MR., TO ELER ADVOCATES
WASHINGTON BEAUTIFUL
Favors Improvement of the
National Capital.
Says All Congressmen Are Anxious to
See City Made More Attractive.
Glad to Assist.

REPRESENTATIVE Charles y. Fowler of
New Jersey. one of the most efficient
and hard-working members OF Con-
gress. expressed himself yesterday most
enthusiastically regarding the Nations
Capital:
Il am glad to see that you are just
getting ready to do business" said Mr..
Fowler, and that provision is made for
the municipal building II has been
really difficult for public men. as we'll as
visitors to the Nations Capital, to find
the executive offices for man. years
past. IS they have been so frequently
moved and have occupied such obscure
positions.
II believe in making public buildings
models of permanence and beauty.
have no doubt the greatest attention will
be paid to perfecting plans so that the
new City Hall will be one Of the inest
in the country. My constituents are
particularly proud of Washington. In
fact SO many of them are coming here
that they make great inroads upon my
time.
This is the most beautiful city in- the
world. Where can such trees be found
or such streets. | am glad to have had
some little part in helping TO develop
modern Washington.
Il am in favor of having the citizen
pay fair amount of taxes. but | am
also anxious to see the Government ex-
ercise a fostering care over Its Capt.
tai. so free from commercial and in
dustrial interests. Men wari TO feel
when they come here that they will be
absolutely free from the hum and din
OF business or any of its attendant ex-
elements.
You can put me down as being in
favor OF good. pure water at the carli-
est possible moment; fine drives in and
around the city, without number; the
OF the great National and
Potomac parks: the construction OF a
bridge. in such a style as will
make il the admiration of the whole ma
tion.
While a good many members of
Congress express themselves ,ss being
opposed TO certain measures connected
with the growth OF Washington. | think
you may put II down as true" that in
their hearts every man is anxious to see
made more attractive in
every way.

NO BILLION DOLLAR
SESSION This TIME
Appropriations Will Exceed
S775,O0O,0OO.
Officials of Treasury Department Do
Not Fear the Increase Over
Last Year.

1t Is estimated that at the outset the
appropriations for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1903, made by the present
Congress will not exceed s775. 200 goo.
The total appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year made by The last Con
gress are $3.50, s3s. SO. This would mean
an increase by this Congress at this
session Of less than si5. .CO0OoO.
Officials of the Treasury Department
do not fear the effect OF these increased
appropriations The Treasury has today
about sI24.oO0. 600 on deposit in national
banks. and has on hand in cash SlG3.-
000.oO0 or s13. 200 900 in excess of the
theoretical working balance of $50. .O0O.- .
600. That means that over and above
that working balance there is on hand a
surplus OF $137. 600 900.
If the reduction of revenue viii
amount 10 so much as to bring the Gov
trnment out with an even balance sheet
at the end OF this fiscal year there
would be left Sl37. .ogO. Oo0 10 meet the In
creased expenditures OF about si5. .o40 900
leaving an cxceas margin Of Sg2 600 600.
The estimated surplus for June 30.
1902, is 100000. The estimated reduc-
lion Of revenue because of the abolition
Of the war taxes is s72 10000 So that
the reduction will nearly. but not en-
fircly, Offset the surplus.

The Little Ballot.

The unqualified Endorsement by
the people Of the initiative and
referendum and of municIpal own
ershp carries still further the
work that began last Spring with
the Americans little ballot.
We know now how the people
stand on these questions They
want the reforms; in the plainest
possible terms they demand them.
The issue Is, therefore, put
plainly before the lie :islators.
Will You, TO serve the corporations,
try to thwart the peoples will or
follow it?
We were often aud confidently
assured when we began to agitae
these matters that the people were
not ready for the initiative and
referendum.
1T may do after while" went
the argument, "but not now.
People do not know what it means.
You are wasting time to agitaie
for 1t.
And now the people have shown
that they know perfectly what it
means, and are determined TO have
it.
SO, at last, We are likely to have

With the initiative and referep-
dun we shall not need any consti-
tutional amendments nor cons,itu-
tional conventions; We can abolish
all bosses and machines; we can
have the laws enforced aud compel
corporations and rich men &c pay
taxes.
We must expect, therefore, that
all the bosses. machines, corpora
tions and rich tax-dodgers will
endeavor IN every possible way TO
prevent or sidetrack or delay the
necessary legislation.
Any member of the Legislature
that lends himself to any such
plan proclaims tha. he is IN the
