For Benefit of Predetermined.

\ citizens committee representing
the Associated Charities and several
other liN organizations came to MIR,
Tinkhan recently with a bill for the es-
tablshment OF home for feeblc-minded
persons within the District A partial sir
vey of the District disclosed that there
We're 500 defective persons living in
were in institutions of any kind and
that none of these institutions was
adapted to their control and .duc:,-
ton. This class Of persons Mr. Tink-
ham finds. is raDi1l" increasing md e
puircS treatment different from that of
any other class OF deprnf,nts g..
says il is agreed L" the experts that
there is no. longer any question thai
feeble mindedn"ss descends from gem
Grafton to generation and one of the
most urgent steos now called for in
the constructive problem of society is
to reduce the DronortIon OF su!e-
minded persons. The Tinkham bill
intended to ameliorate the condition
of these unfortunates and lessen their
number, is now before the Distncr
committee. 1t will meet with hearty
SUPPORT in Congress and the commit
ed, a national organization with head
quarters in Philadelphia, is circulariz-
ing Congress in favor of the bill
This hasty review may be sufficient
to show that while Representative
Tinkham may not be doing the things
that add TO his political glory at home.
he is making mighty warm place
for himself in the hearts of the resi-
dents OF Washington.

Starts to Remedy Injustice.

For several years ii has been the in
conceivable custom in the District of
Columbia to assess abutters year after
year for street improvements without
making the improvements. The Dis
trlct Commissioners would calm. y
make a survey, levy the assessment :
and collect the. money without turnirn
shovelful of earth toward building
the street This was an injustice of the
rankest kind, and Representative Tinl-
ham has started in TO remedy it, He
denounced the present system as in Inc
nature of public fraud and has intro
duced Il bill prohibiting condemnation
proceedings and the assessments OF
costs Of land takings for any street UNI
I'll sufficient none has been app.o-
Driated TO build the street This meats
ure is heartily pleasing to the people
of the District and stands - fair chanve
of being reported favoraiis.
Within forty eight hours after Ir
Tinkham had introduced his, bill 2p-
plying the civil service rc2ul ItionS t.
persons in the service of the District
Of Columbia President Wilson had
given the measure MS Endorsement.
The idea of Introducing it came to MIR.

to learn that while othe" government

Cne OF Busiest Men in Town.

Since taking up his work on this COM
mittee Mr.. Tinkham has been one Of
the busiest men of the town. No! only
with hearings and with bills intrustcd
to him has his time been taken, but he
has been invited about town by the
various community associations and
has made many speeches eXpla ming
Legislation before the committee affect
ing the people of the District proba III Y
the most important matter in his
charge is the bill to eSta bliSh a juvenile
court on modern lines. This originally
was placed in Mr.. Tinkham's hands by
the commission of five members APP
pointed by The Attorney General of the
United states to study the subject
When Mr.. Tinkham received the meas
ure 1t was III Il rough draft and it be
came his duty to remodel ii. substitute
ing the necessary legal phraSeolo2y
and making it conform to the general
laws of the District. The bill was
the first rone of the session to be given
TO a minority member of the committee
as the subject of a ma jority report. Mir
Ilnkham regards this measure as the
most advanced piece of juvenile court
legislation to be found in any of tn.
states. and he declares that it Will pro-
vide model for other communities TO
follow. II lifts the child out of the
criminal class establishing him as a
ward of the municipality entitled to its.
protection rather than a criminal Of
fender against its laws. Its chief pro
visions are that no child under seven
teen Years OF age may be charged with
a crime: THAI hearings a: the discre-
ton of the judge. shall be private and
the records not open to indiScrimi nat {
review: and that Il temporary detention
house for children be established which
shall stand apart from all other institu-
tons. The underlying theory of the
measure Is that the reputation of the
juvenile offender shall he protected and
that the child shall be saved to the
community and not forced fout of il
The b:ll was reported about six weeks
ago and was debated in the House for
about hVe hours. with AIR. Tinkham in
charge At that time all except the
four last pages were approved. Since
then the time of the House has been
taken with matters of preparedness
and the appropriation bills
