LAND ron ran rI,r,,,,r.

Tho purchase OF tho old Clyde Line
wharf ordered by the Council Commit
tce on River and Hnrbor contains u
valuable lesson in city building. The
property has a rivcr frontage OF sos
tect. ana In the future will make an
excellent extension OF the city wharf
facilities At least, this is tho opinion
OF the committee.
Opposition TO tho purchase of this
land developed on the ground that tho
present city wator terminals were am
Pic 10 take caro- OF the water borne
traffic for years to come The chair
man OF tho committee admitted that
there was no pressing need. but urged
that 1t was wisdom to acquire the
land cheap now and hold 1t for tho
time when 1t would provo an essential
OF our harbor development.
The whole question OF city growth Is
here in nutshell Shall we always
wait until tho land we need for inn
provemcnts has become so valuable
that the price Is almost prohibitive?
Shall we never take tho long view OF
tho matter and let tho city get the
'''N'SA lIcHl us own CROWN
When affairs show that the city must
nave moro land for any purpose. 1t is
the inevitable tendency OF this demand
to create higher price than any paid
before In short, tho city provides the
growth whereby the land becomes of
value. and then must pay n penalty for
having so enhanced It,
1t is short-sighted and uncourare
Gus proceeding TO wait until we have
arrived at point before we start pre-
pairing for it's demands. The present
wharNes and docks are ample and more
than ample, for what shipping wo re-
ceive now: but Is that an argument for
sitting idle until they are crowded and
cramped7 If the land belonged to the
city some profitable use might be
round for 1t during the waiting pc
Rod If we did nothing else We might
put n recreation pier on the river front
1t Is tine we had n big faith In
Richmond's future. The right policy
is TO buy tho land and then bestir our
selves TO develop tho use of 1t. Tho
theory OF building Richmond, whether
1t be in whnrves or residence districts

ACHIEVEMENT AND A PROMISE.

The simple words OF pride for him
self and for his party with which
Woodrow Wilson marked tho signing
OF the nrs' Democratic tariff bill In
twenty years express tho sentiments OF
Virginia and Nirginians. The Demo
cratic party was returned to power on
the pledge OF II revision Of tariff duties
downward. 1t has fulfilled the pledge.
and 1t believes that IN so doing 1t has
worked a fundamental change for bet
ter economic and Industrial conditions
in the nation. 1t has done. In fact, tho
rank and file Of tho people of this
country great service Tho new
tariff measure is both an achievement
and n promise.
What tho practical workings OF the
now bill will reveal Is not absolutely
certain. 1t Is not humanity possible
that II is perfect Thcre will surely
remedy. Yet II is very clear that tho
measure as whole has been framed
with that solicitous care for the vital
business interests OF this country that
must result In a stimulated industrial
life. There Will be no panic on ac-
count OF the tariff law 1t is not the
measure OF dcmagogues nor parasites.
1t represents tho concentrated intelli-
Eence OF tho American people directed
at right solution OF u great economic
question.
This IS the sentiment reflected in
the Presidents words With him. the
tariff is not bundle of isolated regu-
lations for various conflicting inter
osts. Iio does not emphasizes the hope
OF lower cost OF living. lie does en-
plastic the fact that the business of
the country has been set FREQ The
conditions OF monopoly have been re-
moved. Tho special privileges that
havo worked injustice have been abol-
ished
Coupled with this elemental idea OF
the tariff legislation as step toward
freedom, is the idea OF advancing fur
Their on the road 10 freedom by other
legislation Tho economic troubles of
the United States are not due to the
evils Of high tariff. The control of
credits is by the President deemed the
source OF Il power to create monopo-
Hes. He regards the tariff as an
achievement which must be completed
by currency legislation.
The keynote OF the Presidents faith
is in progressive Legislation There
Is no need to stop. His attitude is
