BEFORE AND AFTER

Before the passage OF the Inter
state Commerce Bill the predictions
Of widespread disaster, likely to re
suit from its enactment, were liber
ally INDUCED in by very. many sena'
tors Hoar and Aldrich, Plat and
stamford, Brown and Grosvenor and
other WED with each other in
their denunciations OF the measure
In the opinion Of these eminent
statesmen of privilege the measure
was arbitrary, unjust, unreasonable
iiimpracticable ruthlessly demoralizins
destructive to the growth Of cities,
certain to flood the country with
| trouble, wreck railroads, destroy pri.
vate property aand impoverish whole
sections sof the country. These and
manys other similar things were go
ing To- happen, in the Judgment OF
these calamity prophets, it the gov
eminent undertook to regulate the
railroads. Well, the representatives
Of the government went on and pass
ed the bill and none Of these dire re-
suits followed its enactment. On
the contrary the law is of inestimabl,
value to both The railroads and 1.-The
general public. 3Ea Il ~ & !. '.;s
Before the passage Of the new tar
if bill the tariff barons were quite
certain that the proposed measure
would close their factories and ruin
the country: For a long time they,
filled the ears and warped the judg-
ment of very, many with their ca
lamity bowls, but it was not possib'
for them to fool majority Of the
people all Of the time The tariff law
has been rewritten in the Interests
OF the masses, and these prop hets< Of
disaster are going right along the
same as, though no change had been
made. In fact it is becoming quite
common for them to issue state
ments to their customers announcing
that their business is not: going to
be injuriously affected by the new
tariff. AZ At. ~ n
3 And now as the country stands on
the threshold of currency reform leg
islation, the same predictions OF dis.
aster are heard on every side. All a 1
NIT that new currency legislation is
needed but the big banks. like the
big railroads and the big protected
interests are predicting direful cons e
quences If they. are not allowed to
exercise governmental prerogatiyes.
\ The administration does not want
any provision in the new currency
bill that will injure any bank engag-
ed in legitimate banking business. On
the contrary the democratic party is
DESTROYS that no provis-
ion of the new bin shall work a hard
ship upon any one and when complet-,
ed we believe that it will be general
ly satisfactory to everyone.

ton of certain Federal reserve banks
and placing them under the supervi;
4 sion OF a board Of seven men appoint

This, we are told, is the equivalent

This system is under the supervi-
sion mot of seven men but Of one

y one man has commonly been Of the
Presidents party, but the seven men

party. The one man need not be a

what is to be said Of the powers of

ing, seeing. feeling folk who think this
is a very hard world indeed.
To look out for number one" in self
preservation is human nature and not
to be despised or CONDEMNED. But
the TRUTH that Helen Keller wants
to give to the world is at least WORTH
OF thought.
No matter how self sufficient We
think We are, we cannot build a little
fence around ourselves and say. Hands

1t Is against all natural law. The day
comes when the self-suficient. he OF

low creatures.
How much more then, according to
Helen Keller, do those less fortunate
need the strength. help and approval? /?
In the summing Up, is she not the
breathing truth of what she advocates? =?
She has PRACTICED what she is now
PREA CHING. For. without the touch
of the teachers hand and the SYM
pathy that went out to her and the
need that was fulfilled, she would not
now in speech, be soliciting aid in the
great hope of helping humanity, or
which she deems herself part and

CABINET MEMBERS IN CONGRESS.

Representative Montagues resolution for giving
members of the Cabinet seats in the House and Sem
ate, with the privilege of taking part in debates
subjects relating to their departments is likely 10
attract more attention than on previous occasions
when the plan mas been presented.
There have been times when a general atmos-
phere of conservatism would have chilled such
proposal the beginning, but the presext is one
of them. President Taft's suggestion of budget
system, although not adopted, broke the path for
closer cooperation between the fiscal administrators
of the executive departments and the fiscal commit
tees of the House. President Wilson's decision TO
address Congress in person and to be a unit in
shaping legislation we'll arbiter in passing
on it after it is enacted is another sign of the same
kind With such spirit in the air. it will not be
surprising if the resolution presented by the ex-
governor of Virginia is considered on its merits
Thoughtful statesmen at Washington have often
bemoaned the lack of direct touch between the
Cabinet and Congress. A formal exchange of pa
pers which are often unread and lack the vitality
and sincerity developed by the question and answer
method used in the House of Commons, has failed
to bring about understanding or fusion Of thought
and purpose.
Behind the movement for closer relations is the
fact that the problems of the Government are now
largely economic, as contrasted with the political
polemics in the early years. The new order de-
lands business system a step toward practical
efficiency 1t is no longer necessary to assert the
rights of man every time an appropriation bill comes
up Conservatives useful in warning against ex-
cess in period of change, but if any sign in the po-
tcaI skies is clear it is demand that without de-
parting in any marked degree from the ancient ways
the Government shall be administered to fit the real
needs of the nation
The Washington times., 1913-04-12
MR.. BORLAND'S ERROR

Congressman Borland of Missouri, who has been
a good friend of Washington and has been willing
to give some time and study to the problems of this
town, appears to have fallen into slight error about
the disposition of Washington toward its local prob
lens.
Talking to citizens improvement assoca-
ton last evening, Mr. Borland told of various
things that he would not stand for if he were
citizen of Washington For instance, he said:
you are charged dollar for gas in the District.
This means that you are paying at least 20 cents per
1000 manufacture from gas oil, it is pro-
duced today In Kansas City will let gas companies
in manufactured they give for 40 cents
per 1000 feet. They want 30 cents You pay dollar,
and 80 cents II you pay on time.
There no reason in the world why you should not
between street lines Universal transfers would
prove for them money getter."
Mr.. Borland is perfectly right about all that. He
would not stand for" sucn conditions if he were a
citizen here. But will Mr.. Borland be good enough
to tell US what he would do about them if he
citizen? He would have no vote he would be un-
represented in Congress. Even his right of petition
would be little more than joke. How would he
get action" on these matters?
Mr.. Borland has more power to do something
worth while for Washington, in these regards, than
all the people living here. He is member of Con-
gress He can help in the one and only place where
anything can be done to effect ultimate betterment
of these conditions in Washington. If he does help,
he will get mighty little return for it, that must be ad
mtted Washington isn't in position very effectively
to reciprocate About all it can do is to assure its
Congressional friends that it does appreciate their
interest in its behalf, and does hope that who,
like Mr.. Borland, have taken the trouble to discover
what is wrong here, and how wrong it is, will be
sufficiently interested to make their little contribu-
tion to help community that cannot help itself.
If we just had something or somebody to elect
in Washington! Not much difference who or what;
delegate in Congress, even though he might not
have vote there, would be blessing to Washing
ton, because the struggle around his nomination and
election would give lineup, precipitation of pub
lie opinion dividing of the sheep from the goats.
1t would wake up the people to an expression of
civic interest that would be worth more than dozen
Congressman and double battery of Senators.
But we don't elect anything or anybody. We
don't have chance to get acquainted, in our civic
capacities one with another. That's what the people
Of Washington need, and Mr. Borand isn't quite fair
when he apparently blames the community for not
kicking up big row. How's it to kick?
