The School Item.

Unfortunately the proposed resto-
ration of the power of appointing
members of the board of education
to the District Commis being
subject to point of order, has been
stricken from the conference report
on the District bill. 1t is therefore
probably dead for the session. but
IT should be restored to vitality
when Congress reassembles. There
IS no substantial objection to the
Change, and doubtless if it were pro-
posed in separate bill it would be
enacted. The appropriation bill is a
convenient vehicle for the passage of
such items, but in the present case
the conferees. though animated by
the best of motives, exceeded their
authority by adding provision that
had not been considered or ap-
proved by either house. The school
system should be restored as ouicklv
as possible to the municipal jurisdic-
ton.

Of legislation, Mfr. Clark can assist his

party most valuably.
But, as matters stand, how is this
budget committee to proceed? The
famous recipe for hare soup comes
to mind. First catch your hare.
How will it be possible to apportion
the revenues without knowledge
closely approximating what they will
be? And who may say what the
governments revenues will be for
any given period in the near future?
Customs receipts are all out of
plumb. and greatly diminished. The
income tax is not yielding as esti-
mated. The amount obtainable from
the war taxes depends necessarily
upon the state of domestic business.
And yet the government must be
properly supported. Our fixed
charges are large. There would not
be economy, but waste, in denying
sufficient sums for the governments
upkeep. Cutting everything to the
bone even at such a time as this
would be the poorest sort of policy.
Two years ago everything was on
an even keel and the country max
ing progress. Our receipts and ex-
penditures were large. Business was
booming. But as the people at the
polls had ordered new laws new
Congress was called in extra session
to fashion and pass them. That
Congress is now putting the last
touches on that command.
Today the water is rough, and
everything is halted. Our receipts
are greatly reduced. but our expend-
itures keep up. Business, to use
a colloquialism. is looking six ways
for Sunday. Many factories are
closed, and large numbers of men
idle. Nothing doing.
Should not the situation receive
immediate attention? Are there not
a dozen reasons now for an extra
session of Congress to one that ex-
listed two years agol That session
was called to regulate prosperity.
One now would have the giant task
of regulating, and if possible reme-
dying, adversely. But that task,
though herculean, is very pressing.

Fair Play.

IF a commission or joint congress
sional committee is to study the
financial relations of the United
States and the District of Columbia
and to determine the equities be-
tween them it should be authorized
to consider as one of the issues ap-
propriately submitted to it the half
million dollar claim of the United
States for reimbursement OF the
amount greater than its half share
which it advanced to pay interest on
the 3.65 bonds in two years nearly
forty years ago. In 1874 legislation
committed the United States to pro-
portionate contribution toward cap
itai upbuilding In 1873 this propor-
ton was fixed at one-half In the
interval between these dates the
United States met the capitals ex-
penses by using the Districts reve-
nues exclusively in respect to some
items. the national revenues exclu-
siveIy in respect to other items, and
the local and national revenues
jointly in varying proportions in re-
spect to the remaining items. When
the principle OF half contribution
was fixed in 1873 it was viewed as
filling blank in the legislation of
1874 and as applicable to the expend-
itures in the interim. The local and
national expenditures in these four
years were roughly and approxi-
mately equal. and seem to have been
treated in 1873 as offsetting each
other and have been so treated ever
since If now this old account Tin
defiance of the. equitable, spirit of
statutes of limitationsl is to be re
opened as to single item like the
SOS bond interest it should be re-
opened as to the other items of the
four-year account In respect to
this item the United States paid
more than one-half In respect to
other items of municipal expense the
District paid more than it's hall.
Why reimburse in one case and not
in the other?
The Board of Trade, through a
committee, has worked out a state
ment in detail of the general account
OF municipal expenditures in these
four years, and declares that if the
half contribution principle is applied
minutely to them the United States
will be found somewhat in debt to
the District.
Before acting in respect to the
bond-interest item Congress should
examine into the equities raised by
a statement of the general account.
Legislation confiscating District
funds, held in trust by the nation, to
the amount of this interest claim
should not be carried as rider on
an appropriation bill. and the pend
ing provision should be eliminated
on a point of order or by vote.

Heed the Presidents Words.

among the many interesting OBJ
jects which will engage your atten-
ton that of providing for the conf
mon defense will merit particular re-
gard. To be prepared for war is one
of the most effectual means of pre-
serving peace. A free people ought
not only to be armed, but disci.
plined: to which end uniform and
we'll digested plan is requisite
The disturbed situation of Eu-
rope, while it ought to make us the
more thankful for the general peace
and security enjoyed by the United
States, reminds US at the same time
of the circumspection with which it
becomes us to preserve these bless
ings. 1t requires also that we should
not overlook the tendency of war
~ among the nations most
concerned in active commerce with
this country to abridge its means,
and thereby at least enhance the
price of Transporting its valuable
productions to their proper markets.
| recommend it to your serious re-
hections how far and in what mode
it may be expedient to guard against
geneies by such encouragements to
our own navigation as will render
our commerce and agriculture less
dependent on foreign bottoms, which
may fail us in the very moments
most interesting to both of these
great objects"
No, gentle reader. These vigorous
words urging immediate attention to
national defense, and the disciplin-
ing and arming of the people on the
principle that preparation for war is
most effeetual means of preserv-
ing peace; and this strong argument
for building up a merchant marine
of our own in view of the disturbed
situation in Europe are not parts of
President Wilson's next message to
Congress, but were uttered by
George Washington over century
ago in his first and second annual
messages.
The conditions of 1890 in the in
juries and the dangers to the re-
public from hostilities involving the
great maritime powers of Europe
are duplicated and magnified in 1915.
The vital necessity of preparedness
for war as a preservati-e of peace
and OF building up a merchant ma
rinc OF our own (by subsidy, by care
fully regulated government pur-
chase, or by any method which will
be effective) as an essential pre-
requisite of prosperity, are doubt
less as obvious to the latest Presi-
dent as to the first President.
If the spirit of the father of his
country now takes cognizance of and
can intervene in this worlds affairs
surely he will impress deeply upon
those who control and guide the
republic the wisdom of his century
old words urging military prepared
ness and an American merchant
marine.

The Primary.

Again the primary has failed. The
Chicago nominations were made by
minorities, and small minorities at
that. Comparatively few voters ap-
peared at the polls. And yet the
town was advised of the day and
the issues. There was no excuse for
the large abstention. What is the
remedy?
The primary was adopted to cure
the very thing now complained Of
action by the few, and often at the
expense OF the many. Professional
politicians had their way. They
picked delegates. controlled eonven-
tions, made nominations and then
when successful at the polls con-
tIolled the men they had elected e

This announcement is interesting

submission to the next Congress,

Kentucky, Speaker Clark, Represent
atives kitchin of North Carolina

glnia. Garner of Texas and Stout OF

All these men are qualified for the
work. They have studied the sub
ject of the governments needs, and
two of them-Mr. Fitzgerald and
Mr.. Sherley-have had a large ex.
perienee in preparing supply bills.

note, will help. The present House

Office. Hence machines, hence graft,

1
hence all the rest of it.
The primary was suggested. That
would put the bosses out Of busi-
ness, and open the way to full and
fair expression Of the people as to
who should serve them and not the
bosses in public station. All neces-
sary was a chance for the people to
express themselves. They desired it,
and would seize it with avidity.
The chance was provided. A
primary scheme was carefully work
ed out and put on the books. Not
single obstruction remained be-
tween the voters and an opportunity
to nominate candidates for political
places.
But what has been the record? In
no city or state where tried has the
primary encouraged or secured full
vote. Apathy has appeared every
where. Primaries have gone by de-
fault. In some cases candidates have
been nominated by corporars
guard, the great majority of voters
showing utter indifference to the oc-
casion.
The convention system produced
scandal and discomfort. The primary
system has failed to do what it was
principally devised and desired to do.
AS the people were outmaneuvered
by the bosses under the one system,
they are defeated by their own in
difference under the other. They do
not make the nominations.
Is it difficult to believe that the
bosses are still masters? They get
busy in primary campaigns, and have
an eye to results. The banker. the
merchant, the manufacturer, the pro-
fessional man. may forget the pri-
mary voting day, or slight it for pri-
vate affairs, but the boss never. He
votes, and urges others to vote. He
knows who are running for Office, and
what nominations are most desir-
able for him.
The evil is old, and many have Ia
mented it and prescribed many cures.
But no cure has been effected. Have
we too many elections? Or should
there be more, in order to wake up
voters, and keep them awake?
