District Government Salaries.

1t is now proposed that the horizontal
increase be applied to the salaries of
District employees, who are in precisely
the same position in the matter of COM
pensation and cost of living as are the
federal government clerks. The District
clerks are suffering from the same con-
dition of stationary pay scale and a
rising market rate for all the necessi-
ties of life. It would be unjust to them
to apply the horizontal increase plan to
the departments and to leave them sta
tionary The announcement that plan
for their relief in this respect is under
consideration by the House subcommit-
tee now engaged in drafting the District
bill is most gratifying. The Commits
sioners have been recommending salary
increases for years, with small response.
Some of the most worthy pay advance
items of the estimates, after adoption
by the committee, have been thrown out
Of the bill on points of order. 1t is to
be hoped that any general advance pro-
vision the committee may adopt will be
retained in the bill in its passage
through the House.

startling election figures from Califor-
mia which are as yet unexplained. Mr..
johnson for senator had two hundred
thousand-odd majority. Mr.. Hughes Tor
President lost to Mr.. Wilson by three
thousand-odd. How did it como to pass :
Whose was the blamei The majority in
the state for Wilson secured him the
second term. Such difference between
the johnson vote and the Hughes vote
would not without satisfactory explana-
tion strengthen Mr.. johnson as a presi-
Dental candidate.
But there is so much work to be done
before 1920 arrives, both republicans and
bull moosers who hope for ultimate
complete union should address them
selves to it to the exclusion Of every
thing else. 1t is supposabie that both
want and will strive for progressive
legislation. There really are few back
ward-looking men in Office or seeking
Office in this country. Progress is the
law of political as Of all other kinds Of
life. The question at last relates to how
rapidly and in what directions progress
should be made. When that has been
settled and steps taken along that line
it will be soon enough to begin discuss
ing candidates for 1920.

for an indefinite period is certainly not
conducive to systematic supervision over
the motor traffic, which Is constantly In
need Of observation. II additional reve-
nue. is not particularly desired the end
Of better regulation might be attained
by adding to the initial registration tax
. small continuing license fee, on the
payment Of which the car remains
"alive" in law, and without the payment
Of which it is to be rated as "dead."
The Commissioners want to have new
numbers issued annually to all cars,
with presumably some distinguishing
marks so that the police can quickly de-
tect old tags This could be done on the
reduced fee basis as just suggested.
Certainly something should be done
to check the nuisance of dead" licenses,
which figure so often in the accident re-
ports. The motorists should be willing
to accept system of registration which
will give protection to all, car owners as
we'll as public.

Wilson and Bryan.

It is noted that the President and Mr..
Bryan are not in agreement as to lead
ing issues for treatment. The former
is against, the latter for national ac-
tion on prohibition and votes for women.
The FORMER is for, the latter against,
giving the interstate commerce commits
sion larger control over railroad mat
ters; and while the former is for pre-
paredness in a liberal sense, the latter
is still constituting all steps of pre-
psredness nature as leading to some
thing he particularly opposes-militar-
ism.
The situation was different four years
ago. Then the President and Mr.. Bryan
were in full agreement on all the lead
ing issues awaiting action by their
party. Both were low tariff men. Both
we're advocating new currency meas
ure and additional trust legislation.
Both favored rural credits.
It was for the purpose of helping to
translate this program into law that Mr..
Bryan was invited into the cabinet, and
that he accepted the invitation. So
many members of the new Congress
were his friends it was seen he would
have a strong "pull" with that body;
and he used his "pull' when the body
buckled to work. The domestic fea-
lures of the Congressional Record which
were conjured with in the recent cam
paign in the Presidents behalf were in
part the work of Mr.. Bryan.
Still, while they differ now on the new
matters, the two men may not differ
two or four years hence. The Presi-
dent has a way of changing his mind.
Since assuming the duties Of President
he has changed it on four as important
matters as now separate him from Mr..
Bryan-the Panama canal tolls, pre-
paredness, the tariff commission and the
child labor law
Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand, is Ike
ly to stick. Even if he were of an un-
stable nature, he has gone too far for
prohibition and votes for women by na-
tional enactment, and against prepared
ness in all forms, to make it possible for
him to take the back track on either.
Win or lose, he must stand to his guns.
As the past four years produced new
aignments, the coming four may be
marked by similar feature. Mr.. Bryan,
out of Office, and as popular orator and
agitator at liberty to go his own gait
and as far as he pleases, may bring to
his side before 1920 good many demo-
Gratis who today are in doubt about, or
in open opposition to, the views he is
now expressing.

The Second Inaugural,

Col. Nugent of New Jersey-his enc
mics call him Boss Nugent-wants the
democrats of that state to make an i'm
pressive appearance in this town at Mr..
Wilson's second inaugural, and is al
| ready appealing to his followers to be-
gin preparations. He has in mind a
large attendance as a tribute to the
states distinguished son. The state, it
is true, did not vote for her son last
month, but nevertheless he was elected,
and Col. Nugent's idea is that he is en-
titled to all the honor the state can
show him on the occasion of his sue
ceeding himself in Office
Col. Nugent is right. Jersey should
turn out in force. "a halcyon and vo-
ciferous time" for everybody, democrats,
republicans, bull moosers, prohibition
lists, socialists and all other kinds of lists,
is on the cards. Washington expects q
record attendance, and will be able and
in the humor to entertain all who come.
And here is tip for Col. Murphy Of
New York, Col. Sullivan of Illinois and
Col. Taggart of Indiana. Let them copy
this excellent example, and vie with
Col. Nugent and one another in the good
work. Let them come to town at the
head of troops of friends and follow
ers, in the mood to "spend that day in
mirth and glee."
1t will be time for forgetting. Col.
Nugent has not always liked Mr.. Will
son; and the real strength of his at
tachment today is not known. They
did not hit it off we'll when Mr.. Wilson
was Governor of New Jersey. Col. Nu-
gent was not Wilson man at Balti-
more. He has not been distributing as
Mr.. Wilson's agent any federal patron
age. Still, he supported Mf. Wilson in
both Of his races for the presidency and
is now formally enrolled as a Wilson
man. He is keen to do all in his power
toward making Mr.. Wilson's second in
augural memorable affair.
Now, If Col. Nugent can afford this,
others can-all others. Mr.. Wilson is
the President Of all the people, includ-
ing the bosses. Inauguration day is "a
national day. From the rising of the
sun even unto the going down of the
same, partisan politics is barred.
Weather permitting-the weather is
sometimes inconsiderate and unruly-
one sees in this town on such an oeca-
sion genuine and inspiring exhibition
Of pride of country and respect for au-
thority. And even the weather, when in
ite most cantankerous spirit, cannot seri-
ously mar plans which are always
grounded in the best of fellowship.

johnson and the Presidency.

Writing to an admirer in New Jersey
who had proposed him for President,
Senator elect johnson of California said: !:
TT was with the keenest pleasure
that read your note of November 81,
and cannot adequately express to you
my thanks for your very kind express
sions and your suggestion Of my can
didacy for our highest Office. I am a
little too doubtful about myself and my
ability to contemplate such a dazzling
prospect. While am flattered and ex-
ceedingly grateful to you for what you
say about johnson boom in 1920 l
would not attempt to minister to it,"
Making due allowance for Mr.. John
sons modesty, which in this case is, of
course, diplomatic, his, for three rea-
sons, is safe and sound position.
In the first place, 1920, as respects all
political calculations, is very remote.
There Is nc telling In the present state
Of unrest in America and elsewhere
what may take place between now and
then. Still further disturbances in old
party alliances may come to pass, and
. radical shake-up all over the country
result.
In the second place, Mr.. johnson has
been elected to the Senate as a repub.
iean. and, presumably, when he takes
his seat will enter the republican caucus
and pass upon measures presented from
. party point Of view. He has been q
bull mooser, and in his race for the
Eenate had the support Of many bull
moosers. But as the bulk Of his sup
port was republican he must a. sen
stor at least try 70 unite bull mooseEJ

The Annual Motor License Plan

|. The Annual Motor License Plan.
The Commissioners propose the an
nual licensing of automobiles in the
District as a means Of preventing the
misuse Of license tags. At present the
individual motor car is licensed and the
permit is good as long as that car is
used by the person who secures it. In
other words, the license runs with the
person and the car. II the car is sold
or exchanged to another ownership d
new license must be secured. If new,
additional car is bought the owner must
take out an additional license. Now it is
proposed that each car be licensed an
nually, which means to apply yearly
tax of $2, If the present rate is main
tanned, on each automobile in use in
Warrington, instead Of . tax Of $2 Per
car regardless Of time.
Two considerations present themselves
in this connection. Is the additional
taxation necessary, and Is the annual
licensing Of motors required In the In
terest Of public safetyi Inasmuch as
Congress will not permit the District
now to spend all Of its money in main
tenance, on the statutory basis Of half
and-half, increased revenue from this
source is not especially to be desired.
But it is urged that in the absence Of
annual licensing many cars are being
irregularly operated here, and license
numbers are being loaned and rented
Improperly, with the result Of adding to
