TWO BIG PROBLEMS
T0BE WORKED OUT
ARE NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS
AND NATIONAL REVENUES.
ENORMOUS APPROPR|-
ATOMS EXPECTED.

Washington, D. c., November &c.
National preparedness and nat onal
revenues are two problems that go
hand in hand.
'The Democratic administration
proposes the one when 1t has utter
ly failed to solve the other"
These are conclusions reached by
Representative Frederick H. Gillett
of Massachusetts,, ranking minority
member of the Appropriations Com
mittee. His statement has greater
significance when it is remembered
that for weeks Mr.. Gillett has been
| in daily conference with both Demo
Gratis and Republicans of the House
in an effort to improve the present
system Of financing government APP
preparations.
'The question of revenues is the
most difficult problem the Demo-
cratic party must face when Con-
gress meets" said Mr.. Gillett. IRE
publicans have always claimed that
lack of business efficiency was an
inherent and inevitable defect in
every Democratic administration.
That theory has been abundantly IL
Illustrated since March 4, 1913.
"Dilatoriness, yacillation, change Of
plans and deficits have marked the
Democratic fiscal policy. A constant
excess of expenditures over receipts
has been shown by Treasury state
ments. Furthermore, the sudden
change in the form of statements
adopted ON the first of October,
whether made for that purpose or
not, had the effect Of preventing easy
comparisons and unfairly swelling
the apparent Treasury balance.
Now the President is going to
recommend enormous appropriations
for the army and navy. The serious
problem will be how to pay them. In
the past Republicans have been al
lowed no voice in these matters.
Plans have been formulated by a
Democratic subcommittee endorsed
by a Democratic caucus, and passed
by a Democratic majority kept solid
by the pressure of party tyranny and
administration patronage.
Whether the same system will
prevail in the coming session will
depend, suppose, upon the harmony
In the Democratic ranks and the
Necessities of the administration. At
all events l think the funds necessar.
for the program should be raised by
taxation and not by sale of bonds.
The proposed expenditures for nation
al defense should not be shifted on
to our successors, but should be
paid from current revenues.
"This involves cutting off our lux
uries and pruning down our necessi-
ties on the one hand, and increasing
our income on the other.
ut involves surveying the field
from business and not from a polit.
ical or sectional viewpoint and that
Is where fear Democratic failure. !
Unless the party can meet the situa-
lion with better business foresight
md efficiency than 1t has so far
displayed, the current drift toward
he Republican party will become a
andslide."

The amount OF publicity that Pay
cite has already received from ad-
vertising the fact that one Of its
Citizens has expressed a willingness
70 demonstrate his faith IN the
future Of the town by the financing
of fifty-thousand dollar hotel prop

only meant the erection OF one more
fine building It would have a stimu-
lating influence upon others who,
while owners of valuable business
sites have been timid about putting
their money into buildings, but the
erection of such building, that

on the present stability and future
growth of the city, and by men who

In the death Of Booker Washington
which recently occurred after a very
brief illness. the negro race lost Its
most distinguished citizen. Though
born in slavery, he rose to eminence
as an educator and emancipa&or OF
biz people from ignorance, shiftless-
uess and vice. At Tuskegee, Ala
bama. where there were no school
houses and no scholars, in twenty
four years he created the largest
negro school in the world, with
thousands of pupils and ~ million
and half of property. He was
successful in impressing upon his
people that they would have to
make their way by productive labor
and rigid economy, instead of COM
planning of their unfortunate en-
vironments. If these lessons have
become SO deeprooted as to remain
with the negro and continue to shape
his life, then Booker Washington perl
formed great work that will per-
petuate his name throughout the gen
erations to come.

NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY TO
SETTLE BASEBALL STRIFE.
National League Holds Annual Meeting
in New York.

New York, Dec 1.-THE annual
meeting of the National league here
today developed the fact that active
negotiations are again under way for
a settlement of the baseball strife be-
tween organized and independent
baseball interests. President John K.
Tener of the National league, in an
sWer to numerous questions as to the
truth of report that there had been
a conference between his organization
and members of the Federal league,
made the following formal statement:
Certain club owners of the National
league yesterday met representatives
of the Federal league. but no, readjust-
ment of baseball conditions can be
made without the agreement of major
leagues and pending the decision of
Judge Landis.'
Further than this, President Tener
refused to commit himself or the Ma
tional league, and all the club owners
of the senior league, taking their cue
from their exc cutive, declined to dis
cuSs the report or comment upon the
rumors of peace. Tener's reference to
major leagues in his short and rather
ambiguous announcement was taken to
mean that such arrangements as may
have been discussed at the conference
must be sanctioned by the American

league. which meets in Chicago tomor-
row.
This was further borne out by the
report that Barney Dreyfuss, presi-
dent of the Pittsburgh club, had left
for Chicago before the National league
meeting adjourned this afternoon with
a copy of the proposed plan of agree
ment as outlined by the National
league magnates and the Federal
league officials. DreyfuSS could not be
located in this city tonight, and his
fellow magnates professed ignorance of
his whereabouts. 1t was said, however,
that it was necessary for the National
league to lay the report of the con-
ference before the American league,
since that body was not formally
aware of the efforts of the national
league to bring about a working agree
ment between organized and independ-
ent baseball
The meeting, which Tener admits
was held in this city late last night,
and which was denied as taking place
by several National and Federal
league club owners earlier in the day.
formed part of a dinner given by
President Tener to the club owners of
his league. Every one of the eight
National league club executives is said
to have been present, in addition to
James A. Gilmore, president of the
Federal league, and Harry F. Sinclair
treasurer of the Newark Feds. one of
the wealthiest hackers of the indie
pendent league.
The meeting is said to have been a
continuation of the conference held in
Philadelphia during the worlds series
and a tentative outline of the means
whereby working agreement might
be reached was adopted While none
of the magnates could affirm the re-
port, it is understood that the Ma
tional league magnates offered to per-
NIT certain Federal league hackers to
purchase stock in several of their
clubs and to arrange for others to be
taken care of in eastern minor leagues.
While the possibility of peace was
the outstanding feature of the Ma
tional league meeting, several routine
matters We're disposed of before ad-
journment late this afternoon.
The board of directors formally
awarded the championship pennant to
the Philadelphia club. The following

Ebbets. Hermann, Hampstead and
Gaffney.
At the regular meeting President
Tener in his yearly report referred to
the season of 1915 as an artistic and
financial success. He paid a tribute
to the late A. G. Spalding, who was a
life member of the league, and also to
the memory of the late Andrew S.
Freedman, a former president of the
New York club. AS a mark of respect
to the memory of these two men who
were so closely identified with the
national game. the league meeting was
adjourned until o'clock tomorrow at
ternoon.
At tomorrow's session several pro-
posed amendments to the constitution
will be discussed. A limitation of pass
gate privileges also will be recon-
mended and resolution to make sus-
