FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
At WASHINGTON

From the Los Angeles Times
When the Democratic party is out
of power it ienounces Republican ex-
travagancc, and demands a more eco
nomcal administration of the Federal
government When it is in power II
expends the public money like a
drunken sailor.
The administration is not altogeth-
er blameless for this, nor yet alto
gether censurable. The public expen-
ditures are in the hands of half a
dozen committees Of Congress. each
working for Itself and ignoring the
others.
While the war in Europe has large
ly increased our expectations and thus
promoted our general prosperity, il
has largely decreased our lmporta-
tions, and it is from importations and
not expectations that Federal revenue
is derived.
The available working capital of
the government fell from s12Y.652, $50.
on July l. 1914, to S42.759,6S9 on
March 2, 1915. The treasury is run
ming behind at the rate of about s12 =
100000 a month, and when the bal
ance on hand shall have disappeared,
say about June Is, bond sale will
be necessary. On January 1 next SUI
gar will be admitted free of cuty un-
less the incoming Congress- shall, in
December, change the law. thus re-
ducing the revenue more than fifty
millions of dollars.
1t is probably not to he expected
that the Sixty-fcurth Congress will
undo all the acts of its predecessors
and without such undoing the financial
situation at Washington must newt
ably grow worse every month.

INJTSTICE no COON SCRUBWOMEN

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Sometimes we are "agin" the GOV
ernment, and this is one of the times.
Just because lot of careless Con-
gressmen failed to appropriate enough
money for the upkeep Of Federal
buildings, a number of deserving Fed
eral employees are compelled to lay
off work without pay for eight days
TO make up the deficit.
And when FIVE deserving scrubwo-
men in the custom house cornered
Congressman Igoe and demanded an
explanation the other morning he
said he didn't know anything about
it. We know something about it
about what ought TO be done. They
ought to take the money from mom-
bers of Congress TO make up the def
cit.
Five good scrubwomen are worth
more any day to the United States
government than five Indifferent or
needless Congressman. We would ra-
ther see FIVE good scrubwOmen than
some Congressmen in the seats OF
the lawmakers at Washington.

NAVAL LOSSES IN
THE DARDANELLES

From the New York Tribune
Were they not all out OF date and
virtually obsolete, the sinking Of six
battleships in the Dardanelles would
hardly be compensated by the pro-
gress reported in the last ten weeks.
II must be remembered, however,
that the allies reckoned upon losses
Of this kind and that IL was with
this probability in mind that ships
were pitted against the Turkish forts.
Such ships as the Triumph and Majes-
tic had had their day, being no longer
fit. in the old phrase. to lie in a
line. Setting aside the loss of officers
and men they could be sacrificed with
out in any way compromising the of-
fective fighting force and were suit
able enough for attacking the defences
of the Dardanelles. A reasonable
number of such vessels we're at the
disposal of the French and British,
but il was clearly understood that a
considerable margin was required.
Twenty years ago the Majestic class
represented the most advanced type
of battleships. and, indeed. this class
was commonly held to be superior TO
the Wittelsbach class laid down in
Germany FIVE years later. But progress
| in design and construction is SO rapid
nowadays that the ships of twenty
years ago are obsolescent and for
the most part useless, except for such
special services as that to which the
Majestic was turned to account. The
Majestic was a contemporary of our
own Iowa: the Triumph, sunk the day
before. was of later construction, but
vessel of inferior fighting value;
the Goliath the third of this months
victims of submarines in the Dar-
danelles. was of the same class as
the old Canopus. which was used az
a fort in the Falklands fight.
There are still good many vessels
of the pre-dreadnought era in the
French and British navies that may
conveniently be used to replace those
that have been lost. vessels that other
wise are almost ready TO be scrapped

ENLARGED HOMESTEAD ACT

Congressman Sinnot's enlarged
Homestead Act, which became law
during the closing days of the Sixty
third Congress, is of interest.
The enlarged homestead law had
permitted any entryman upon non
mineral, non-irrigable, unreserved
and unappropriated surveyed public
lands, which did not contain mer-
chantable timber and were not sus-
ceptible of successful irrigation at
reasonable cost from any known
source of water supply, where such
entryman had not made final proof.
the right to enter public lands of
like character contiguous to his for
mer entry, which, together with or
iginal entry, should not exceed 800
acres.
Congressman Sinnott's bill ex-
tended this privilege to include per-
sons who had made homestead entry
of the above character of lands who
having submitted final proof still
owns and occupies the original home
stead. This places the person who
has receivers final receipt or pat
ent in the same position and gives
him the same privileges as have all
the time been enjoyed by dry land
homesteaier who had not made final
proof or received a patent.
In the case of Oinanen VS.. Ulvi

construed the term to occupy" as
follows:
The term occupy should under
such circumstances be given its ordi-

ence to land in private ownership.
In this sense the term does not re-
quire actual residence, but only such
occupancy as shows an actual and ex-
elusive possession and proprietorship
of the premises"

MAY FORCE DAROANELlES
Admiral Bettolo of Italy Discusses At
tack Upon Turkish Forts

Admiral Bettolo. who several times
has been Italian minister of marine.
is quoted in an interview as declaring
he always has believed and still be-
lieves the Dardanelles can be forced,
although the difficulties to-day
naturally are greater than they were
few years ago. One of the essen
tials in success, he said, was the
complete destruction of each fortifi-
cation attacked and the annihilation
of its garrison by the landing troops.
In explaining the necessity for
sending troops ashore to aid the fleet,
the Italian admiral said they would
be expected to complete the destruc-
tion of Notifications. pursue retreat
ing forces and discover the points
from which mines and torpedoes
were launched.
Such campaign, he said, should
be attempted only after thorough
preparations. 1t should be executed
with daring, tempered with pru-
dence, both of which qualities he be-
lieved were possessed by the British
and French. \
Occupation of the European shore
would be indispensable to the mastery
of the Dardanelles, in the opinion Of
Admiral Bettolo, since the capture
of Constantinople must be the ul-
innate aim of the operation.
"Once Constantinople is occu-
pied," he said, "the least Russia
could be expected to ask would be a
free passage through the straits.
Her appearance in the Mediterran-
can would be preparatory to becom-
ing a great naval power. She is well
equipped to assume this position by
reason-of her powerful fleet. which
would be able to face the greatest
navies in the Mediterranean. From
the Mediterranean she might be ex-
pected to expand her operations to
the oceans.
