CHANGES
IN T|NKHAM BILL
Board of Trade Committee on
Streets and Avenues Sug-
gests Minor Alterations.

At a meeting OF the committee on
streets and avenues of the Board Of
Trade of the District, a report by the
committee favoring certain inserts
and revisions in the proposed Tinkam
Bill, was adopted.
In general. the tone of the bill was
approved in the report. 1t was sug-
'gested that whereas II was fair for
the owners of abutting property to
pay for general improvements. when
they were Immediately benefited by
these Improvements, IL was unfair for
others than the owners OF SUBJ
divisions to pay for improvements Of
streets In those subdivisions.
1t was also suggested that the Dis
trict should pay for improvements in
streets which act as ARTERIES" of
traffic In and out OF the District. aided
in these payments by the owners Of
abutting property benefited to a large
extent by the improvements.
The ruling which will not allow own
ers OF property to live in alleys. was
declared too drastic. in that II Is not
always fair to compel such owners -
move. Some legislation which will have
the same effect and at the same time
be easier on alley property owners was
suggested as means OF remedying such
evils as have made the law necessity.

The One Ballot Record of the
Republican Conventions
From the New York SUM-

In the Chicago convention of 1888
Benjamin Harrison was nominated for
President on the eighth ballot Levi
p Morton was nominated for Vice
President on the first ballot.
In 1892 the Republicans met in
Minneapolis and Harrison was re-
nominated on the first ballot. and
Whtelaw Reid named for Vice Presi-
dent on the first ballot
In 1896. at st. Louis, the Republi-
can delegates nominated william
Mckinley for President on the first
ballot, and Garret A. Hobart for Vice
President on the first ballot
In 1900. at Philadelphia, the Repub-
lican convention renominated William
Mckinley on the first ballot, and for
Vice President Theodore Roosevelt on
the first ballot
Four years later. at Chicago. Theo-
dore Roosevelt received on the first
ballot the Presidential nomination OF
what was then his party; and like
wise on the first ballot Charles w
Fairbanks OF Indiana was nominated
for Vice President.
In t9OS. at Chicago, the Presiden-
tial nomination went to William II
Taft on the first ballot; and the
Vice Presidential nomination tc

nominate him. and the same thing
was true of the denomination of SherS
man for Vice President Mr. Sber-
man died just before the election day,
and the electoral votes that would
otherwise have gone to him we're re-
corded for Nicholas Murray Butler, Of
New York.
For twenty-eight years. therefore,
for more than quarter OF a century,
a single ballot in convention has de-
termined the choice of the Republican
party both for President and for Vice
President The record is unbroken
during that long period. It is un-
broken up to the present time. The
last contest in convention enduring
even TO a second vote was that which
was thrown wide open to the field by
the illness and withdrawal of James
c. Blaine There are citizens who
are preparing to cast next November
their second Presidential vote who
were not born when the last second
ballot was taken. either for President
or Vice President, in any, Republican
convention.
II may be worth while just now tC
recall this uninterrupted and uniform
habit OF Republican conventions.
For almost exactly twenty-eight
years a single ballot has determined
/ the nomination.
For twenty-eight years there has
been no nomination by stampede.

mLLMAN sHAMEs pEMocRArs.

TIC the infinite horror Of Democrats in both Houses
Il OF Congress, and Of the administration, Senator
Tlman. of South Carolina has told plain truth
about his party in debate in the Senate.
Mr.. Tillman has said that the river and harbor
pork barrel which the Democrats are determined
10 put through and the provisions OF which they
are counting TO aid them in gaining reelection, is
simply criminal waste"
He has pointed out that this sum would build two
modern hrst-class cruisers and has insisted that. in
view of the condition OF the navy the money ought to
be spent in that way.
Describing conditions in Congress since the Demo-
Gratis have been in control, Senator Tillman said:
you vote for my steal and will vote for your steal
has come to be the popular slogan in Congress-
The Senator continued Il cannot understand
such policy at all. I do not want to hurt anybodys
sensihilties wound anybodys feelings, but to me
this expenditure would be criminal under the circum-
stances existing. Why should we spend all this
money in the face Of the fact that compelled
greatly to increase taxes in order to the gov
ernment this year?"
Senator Tillman declared that he could not be in
nuenccd by the attempt to brbe South Carolina Con-
gresspen by putting into the pork barrel" 100000
for the improvement OF rivers and harbors in that
state Mr. Trlman concluded with the declaration
that "If this bill does pass pray God the President
! will have the courage TO veto It."

The Democrats OF the Senate have again given
proof their devotion to the principles Of civil
service reform by refusing TO provide that the en-
poyes Of proposed land bank board shall be taken
from the certified list They have provided, however,
that these employees appointed without exami-
nation may be covered into the classified service by
executive order We foresee the procedure. If
the bill passes a lot of Democratic henchmen will be
given good jobs under IT, and about the first OF next
March just before Wilson leaves the White House.

An ImpraciicabIe and EmpYnc
Measure
From Norfolk virginian-Pilot, pem)

uation admit of to deal with the emer-
gency and opportunity. Every ship
yard in the country is working to it's
full capacity. The tonnage now in
process Of construction was never
equaled in the American records. The
yards have orders far in advance and
contracts already entered into run
well into the future. Where. then, is
the new concern OF Uncle Sam & Co.
to get ships in time to meet the emer-
gency and improve the opportunity"
If it buys those now being built, that
will accomplish nothing in enlarge
ment of the merchant marine Of
America. It will only transfer ships
already on the ways from one Amer
ican ownership to another. No bellig-
erent and no neutral nation is Offering
ships for sale. The former are hard
put TO it to repair losses; the latter are
all in market to buy. Transfers from
German or Austrian owners will not
be recognized by the great naval pow
ers, and the ships of combatant pow
ers interned in neutral ports cannot
be lawfully taken over. The govern
ment navy yards can do nothing to-
wards creating a merchant fleet. They
will not be equal TO the demand
shortly to be made on them for build
ing war vessels. II then, the new
corporation must create and equip
yards to bring into existence the great
merchant navy visualized by Secre-
tary McAdoo, the probability is that
the emergency would have passed and
/ the opportunity have disappeared. and
| the time limit of the charter have ex-
pired before more than a fraction OF
the contemplated additions would be
available for service; and then this
masterpiece of legislation stipulates
that the joint corporation shall be
dissolved and the ships that 1t has
acquired be sold on account of whom
1t may concern to the highest bidder,
with every likelihood, as things will
then stand. that they will pass into
alien ownership, unless Congress
shall have in the meantime done that
which can and ought TO be done now,
repeal the restrictions on American
shipping which are the chief cause
why, in normal circumstances, our
trans-oceanic commerce is carried on
in foreign bottoms. The scheme has
no support other than political and
viewed in that aspect, it is contrary
to democratic doctrines. for it is at
once a plunge into government own
ership and ill-disguised subsidy. The
American merchant marine can be re-
suscitated only by striking from the
statute books the laws which de-
stroyed it.
Evening journal., 1916-05-25

Facts are stubborn things. They
may be ignored, and they may be de-
fed, but they are impervious 10 argu-
ment, however earnest, based on
theory, however plausible. The Ship
Purchase bill. which has Just passed
the House of Representatives, is a
case in point.
It is a measure professedly directed
to the laudable object of remedying
this country's lack Of merchant ma
rine To this end it is proposed that
the Government shall become party to
the purchase, construction and opera
ton Of merchant vessels in conjunc-
ton with a private corporation on
whose life a limitation OF time is fix
ed. The shipping business is just now
enormously profitable. The war in
Europe has brought about a stimuli
taneous scarcity of bottoms and an
immense increase in the volume OF
freight seeking ocean transportation
These conditions have raised rates OF
carriage to such an extent that ship
owners can practically exact their
own terms for carriage, and so under
existing conditions, and while they
last. ships under American registry
are money-makers, Notwithstanding
the navigation laws which in ordinary
times render it impossible for them
to compete with ships under the flags
of other nations. But these conditions
will terminate as soon as peace is re-
stored, and with the cessation Of sub
marine warfare. the clearance of the
oil ff M
chant tonnage now interned in neu-
trail ports and the return to peacefu
employment of the hundreds of ships
now employed as auxiliaries TO thu
navies of the various belligerents, al
the causes which contributed in the
past to drive the merchant flag OF the
United States from the high seas vii
again become effective and we shall
/ again be brought face to face with {
competition not TO be met so long al
American law imposes burdens OF
American shipowners which no for
eign rival has to bear. IL is thus
speculation and not an investment
for permanent results in which th
government is to engage under tn
provisions of the McAdoo bill and thi
of itself justifies opposition to tn
measure as at variance with all soun'
principles OF business.
The advocates of the bill insist
4 however. that its provisions are de
signed to meet an emergency and i'm
