that he intended to complete the job
by making it full hour. and keeping
the clerks at work until five O'Clock
every day.
So when the clerks went to work
the other day there was great rejoic.
ing in the White House announcement
that 4:30 would still be the limit.
Then came the second half of the
same executive order directing that
no increase should be offered, sug.
gested or proposed in any of the
budgets for anybody. Economy was
given as the cause.
This order affects not only the
Washington employees Of the govern.
ment, but its employees throughout the
country, many Of whom are figuring
on generous increases.
Secretary Loeb explained that the
no-increase order did not apply to reg.
ular promotions under the civil serv.
ice. but that it would forbid the in.
crease of any clerks or officials sal
ary for the same work. 1t is under.
stood that a number of department
heads intended to recommend in their
current estimates an increase for
some of their subordinates. The presi
dents order spoils all of this.

THE liveliest question in Washing

the districts form of government.
AS everybody probably well knows
affairs are administered now by a com
mission of three men appointed by
the president, one of whom must be an
army engineer d"
Their. is undoubtedly growing
opinion that a concentration of au-
thority in the district government
would simplify the municipal situation
and produce better results. The COM
mission plan has its good features.
1t has long been held up as a model,
ideally suited to the needs of the Dis
trict of Columbia. where suffrage is
denied. But frequent and repeated
contention and pickering among the
members of the board have served to
create more or less general criticism
of the commission plan. and thus give
the propaganda for a change some mo-
mentum. With the commissioners OBJ
viously working at cross purposes,
and airing their differences, and sub
ordinate district officials following

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT caused
l great rejoicing among 25,o03 gov
ernment clerks here the other day. by
announcing that he had no intention
of compelling the poor overworked
employees to labor an additional 80
minutes daily.
But before the rejoicing got to the
danger point. he spoiled it all BY add
ing a postscript that he would perE.it
no department head to increase the
salary of any of the employees.
The hours which the department
employees now observe are from nine
a. m. to 4:3O p. M, with half an hour
for lunch.
Up to three years ago. they quit at
four O'Clock in the afternoon, when
very suddenly the strenuous president
issued an order tacking on the aidi-
tonal half hour. Then it was rumored

Thus was Gertrude Hoffman, who
had "a vision of Salome" to present to
the capital at one of the leading the.
aters, banished from the sight of the
casual passerby. the street urchin and
the student of billboard art.
The offending posters now repose in
the dark recesses of the stage of the
theater, while actors and managers
and attaches gather about and declare
them martyrs to the cause of art.
"Ain't it awful. Mabel, that such
swell pictures should be condemned,
lest like some phony canned goods or

the management did not share the

Citizens Want a Change in Government

this example by engaging in noisy con-
troversies, it is a logical sequence that
the present form OF government
should gradually be somewhat under
mined
Many substantial citizens and large
taxpayers are convinced that a one
headed government would work more
smoothly and satisfactorily. This Is
no new conviction on their part. 1t
has been emphasized in recent eNhi-
bitons of division in the present tri-
umvirate, it is true, but the advisable
ity of concentrated authority has ap-
peaked to them for years.
These citizens, however, who hon
estly believe in the wisdom of a
change for the public good see great
danger In going before congress and
asking for a change at this time. II
by simple act one commissioner or
governor could be substituted for the
triumvirate they would urge it earn
estly and heartily. But they fear the
proposition would mean the opening
up of the whole question Of the rela
tions between the district and federal
government, with a possible alteration
of the organic act and perchance the
granting Of unrestricted suffrage.
Better suffer the Ills We have, they
argue, than invite ills We know not Of.
especially as the ills we now have.
though veEatious, impose no heavy
burdens and involve no maladminis
tration
