Taxpayers who realize what a large part of their taxes are spent on roads and how poor is the average system of accounting for road funds. will be in- terested Tn the following resolution re- gently passed by the County Engineers Association of Nashngton Some system of cost keeping must be de- vlsed whereby all expenditures from road funds from all sources may be classified and segregated. in order that taxpayers and road officials may be in formed of details of costs of construc- ton and maintenance of the various types of road. To this end. we recon mend that ail vouchers for road work before being allowed by the county commissioners, shall show details of expenditures, as to place, extent. char acter and classification of work: and that the county engineer be required tu collect and file all such data"

PROVIDES FOR INTEREST
TO PLAZA LAND OWNERS
Bill Presented by Senator Chiffon
Authorizes Appropriation
of $225.OOO

Payment Of interest in the amount of
s225.000 to the former owners of the
land acquired by the United States for
the extension Of the Capitol grounds is
authorized by bill introduced yester-
day by Senator Chiffon.
All the owners, except the railway
properties, have been paid through the
plaza commission appointed by the
President
The bill, which authorizes the inter
est payments to be made by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. directs that the
interest shall extend from the filing of
| the condemnation report of the court
commissioners. January %, 1913, to the
date of payments to the former owners.
Only the private owners will be affect
ed by the passage of the measure.
A brief urging adoption of the bill
has been filed with the Senate appro-
priations committee by the association
known as Enlargement of the Capitol
Grounds Association. which was organ
lied last year. Officers of the associa
ton are: Louis a. DellWiG, president.
and Robert Nicholson, secretary.
The brief sets out the facts in the
case and cites a large number of court
decisions showing that the same relief
asked for has been granted in many
states in cases where the United States,
the municipality or the railroads have
acquired property under the la" of
eminent domain. In all such cases, it is
stated, interest has been allowed where
payments were delayed.

Declared Protestant Body.

"A Declaration and Testimony" was
adopted. which asserts in emphatic
terms that the Protestant Episcopal
Church is a Protestant body. This
declaration is an answer to statements
recently published by Bishop Kinsman
of Delaware and Bishop Anderson OF
Chicago, representing the Catholic
party, asserting that the church should
declare herself on the Catholic side.
The conference began at 10 o'clock
in the morning and continued until s
O'Clock in the evening. Several of the
addresses calling for an emphatic pro-
test against the introduction of prac-
tees foreign to the Protestant faith
were greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause. One visiting rector declared
that before coming to Philadelphia he
consulted his vestry, which commended
the Church League. and expressed its
hearty Endorsement of the movement.
Letters and kilograms were read from
scores of clergymen representing in
tiuential Episcopal parishes throughout
the country. All expressed their hearty
approval of the objects of the Church
League.

and baptized afresh in the spirit of the
New Testament. the character of our
church became what is now revealed in
her name-the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
confident in her possession Of the
historic creeds and maintaining her an
cient ministry. comprehensiveness be-
came a great characteristic
so much that is alien to her history
and spirit is now being set forth in her
name that loyalty demands of her sons
a clear declaration Of their allegiance.
"First, we assert, therefore. our alle-
glance to the following principles:
~. The suf1ciency of the one sacri-
flee of Christ. and his sole mediatorshfp
with God.
so The sacred right of an individual
soul to an immediate approach to God
in Christ.
- The supremacy of the enlightened
conscience in the individual life as the
final court of appeal.
~ The supremacy of holy scripture
as the test and warrant of Christian
doctrine.
SECONDLY. We affirm our loyalty to
the following truths. which are clearly
indicated in the formularies of the
