one OF the measures OF o-called economy
proposed as a condition precedent to the
establishment by Congress OF a deceutly lib
erai pay scale for the public school teachers
of the District Is the adoption of the policy
OF erecting large buildings to replace the
more numerous small ones now in use 1t
is argued that tie larger buildings are less
expensive in maintenance. One principal
and one janitor may serve In the stead or
three OF each class The coal bill may be
reduced somewhat Other supplies and re-
pairs may cost less. 1t is possible to figure
out a saving Of $4,000 or at the most S25,-
O" a year by dint Of these economies.
But In order to effect this result some
highly skillful hnaucleriux will be neces-
sary. The thing cannot DC tone In a hurry.
The municipality has the power to condemn
land for new school sites. but il cannot
Commanded q purchaser for an old one.

It's property. probably at a loss 1t must
house the pupils now cared for In the small
buildings while the new ones are being con-
structed II cannot turn the famous trick
proposed by the Buffalo alderman OF an
economical frame of mind who, when the
county had voted TO build a new Jail, Of
fered a resolution in council that for the
purpose OF saving money the ma teriais OF
the old Jail should be used In the erection
OF the new one. but that in the interest OF
public safety the old jail be not torn down
until the new one was completed.
Therefore. to finance this scheme Of larger
buildings IL will be necessary Tor Congress
at first to appropriate very large sum or
money for the purchase of sites and the
construction OF buildings. Those sites will
cost more than did the ones to be aban-
doned, conceding the increase In land values
since the small houses were built. They
must be larger than the old ones to permit
the construction OF the larger buildings.
Thus. even II the new sites are more eco
ironically situated than the DID, they will
probably absorb all that the old viii bring
In the market as real estate. granting that
the old sell for higher square foot rate
than the new cost. The old sites, when
eventually sold. will probably bring only the
actual land values, regardless OF improve
mentss for there is practically no market for
old school buildings. save as secondhand
building materials. 1t Is. In short impos-
sible to foresee any actual economy In *

process OF exchanging the larger buildings
for the smaller. granting good luck In dig
posing of the latter.
In the meantime, while the large sum
necessary for the erection of the new big
building. Is being expanded. the old school
houses must be maintained They will not
contribute penny to the fund in either
current savings or market returns. II every
one of the old small buildings could be
promptly sold at a fair figure Immediately
after the completion of the new equipment
the saving process would begin. 1t the rate.
it Is barely possible. Of $4,000 or $4,000 a
year. How many years would IT require for
the double expenditure sustained during the
period OF replacement?
Thus, granting that tim exchange could
trict in real estate costs. and that the new
system could save in three years All that
had been lost in this process Of maintaining
and providing duplicate equipment. fully
seven or eight years would elapse before the
capital would be finally placed upon the
economical basis OF building maintenance
now proclaimed as one OF the necessary
presidents to teachers promotions. And
even then the net saving putting the figure
at the highest possible point. would be only
one-sixet of the estimated cost of the least
expensive scheme OF salary Increases and
automatic promotions
Viewed as a cold business proposition. this
claim that the building policy must be
changed before the District can pay Its
teachers decent salaries Is not especially
convincing.

Factionalism, Local and National

Seldom IL ever before, have political fac
lions been so fierce, or political matters In
general been SO mixed. as at present. Both
parties are involved, and apparently every
section where there are two parties affected.
In Tennessee a canvass for the demo
cratic nomination for governor has devei-
oped so much bitter feeling that split In
the party is feared. or else a compromise
nomination without strength with the vot-
ers. If The republicans were united their
prospects. even with the election laws
against them, would be excellent. But they
are at war among themselves, and pfling
up difficulties In their own path daily.
In Ohio the republicans are in demon
allied condition. partly as the result OF
Coxism, and partly as the result of prest-
Dental politics. The time is ripe for an
effective democratic movement But the
democrats are not In trim to make the play.
The Johnson faction and the anti-Johnson
faction are far apart. and prospects for a
union are not bright Mr.. Johnson seeks
to control the state delegati ton to the next
democratic national convention, while the
other faction has plans of Its own respect
ing the partys national leadership that
year.
In New York the republicans. after twelve
yceaiS VI coHtifluOuS control. are very much
discredited, and somewhat downhearted
The state Is almost unrepresented in the
United States Senate. and there is opposi-
ton to Gov. Higgins for denomination A
more complicated situation, even in that
state OF complicated politics, 1t is difficult to
imagine But the democrats are but poorly
on themselves. II Mr.. Hearst Is nominated
for governor In July by his Independence
League fight will be made to prevent the
ratification of the action by the democratic
state convention In September: and II ratifi-
cation Is prevented the democratic vote will
be split wide open at the polls in November.
And even II Mr.. Hearst captures the Sep
tenaoer convention large numbers of demo-
Gratis will desert to the republicans. Who
may safely say. therefore, what will taxa
place In New York this year?

Save Our Game Birds!
From the New York World

From the New York Nofiu.
When certain game birds are plucked 1t is
practically impossible to decide whether
they are of American or of foreign species
Hence the danger lurking in the bill drawn
by an assembly committee which permits
the possession and sale of game birds out
of season provided they are imported from
Europe. This measure was drawn at the
instance of proprietors of hotels and res
taurants in this city. Without questioning
their good faith In the matter 1t is plain
that the enactment of this bill would open
the door to general evasion Of the existing
laws Our Albany dispatch on the subject
this morning. however. intimates that the
bill Is likely to pass. unless those who are
interested in the preservation OF our native
birds and particular sportsmen who favor
the strict observance of the game laws be-
stir themselves to oppose IT.
