Commerce and Labor Quarters.

Secretary Nagel's statement in his an
nual report that the proposed new build
ing for his department will not accom-
modate adequately all the bureaus. ii
placed upon the site provided for it in the
tve-square plot already condemned at the
western end Of the AIall-Avenue triangle,
brings sharply before Congress the
fact that its provisions for the neces-
sary government equipment are not suf-
fcienly comprehensive. and do not take
the branches of the administration. II
the three buildings designated for the
flve-square area, for the departments of
State, Justice and Commerce and Labor,
are crowded into that space there will be
no room for the expansion or development
Of any of them. 1t has been proposed to
carry one of them over upon the Mall, a
suggestion that has fortunately not yet
been approved, and it is to be hoped that
Congress will definitely reject it in favor
of adherence to the policy of preventing
further encroachments upon that space,
and keeping the public constructions
within the bounds Of the Mall-Avenue
triangle.
In view OF Secretary Nagers suggestion
that ground be acquired adjacent to the
site chosen for the main building for his
department, for the erection of appur-
tenant buildings. it may be that the most
satisfactory solution Of the whole situa-
ton will be found in giving up the Ave-
square space to the Departments of
State and Justice, and the acquisition
somewhere east Of those buildings, within
the Mall-.Avenue triangle. of a site suf-
ficient to accommodate the Department
Of Commerce and Labor, either in a
single building or q series Of closely asso-
ciated structures, each especially de-
signed for its particular use. This might
involve a slight delay, but if Congress
will move Immediately the Commerce and
Labor quarters will be ready almost as
soon as those which are presumably
about TO be started for the departments
Of State and Justice. The question Of the
use Of the five-square site must neces-
sarily come up at this session. either to
supply additional ground for the State
Department within the triangle or on the
Mall. It having been clearly shown that
II would be unwise to crowd all three
structures upon the fiye-square site.

High Car Steps Mean Delay.

The street car companies are just as
anxious as the public for the rapid move
ment of the traffic. Delays are not only
but costly to the corporations.
and everything possible Is done to cut
them down to keep the cars going on
schedule. In this interest 1t is urged that
the cars be so built that the passengers
can be taken on and put off with the least
trouble and in the shortest time. The
high steps now in use on many Of the cars
are conducive to delays. With steps half
as high from the pavement as at present.
the stopping time could be cut down per-
haps 80 per cent. 1t only needs brief OBJ
servaion at any regular car stop to note
the bed effect Of the high step upon the
schedule. Especially in winter time, when
people are numbered with heavy wraps,
and often carry umbrellas. the process of
getting on and of a high-stepped car is
awkward and takes time. In the case of
women the high step is particularly diff
ficuit and even dangerous. II the steps
were 50 built through tho surrender Of
moro platform space to them, that the
average ''Dassc1ss2 could mount them

The respective attitudes Of Mr.. Taft
and Mr. Roosevelt on the subject of war
are the natural expression Of the two
mems habits of thought. Mr.. Taft has
been reader OF books rather than
writer Of them. a man given to a con-
temptation of great thoughts rather than
one eager to shy his castor into the hter-
airy ring. Although he is commander-in-
chief of the army, he has never set
squadron in the field. His instructive
tendency would be to bring persuasion
and an appeal to reason. into play in
terminating an alteration. Having never
been an army man himself, he has diff
ficulty in sympathizing with the feelings
of a man who seems to the coionelcy
born.

Two Measures Of Economy.

There should be no clash between tho
District and appropriations committces
Of the House over the items which au-
thoFize the establishment of garbage
reduction plant by the District and the
investigation of the best means of utiliz-
ing the Great Falls water power for mu-
nicipal purposes. Both of these arc most
commendable projects and should be put
IN hand through legislation enacted at
this session, whether 1t originates in sep
aratc measures considered by the District
committee or is carried by the appropri-
atoms bill itself. In other words, there
should be no conflict over the question
of jurisdiction between the committees.
1t is, Of course, desirable that there
should be an originating enactment in
each case, If possible, to avoid the chance
Of points of order in case the garbage and
Great Falls items are included in the
appropriations bill. But there is little
opportunity for new legislation preceding
tho enactment Of the appropriation bill
ut any session, and apparently none
whatever now. This signifies that practi.
cally the only chance to get these items
enacted this year is to have them carried
through the appropriation bill. as many
OF the important projects Of local i'm
provcment have been started during re-
cent years. 1t is In the interest of ccon-
omy to move promptly toward the estab-
lishment Of a municipal garbage plant,
which will almost certainly result in Il
material saving In the cost of refuse
disposal. 1t would afford occupation for
the Districts wards at Occoquan and
serve an excellent end in making that a
self-sustaining institution. The utiiza-
ton of the Great Falls power has been
already neglected too many years, and
untold value has been wasted by the
failure to harness the river to the service
at least of the District government Every
session that passes without a practical
beginning in this work is an extrava-
gance.

without having to clutch the handles on
the sides. it would be possible to save
probably several minutes in each average
run of an urban car. Both passengers
and the company would get the benefit Of
this increased speed, and the necessity of
adding to the equipment in order to accom-
modate the traffic would be somewhat less
ened This is. a consideration well worth
the attention Of the car companies in con-
nection with the appeal of the Washing
ton women who are now moving to get
the street cars built for safety and COM
fort.
