New York.

The mention of Mr.. Roosevelt as the
republican candidate for the Senate
fixes attention upon the fact that the
democrats have not agreed upon theirs.
Mr.. o'Gorman will not stand for re-
election.
Secretary McAdoo disclaims any am
bition in that direction. William F..
McCombs, who has just retired from
the craftsmanship of the democratic ma
tional committee, has been asked to
run, and is considering the proposition.
Former Gov. Glynn is doomed, and his
keynote speech at st. Louis is aiding
the boom.
The man selected must, it is clear, be
acceptable to both Tammany and the
national administration. he must have
a united party behind him in order to
win. And even then success will be a
problem, for a GOODNESS Of three years
between Tammany and the President
has created conditions not easily reme-
died.
The situation, il report is to be be-
lieved, made the campaign unattractive
to Mr.. o'Gorman. He has not found
favor with the administration. His op-
position to two Of its measures-the
Pansms canal tolls measure and the
ship purchase messure-bsrred him
from the inner council. He has been
but LITTLE consulted. and in the matter

Repeal the Borland Law!

strong appeal has been made to
the Senate subcommittee on District
appropriations for the repeal of the So
called Borland amendment, now law
for two years and proposed by the pend
ing appropriation bill to be extended
to include macadam pavements This
lnequitable provision of law. adopted in
1914 without any public request or ne
cessity, puts upon the individual prop
erty owner the major portion of the
burden of street improvements and re-
pairs, which heretofore had been
financed out of general funds. The
change was adopted in the face of gen
eral protest from the District people,
who pointed out the injustice of max
ing the property holder bear the double
cost, first of contribution to the general
taxes and then of the direct assessment
for street improvements. This law.
furthermore, is unjust. inasmueh as it
is enacted after the major portion of
the city and suburban streets have been
surfaced on the basis of payments out
of the general fund Thus suburban
development has been checked serious
~ during these months of the operation
of the Borland law, suburban property
owners not seeking improvements under
elimination against them after years of
general fund financing. Instead of ask
ing for street improvements the owners
of suburban property, in which field
lies the present important development
of Washington. have been deferred
from seeking betterments calculated to
bring about the wholesome growth of
the city and the advance of property
values. This has worked to the dis
advantage of the whole District, as it
has prevented growth and expansion
and held back increases in assessment
valuations in the suburbs. The pend
ing amendment adopted by the House
extends the operations of the Borland
law to macadam pavements, which pre-
vail in the more remote suburbs, and
thus increases the burden upon the
small home owner who has gone beyond
the city limits for his dwelling. 1t is
now asked not merely that the Senate
reject that amendment, but that it re-
peal the Borland law as whole, re-
verting to the original system of pay
ing for street improvements out of the
general fund on the theory that what
benefits any part of the District bene-
fit the whole, and that a street is
public utility in which every member of
the community is interested In view
of the strong presentation of the case
before the Senate subcommittee, it is to
be expected that that body, in the spirit
of justice toward the District which it
usually manifests, will repeal the OBJ
noxious Borland law and return to the
equitable system of the past.

Government and Guardsmen..

1t is proposed to secure an enact
ment by Congress authorizing the Presi
dent to grant leave of absence on full
pay to all members of the National
Guard who are in the government en-
ploy for the term of their service un-
der the recent call. This would seem
to be the most elementary justice to
the men who have volunteered their
soldiers. and who are included in the
call to arms. At the outset of the sit
uation precipitated by the Presidents
summons it was assumed that the
United States would set an example to
all other employers in the matter of
provision for the men who wear the uni
form of the militia. 1t has proved, how
ever, that under the laws at present the
government can grant only about forty
five days of leave with pay, there being
no statutory provision for special leave
during service as national guardsmen
ON active duty. The proposed resolu
ton should be pressed to enactment
without delay. not merely for the as
surance that it will give to the mem
bers of the guard who are in govern
ment employ, but for the influence such
a provision would have upon all private
employers With this action taken
and with the precedent thus established
adopted by all business men whose
workers have joined the colors, there
would be need but for little effort to re-
lieve the families of members of the
guard during their service.
