BELASCO.

The first performance Of the San

city was given last night at the Belasco
Theater. when Verdi's Aida" was
heard by a literally packed house.
Grand opera at popular prices 10
something for which many have striven.
and few have attained, but the San

director. seems to have reached the
happy medium where quality and guam

and grand opera for the many Is OBJ
tained rather than for the few.

THE FISCAL COMMISSION

It would be difficult to justify any
serious criticism of the appointments
to the joint Congressional committee
which has been authorized to investi-
gate the fiscal relations between the
District and the Federal Govern
ment. Senator Chiffon is presum-
ably to be chairman, and he is we'll
fitted for the work, and amply
equipped with that general knowl-
edge of Washington which is per.
haps more desirable in this connec-
tion than would be the detailed un-
derstanding that comes to men who
have long handled District legisla-
tion. Senator Salisbury represents
much the same equipment. Senator
Works has served on the District of
Columbia Committee. and will be
able to provide the committee with a
good deal of detailed information.
On behalf of the House the COM
mittee will be composed of Messrs.
Rainey of Illinois, Gard of Ohio
and Cooper of Wisconsin; of whom
Messrs. Rainey and Cooper are Con-
gressional veterans, long given to
close study of legislative business
coming before them, and vet free
from the prejudices that might have
developed from that intimate service
Of the District Committee. There
Is every reason for confidence that
none of the extreme and unreason-
ing hostility to the District, which
has cropped out in a few places in
The Washington times., 1915-03-09

of State authority; yet there seems
a. general sentiment that no very
sweeping changes will be made.
Martin W. Littleton, speaking
with Mayor Mitchell, declared that
the short-ballot system of State
government should be adopted in the
fullest measure. He would have the
State elect the governor and lieu
tenant governor, and would en-
power the governor 't6 make all ap-
pointments of other officers, and in
turn be absolutely responsible for
them. The short-ballot idea has
gained ground more rapidly, thap
has the home-rule project, and it ep-
pears not impossible that New York
may be the first State to enact it. In
any case it is very certain that the
new Empire State constitution-mak-
ing is going to be one of the most
significant experiences in many years
in this department of public activity.
The demand for a smaller legisla-
ture, perhaps for a one-chamber leg
islature, has been echoed from many
directions. The idea was presumed
to be quite crazy when it came first
from Kansas, then from Washing
ton; but now it is found to be strong
among New Workers., and liable to
achieve very respectable support. 1t
is, in fact, just about long enough
since the Kansas idea was first pro.
mulgated to give the thing chance to
break into good society.

THE STATES PROBLEMS

New York is to have a constitu-
tional convention this year; a real
convention, too, with Elihu Root
presiding, with former Attorney
General Wickersham and Henry l..
Stimson, and other men of their
quality sitting as members. The
problem of remaking a State con-
stitution for New York is in some
ways more absorbing than perhaps
for any other State, because there is
so sharp a divergence in interest and
politics between the metropolis and
the upstate.
New York city wants the fullest
possible measure of independence of
the Albany legislature; very much
as every other city does nowadays.
The present city government, dnder
the much-vaunted budget system, is
not a real budget system at all.
Mayor Mitchell told a gathering Of
citizens that of the $l99, 100000 the
city spends this year, only $3S, S,O0O,-
900 will be appropriated and con-
trolled by the city's board of esti-
mate; the rest is all provided by the
State law, which fixes salaries, cre-
ates positions, dictates the functions
to be performed, and leaves to the
city only the expensive privilege of
paying the bills.
Naturally, facing so difficult a
financial condition as it does now
face, the city would like to get its
government into it's own hands; to
get responsibility concentrated
where the people of the town could
get their eyes on the authority,
could be sure there was going to be
no lodging, and could get the re-
suits they wanted. The up State
cities are asking like independence

THE HERO BUREAU

The Federal bureau of thrills,
known as the Life-Saving Service,
has passed into the newly organized
Coast Guard Service. So the Bu-
reau Of Mines enters a claim to be
considered the official hero roster of
the Government.
If mines were not in out of the
way and inaccessible places, if cool,
deliberate facing Of death did not at
tract less attention than a sudden
plunge into peril, the mines long ago
would have furnished more thrills
than the sea. All the mines need is
a Joseph Conrad to unravel their
romance for popular imagination.
Last week the Bureau of Mines
sent its rescuers to Layland, w. Va,
and there, after prowling about in
the ruins of a dank, dark under
ground city, they rescued forty
seven miners who had been impris-
oned four days following the ter
rife explosion Of last Wednesday.
To see drowning man, to plunge
in and bring him ashore, wins a hero
medal. To study a blue print Of a
buried labyrinth Of paths and chan
nels, to walk coolly in amid the gas
eous vapors, to place ones life in
the uncertain breath of an oxygen
tank-all this requires a deliberate
sort of courage Of the higher order
which has not yet been recognized
nor even very widely advertised.
But recognition of the work Of the
Bureau of Mines is growing, and it
will not be long until it will be
known, as are the Weather Bureau
and the Coast Guard Service, as both
a saver and conserver of life. The
work of rescue is being constantly
perfected to minimize the danger to
volunteer rescuers.

RESIGN: RIGHT NOW!

Senator Jones of Washington was
one of the authors of the present ex-
else law of the District, and pre-
sumably knows what it was intended
to mean. He was chairman df the
committee that Investigated the Ex-
else Board; and following that in
vestigation he has made statement
about his opinions of the board
which will not be misunderstood in
any quarter.
Senator Jones declares that he
considered the board wholly unfit
to be left longer in charge of the ex-
ecution of the law" and called upon
the President to remove the member
ship. And he adds:
taken in a court Of law. that the board
has been Influenced corruptly In its
action. but the action which 1t has
taken in the execution Of the law is
theory that excludes corruption unless
We conclude that they are under the
control OF some strong political infiu-
ence or are devoid OF all sense OF public
or moral responsibility. The pres
ent board has made the law a kissing
and q by-word.
The views of Senator Jones will
have to be needed now, or hereafter.
The Excise Board has lost the con-
fidence of Congress and of the COM
munity. 1t is fact, indeed, that is
entitled to be better understood than
it is, that the board has lost all con-
fidence among the saloon men, who
fear that their business will suffer
most by reason of such regulation"
as has been provided under this ad-
ministration.
A word of kindly advice to the Ex-
else Board.
Just the other day The Times was
privileged to commend Major Sylves-
ter for resigning instead of COM
pelling the police to be dragged
through the mire and muck of an
investigation that would surely have
injured the department. The Times
believed he did the wise and the
patriotic thing.
Today, The Times feels just the
same about the Excise Board. It's
best course is to resign, and to re-
sign right now. 1t will save en-
barrassment to the President, to the
Administration, and to any friends
it may desire to consider.
If the board does not resign, an1
if the President does not find time to
inform himself in such detail as to
inspire him to make removals, then
it may be expected that Congress
will find means to command some
consideration for its laws. The board
will be legislated out of Office if it
cannot be got out in any other way.
That is as good as certain. There
is just one course that will reduce
the discomfort and scandal to a mini
mum, and that Is for the board
members to resign.
