70 the Editor OF THE TINES:

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Few people in the District realize,
believe. the deplorable condition in
which the police and fremen's pension
fund has fallen. Despite the fact that
Washington pays a great deal for its
police force. little money is spent in
pensions for its aged workers or in the
care of widows of officers and men. and
some of whom have been killed or dis
abled In the line Of duty.
The pension fund is made up from the
collection of dog taxes and the fines
from Police Court. There is a big def
cheney in the fund-between $4,000 and
$50. 900. l believe. Widows are receiving
less than their expected pensions. in
many cases working hardshipS.
For years Congress has appropriated
nothing for this fund. and the prospect
now is no brighter than before. / be-
lieve that II is up to the hremen and
the policeman of Washington. and the
people whose lives and property they
protect. to do something to aid these
pensioners. ] would suggest that field
daY be held on Labor Day. such rs is
held In New York. TO place this fund
where 1t ought to be. A police and fire
mems field day would be a big event for
Washington. and serve as an incentive
To the men to keep in good condition. If
IL were made an annual affair. Perhaps
enough money could be raised to lnsti-
tute gymnasiums in the police and fire
stations-much needed. l believe.
Men who are risking life and limb
every day in pursuit of duty for the
good of the District deserve some recog-
milton for their efforts. | am willing
to gather committee to work out
plans for this event. and TO start the
ball rolling. I believe that every citi-
zens' and trade association in the Dis
tr!ct would turn in and help these men
Merchants certainly should be willing to
donate prizes for the various athletic
events.
The citizens of the District cannot eX-
pect any more from Congress than hey
have received in the past-and legisla-
tion concerning our police and fire de
partments which has been passed by
Congress. has had far from perfect re-
suits. Let the people OF Washington and
its enyirons show their appreciation Of
the men who daily risk life and limb in
their behalf NJ. j. OLIVER

LAW DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST MARRIAGE?

1t is probable that the New York
Workmen's Compensation Commits
sion feels too much apprehension
that employers will discriminate
against married men, because of
the heavy liability to the dependents
of such men, in case of their death,
that is imposed by the law. If
there is a campaign of discrimina-
ton, it is wholly likely to defeat
itself.
Moreover, under the present state
CT the law, only those employers who
carry their own risks are interested
practically in the question whether
their employees are married OF
single. If employers provide 1heir
insurance by contributing to the
State fund or purchase it from the
casualty companies, there is no diff
ference in premium. The State fund
plan creates none and the rates that
the companies may charge are
fixed by law, without regard to the

marital status or the size cf the
family of the man insured.
1t would appear likely. certainly,
that the employer carrying his own
risk would be tempted to discrimi-
rate in favor of unmarried workmen,
because they are the lowest hazards
as regards the amount of compensa-
ton that must be paid in case of
their death. 1t may be also that
the casualty companies, as expert
ence provides statistics to guide
their action, may protest against
insuring married men with large
families at the same rate as single
men. Under the law the only pay
ments made after the death of
single man are for his funeral ex-
penses, while the widow of an as
sured employe receives an annuity
during her widowhood or for life
and his children smaller annuities
until tney reacn the age Oh elgnteen
years.
1t is hard to imagine an expert
enced employer so short-sighted as
to reject or discharge married men
in favor of single men, even if ne
thought he might save something in
case of accident and injury. Aside
from the odium in such a policy,
employers know the value of mar
ried men too we'll to discharge them
for such reasons. Men with families
as a rule are steadier, more response
BILE, and more seriously interested in
their work than men without fami-
lies, who are generally unsettled and
without care for the future.

A POWER TRUST BILL /?

Harry A. Slattery, secretary of
the National Conservation Associa-
tion, makes grave charge against
the Adamson water power bill, which
is being pressed in the House. This
Adamson measure has been under
suspicion, among the friends of real
regulation, from the very beginning.
They have charged that instead of
protecting the public interest it
would in large part surrender these
to the power combinations.
Now comes Mr.. Slattery with the
details of accusation against the
measure. He says that a very large
part of its text was lifted bodily
from a measure prepared by lead
ing attorney for the water power
interests. This plagiarism, he de-
clares specifically, involves 1877 lines
out of the 4O3 lines of the bill.
These 1877 lines were taken verbatim,
he says, from the interests measure,
ana include the most vital provisions
of the Adamson draft.
1.-The lifted provisions" says Mr..
Slattery, Include in a large part
the jokcred compensation section,
which fails to provide for return
to the Federal Government for
franchise granted; the section pro-
vidinp an indefinite grant; and the
'recapture' section which would COM
pei the Government to pay for the
unearned increment in land and
franchise values when purchasing
the plant"
1t is time for the Administration
TO recognize that grave betrayal
of the public interest is threatened,
and to inform itself as to the real
meaning of the bill in whose inter
est the support of the White House
is claimed. There will not be any
advantage OF votes in the record Of
having supported the bill now
pressed on the pretense that it has

conclusion that the Wilson Admin

Ferguson, anti-prohibitionist, has

alleged that. Texas is incensed

HOW MANY WOULD GO?

The prospect of general war in
Europe causes speculation as to its
effect upon men that were born IN
he countries involved and are now
living in the United States and that
might feel themselves bound, by a
sense of duty or patriotism, to re-
turn for service.
II the Triple Alliance could call
back all the men that have come to
lhese shores from Germany, Austria
and Italy they would be great army
in themselves. The census of 1910
shows that of foreign born men in
his country Germany is represented
oy 1.278,000. Austria-Hungary by
:65.00o and Italy by 713, 3,000-a total
50 great that in this present year it
must be above 100000.
On the other hand, there are near
~ million men of Russia in Ameri-
"a, and great scattering of Balkan
peoples. Twenty thousand Servians
n Chicago say that they will go
::ome to fight. Greece is ready to
help Servia, and there might be an
other Hellenic exodus from the
United States as was the case in
he recent war. 1t is the small ma
ion which keeps patriotism burning
most constantly in the breasts of
its sons.
Of the peoples born under the
Gags of the Triple Alliance it is
mere speculation to try to arrive at
the number that would go home 10
battle. Possibly a million, but not
likely. Perhaps only s per cent.
The Italians might 90 back. They
have for Italy love which causes

STREETS FOR PLAY
GROUNDS.

The children of the city play in
the streets, because they are chill
dren and must play; and for nearly
all of them the streets are the only
available place.
1t becomes question then
whether they shall play in the ut
most security, or as trespassers in
the zone of traffic. The danger
Of street playing has been aggra-
waited in recent years by the coming
of the automobile. The plan of
closing sections of streets adjoin-
ing public school buildings, at GER
tain hours of the day, in order that
the children might occupy them in
entire safety, has been tried in other
cities than Washington, with en-
tire success. Proposal to give it a
trial here was indorsed by the munic-
ipal authorities several years ago,
but without the consent of Congress
could not be adopted, and that con-
sent was never secured.
Washington has more open spaces
than most cities. and therefore less
need for such an intrusion into traf-
fc spaces. But on the other hand
Washington has light traffic and
extended street areas, so that it
involves less imposition on move
ment of vehicles than it would in
other cities. There seems to be a
good case in favor of at least giving
the system a test: This is the gen.
Grafton, pre-eminently, of the chill
dren. They are thought about and
looked after as never before; and
until very much more extended pro-
vision is made for regular play
grounds, the streets should be made
as safe and attractive for their use
as possible.
