MORE MONEY NEEDED
APPROPRIATION FOR BUSINESS
SCHOOL INSUFFICIENT.
Appeal Made to Congress - Commits
sioners Say 1927 900 Will Be
Necessary.

The District Commissioners have decided
to recommend to Congress that the appro-
priation for the new Business High School
building be raised from $175,oOO to $321,OOo.
The Commissioners say that with $11o.OO0
1t will be impossible to erect building
suitable to the needs Of the institution. Inc
school is rapidly growing and the Commits
sioners agree with the school authorities
that 1t would be ill-advised economy to
erect a building that would be outgrown
practically before it Is completed The
views of the District rulers will be tran3-
mitted to Mr.. Cannon, chairman OF the
House appropriations committee, who will
be asked to place an item in the District
appropriation bill raising the limit OF cost.
At the last session Of Congress $toOO0
was appropriated for the purchase OF
site and 81, 500 provided for the prepara-
ton Of plans. The Commissioners secured
as a site the square bounded by Sth ana
9th streets and Rhode Island avenue and
r streets. The sum of $500 for the prepa-
ration of plans is regarded as Inadequate,
according to the scale of architects fees as
fixed by the American Institute or Arcni-
tects. 1t is probable, therefore, II the ao-
ditional appropriation Is secured, that the
81 500 may be used in prizes for a competi-
tive contest, such as was done In the case
of the plans for the municipal hospital ana
the municipal building.
Statement by Board.
In their letter on the subject to the ap-
preparations committee the Commissioners
will. say.
1.-THE Commissioners requested the board
of education to make statement as 10
what is needed for business high school,
preparatory to getting up the program OF
competition for the plans. In the report
OF the board 1t is stated that the number
of pupils in the Business High School IN
October last was 6T2, and that II the new
building took two years to build that the
number at that time. according to the
present ratio Of growth, would be between
800 and 800, and that in the opinion of the
beard there should be accommodations Tor
at least 1900 pupils in the new building.
IAN estimate made by the Inspector OF
buildings on this data is as follows:
"'To accommodate 200 pupils there
would be needed in the building approx
mately 1257, 800 cubic feet Of space, which,
in accordance with the present prices or
material, would cost 26 cents cubic foot
70. building or total cost Of 321,OOO, in
Guiding architects fees. A three-story
building could be erected on part of the
lot, so that wings could be added later. at
a cost of $265, 900. OF course, in that way
the total cost Of the building would be
greater than If the entire building were
erected at once The increase In cost Is
due primarily to the fact that it Is desired
but also because of the increase in the cost
of building material and labor, which has
advanced the cost Of school buildings about
20 DER cent"

Pennsylvania Receipts.
Freight Agent Bowie Of the Pennsylvania
railroad this afternoon said:
There are on hand in our yards in WASH
ington today, including the number that re-
manned unioaded from yesterday, eighty
eight cars of anthracite and fifty-five cars
Of bituminous coal. The Pennsylvania has
transported to Washington during the past
thirty days more coal than for the same
period last year or of any previous year.
Fhirty-five cars Of hard and forty-nine Of
soft coal were brought to the city over the
pennsylvania last night. or course. the
local dealers have no reserve and the
amount of coal received from day to day
is not equal to the demand"
Over the B. and o.
The usual amount of coal is being brought
to the city by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. There will likely be a falling OF for
a few days In the amount received from
the anthracite regions owing to the cessa-
ton Of work incident to the holiday vaca-
lions.
Purchase Of Soft Coal.
The question Of bringing to the city soft
coal in large quantities was again taken up
by the citizens committee at the Riggs
House last night. It was said that sufa-
cient soft coal to relieve the stringency
might be obtained at Norfolk where nearly
all the river steamers get their supply.
The plan is to have the coal from Norfolk
transported to Washington by vessel. The
enterprise is private one, but it will be Of
great benefit to the people of the city.
The subcommittee, composed Of w. w.
Danenhower, r. V. Andrews and Barry
Buckley. appointed to investigate the rail-
road facilities, is making a careful and
thorough study of the Pennsylvania, the
Reading, Baltimore and Ohio, and Chesa-
peake and Ohio roads. The committee will
probably be able to report on Friday night.

Morgan's Earning Power.

PlttSnurR DlSpdlCH. .
 The testimony in that Chicago case that a promoter of the steel combination paid $24,7 for a three minutes interview with J. P. Morgan has variety of aspects. But to the practical mind its most inn posing phase Is the opportunity 1t oilers for further stock promotion.
 In the great corporate developments Of the past two or three years the principle has been adopted that the proper basis of reorganiZation and capitalization is earning power secured by exclusive con trol But the stock of subjects for such exploitation is nearly exhausted. When the field is otherwise cleaned up this case in the absence of rebutting testimony shows the last and greatest achievement to be the reorganization and capltanZa- ton of Morgan himself.
 The corporation that issued preferred and common stock on Morgan would. of course, have a monopoly of him. So that feature would be more genuine than i'll the case of several other trusts. As to earning power this evidence is over hundred and tWentY-One dollars for three minutes of Morgans time is at the rate of S3S63, 360 per eight-hour day and would exceed $23, 0O0. coo per week. 1t is conceded that the corporation operating Morgan must allow him vacation or the plant would deteriurate. Give him three months each year to reCupcrate among the crowned heads of Europe and the re- maining thrty-nine weeks of the year
 The opportunity to issue some $l0,000- 000 900 of preferred and common stocks on this basis is too glittering to be neglect ed. The ultimate achievement of the present age will be the great lnterna- tional Morgan Corporation.

A DANGEROUS DELusIoN.

The Advertiser cannot agree with some of its Alabama contemporaries in their assertion that there will be no accessions to the Republican Party in this State. There will be no hegira from Democracy to Republicanism in Alabama. There will be no stampede to that party and no scramble for places in it's ranks The re- membrance of Republican misrule in Ala bama is too vivid to be so soon forgot ten, and some of the acts of that party are of too recent occurrence for all of us not to be mindful of them.
 But while this is so. and while we do not believe that there will be many Ala bamians of prominence who will desert their party, we consider 1t foolish to ar que that a decent white Republican Party will draw no recruits from the De- mocracy. The financial question, we be- lieve and hope, will be so decidedly and properly settled that there will be no ex- cuse for a believer in honest money to go to the Republican Party for comfort, but any man who believes that there are no protective tariff men among the Dem- ocrats is not we'll posted. They are as firm believers in the tariff theory as any Republican is. They have been kept out of that party because they would not associate or affiliate with any organi- zation dominated by negroes.
 If that objection shall be entirely re- moved there will be accessions from our party to tho Republican Party and we may as well admit it and be prepared for it. There is not a shadow of doubt in our minds about the success of the Demo- cratic State ticket, if Democrats do their duty, but If they expect to succeed by lying still there may be some surprises in November. The Republican ticket is composed of as good material as can be found in their party, and they propose to make a clean campaign, they say. But that party and that ticket in Alabama stands for the same theories and prin- ciples of government which have always been obnoxious to a very large majority of the people of Alabama. If Democrats are mindful of their duty to their party and their State, and are not forgetful Of the obligations resting on them as con- servators of the best interests of the people, they will defeat the Republican ticket fairly and decisively. That victory will not be achieved by hugging to our selves the delusion that there will be no changes from Democracy to Repub licanism, or by going to sleep in the be- lief that our ticket will elect itself with out effort More than one party disas- ter has resulted from such tactics We must work in every locality in the State from now until the polls close in No vember. There are some portions of the State where the Republicans are very numerous and those who live where all the voters are Democrats must not im- agine that their votes will not be needed The Democratic Party expects every man to do his duty on election day.

The Municipal Safety.
Constitution.

At0nta Constitution,
 The recent unearthing of the municipal frauds and franchise selling combines of St. Louis aldermen has shamed every honest man in that city and added one more sensational example of the folly of committing clty's legislation and busi- ness to the hands of curb-Stone politicians and characterless ward henchmen of party bosses.
 Other cities have within a year devel- oped similar scandals and 1t Is very probable that an honest probe thrust in- to number of our municipal machines would reach like sacks of public putres- ence These revelations are again caus- ing the press and public opinion to debate what manner of remedy the people may resort to for the conservation of their properties and rights in our large cities
 There never has been any need to de- bate that question. The remedy Is right now in the hands of the people. where fl has always been. Tho weapon of defense is the ballot of an honest citizen who is independent enough to do his own think ing and self-respecting enough not to cast his ballot for man whose charac- ter he would not individually indorse, and to whose honesty he would not en- trust his own private honor anu business.
 The municipal problem l. the crucial one of our civilization. Our cities are growing in population and power. The judged by it's city life. It is part of the law of civilization that cities should finally rule the national life. If we are to go on as in the past regarding city government as a part of partisan poll tics and the power of it as spells for corruptionists, then we must be prepared to see the rights and property of the people always on the bargain counter and to see city legislation in the hands of men whose highest ambition is to "get their share of the sWag!'
 The AIr.7can citizen has no duty to perform ;oward himself. his family and his neigt.iDrs more important than to make sule of the results of the ballots he casts in the city election. Upon the men to whom he commits the business of his home town depend the health of his family. the education of his children, the safety of his property. the justice of his taxes and the sanctity of the citys s properties, rights and franchises. No man can he a good municipal patriot who permits any consideration to con- mand his ballot for man or measure that he has reason to doubt will serve the highest and best interests of himself and his fellow citizens at large.
