The passing OF Frank Chance am

Murphy, Of Chicago. having pulled
another one of his choice firing par
tics right under their noses, the Ma
tional and American Leagues had
something more than schedules, UNI

when they met here today.
The retirement of Johnny Eyers as
manager Of the Chicago Cubs Jared
every magnate attending the war
conference and annual meetings here
today. Evers insists he was fired
and declares he Will not play with
the Cubs. Murphy told tho magnates
his manager had resigned and at his
request Hank O'Day was relieved of
his duty as an umpire and was then
announced as Evers' successor.
If Murphy had sought time when
he might successfully pull off some
thing that would stir up the Chicago
fans and help out Weeghman, Gill
more & Co, in their endeavors he
could not have picked q finer occa-
sion than the present. II Evers
stands firm in his refusal to play In
Chicago, Murphy will have ellminat-
ed the famous "Evers to Tinker tc
Chance" combination within eighteen
months. He put the reverse English
on the combination in the firing pro
cess, however, by handing II Chanc'
J to Tinker, to Evers. Johnny declares
! that he had two contracts with the
Cubs, one as manager and one as
player Both have four years 10 rul
and Johnny figures that he has beer
cast aside as manager he Is also fre,

Injustice to Home Owners.

The injustice Of the Borland amendment to the
District of Columbia appropriation BILL compelling
property owners to pay half the of paving the
streets, is being brought home to residents of the
southeast section OF the city While this measure
was pending in Congress The Herald and individual
opponents of the amendment called attention to the
fact that its effect would be unustly discriminate
against very large number of earners OF a moderate
wage who had purchased modest homes in the suburbs
in sections where land values are not high and
where much of the work OF street-paving yet remains
t. be done.
The weather. of property in the COM
Flcted sections, where values higher, and where
the street-pavng has been maintained almost at per-
lection at government expense will escape their share
OF the burden for some time, while owners of small
houses less fortunately situated will be called upon
to pay half the cost of original paving
AT a recent meeting of citizens OF the southeast
section it stated that the paving assessment would
force many to sacrifice their homes 1t is
to be hoped, however that this was an exaggeratou
The fact remains however that the hasty i-advised
Borland amendment is discriminatory and inhicts
hardship upon the small home owner
1t is. by means certain that the measure can
stand the test of the courts. Those who are called
upon to bear more than their just share of the ex-
pense should organize and have its validity deter
mined

An invisible gray IL worn by German

Not only are the EaiSer.s men clothed

Ndeut that their troops are the least

There may hc lesson for tn United

Ray Of Hone for Railroads.

1t must be welcome 10 the railroads that
President Wilson will hold conference with promi-
ment officials Of the roads next Wednesday Men who
control the railroads claim that of all the interests
affected they have been the hardest hit by the paralysis
of commerce brought about by the war; and that their
revenues for August show an alarming falling off.
There IS no reason to doubt their statements. With
practically no imports arriving and with exports al
most at standstil it is obvious that freight handling
has been enormously reduced and that the passenger
traffic has assumed an importance that has not at
tsched to it for many years
That the roads be permitted to increase their
revenues in some way will not be disputed. In de-
Gliding the question of freghtrae increase some weeks
ago, the Interstate Commerce Commission advised
the roads make their passenger traffic yield larger
returns suggestion that offered but little encourage
ment in view of the fact that several large States
have fixed maximum fare of cents a mile
President Wilson has in the past given evidence
that he realized more keeny than any other member
of his administration that the condition of the rail-
roads, even before the war, demanded serious con-
sideration and amelioration 1t publicly stated
more than one occasion that he was convinced
that the Eastern roads Justly entitled to all the
rate increases for which they had asked only part
of which were granted by the decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The conference next Wednesday is therefore.
especially significant and encouraging to the roads
The President may be depended upon to ascertain the
actual situation and the necessities of the roads From
the standpoint of his own knowledge as to the pos
sibity OF substantial restoration of freight move
ments in the future he will be able to discuss
with the road managers every possible measure for
giving the necessary relief.
The President knows the country cannot prosper
with its railroads Frustrated, and while he will of
course. make no attempt to usurp the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, Wednesdays con-
ference can hardly fail suggest plan of action
that will be helpful to the efforts of the roads to
earn their way.
The Washington herald., 1914-09-05
The Presidents Address.

The Presidents address TO Congress. asking for
additional revenue in order that the strength OF the
Treasury may remain unimpared, was a disagreeablc
duty but one which had to be faced as the Executive
himself declares.
The European war came at a time OF unsatis-
factory business conditions throughout the United
States. Whether such conditions were caused by the
Democratic tariff and other policies is not an issue
at the present moment. Democratic and Republican
statisticians. however proceeding to use the
daily Treasury statement meet their own ends and
as their partisanship dictated.
Then the comes, customs receipts fail and
the deficit must be made up by increased millions in
internal revenue taxes There is no escape and the
Presidents suggestions of the of raising reve
nue by taxation rather than bond issue will meet
approval
The President does not go into detail as to what
he would have taxed. He places the responsibility
directly upon the Ways and Means Committee of the
House and the Finance Committee of the Senate
But the President will in the end, decide every dis
agreement and has the power to make the bill
There is wide latitude allowed in internal reve-
taxation 1t is the duty of the administration to
distribute it equally and fairly as is possible.
The money necessary is not of such immediate i'm
portanCe that it should be gained through hastily
formed, discriminating taxes.
