laid before the governors Of the states,

wishes known. and may do so at once
The question rests 4 good deal with
the Senate, where so many questions
have rested at this session. The House
has hurried, sometimes with, sometimes
without. the aid of its railroading proc
ess. Whenever its services are re-
quested, the rules committee promptly
responds with an order calling for a
vote. and the vote is taken.
The Senate has proceeded with de-
liberation, and in that course been
sustained by many expressions of pub
lie opinion. In some things it has taken
the lead; in others it has followed the
House and reshaped House action. This
has required time
If adjournment is reached or recess
ordered soon, senators and representa-
tives will probably discuss the war with
their constituents. Stumping tours have
been recommended. BY them, it is sug-

work can be aroused.
And. it is also suggested the legisla-
tors by taking counsel in this way viii

understanding of the sentiment of the
country, and be better prepared to pro-

not be confined to the cantonments.
Men in training for war service in the

Is familiar with the whole record, from
the day three years ago when the war
began. So that an announcement of a

for an enormous gathering of men and
women anxious to hear all and the lat
est about the world upheaval.

Economy.

This is from report of the speech
delivered in the House the other day by
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria-
tions committee:
"The warning note in the speech was
a solemn plea for scientific economy
so that only necessary moneys may be
appropriated. He declared that the
figures of revenues aud expenses al
ready compiled show that in this first
year of the war the United States pro-
poses TO spend $1,000 100000 more than
it is raising. This. he contended. would
soon force an 50 per cent war profits
TAX and an income tax Of 60 per cent on
incomes of more than ordinary size"
Mr.. Fitzgerald appeals, not for mig
gardiness or cheeseparing, but for wise
and necessary economy. lie realizes the
size of the governments task, and that
it calls for enormous expenditures. He
himself is voting for the huge sums
Congress is appropriating. But he would
have all estimates closely scrutinizcd.
and the door made fast against all waste
or extravaganza
The advice is timely, and should be
taken. 1t comes from source emitting
it to high consideration. Mr.. Fitzgerald
knows his subject. For some years he
has been occupied as member of the
House appropriations committee with
estimates for the governments support
and since his elevation to the chairman
ship of the committee he has been an
influential factor in all of the commit
tees work
That experience, it is true, was gained
in times of peace. Nevertheless, it
stands in hand now in times of war
Congress is appropriating for measures
on old as well as on new bases; and all
experience, no matter how or when ac-
quired, is valuable.
The country is in generous mood
Evening star., 1917-09-17

as respects supporting the war. Billions
are being voted by Congress without
party divisions. Money is abundant.
+ Nevertheless, it is we'll to remember
that we have just entered the struggle
and that its duration cannot be fore
cast. While it lasts we shall have to
assess ourselves heavily. The bill at the
close will be, by very much, the largest
the country has ever paid.
Hence the advisability of watchful-
ness and care in all. we do. The very
size of the order should operate as a
warning against waste. There is bot
tom to even our deep and well filled
purse.
In this connection the following from
Saturdays Star tells story that is more
than amusing:
"When the Senate met at noon today
there were nine senators and the Vice
President in the chamber. Senator
Smoot moved to take up the eleven
billion dollar bond bill. 'All those in
favor say Ave- said the Vice Presi-
dent. Nobody spoke up. No one having
voted the chair votes "Aye,"' announced
the Vice President, who never votes ex-
cept to break tie
A full Senate might well have greeted
the colossal measure, which afterward
passed by unanimous vote. Mr. Mar
shall. as usual, with characteristic
humor, met the emergency.

The Crowded Schools.

Washington's public schools open to-
day with what will probably be the
largest attendance in the history of the
schools of the District. From every
school building comes the report of a
record inflow of pupils. The truth is
plain that the school equipment has not
kept pace with the population, even in
normal times, and the great influx of
people to Washington incident to the
war work has added to the pressure.
Crowded schools are not conducive to
good work No teacher can handle more
than a certain number of pupils effec-
lively, and that limit has been passed
in this city. Unless more facilities are
provided, more buildings and teachers,
the work of the schools will deteriorate,
however capable the teaching force,
however sound the educational princi-
pies.
Of course, nothing can be done now
for the new school year. But the condi
tions of today will be repeated hereafter
and augmented. This is the time to
take action for the future Large ex
