AGREE TO REPORT
RECIPROCITY BILL
Finance Committee Makes
No Recommendation.

The Senate Committee on Finance yes
terday agreed TO report the Canadian
reciprocity bill to the Senate next Tues
day. The bill will be amended to carry
the Root amendment relating to print
paper and wood pulp. The amendment
of the Senator from New York prevailed
in the committee by a vote of to 6
Senator Johnson, of Maine, Democrat
being absent
The vote on Senator Roots amendment
was as follows:
For the amendment: Senators Lodge
Smoot, Gallinger, Clark, Hepburn, La
Toilette, Bailey, and Simmons-six Re
publicans and two Democrats.
Against the amendment: Penrose, Cul,
lom, McCumber, Stone, Kern, and Will
iams-three Republicans and three Dem
ocrats.
Other amendments offered by Senators
Nelson and Gallinger relating to the du-
ties on farm products were voted down.
A motion, to report the bill favorably
was voted down, to 6, and motion to
report II adversely was defeated by q
tie vote. The bill therefore goes to the
Senate without recommendation. 1t is
the expectation OF friends Of the Can

canvass OF the situation suggests that
there is a large majority against the

doubtedly be voted out Of the bill.

SEEK ADMISSIONS
FROM JUDGE GARY
But Committee Finds Steel
Magnate Stands Firm.

The Stanley investigating committee OF
the House attempted yesterday to drive
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman Of the exec
utive committee of the United States
Steel Corporation, into a corner and COM
pei the admission that the so-called Gary
dinners had resulted practically in an
agreement among steel manufacturers to
maintain prices. The most that the COM
mittee. however, could obtain from Judge
Gary was the acknowledgment that the
exchange of views at these dinners had
been Calculated to influence people to
maintain prices"
Judge Gary in the course Of his testi-
mony added several interesting state
ments TO the views that he had already
expressed In regard to the future OF IN
dustrtal corporations In this country. The
other day he declared that enforced pub
licity and enlarged Federal control, even
70 the extent OF fixing prices, would be
desirable. Yesterday he expanded that
statement, explaining that he had In
mind Federal licensing plan, the license
to be revoked in the event OF corpora
tons violating the law. Judge Gary add
ed, however, that he would give corpora
tons the right OF appeal to the courts.
The chairman Of the steel corporation
startled members Of the committee, also
when he readily indorsed a suggestion
thav a joint committee of Congress he
created to obtain the views Of both cap
ital and labor in regard to the strength
ening and elaboration, or liberalizing, II
necessary, Of the Sherman antitrust law.

Mayor Preston's New idea.

Addressing an audience in New York
few days ago, Mayor Gaynor advo-
Gated larger representation of busi-
ness men in politics. He thought that
if the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives could be composed of ma
jority of business men there would be
distinct advantage in legislative re-
suits. I'VE need" he said, "the good,
hard business sense of the business man
in this country"
In line with this suggestion comes
the announcement that Mayor Preston,
OF Baltimore, has appointed an advisory
council of twenty-one citizens of that
city, all of them well known in COM
mercial life. He has not confined him.
self to representatives of his own party,
but has included leading Republicans
and independents. He proposes to avail
himself of the advice of these men in
his conduct of city affairs, his aim be-
ing to give the city a clear-cut business
administration.
Mr.. Preston's action viii certainly
commend itself to the people of Balti-
more, and might well be followed by
the executives of other cities. It is
a practical evidence of desire to sub
ordinate politics and to achieve the best
results for the municipality. The head
OF any city government loses nothing
BY keeping in intimate touch with the
men who are largely identified with the
city's affairs and whose long experience
ard ability render them wise counselors.
In fact, Baltimore is fortunate in having
public-spirited men who are willing to
give their time without compensation,
just as the city is also to be felicitated
upon having mayor who has sense
enough to know that his efforts to Sc
cure good government viii be materially
aided by efficient assistance and advice.

republics and develop plantations rail-
roads, and mines.
Arbitration treaties unquestiona5Iy
mark an advance in the worlds ciyiliza-
ton but, after all, they are delusive
and unsubstantial. II is really more i'm
portant to secure conventions such as
Secretary Knox has negotiated, because
these deal directly with material and
practical affairs. They will result in an
era of peace in Central America, because
no revolutionists viii undertake to over
turn governments and seize CUSTOM
houses when the United States has the
authority to restore and maintain peace.
They viii also serve as a warning to
foreign nations that we are fully pre-
pared on this side of the Atlantic to
finance our sister republics of the south
without foreign aid.
In brief, we propose to invite Ameri-
cans to invest in Honduras and Mica
ragua, and, then, we also propose to
see that their capital is protected. This
IS dollar diplomacy, sometimes criti-
cised because it is too utilitarian, and
more frequently satirized because it is
not understood. To US it seems logical,
wise, and capable of great results.

Roosevelt and Taft.

1t makes comparatively little differ
ence whether Col. Roosevelt has or has
not declared whom he will support next
year. He will undoubtedly be loyal to
the nominee of his party, and that means
that he will be called upon to support
Mr.. Taft.
There does not seem to be the slight
est question at this time as to the &C
ton of the next Republican convention.
The party could not afford to reject
Mr.. Taft unless he shall prove an alb
solutely incapable and inefficient Presi-
dent, whereas, on the contrary, he has
given the country clean and satisfac-
tory administration 1t is true that some
of the leaders of his party disagree
with him upon the question of reci-
procity, but these men themselves are
in minority, and their opposition is
of more advantage than injury to the
President Up to the present time, no
one in the Republican party has ap-
pcared as rival for the nomination,
and with the convention only a year
distant, it is too late for any effective
organization to be undertaken.
And Col Roosevelt will have no rea-
son to be Indifferent, much less an
tagonistic, toward President Taft.
While the latter has not been spectac-
ular, he has been efficient, and if he
has exercised his judicial temperament
instead of acting under impulse, the
country has been the gamer thereby.
Mr.. Taft has, in fact, carried out, in
way which commends itself to the
good judgment Of the entire people, the
work which Mr.. Roosevelt inaugurated.

PLEADS FOR BETTER
CITY ACCOUNTING
Representative Sherley Ad'
dresses COmptrollers.

The Sixth Annual Convention Of the Ma
tional Association OF Comptrollers and
Accounting Officers was opened in the
Arlington Hotel yesterday.
With important addresses by Represent
ative Sherley, of Kentucky. and DIR. LIE
Grand Powers, chief statistician OF the
Census Bureau, the convention swung
easily into the round of its scientific dis
cussions. Representative Sherley pleaded
for a modern system of municipal and
governmental budget-making, a system
which would enable the plain citizen" to
gain some tangible idea as to just what
the expenses of the government are in
comparison with those OF other govern
ments.
DR.. Powers emphasized the Importance
of presenting the right figures regarding
all governmental affairs lucidly and forci-
bly,.
John NJ. Walton, comptroller OF Philadel-
phia, discussed the financial history of
American municipalities. He declared
that general prosperity among the cities
had superinduced an epidemic of pub
lie improvements which had strained
their resources. He said that in the last
half century the increase in population
IN the United States had been 70 per
cent, while the debt of the largest cities
had increased 30 per cent.
Herman A. Metz, former comptroller Of
the city Of New York, laid a proposition
before the association to provide a fund
OF $4,000 year for three years ito make
available to American municipalities the
best principles and practice worked out
in municipal accounting and reporting" I"
No action has yet been taken upon It,
II. B. F. Mcfarland. Alonzo Tweedale

The Public Utilities Bill.

The measure which Senator Gallingei
has introduced in the Senate, conferring
upon the District Commissioners the
powers of public utility commission, is
not only carefully prepared, so as to
meet all emergencies, but it is also
most considerate regarding the corpora
tons which it will affect. 1t provides,
, for instance, that every public utility
doing business in the District of Co
Iumbia shall furnish reasonably" ade-
quate service and facilities. This places
within the text of the proposed statute
the very word which the Supreme Court
of the United States interpolated into
the antitrust law, and gives the corpora
tons every opportunity to prove that
they are affording service against which
there should be no well-founded COM
paint
At the same time, the general provi-
sions of the bill are so broad that both
the public and the corporations ought
to profit by its enactment. 1t guards
against unjust and discriminating
charges; it requires the Commissioners
to investigate and report upon any meas
ure which may be submitted to Con-
gress affecting public utilities; it allows
a thorough examination into the phys
ical valuation of the properties, and it
provides for full publicity of the opera
tons of each corporation. 1t protects
the latter against individual complaint
by providing that one mercantile, man
ufacturing, or labor organization, or at
least twenty-five persons, must make
complaint before the commission shall
give consideration to the matter. 1t also
provides that corporations shall not be
burdened by more than their fair share
of taxation.
Thus it will be seen that the measure
is drafted in judicial spirit. All the
machinery of the law is invoked to give
the commission ample power, while at
the same time the right of appeal to
the courts up to the Supreme Court
of the United States is fully granted.
When the bill comes before the Senate
committee for discussion some of TIE.
details may be amended, and it also
may be that in its further progress
through Congress various improvements
will be suggested. The basis of an
excellent law has, however, been laid,
and its enactment will be a public
benefit.

PLACE TO PLAY
In MT. PLEASANT
Quick Response 10 Syndicate
Purchase Plan.

There has been quick response to ths
proposition to form a syndicate to pur-
chase the property at the northwest cor
ner Of Fourteenth street and Columbia
road and preserve 1t In its present form
as public playground and park instead
OF allowing 1t to be sold to builder for
the purpose of constructing an apartment
house and row of stores.
1t was announced last night that five
prominent business men had subscribed
to the syndicate, E. P. Mertz, Joseph
Crawford, James Sharp, Joseph Strasbur-
ger, and A. c. Moses. Several other men
are expected to join these men to-day.
Moved by the necessity of quick sction
they have promptly responded to the call
to save the Mount Pleasant Playground.
1t Is hoped that within the next few days
sufficient number will have signified
their willingness to invest small amounts
in the Columbia road lot to make GER
tain its preservation as a public play
ground for the children Of Mount Pleas
ant, and a park for the nurses and
mothers who bring their children to enjoy
the air and the shade Of the grove Of old
oaks, which would be destroyed were it
bought for building purposes.
Fred G. Coldren, one of the directors
of the Washington Playground Associa-
ton, yesterday drew bill for introduce
ton into both Houses of Congress, pro-
viding for the acquisition of the ground
by the United States for the purposes
Of a public playground and park. Mr..
Coldren submitted 1t to Corporation
Counsel Thomas, who approved its
form, and II will be taken to the Senate
and House this morning for introduc-
ton
While 1t is not thought 1t is possible
to have the bill passed at this session,
assurances of sympathy and support,
which have been given at the Capitol
and the District Building, make It seem
fairly certain the bill will become law
long before the trust remaining on the
property shall have matured. 1t Is even
predicted the bill will pass the Senate
at this session.
7 Should the ground be purchased by
Harry wardman, who is known to have
made a high, all-cash offer for 1t, or
any other builder, the only grove of old
shade trees on Mount Pleasant will be
destroyed. II the playground should be
moved, II is pointed out, another lot
might be found. but none where there
Is any protection from the sun, and
none so conveniently situated for a
large population. The section Of Mount
Pleasant, in which the playground is
the midst, is now one Of the most thick
ly settled parts of the city.
