n'AwAll's PROGRESS RECOGNIZED.
CFrocm the Christian Science Monitor.)

From the Christian Science Monitor.)
The right of communities to levy assessments on
benefits and to issue special assessment bonds for
local Improvements, has been upheld too often by
judicial decision in the United States to be seriously
questioned especially in states where such right is
not denied constitutionally. What is known as the
anoa bond case" involving the right referred to,
has recently been decided by the supreme court of
Hawaii. Upon this decision numerous contemplate
ed public improvements in Honolulu have been hang
ing.
The finding of this tribunal was that statute
providing that the cost of highway shall be assess
ed against the lands benefited by the improvement
cannot be said to provide for constitute taking
Of private property for public use without just COM
pensation without due process of law because it
does not expressly provide that the amount of the
assessment shall not substantially exceed the spe
ciai benefit conferred Much latitude. it is held.
must be left to the legislature in determining the
method of assessment, and statute can be success
fully called in question only when it is so devoid of
any reasonable basis as to constitute an arbitrary
abuse Of power The issuance of bonds payable only
out of special fund for public improvement does
not constitute municipal indebtedness within the
meaning of the fundamental limitations upon such
Indebtedness
These findings arg broad enough to satisfy the
most ardent supporter of the special assessment doc
frine.

As an Indication of what may he expected after
the war FairJPay. of the leading British jour
nails devoted to shipping and finance, said on Aug:
ust 10:
"America so far has eyaded the fight but she Is
bound to recognize things apart from the fact
that we are not out to be beaten1 firstly. that the
nations who win this war; whether they be the Al
lies or the Central Powers, will not be in temper
to stand any nonsense from any neutrals; that the
winning combatant countries will represent the
Anlain armed forces Of the world and that no one
else will be in the running. Secondly. America will
appreciate that the Allies do intend where it pays
them to do So to put up a tariff wall between them
selves and neutrals. They mean to restore them
sclrcs and to become self snpporting-dt some or
pense it may be rrhle the operation lasts but Ger
taily not for the benefit of neutrds And if this be
so, then America has perhaps a somewhat awkward
~ restricted market. She has already experienced
the pleasure of Chinese boycott but at the close
of the war she will be facing competitor Japan
which economically, financially and by treaty is a
vastly different proposition from the nation which
could be openly fouted over California issues few
years back" u. H..

FACTS On OUR NAVY

NEW. YORK, N Y, Oct. 1S.-The
marked difference Between ae,navy au.
thorized by Congress and navy Tin.
der construction, much less actually
completed, is shown in information
furnished the National Security
League by the navy department in
response to an inquiry; The official
figures show that upon the whole very
little progress has been made toward
constructing the navy authorized by
appropriations made as far back As
June 80, 1914, and March 3, 1915-27
months and is months ago respec.

Attention is called. In this connec,
ton to the case of the, ,battleship Ari
IONA, commissioned yesterday (Octo.
her ID. This ship was authorized
March 4, 1913; its keel was not laid
until a full year later and the ship
was not placed in commission until
more than AZ months after its authori:
zation hy Congress. ~ !
Two battleships, the Tennessee. and
California, were authorized in March,
1915. On October L Of. this year the
former, was only eight-tenths of 1 per
cent completed, and the latter three
I-and .two-tenths per cent OF the six
Edestroyers authorized at the same
time the percentage of completion
ranges from only eight and four-tenths
to twenty-seven and eight-tenths. The
two sea-going submarines then author
lied have not even been begun, nor
has any work been done on two Of the
Is coast defense submarines. The
highest percentage of completion Of
the other ii is 34.9 and the lowest
1876. A fuel ship authorized in 1910
is reported 816 complete.
The table further shows that of the
ships authorized June 30, 1914, q
months ago, the three battleships are
less than 20 per cent complete: New
Mexico 4S.6, Mississippi 55.9 and the
Idaho 64.S. OF six destroyers author,
lied, three are in commission and the
others have progressed to a percent
age of S9.9,91.1 and 72.5.
One of the submarines which mas
figured most largely in congressional
and newspaper discussions is the
Schley. Although it was authorized
more than two years ago, its construc:
ton has reached only the small per.
centage of 273, a proportion which, II
not increased, means six more years
before it is ready. AS compared with
the work which is being done abroad
in constructing submarines, the show
ing lacks both promptness and eff
cheney. Work on the other subma
rines has progressed more rapidly, but
not one of the vessels is more than 10
per cent completed. -. =:

Direct Primary No Panacea

What is there about the present system
that the people cannot remedy by attend
ing the caucuses? What will they get in
a direct primary that will not allow the
same conditions, unless the people turn
out and vote?-Rutland Herald.
The belief that publication in politics
will follow the adoption of the direct pri-
mary is an iridescent dream. As stream
can rise no higher than its source so no
body of electors can get better methods
of administration of laws unless they be-
gin at the fountain head. If a handful
of men, call it ring if you will, can con-
troll a caucus or convention today and
nominate m IN the people do not want,
they can do it tomorrow under differ
ent system-unless the voters themselves
take hand in the game. Either theory
Is good; the trouble lies In the execution.
