit-breaking disc carried by its barrel
and a release magnet for permitting the
parts to return to their normal position
when the vote is received.
The transmitter can - placed either on
top of a members desk or let into the sides
or front thereof.
The printing receiver, which IS the ap-
paratus for collecting the votes registered
at the members desk and for printing
them in three alphabetical lists ready for
the Congressional Record comprises a stem
cil-carrying triplicate alphabetical list of
all the names of the members. If a member
votes aye his name is printed from the
first list; if no from the second list, and
if present" from the third list In this
way the result of the vote will consist of
three alphabetical lists in the exact form in
which the vote is now printed in the Rec
