COMMENTARIES DEVOTION TO
NIGHT SCHOOL WORK.

For several years past our School
Board has had an appropriation of
$4,000 or so for night school work.
The fund has been used for the Bust
ness High School, industrial classes
at the Armstrong icolored), and at
some of the grade schools Persistent
efforts have been made to have an adj
ditional $4,000 for technical classes at
the Mckinley, but, so far, Congress has
not seen fit TO respond.
OF all night school work it would
seem to Us that these technical classes
are the most important and calcu-
lated to do the very greatest good. To
give a practical demonstration of their
effectiveness and of the demand that
exists for them, it was determined to
have such night classes this season.
in spite Of the fact that there was no
fund available therefor. DIR. Myers
and his splendid corps of teachers vol
unteered their services gratis, and after
working all day with their regular
classes are devoting their evenings to
this public spirited task.
There is already aa enrolment Of 500

REVELATIONS ABOUT RACE.
TRACK GAMBLING.

The testimony of Henry Brolaski, Of
Los Angeles. Cal. before the Senate
judiciary Committee, about racetrack
gambling. ought to be enough to end
that particular form of vice, for all
time. in this country, Brolaski has
been bookmaker and follower of the
ponies for many years; but he turned
states evidence. and disclosed a con-
dition of affairs which, if it doesn't
serve to convince the last gambler of
his folly. ought to induce Congress TO
make the continuation of this evil i'm
possible.
II Brolaskfs story is true-and the
facts which are of common knowledge
all point 10 It's aUthenticity-the man
who bets on the races doesn't have a
ghost Of a chance for his money. He
wins Just often enough TO keep him
putting up his cash for the book
NAL ers; that's all. Five per cent of
tho time is Brolaski's statement of It.
Race tracks of the big, professional
kind, which are operated as an adjunct
TO the poolroOms of great cities, are
conducted without reference to their
own financial product, according TO
Brolaski They may run day after day
with a mere handful of PEOPLE look
ing at the races. Their real business is
10 furnish something for the public
hundreds and thousands of miles away.
TO bet on. And that something is one
OF the finest sure things that could be
imagined The gambling is not done
on the tracks; that is, only a small
part of it is done there. The great
evil is in the poolrooms and handbooks
which ere operated all over the coun-
try 20 give suckers chance to bet on
races that are fixed" in advance.
II appears that the big gambling
race Establishments have nearly all
been shut up. We get racing news
from Mexico and Canada nowadays, and
from few scattered tracks which are
still running in this country, and it

MR.. MANN'S UNNECESSARY
REBUKE.

An unusually capable official of the
District government has been engaged
for several years in perfecting a sys-
tenn which would make it possible to
present the District budget to Con-
gress in form which would give a
comprehensive idea of the manner in
which funds are being expended. He
observed all the necessary proprieties;
first, in presenting his plan to the Dis
trict Commissioners, and, second,
through the Commissioners to Con
gross. His reward was a public rebuke
at the hands of Representative Mann
of Illinois.
Mr.. Mann, apparently, puts a pre-
MUM on retrogression- His attack
upon Auditor Tweedale yesterday
would indicate that to his mind an
honest endeavor to bring about i'm
provements in municipal government
is sufficient cause for removal from
office. Mr.. Mann regards the zeal of a
public official as an impudent interior
ence with the legislative powers of
Congress. If his uncalled for attack
upon the Auditor Of the District Of
Columbia reflected the sentiment of
the House of Representatives, then
every Government official would be
justified in feeling that Congress re-
gsrded him as an automaton, who is
paid only to do work as il was done
a score Of years ago without regard
to the progress of the times. We do
not believe, however, that Mr.. Mann
reflects the sentiment Of the House.
The District budget as it was sent
to Congress this yesr-and as it has
been sent to Congress for many years
past-wss a garbled mass Of figures.
It would take an expert accountant
many weeks TO segregate the estimates
under the proper subdivisions. If Mr.
TweedaIe's plan were adopted Congress
and the people of the District could
tell at a glance just what relation a
particular department bore to the total
expenditures, and the increase or de-
crease in the expenditures of every de-
partment could be detected in a mo-
ment.
The difficulty IS that Congress has
been receiving the budget in another
form. To substitute an up-to-date
plan would involve, upon the part of
interested members of Congress, only
small amount of time TO become
familiar with the improved form. But
Congress has been getting the budget
in the oldfashioned way, and Mr.
Mann resents che very suggestion Of
progress. Mr.. Tweedale should not b.
discouraged. The very merits of his
plan make its adoption certain at an
early date.

OUR MOUNTED ,"BOBBIES" IN
BUSINESS SECTION.

The sight of mounted policemen at
our downtown street crossings is re-
freshing. Heretofore, only those who
have wandered into the outer highways
and byways, the green paths" of
suburbandom have seen these gallant
cavaliers. This departure of the
Majors means the creation of a full
fiedged traffic squad" While to our
unframed and lay mind it might seem
that bicycle, particularly motorcycle,
officers, would be more effectivel it is
probably true that a imam on horse
back is appropriate and harmonizes
better with our artistic surroundings,
especially those other equestrians in
bronze that some of our misguided
friends have seen fit to scatter with
generous hands about the city
Howbeit, we hail with delight this
innovation; it flatters our vanity and
makes US feel that we are now, indeed.
no longer in a city of but magnificent
distances" but in very metropolis.
New York and Chicago and Philadel-
phia can no longer point the finger
of scorn at us. We, too, are 1T.
But, Major, have those horses shined
up bit, and a little more brass about
the accoutrements; give 'em some
snap. It'll tickle Us still more.

PUBLIC FAVORS THE BIG
POINT IN BASEBALL.

Big events are expected to develop
at the baseball league meetings in New
York. Talk of longer seasons, Of
changes in the makeup of the leagues,
snc of impending war is in the air;
but we have no doubt it will all end
satisfactorily. Politics is bound to
creep into so vast a business as the
national game has come to be, and the
public merely looks for good sport
clean sport and brilliant.
If there are magnates who put per
sonal power above the welfare of the
game, then the sooner they are shown
the door the better it will be all
around. The hands of presidents
striving for the maintenance of the
high reputation of baseball as a sport
need to be held up steadily and at all
hazards If they do this, and get a
reasonable return on their invest
ment," they are doing well. Properly
conducted, with fairness and Iiberality,
baseball is the most popular and
profitable sport in the whole category /;
and it would be purblind officials who
would argue otherwise.
The public will look for the best
season on record in 1910, and Washing
tonians, always amiable despite disap-
pointments, will continue to indulge
their hope that some day they may be
represented by frst-division club.

THE CORPORATION ia
STATUTE.

Il would certainly be most inter
esting commentary on the uncertainties
of legislation and adjudication 4 the
corporation tax law of the tarlh ses-
sion should be held unconstitutional.
II was enacted on the preteXt tnaI
there was serious danger that an IN
come tax measure, passed without frst
securing an amendment to the Con-
stitution. might be held unconstItu-
tional. Concerning the income tax
measure. indeed, there was decided diff
ference of opinion. Those who op-
posed It protested against "enacting a
lawsuit" Now it appears very plainly
that in the corporation tax measure
Congress has undoubtedly enacted a
lawsuit.
The American Protective Tariff
League. which is always ready with
vigorous opposition to whatever pro
noses 10 raise Federal revenues by any
other process than customs taxation,
has nut, out as a document strong
opinion BY John S. Wise, Of Virginia,
on the corporation tax measure, IN
which Mr.. Wise commits himself to the
deliberate conclusion that it is uncon-
stitutional. He protests that 1t is IN
cNccss of the Governments powers
over corporations created by the
States. and invades, in the most dan
cerous fashion. the powers of the
states. He believes the measure dis
eliminates. and is not uniform in its
application, all in violation Of the
Constitution.
~ The difficulty which has developed IN
preparing regulations for the collection
o. the tax is only an incidental feature,
but It suggests the complications which
arc likely TO arise with the measure.
II ia very plain, now, that the new
act is going to be taken into the courts
very early, and that it will be tested
in the highest tribunal just as soon as
case raising the various questions can
be expedited to that court. So that
there appears to be no Disgusting the
fact that after all lawsuit, and prob
ably an interesting series of them, has
been invoked. When the legislation
was pending, there was plenty OF warn
ing Of the difficulties likely to beset
IT,, administration. Nothing is thus
far threatened which was not fore
cast. Whether the new law shall
stand or fall in the final test, 1T will
probably require so much time for the
courts to pass on it that there will be
small chance for the income tax pro-
posal to be pushed forward to an en-
harrsssing position during the life OF
the present Administration.
