Residence Restriction Removed.

The government work will be probably
better done in all departments in conse-
quenCe Of the action yesterday of the
conferees on the census bill in voting to
eliminate the Senate amendment reauir-
ing applicants for positions in the federal
service to have maintained an actual resi-
dence Of one year before examination in
the state in which they claim legal resi-
dence As The Star has heretofore point
ed out. that proposition. applying not only
10 the census office. but to all other
branches Of the government service, would
have effectually barred virtually all dwell
ers in the District of Columbia, including
even the children of the government en-
ployes who are accredited TO the states.
Not only would this have been hard
ship to the individuals who seek employ
ment in the government, but it would
have deprived the departmental chiefs Of
the services OF some of the most capable
young men and women to be found within
the range of the civil service system
The District is highly gratifed at being
thus relieved of the menace of a whole
sale prohibition against public employ
ment directed at its residents. 1t feels
that the government. exercising as 1t
does an exclusive control over local affairs,
Should regard this community in more
friendly and helpful spirit than that evi-
denced in the amendment just eliminated
from the census bill. The United States
created this Jurisdiction for the purpose
of maintaining here the seat of govern
ment, and has always insisted upon cer-
tain standards and restrictions, which,
however contributOry to the evolution of
ar ideal municipality and place of public
work, have, nevertheless. rendered diff
cult the task of the younger members of
the community in establishing themselves
Independently. Government service has
been to them what the great industrial
and commercial opportunities are to the
jewellers in other cities. The public service
offices. employing their tens of thousands,
replace economically the mills and shops
and private offices of such cities as BoS-
ton. Baltimore. Philadelphia. Pittsburg,
Detroit. Cleveland, etc. Under a strict
enforcement of the apportionment of Of
fees law the younger Washingtonians
would be excluded from participation in
this work, and it has only been by vir-
tue of the entirely proper fiction of legal
residence in the states that the local
aspirants for Office have been enabled to
place themselves.
The government has lost by reason of
this restriction and now that the con-
ferees on the census bill have put a stop
to this new movement TO render the Sc
lection of capable workers more difficult
than before Congress should, with an eye
to the best interests of the public service
and without regard for the spoils of office
proceed to abolish the absurd system of
allotting the public positions as patron
age among the various states in proper
xion to population.

An Income Tax.

Now if David b. Hill were member
of the Senate. the country would be
treated TO a feast of reason and a flow of
argument on the subject of an income
tax. Hill versus Bailey-both lawyers Of
The first class-would cause us all to take
notice. 1t has been fifteen years since
Mr.. Hill spoke in the Senate against that
proposition He lost there, but won in
the Supreme Court. At that time Mr..
Hill coutended chat an income tax in time
of peace was undemocratic. and as a
democrat he refused to support it. But
many things are now democratic that
were not then 50 considered. An income
tax may he among them. At any rate.
the proposition is again to be voted on
in Congress.
Evening star., 1909-04-17

ated Democrats in the House voted con-
trary to it both in its letter and spirit,
and democratic senators are preparing to
do the same thing. They accepted it last
year and tried to get in on 1t, but now
they disregard it. And from the way
they are proceeding they seem assured
Of approval at home.
But we shall not have the right sort
of politics on either side until party plat
forms are clearly and sincerely written.
sincerely expounded on the stump, and
then by the victors faithfully redeemed
in legislation. The platform which may
mean anything or nothing, and success
full candidates who after receiving their
commissions go their own gait, make for
distrust of parties and for political de-
moralization.

The Wattersonian Tariff.

Mr.. Watterson has closed his winter
residence in Florida and returned 10 the
banks of the Beargrass. The buds are
opening in Kentucky. and the land will
soon be very fair 10 see. But Mr.. Wat
terson IS familiar with 1t. and is less oc-
cupicd with the beauties OF the unfold
ing paradise than with the tariff debate
here in Washington. What are the boys
In Congress saying? What are they do

of Mr. Urderwood's declaration that the

and there may be found a democrat who
farors that policy. Mr. Watterson says:

Trade With the Philippines.
From the New York Times.

FrOM NEW
That the trade between the Philip
pines and the United States should be
as nearly free as possible is an idea that
long ago appealed 10 Mr.. Taft in con-
nection with the management of the
islands. But he recognizes certain prac-
tical difficulties in the way which would
not exist were ii not for the grave and
ill defined individuality of the Philippines
In the first place, the islands are de-
pendent on certain taxes on imports from
the United States as an important part
of their revenue. Then these substan-
TALLY revenue producing taxes have
turned out to be in a considerable de-
gree protective TO the industries compel
ing with American goods. II is obvious
that ii would be unfair to the islanders
in tile present situation TO deprive them
either of the revenue or the protection
that has developed under the operation of
the law.

Women as Street Cleaners.

Women of Washington are taking it
upon themselves to see that the streets
are kept clean; that waste paper. blow
ing this way and that, is disposed of; in
fact, that 1t Is not permitted to get upon
the streets at all These Washington
women are meeting with much success
We could wish that the women of Phila- :
delphia would assume the same duties.
And their duties would be light, after all.
If. as individuals they would see to it
that waste paper is not thrown loosely
into ash cans and put out on their own
sidewalks for the ashmen to take away,
they would quickly discover that the
eliminated. combination between the
women and the police would eradicate
what is now most pronounced and dis
gusting evil.

The Infant Industry.

AS an infant industry,
Baby mine,
You were cute as you could be,
Baby mine!
By the tariff you were nursed;
You were very shy at first.
Now of bad boys you're the worst,
Baby mine!
You have grown to be a sight,

With a fearful appetite,
Baby mine,
You have made some statesmen sad,
For you are a husky lad,
Big enough to whip your dad,
