No More Unit Rule.

One effect of Nebraska's new law for
election of national convention dele
gates by direct vote that has escaped
attention is its notification of the unit
rule, that time-honored feature of the
organic law of the democratic party.
Under the unit rule it is the privi-
lege of the democrats in any state to
decree through their state convention
that the vote of the delegation in ma
tional convention shall be cast as a
unit, and as a majority of the dele
gates decide. The democratic delega-
tions from Nebraska have almost in
variably been under unit rule instruc-
lions and have been voted solid on all
questions, whether pertaining to or
ganization, to the seating of contested
delegations, to the platform or to the
nominees. With the delegates elected
by direct vote, each responsible only
to his own constituency and under no
instructions whatever except the pref
erential vote on president and vice
voking or enforcing the unit rule, and
the vote of the delegation will go solid
or split according to the individual
poll, and not as the majority dictates.
We do not wish to be understood as
intimating that this will not be a good
thing, because it will merely be max
ing the democratic procedure conform
to that of the republican national con-
vention, which has never recognized
the unit rule. The justification of the
unit rule by the democrats has been
that 1t is a necessary complement of
the requirement of two-thirds to nomi-
nate. If it becomes the general prac-
tice the direct election Of national con-
vention delegates will certainly put an
end to the unit rule, and may carry
down the two-thirds vote to nominate
along with it.

Fire Waste and It's Remedy.

This country must do something
more than 1t has done to prevent un-
necessary waste and loss in fires. The
nation has the problem of the forest
fires on it's hands and the cities have
the less difficult task of diminishing
the loss from building fires. Neglect
and inadequate provision cut big
figure in both cases, but in the case of
the city neglect is probably the vital
element. An immense amount of the
waste and loss through fires in cities
is due directly to the infammable
character of structures erected. This
the city could prevent by enacting
laws or ordinances calling for fire.
proof material in every structure
erected within the business districts
and enforcing the laws. And not I'M
til they do this are they going to solve
this distressing problem.
OF course, that alone will not COM
pletely do away with fires. No one
supposes that it will, but 1t will be a
long step in that direction and make
the others easier to take. For cities
TO permit firetrap buildings to go up
in congested centers of business is
little less than criminal in itself.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
Just called attention to this fault on
the part of municipalities in a speech
before the National Fire Protective
association. He has done a good
service, though no more than others
have been doing for long time. Fires
are not going to stop themselves The
remedy lies within reach, partially at
least, OF every municipality, and the
municipality that fails to apply it
must expect to pay the penalty. Our
American cities are far behind those
of Europe. particularly Germany, in
dealing with this problem.

A Technicality.

The Water boards SS,25O,0OO water
bond proposition does not say any
thing about the authority voted in
1900 to issue 100000 of water
bonds and the authority voted in 1909
to issue $6,5OO,OOO of water bonds.
The presumption is that these other
bonds, authorized but not issued, are
to be annulled by voting the present
bond proposition, but it is not so stip-
ulated. OF course. the assurance of
the Water board that they will not
resurrect the old bonds should set all
fears at rest, but then water boards
sometimes change, and even Water
board members sometimes change
their minds. The voting of the
$S,25o, 900 bond issue ought definitely
to rescind the authority to issue the
100000 water bonds voted in 1900
and the $6.5OO.OOO water bonds voted
in 1909.

Widening the Arbitration Movement

Japan's reported desire to join the
United States. Great Britain and
France in the, arbitration treaty d.
reefs public attention at once to the
alliance existing between England
and this oriental kingdom with q most
reassuring and comforting suggestion.
If japan makes formal application
to unite under the terms of this agree
ment it must tend to discount all the
foolish gossip spent at the expense of
the United States with reference to
the British-Japanese alliance. 1t was
never to have been supposed that any
alien people could come between the
two great English-speaking nations
in any sphere of action for their mu-
tual advantage. ,
Recent events indicate real and I'M
expectedly rapid progress in this
movement of international peace
through arbitration. 1t seems that
what was wanted was for some nation
to take the lead as boldly as the
United States has done. And If these
powers Join with us in this agreement
what is to prevent broadening the
treaty in general? Since the United
States has caused the modification to
be made in the draft which removes
from the list of arbitrable issues,
questions involving national honor
and integrity, the benefits may be ex-
pected to appeal more strongly to
many countries that would otherwise
hesitate to entertain a suggestion of
arbitration and once set In motion
the arbitration machinery would work
out its own destiny.

RentabIe Houses for wage workers.
COUNCIL BLUFFS Ia. May 23.-To the
Editor Of The Bee. In all of our boosting

son that we cannot find homes within our

KING Cancns In the Saddle.

Down at Washington King eau
Gus" is in the saddle more securely
with the democratic majority in the
house and the democratic minority in
the senate than ever before. The iron
hand of the caucus is heavier on the
shoulder OF the democratic congress-
man at the present time than it was
ever on a republican congressman in
the palmiest days of car rule.
In the organization of the house a
score of republicans refused to vote
for the caucus nominee for speaker,
but not a single democrat failed to
record himself for the nominee of the
democratic caucus. The same is true
with reference to the legislative pro-
gram that is being followed. 1t en-
braces only such subjects as are agreed
upon in caucus, and no member, dem
ocrat or republican. can get any at
tention whatever for any bill without
the caucus stamp. To make sure that
there will be no deviation from the
plans and specifications laid down by
king Caucus" calendar day, re-
garded as one of the principal fruits
of the revolt against Cannonism in the
last congress, when any member is
supposed to be free to call up any bill,
has been practically abolished by ad-
journment each week over that day in
order to prevent the privilege from
being exercised.
king Caucus" is apparently doing
an almost equally thriving business
on the democratic side in the senate.
Democratic solidarity has been thus
brought about on the question of re-
opening the Lorimer case, on the d.
rect election of senators, on the choice
of the president of the senate, and on
other questions, showing the complete
subversion of individual freedom of
action.
While, then, the democrats have
been encouraging insurgency and d.
vision among the republicans, they
have been scrupulously maintaining
discipline and obedience within their
own ranks. 1t remains to be seen,
however, whether king Caucus"
can make himself more popular as a
democrat than he has been under
other party labels.

And-democratic gossip from Washington

eral tax on corporation net incomes so as
to make II bear heavily on the big corpor-
ations and operate to break them up. This
would be about as foolish a policy as any

Of capital in large masses where 1t may
often find its greatest efficiency. And IL
would have practically no effect toward
the ulster distribution OF the tax burden
which is the great merit OF an individual
income tax. The taxes loaded upon the
corporations either fall upon the people
in the last analysis, or they fall upon small
stockholders as well as upon rich stock
holders without more regard to ability
to bear the burden than Is observed by
any proportional tax. II Is pretty nearly
