works in the District of Columbia by

with an equitable principle. is emphasized
BY the conference report on the District
appropriation bill. now ready for discus

the bill as IL energies from conference is
a poor measure. proposing practically no
permanent public improvements, cutting
and trimming in all the branches of the
District government, making adequate
provision in almost no instances, leaving
many large and important items await

Justly large refund to the United States
of District tax money on the floating in

present figures, to about ss9O.0OO. 1t is in
most respects the least satisfactory ap-
preparation bill that Congress has given
the District in years.
The current law carries provision re-
curing the Commissioners to confne their
estimates to the expected revenues OF the
District The Commissioners. In framing

their budget, went upon the reasonable
theory that this Limitation conveyed an
assurance that Congress would appropriate
to the full amount of their allotments.
while perhaps readjusting the funds in
the distribution among different objects.
In order to meet the supposed wishes OF
Congress the Commissioners went so far
as to provide for an annual refund on the
floating debt account of 100000. taking
the precaution to deduct this amount from
the expected revenues before proceeding
to estimate for the current needs. They
also deducted the amounts prospectively
carried in other bills. chargeable to the
District revenues. and the interest on the
Districts debt. Thus their estimates were
representative OF the actual needs, re-
duced to the lowest point consistent with
good administration. and. as a result of
the legal limitation, in some cases low

bone in order to squeeze them into the
prescribed limits. and Inadequate as they
were in the minds of District citizens to
provide properly for the upkeep Of the
1850 than the current appropriation. an
obvious absurdity in view of the increase
in the local population and the taxation.
Thus, despite the increase in the local
needs and the local ability to provide for
them. Congress is unwilling to enact an
appropriation bill carrying even as much
money as that Of last year.
1t is impossible to avoid the conclusion
bof hao ho
to reduce the allotments of local tax
money for current maintenance to the
lowest possible point consistent with the
continued existence of definite munic-
ipal organization. in order to increase
to the maximum the Districts refund to
the federal Treasury on account of money
advanced to carry on large permanent
works for the benefit chiefly of posterity.
This is the most burdensome form of
the cash payment method of increasing
the Districts permanent equipment. 1t
bears most heavily upon the taxpayers
of today, giving them the least return
for their contributions to the upkeep OF
the District government, in terms of
schools. police and fire protection. health
safeguards and all the features of mod
ern city life. Unless Congress contem-
plates adding to appropriation bills not
yet finally passed large items of perma-
nent improvement partly chargeable to
the District revenues it's treatment of
the District at this session will stand as
most convincing argument for the
prompt enactment of law which ad-
justs the Districts finances upon bust
nessike basis and makes adequate pro-
vision for the engagements and improve
ments necessary in the development of
capital worthy of the American people

Mobs and Music,

From the New York World.
A New York crowd trampied shrub berry
and broke windows Sunday at the Nor

music program made up from works
of Wagner, Dvorak. Grieg and Tschai.
kowsky. 1t was a crowd not consciously
disOrderly. but only eager. The occasion
was the first of series of free concerts
of high-class music. There was a spe
cial orchestra OF fifty pieces to perform
the selected numbers. To any who are
able and willing to improve 1t this Incl
dent presents an opportunity. People
were in the crowd at the college who
had come from the extremes OF the
consolidated city. Yet Director Flick
was able to say truly: I'VE have free
parks. free libraries, free lectures, free
hospitals and free schools. but no free
music. except band concerts" And these
band performances. he might have added,
only In summer. Suppose free concert
halls of the first class were as many In
New York as are the Carnegie Libraries,
Or suppose a great orchestra were so
specially endowed that 1t could play In
free concerts for the people at frequent
intervals in the Madison Square Garden
or some similar great auditorium. Is
there room for doubt that beneficent en-
terprise on such lines would bring imme.

Fairgrounds and the Organic Act.

Washington believes thoroughly in pub

made annually for the increase and main
tenance of the public Fairgrounds from
the public funds without hesitation.
An extraordinary situation is now pre-
scented In the House of Representatives.
where the conference report on the Dis
trict appropriation bill is about to be
formally considered. As the bill first
passed the House il carried an item OF
$4,000 for the maintenance, equipment

wholly from the revenues of the DIS
trict The Senate, recognizing the gross
Injustice of thus placing the entire bur-
den of playground maintenance upon the
Local taxpayers, in direct contravention

and half provision at a slightly Increased
figure The Senate conferees very prop
erIv would not assent to the proposed
yiolat ton of the organic act, the House
conferees would not make the appropri-

item vas stricken out altogether.
The neopIe of Washington want the
Fairgrounds maintained. but they are
not willing to have them at the price or
violation of the partnership between the
United States and the District of Column
hia whereby the former has assumed
one-half of the burden of capital main
tenance. There is no more reason to lay
the whole cost of the Fairgrounds upon
the District than to charge the whole
expense of the schools. the police and fire
departments and all the other branches
of the municipality upon the local tax
payers IT is impossible to agree to the
principle involved in the House item with

Mr.. Taft and the Tariff.

Some months ago an Indianian of the
name of Foulke. who had supported Mr..
Taft for President. wrote him in a tone
of criticism of the administration, es-
pecially as regards the tariff question.
The President replied, In terms. it was
said, of pith and point. But the corre-
spondence was not published All known
about it Is of a general character.
1t is now stated that a Mr.. Swift, an
other Indianian who voted the repub-
lican ticket in 1908, has In a letter to
the President entered a protest against
the new tariff law. and taken a fling at
Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Cannon. Mr.. Taft
has replied to him pointedly, but the let
tiers are withheld.
While the full text of the letters in
both of these cases would be interesting
what circulates without contradiction
about them Is sufficient to afford a good
text for comment. And one may ask the
question. Did Mr.. Foulke and Mr. Swift
expect Mr.. Taft to join in the insurgent
animadversions on Mr.. Aldrich and Mr..
Cannon? After consulting with them
about tariff revision, and cooperating
with them in bringing it about, was he
to be expected to acquiesce in, or even
and their work?
Both the President and his party in
Congress confronted a most difficult stu
alton last spring. After the preliminary
maneuvering and parleyings. they stood
at solloquy and asked themselves: To
revise, or not to revise? That was the
question. The business world was all
impatience and anxiety for action Delay
was expensive. tariff bill-some bill
was absolutely necessary. Adjournment
of the extra session without bill would
not only be a confession of incompetency
on the part OF the republicans, but q
blow to the business world. The period
of uncertainty would be prolonged, and
all values injuriously affected.
In the very nature of things the meas
ure must be of a compromise character.
Nobody could reasonably hope to be en-
tirely satisfied. On certain points The
Star Is In hearty sympathy with down
ward revisionists who are profoundly
dissatisfied. A compromise. as we all

The country will pass upon the measure
in November. But does any frank and
open man expect the President meanwhile
to cut and run. or begin to shilly-shally
about his part of the performance?

Home Gardens.

A lecture was delivered last night at the
Public Library on the subject Of plant
ing home gardens" which conveys a mes
sage to the people of Washington. Mr..
Hemenway in telling about what has been
accomplished by the people of Northamp-
ton. Mass. gave the residents of the Dis
trict a striking object lesson in their own
opportunities and civic duty. The Massa-
chusetts town contains large numbers Of
people of small incomes. hard workers Of
the class usually content to live in the
most unlovely surroundings without
thought for beauty or even sanitation.
As result of organized efforts on the
part Of the citizens Northampton has
been transformed into a garden. with
hundreds of homes surrounded by flowers
and turf and shrubs and with corre-
spending increase not merely in the imam
cial value of the properties but in the
health of the people.
washington's field for garden work is
only partly cultivated. To a certain ex-
tent the people of the capital have real
lied their opportunities and their duty to
themselves in this respect and have under
taken gardening but much yet remains to
be done in this direction. The school gar
dens have stimulated home interest in
this line of improvement and many back
ward and front yard have bloomed In con-
sequence OF the activities of the children.
Owing to the manner in which the greater
part of the city proper is solidiy built in
rows. most of the garden work must be
carried on in back yards, screened from
public view. Year by year the feeling
grows that these rear spaces are in a GER
tain sense common property. One un-
slightly yard will offend the view from
perhaps twenty-five or thirty other dwell
ings What Washington chiefly needs to-
day is a keener realization OF the obliga-
ton of each householder to make his
property attractive in the eyes of his
neiShbors as well as himself.
II the cooperative spirit Of home garden
making is carried out in works Washing
ton will soon become city of rare at
ractiveness, each square becoming a
court. with unsightly board fences re-
moved and replaced by low hedges or
uncovered wire barriers. the yard
spaces filled with flowers or covered with
turf. the whole making a picture of love-
illness.
