corruptonlsts

Prof. George H. Boke of Berkeley
made strong plea before the students
of the University of Southern Califor-
mia yesterday morning in the interests
of the the League of the Republic. He
urged the college men of today to wake
up to realization of the situation and
especially California and make a firm
stand for justice and freedom; to make
1t their first aim in life--no matter at
what cost to their own individual
careers.
The youth of the nation should orr
ganize, he said, and use its united force
in overcoming the machines of corrup-
ton which are threatening the down
fall of both state and nation.

The one-piece model for children's

Board otTrade and the schools

A petition has been presented to Con
gress by the Washington Board OF Trade
protesting against the Dolliver and Bur
Lesson bills. affecting the Washington
public schools The board opposes the
pending bills for these reasons:
| l. That the present law has not had "a fair and
thorough test"
> That the proposal tc abolish the hoard Of eiu-
cation. the tried ard experienced supervising princi
pals. and other officers II the present system and
vest in a director the entire control Of the schools
contemplstes "aa undesirable innovation. and c,e
not in harmony with the principles Of school admin
isration that have proved sound by the experience
Of American cities" )"
3 That these hills, through Federal appoint
ing power. would take wholly out Of the hands Of
the Washington people their proper representation
and natural and rightful influence in the administn-
ton OF the schools deDTiTng them OF their partci-
patton in municipal duty which closely and vitality
concerns them.
4 That the proposed change in the law would
overtuTn situation now peaceful and satisfactory.
The petition is signed by the president
and secretary and committee Of repre-
sentative members of the board. acting in
pursuance of a resolution adopted by the
board OF lraQe as a DOQY.
The Washington Herald dlssents from
the first proposition above set forth. II
thinks that the present law has had a fair
test and been found wanting. BY its
fruits only can it be judged II has pro
duced confusion contention, strife, tur-
moil, and scandal, all rejecting discredit-
ably upon the Capital City. Its advocates
themselves admit that the present law Is
in urgent need OF an amendment to
couple with the power OF appointment of
the board of education the power OF re-
moval, yet the Board of Trade. strange
to say. goes on record against any
| change in law"
On the second proposition, this news
paper also dissents. It favors, and favors
heartily, the general idea of concentrated
authority in school direction and manage
ment, and finds this feature of the pend
ing bills commendable in the highest de-
gree. As 10 the details. however. involv-
ing the subject of supervision. it is quite
ready 20 believe that the bills might be
amended with profit.
On the third proposition, The Washing
ton Herald supports the position of the
Board of Trade unqualifedly. 1t regards
the plan to lodge In the hands OF bureau
official of the Federal government the ap-
pointment OF the director Of the schools as
illogical, incongruous. and unfair to the
people OF the District OF Columbia
On the fourth proposition. this paper
finds itself unable TO agree. The situa-
ton, on the surface, at least, is peace
fur at present. but Washington has had
ten years experience with the board sys-
TEN. and in that time peace has been the
exception, and seldom the rule No situa-

ton is satisfactory that is subject to
such dissensions as the board system
continually invites and permits.
If the Board OF Trade had confined its
opposition to that feature of the Dolliver
and BurIeson bills providing for Federal
control: IL II had not committed Itself TO
the present board system, which obviously
is not success. and if it had urged the
placing the power of appointment IN the
hands of the Board of District Commits
soners, where II logically and properly
belongs. then Congress. no doubt, would
lend a more willing ear.
Every other department of the District
government is directed and managed by a
single head appointed by the Commis-
sioners. They are successfully directed
and managed. And that. In the opinion
of this newspaper. is the system that
should be applied 20 the schools.

Conserving Water powor

There is one paragraph in President

has direct bearing on some rather sus-

lessly given away without return has already ben,n

the West also. No rights involving water po,yer
should be granted 10 any corporations in rer.
petuity. but only for length of tirse sufficient 70
allow them 70 conduct their business proftably. A
reasonable charge should. OF course. be made fo-

The President had in mind a number
Of private bills granting water-power
rights, but more particularly a genera,
measure introduced in both House and
Senate granting locations and rights of
