Driving a Tandem Team.

Suppose the next House of Repre-
sentatives is Democratic, which the
majority of politicians now frankly
think it will be. What viii happen?
The Senate viii continue Republi-
can; there is no possibility of that
condition changing within the four
years OF the Presidential term be-
ginning March 4 next.
1t isn't material, for present pur-
poses, whether the Presidency goes
to the Republicans or to the Demo-
Gratis. in either case. the Govern
ment would be divided between the
two parties.
Handling a tandem team is a good
deal more difficult business than
driving an ordinary pair. Handling
Congress and getting results out OF
il is 4 business which has been the
despair of Presidents from George
Washington down to Theodore
Roosevelt. When Congress is
hitched up as a pair, it is plenty
bad enough; but when one house is
Republican and the other Demo-
cratic, and both insisting on taking
the lead in the tandem, it is vastly
worse.
Suppose the Democrats control
the next House. What man in the
Presidential chair would be, of all
the statesmen in the country, best
equipped in experience, in the pub
lie confidence, in tested quality Of
leadership, in policies approved by
the nation. TO handle that Congress
half Republican, half Democratic.
There viii be little dissent, it is
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1908-04-20

believed, in answering that query.
Manifestly, President Roosevelt,
whose Democratic support is only
less open and apparent than his Re
publican, is the man peculiarly
qualified for the task of heading a
politically bifurcated Congress. The
possibility of such n condition hard
" needs more than be suggested to
make this conclusion apparent.
Mr.. Bryan could not command
Republican confidence if he should
be President, with a Republican
Senate to pass on his recommends
tions. Secretary Taft or Senator
Knox or any of the rest of them
excepting, of course, Senator La
Follette-would be likewise unable
to command the support of tie
Democratic House.
Out of them all, none can com
pare to President Roosevelt for ca
pacity TO get results in the next
four years. And results are what
the country wants.

Cut According to Our Cloth.

The difference between the Dis
trict appropriation act, as passed by
the House and as reported to the
Senate. is the difference between
adequate government and skimped
government.
In the one case, the schools, po-
lice, fire department Fairgrounds,
and health service are all sacrificed
to a hard limit. In the other they
are all fairly well provided for, and
the prospective revenues are yet
not exceeded. The money in sight
is S11, 500, 900. The total of the SEN
ate bill is S11,36S,OOO.
For the greatest step forward so
far proposed for our schools-as
Estated more fully in another column
l-forty-five additional policemen,
two new engine companies, new
sewers, a beginning of work on the
( Anacostia flats, the productive
maintenance of the Fairgrounds,
and a general broadening Of the al
IIowances for such charities as the
tuberculosis hospital, the District
acknowledges its obligation to the
members of the Senate subcommit-
tee. Our people should see. to it
that no opportunity to support their
recommendations is lost; that
Chairman Gallinger and his fellows
who have reported the bill shall be
made to feel that the District is not
iunappreciative.
But neither they nor we should
lose sight of the principle for which
we of Washington have contended
so earnestly, and which is yet dis
regarded by this bill-the right to
finance our extraordinary projects
as every other city of the Union has
provided for its corresponding i'm
provements. Had that plan been
adopted here there need have been
no limit on the allowances short of
the actual need at the time the I'M
provements should be complete.

A Great Step for the Schools.

Every parent with a child in our
public schools is in debt to the
Senate subcommittee which has re-
ported the District appropriation
act for the forthcoming fiscal year.
As far as lay in the power of Mr..
GalIinger and his associates, they
have corrected the error of the
House IN assuming that any item of
the budget could be more important
than the safety of our children
while in charge of the state. Con-
slider these increases:
To make freproof the three build
ings for which the Commissioners
have already issued specifications,
S6e.OOo.
To replace wooden stairways with
-freproof stairways, S15O,OOo.
To install fire alarms, fireprOofng
over furnaces, air checks for out
side doors, and similar projections
for the children, 100000.
To complete the Mckinley Manual
Training School, S125,OoO.
To erect three new fireproof
buildings, repair the Central High
School. and buy sites Tor other
buildings. S546,5OO.
This advance over the House al
lowauces will provide for all the
children now in rented buildings,
but not for the increase by the time
the buildings are ready or for the
children in frame buildings. But by
every cent it is a distinct gain for
the children, by every moment Of
safety, by every new desk.
The recommendation for 500, 200
covers the sixteen-room buildings
for the vicinity of Lincoln Park and
Columbia Heights, and the twelve
room building for the Eighth di-
vision, 20 which these columns have
given particular attention. AS has
been stated more than once, they
could not be finished in less than
two years, according to the old
DldlS llNN NNAC w NC COAAAbNAS lAtJANl .
and so further proceedings accord
ing to those plans postponed the
day of safety for our children by
two years. and added 1000 a year to
the number in danger.
BY increasing the allowance the
Senate subcommittee not only does
its best to make safe these 1000
youngsters, but goes as Ear as it
can toward determining a new pol
icy for our schools. That new
policy is that from this day on
school buildings in the. Capital of
the United States sail be proof
against flame to the roof.
Behind the other increases lies a
like far-seeing interest for the Dis
trict. The new buildings authorized
are of the same high type. The
older buildings are TO be made as
secure as possible. The money for
the Mckinley, crowded today be-
Cond all reason, and likely to be
crowded for years to come, is to be

Fiddling While Forests Burn.

The fixed determination of the
House leaders to do nothing in the
present session is too finely illus
trated by their treatment of the
Appalachian-White Mountain bill.
Sentiment for this measure through
out the country is overwhelming.
Two important hearings have been
had-one on January 80 before the
House Committee on Agriculture,
and the other on February p be-
fore the House Committee on Ju-
dietary. The numbers and weight
of the people and sections repre-
scented and the arguments presented
in these hearings should have con-
WINGED anybody open TO conviction.
No action has been had, even to
beat the bill IN the open.
1t is not even correct. as reported,
that the judiciary Committee has
decided adversely. 1t has not de-
cided at all. Three individual mem
bers-Messrs. Jenkins, Littlefeld,
and Brantley-have formulated
opinions which have beer read be-
fore the committee. Rumor says
that a decision may be reached next
Wednesday,; but the day Of action
has been so often deferred as TO
make the heart sick.
AS to these individual opinions:
Mr.. LittIefeId opines that Congress
may buy land TO improve or con-
serve river navigability, but moth
ing else, and that the present bills
are too broad. They could, how
ever, easily be narrowed to meet his
view.
Mr.. BrantIey's opinion offers no
serious difficulty.
The Jenkins opinion, however,
sees lions in the way. Inasmuch as
the right of Congress, under the
/ interstate commerce clause, to pro-
tect navigation is conceded, Judge
/ jenkins finds i necessary to show
that the bill is not designed or nee
| essary for the protection of naviga-
ton. True. the whole argument
made in the hearing before his com
mittee on February p by friends of
the bill, was directed to prove that
the legislation is necessary in the
interests of navigation. True, the
argument remains unanswered Mr..
Jenkins brushes it aside with the
declaration, Every person inter
ested knows that Congress does not
intend by the purchase or by the
/ acquisition of the land TO take any
steps affirmatively toward the i'm
I provement of the rivers affected"
One fact stands out clear. Upon
this Judiciary Committee and the
powers. or power, behind it, rests a
tremendous responsibility. While
they fiddle Rome burns. Forest
fires easily Preventable destroy $780,
100000 worth annually. Floods de-
strov another S10O,OOO.O0O worth
/ each year. Soils worth a billion
dollars are every year washed into
rivers. But the Constitution, which
was created to promote the gen
eral welfare" is made to look like
barrier against the general vel
fare. The country will understand
| bv whose hands this is done.
