Wins In CONGRESS
100000 Yearly to Be Spent
on Capitol Park Extension.
TAKE CHEAPEST LAND FIRST
Compromise Agreement Reached on
Disputed Senate Provision in sum
dry Civil BIII-win Require six or
Seven Years for the Acquisition OF
the Entire Tract of Land.

All that property lying between Union
Station and the Capitol grounds VIII be
converted into a park, TO be a part OF
the Capitol grounds.
After a long wrangle on the sundry
civil appropriation bill in conference, the
ocnferess yesterday reached a compro-
misc agreement on the amendment OF
Senator Wetmore. appropriating 100000
for the purchase Of the necessary squares
and parcels OF land between the depot
and the Capitol.
Instead Of making straight-out ap-
preparation OF the entire amount required
for the purchase OF all this property. the
eonferees agreed upon a provision au-
thorizing the purchase Of the land In
yearly installments. $4,000 to be devoted
to the purpose each year.
It is estimated that at this rate, unless
at some later date Congress should de-
eide to make provision for the purchase
of the land in an entirety, It win require
about six or seven years for the acquisi-
ton of all the property.
The conference agreement leaves intact
the plan for an avenue on the axis of the
Peace Monument, 20 extend from Penn
sylvania avenue and First street north
west to Union Station, at the width
OF Pennsylvania avenue, to afford d.
rect approach 10 the station from that
point.
II is provided that IN making the an
nuaI purchases Of land for the park land
offered at the lowest rates shall be first
purchased by the government. This, il
IS thought, viii have a tendency TO pre-
vent a boosting OF land values in the

Ida II. Tarbell Sees in 1t

Ida NJ. Tarbell. the well-known writer
and exposer of predatory wealth." the
terror Of Standard Oil and other agencies
Of centralized wealth. the author of
The Life Of Abraham Lincoln" and
other prominent works. is at the Shore
ham. for q short visit In Washington.
Miss TaTbell is here in the interest of a
publication with which she is connected
as eo-editor and contributor. and she is
also looking into political matters some
what
Miss Tarbell takes deep interest in
politics and keeps we'll posted on matters
transpiring at the National Capital and
ar the White House, in particular, and
she has decided Views on all matters
pertaining to the public veal
Can Do More as Plain Citizen.
What do you think of Col Roosevelt.
Miss Tarbell?" asked a representative Of
The Washington Herald. What is he
going to do next, or what is tho country
going 10 do with him?"
Il believe that Col. Roosevelt. no mat
ter whether he occupies a public Office or
not, will be one OF the strongest factors
in the settlement OF questions concerning
the interests OF the public" said Miss
Tarbell. Il am not prepared TO say
whether the people should send him 10
the White House again.
Somehow 1 don't believe he can do as
much for his country as President as he
can as free man. the agent OF no par
IiCular party. He is a man or whom the
American people may well feel proud.
He is honest. thoroughgoing and patri-
otto. He is like big boy, strong and
full of ideas and plans to benefit his
country.
7 hope that Col. Roosevelt has arrived
al that stage OF mental development
where he regards the tariff not merely
from a political point Of view, but from
q standpoint of ethics, humanity, and
morality
The tariff question should not be a
matter Of barter, Of political bargaining;
IL should be treated as a question where
the welfare OF millions Of our people are
concerned. The tariff bill passed by this
Congress is a total failure. The interests
OF centralized wealth have been looked
after 10 the detriment of the interests OF
the people
col Roosevelt ought to take up the
tariff question and give It a different
significance, a meaning not Of politics,
but OF common humanity"
