The Peoples City Menaced.

Washington Correspondence Boston Transcript
The people of the United States will be
false to their own ideals if they should
permit such wreckage of their Capital city
as the democratic Congress has planned
The District has no voice in Congress and
only through senators and representatives
from the various states can she be protect
ed from such outrages as are now being
attempted. 1t is too much, no doubt to
expect Congress to give the affairs of the
District the intelligent study and consid-
GRAFTON which the government of a mod
ern city demands, but Congress at least
can avoid going out of its way to ruin
Washington. If the government were
treated as any other great taxpayer, the
tax rate of Washington would be about
300 thousand, or more than real estate
could bear.
Until johnson and Crisp came on the
scene 1t always had been the pride not
only OF Washington. but Of the whole
country; that this was the peoples city.
where they We're free to come and enjoy
themselves and have the time OF their
lives, but If the democratic program here
described should be carried out the tax
payers of Washington would be warranted
In fencing off the whole city and allowing
access of outsiders only to government
buildings where they could prove they
had business.
Washington either is the peoples CITY
or il is not. The people want il well
governed and made the most beautiful
capital I'm the world or they do not. II
is for them to say.

try in that behalf? AS the bull moose
intention is to put candidates in the field
for seats in the next House, and the tariff
will figure largely in the campaigns,
something definite on the tariff should be
promulgated.
Mr. Roosevelt at the outset of his po-
ltical career was thought to be indoc-
trinated with free trade. But when he
got into his stride he declared for pro-
lection and so far as known. is now a
protectionist He was elected Vice Presi-
dent and then President on party de-
liverance which included protection.
In the White House he sidestepped the
tariff. He permitted the issue of revision
which Mr.. Mckinley had raised 10 drift
and in doing so sowed the seeds of the
confusion which appeared when Congress
in 1909 under Mr.. Taft undertook revi-
sion. More than any other one man.
Mr.. Roosevelt had contributed to the
difficulties which confronted his party i'm
mediately after his retirement from the
presidency. Had he pressed for revision
promptly. as he had promised to do. but
little difficulty would have been encoun-
tered.
Seven years of delay. however. multi
piled embarrassments, until they over
whelmed the party in its belated work
Now as next years bull moose cam
paigns will be in Mr.. Roosevelt's inter-
ests. and the tariff cannot be lodged.
what will be said about 1t in bull moose
platforms and by bull moose candidates
for Congress? AS the bull moosers con-
denim both the Payne law and the In
derwood law. what sort of law would
they with the power put on the books?
What is their plan for reducing the high
cost of living by reducing the tariff?
