COTTON ACREAGE

special committee appointed to investi-

The report states tina tdespite the
great increase In acreage 1t is probable
there will be little increase In produc-

demand for American cotton. according
to Mr.. Douglas, and II there Is a large
increase in the yield II is probable that

the cotton raisers decided upon an in

DYESTUFF PREPAREDNESS

Newspaper references in Germany
to the belief in that country that
manufacturers of dyestuffs in the
United States are making super
human efforts of preparation to COM
pete with their chemists are now fol-
lowed by announcement of a combi-
nation of nearly all their leading
companies engaged in the industry.
The great fear of their business
men is that we soon shall have a
suitable tariff on dyestuffs so that
they cannot flood our markets. They
do not conceive that our legislators
can be blind to the insistent needs
Of our people for coloring materials
good in quality and large in guam
tity. With the forethought for which
they are famed they are already pre-
pairing defensive measures, which
from our point Of view will become
offensive when they rush in and
overwhelm us in the economic war to
begin as soon as the sea is free for
their merchantmen.
When conferences were held last
month between the dyestuff, textile,
and importing representatives rela-
tive to getting Great Britain's con-
sent for the shipment of German
colors there was great surprise ex-
pressed at the enormous supplies
Germany was eager to send. Readi-
ness for the immediate shipment OF
10000, 900 pounds was specified by
the German ambassador, the value
Of which would reach far into the
millions. With such quantities now
on hand for expectation from Ger
many there is no question what will
happen when workmen are released
in hordes from the trenches and
from the fortresses where they now
guard the borders.
The profitable manufacture of dye.
stuffs is involved with supplying To
the market many other products re.
curing elaborate and expensive op.
erations, and the investment of large
capital is prerequisite. Our inves'

ginning to realize thai the kind Of
education future employees are get
ting in public schools is Of grave i'm
portance to then Instead of the
old-time antagonitm between bust
ness men and teachers they are
working together.
Now one of tie most commend
able features of the Business High
School plan, as outlined in The
Times yesterday, is thst it is based
on a study Of business needs in
Washington. The courses planned
show the earmarks of being adapted
to the vocational needs Of children
who will live and work in Washing
ton, and not thosy who will work in
st. Louis or Boston or Los Angeles.
The pupils are t. be trained for
jobs within reach.
Therefore the training Business
High School will give its pupils, by
the new system. is of concern to
Washington busin, IS men. To have
school which will turn out COM
petent young men and women to fill
the positions Washington affords
will mean a marked betterment in
the efficiency Of Washington's bust
ness. And in referring to Wash
ington's business the biggest estab-
lishment here, the Government, must
be included.
Like many other experiments sue
cessfully worked out in Washing
ton schools, the one at Business is
destined to attract wide attention.
When II is perfected It will be
adopted elsewhere.

MORE ORDERS FROM cARRANzA

Is Car~anza again ordering our
troops out of Mexico because they
are, in fact, getting out already, or
because lie THINKS that at the rate
they are moving toward the border
it will take them until our election
day to cross Over? Our troops are
falling back gradually, and if Car
rama is at al, informed about their
movements he must know that they
are. But if he IS playing politics
with this situation, as he certainly
is, he ought to ~eslize there is some
politics to be PLAYED with it on this
side Of the lire also. In friendly
mstch Of that so-t each side should
have fair show
Carranza cannot have the Mexi-
cans think we are not scampering
back home without being called a
traitor from chihuahua to Yucatan.
That would be bad thing for Car
rama, who mus. look ahead for a
change from his provisional govern
ment to somebody's permanent gev-
ernmeny-
The Washington Administration
cannot have the American people
think we are quitting the Mexican
problem altogethe and in a rush
without being arraigned in the politi-
cal campaign now opening for such
neglect of duty. That would be bad
for Mr.. Wilson's November vote.
But with plenty of diplomatic in
tercourse and moderate amount of
military maneuvering-in the direc-
ton Of the American line-the game
Of politics on both sides may work
out with reasonable satisfaction to
both players.
Anyhow, there is about as much
chance Of Carranza's government
and our Government going to war as
there is of the German navy and the
British navy having i. out in mid
ocean.

Takes Issues With Writer Of State
ment that Federal Employees Are
Oyerpaid.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
II is not my purpose to antagonize
the gentleman wno wrote the article In
recent issue. but merely to state my
experience in the Government. which
has been over n period of ten years.
and which experience l believe to be
the common one of most clerks. Your
correspondent states: There Is not a
single ebploye in the service of the
Government from the President down to
the humblest employe who is not getting
already more than the service rendered
Ii worth" Tho majority of the clerks
appointed in the Government enter at
very small salary-from 5000 to $1,000
year. and through faithful and eff
Client work are advanced. The duties
of Government clerks are exacting. re-
quiring the highest intelligence and skill.
A Government position Is by no means a
sinicure. A clerk. in order to retain
his or her position. must be continually
on the alert to improve his or her ed
ucation, must be progressive. and amen
able to Improvement. To this end, he or
she studies generally at night schools
and colleges, perfectinR his or her ed
ucation. and becoming In many In
stances lawyers. doctors. dentists.
writer's. ETC.. thus making himself OF
greater value to the Government:

LET THIS BILL BE PASSED


The Democrat national platform
Of 1912 said:
We pledge the Democratic party,
so far as the Federal Jurisdiction
extends. to an employees compensa-
ton law providing adequate indem-
life.
That pledge was written almost
four years ago. 1t has not been ex-
ecuted yet.
The Kern-McGillicuddy bill, which
would carry out this promise, has
been pending since before the Will
son Administration came into power.
1t was introduced by a Congressman
VINO is now a member of the Cabinet,
Mr.. Secretary Wilson 1t has been
introduced and reintroduced, in
House and Senate, eight times.
It was once reported from the
House committee, two years ago;
but it got no farther indeed, there
was circumstantial rumor at the
time that it was reported for politi-
cal effect, with assurance that it
would not pass.
This session it mas again been re-
ported, and from the authoritative
Judiciary Committee. Yet it does
not pass.
Thirty-four States in the Union
have employees compensation legis-
lation. Most Of them grant larger
compensations even than are pro-
posed in the pending Federal meas
ure. Almost every Northern State
has such legislation. II is the COM
mon understanding that Southern
conservatism abour social legislation
is the real reason for blocking this
measure now.
The Democratic party cannot af-
ford to be dominated by such an at
titude. 1t has been charged for
many years that the Southern De-
mocracy is inherently hostile to pro-
gressive social measures; and the
processes Of legislation under the
present Administration have done
much to warrant that charge.
The Democratic leadership ought
to realize that Vt cannot carry the
country in this wey. The doubtful
States are at the North They want
what they want; they know that
along these lines they have better
chance to get it from the Republi-
cans than from the Democrats.
There is no excuse, in sense or in
plain, selfish, raw politics, for kill
ing measure that represents the
overwhelming demand of the coun-
try, and that is good politics."
About one-four.h of the Federal
Governments employees are now
given indemnity in case of injury or
death in their employment. These
include the Lighthouse Service, man.
ual laborers in hazardous employ
ments, rural free delivery carriers
those peculiarly potent political
pets of Uncle Sam!-special deliv-
cry messengers, and a few scattered
branches of employees 1t requires
three different provisions to take
care even of these limited classes.
Between now and the national
conventions would be the psychology
cal time to pass this legislation. II
has been estimated that the maxi
mum cost would be one-half of one
per cent of the Government payroll.
For the saving of that, snd the salts
faction of an unthinking conserva-
tism among a minority of Congress,
shall the Government refuse to be as
humane as are the States, the great
private employers and all the really
enlightened governments of the
world?
