He wages a hopeless battle against the

EquuS Still Lives.

The prophecies that the horse
would go into a decline Immediately
after the use Of automobiles had
become extensive have not been
realized.
Such representations were by no
means new; they were heard in all
their dolefulness in England when
the steam railroad came in, and the
breeders OF stage-coach equines
were absolutely certain that horsey
days were over for all time. But
the animals became more numerous
and valuable than ever, made so in
directly by the railroads themselves.
The same talk was heard when the
bicycle fad was at its height, and
even the invention of electric cars
was believed 10 sound the kneu of
the horse. Still he lived and
fhrived as never before.
How is the contest between the
horse and the automobile coming
out? As a matter of fact, there is
no contest worthy the name. In the
ten years covering the reign of the
motor-vehicle horses have increased
from 14,3e4 ,667 in the United States
to 1s,71s,57s, and the value per head
IS estimated as much higher. How
ever paradoxical the reason may

The District Budget.

The action of the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations with relation
to the District budget is chiefly re-
markable for three things:
For many well-merited increases
over the allowances reported'by the
House.
For a refusal to progress farther
toward a unifcation of the District
charities.
For the provision of means to
clear away the alley slums.
Among the items increased are
these: For the erection of tablets
marking historic places in the Dis
trict, $500; for continuing the con-
struction of the Anacostia Bridge,
S275, 700; for suburban sewers, $780,
900; for improving the bathing
beach, $4,000; for the janii Jrs of
public school buildings, $500; for
additional school buildings, $1OS, 1913;
for the pay of policemen. S131.7S9;
J for preventing the spread of con-
tagious diseases, S6,3sO; for Install
ing water meters in private resi-
dences, 100000; for the construc-
tion of county roads, S11s,5O0.
The present system of payment
for the care Of District patients is
continued unchanged. The action
of the House in creating a fund for
administration by the Board of
Charities according to the greatest
advantage TO the District is nulh-
fed. There are, however, extra al
/ lowances which include within, the
use of the board hospitals which
have not been available for District
patients up 20 this time. In this
light the bill does not seem SO dis
appointing rs at first glance.
A fund of $4,000 is allowed the
Commissioners for the opening of
minor streets and alleys, and s6,2OO
is allowed for the condemnation OF
unsanitary buildings. Abundant

done well in a single year are thus
at the disposal Of the Commission
ers. With full warrant of law and
a fund of this size assuming that it
is not lessened in conference) there
ought to be no delay. By the end
of the year the Capital should be rid
Z of one OF its greatest discredits.
Great regret viii be felt through
out the District that the committee
didnot increase the appropria sion for
the tuberculosis hospital to the sum
asked by the Commissioners-sf5O,-
I 600. Similarly, it viii he generally
regretted that the disease-laden al
( leys must be cleansed at the cost of
the District alone. Any part of the

county roads might have gone 10

tage to the community directly af-

The Inspection. Bills.

The everlasting constitutional
question has bobbed up in connec-
tion with the pacling-house inspec-
tion bills. 1t seems always 10 be in
,jected into legislative affairs which
involve interests big enough to af-
ford the luxury of constitutional
debate
Judge Crumpacler of Indiana has
introduced in the House bill on
the subject which he thinks meets
the alleged constitutional objection
TO the Beveridge measure. We have
no doubt of it.
The Crumpacker proposal is rather
startling, considering that it is Of
fered as a solution for such a con-
dition of affairs as has been shown
TO exist in the packing establish
ments. If it should be substituted
for the Beveridge plan it would
cause tremendous protest as soon
as the country realized what had
been done.
The Beveridge plan provides for
Federal inspection, and gives power
to exclude from interstate commerce
products not subjected to proper in
spection. This is a practical way of
forcing the packers to submit to
the inspection. 1t is utterly i'm
practicable for them to separate, in
the preparation, products intended
for State from those intended for
interstate trade; so they would be
reached all along the line.
The Crumpacker plan first pro-
vides effective Federal inspection,
and then comes the proviso: That if
there is satisfactory local" inspec-
Tion the Federal inspectors shall
merely afix their Endorsement to
that of the local authorities, and
thereupon the product shall be ad-
mitted TO interstate commercel
This is such transparent folly that
1T ought to fool nobody. 1t is so
gauzy that anybody misled by it
viii be misled because he refuses
to see. 1t is a proposal to eviscerate
not only the proposed inspection of
domestic products but also that
which is now in force for protec-
tion of export goods.
Here is what it means. Local
inspection could be established at
Chicago either by the State of Illi-
nois or the county of Cook, OF the
city of Chicago; at Kansas City by
the State or Kansas, the county of
Jackson, or the city of Kansas City;
at Omaha by the State of Nebraska,
the county of Douglas, or the city
of Omaha Packers who chose TO
do so would use their power to get
the sort of inspection that would
best serve their purpose. If they
failed to work the Legislature, the
town council would serve the pur-
pose. 1t would then be a matter of
getting approval from the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for this local
system.
There would be no uniformity. nc
standards. The Federal Govern
ment's Endorsement would mean
nothing whatever.
The Beveridge amendment nav
need some adjustment, though most
of the arguments thus far advanced
against it are trivial and imaginary.
But it is certain that the Crum-
packer bin viii not do at all. The
effort to put it on the country would
only create great scandal.
