Ex-senator Blackburn's Testimony

In the recent House debate on the
rider to repeal the half and half law it
was said:
"Ex- Ex-senator Blackburn appeared be
fore that committee and gave unmis-
takably his testimony and his judgment
that the time had arrived when that law
was no longer equitable and that the
very provision that is in this bill should
be enacted into law
Ex-senator Blackburn testified that
the half and half law was no longer
equitable in its treatment of the Dis
trict taxpayers; that if a definite pro-
portion were continued 65 per cent from
the government and So per cent from
the District would be more equitable;
and that while in the Districts interest
he would not maintain the half and ha f
partnership he would have the appro-
priation system which displaced Il "mOre
fixed, more determinate and more per-
manent than the half and half bill of
1878 made it" .
Advocates of the pending appropria
ton bill with its rider justify The leg
islation on the ground that The half
and half law is inequitable TO the ma
ton Mr. Blackburn holds that it is in
equitable to the District taxpayers The
pending bill in the very words of the
appropriations committees report pro
poses government expenditure Cor 1917
of 500 per cent and Distric. contribu
ton of 69.3- per cent. Mr.. Blackburn
fayors as equitable practical reversal
government and 80 per cent for the Dis
trict taxpayers. The pending bill de
stroys the half and half law and builds
up absolutely no definite system in its
place. Everything is left uncertain.
fiuctuating, subject to caprice. If the
partnership of 1878 is dissolved in the
interest of the District Mr.. Blackburn
would have the substituted approrria
ton system for capital maintenance and
development more fixed, more deter
inmate and more permanent than the
half and half bill of 1878 made it,
In spirit, in purpose and IN view
point ex-senator Blackburn and the
pending legislative rider are as far apart
as the poles.

Ger of the democratic national conven-
ton, might be construed as "a refer
ence to an aHusion," and cause embar-
rassment. Mr.. Clark had the majority
with him at Baltimore four years ago,
and by every rule of reason and true
fair play should have won the prize;
and had he won it he would probably
have been elected. Mr.. Roossvelt's bolt
as it did in that of Mr.. Wilson. But
Mr. Bryan was able to block the votes
necessary to the othirds requirement,
and Mr. Clark was defeated. To bring
up all this-even if not in open discus
sion-at St. Louis, in Mr.. Clark's pres
ence in the chair and in Mr.. Bryan's at
the reporters table. with Mr.. Wilson
slated for denomination by acclamation,
would not make for good feeling at a
time when that feeling should be pro
NOTED.
And then Tammany will be present in
force. Tammany was the cause of the
trouble at Baltimore. Mr.. Bryan held
that the braves were not good Indians
that their hearts were bad. They were
for Clark. and on that account he switch
ed to Wilson. But note one of the re-
suits of Times whirligig Tammany.

seats among the mighty at st. Louis
and vote for Wilson, while Mr.. Bryan,
barred as delegate by the loss of favor
at home, will sit, pen in hand, among
the chroniclers of the proceedings.
But. later, Tammany and Mr.. Bryan
will be working together for Mr.. Will
sons reelection. 1t will not be difficult
for them to clasp hands. They have
worked together before. Three times
in 1896. 1900 and 190S-Tammany was
Mr. Bryans sole reliance in New York.
while in 1904 and 1912 both did all they
could for the cause.

that each leading party in the Senate
