appropriate committees. There will
probably be no delay. The case is SO
clear that there should be no debate.
A striking feature of the Presidents
address on this subject is that he takes
pains to bespeak for ria-Hungary
consideration as having been forced in
to its present position by Germany. He
goes SO far as to declare that the gov
ernment at Vienna is mot acting upon
its own initiative or in response to the
wishes and feelings Of its own people,
but as the instrument Of another ma
ton" This despite the fact that the
aggression by Austria Hungary against
Serbia started the confagration. Thus
the President puts upon Germany
squarely and definitely the responsible
ity for beginning the war that has
devastated Europe and menaced other
lands.
Particularly significant is the Presi-
dents declaration that his advocacy of
free access to the sea includes the great
as well as the small nations, particu-
larly mentioning Austria. This has but
one meaning. In his mind there should
be no such partition of Austria as to
deprive that power of sea frontage.
This is reinsurance to the people of
Austria Hungary that there is no de-
sign on the part of the United States
at least to draw Gordon around them.
Declaration by Congress that state
Of war exists with Austria Hungary
will add to the difficulty faced by this
government in the matter of alien enc
mics. There are large numbers of Aus
tro-Hungarian subjects who are resi-
dent here and who have heretofore had
virtually free course in employments
and residence. When the resolution is
adopted by Congress they become sub
ject to the restrictions already adopt
ed, which are to be broadened if the
Presidents recommendation is followed
For those who have not taken heed of
the danger of break between the two
countries and are today unnaturalized
there should be no sympathy. They
have had ample warning of this condi-
ton. If they were loyal in their hearts
to the United States at the outbreak of
the great war over three years ago
they should have acquired citizenship.
A practical effect of declaration that
a state of war exists between the United
States and Austria Hungary will be that
American troops can be used on the
Italian front. Whether actually en-
ployed in the lighting lines immediate
ly, the arrival of a large contingent of
our forces in that country will be of
material moral aid to the hard-pressed
Italians.

Appropriations and Economy.

appropriations anu ECONOMY.
In his message yesterday the Presi-
dent said:
"And beg that the members of the
House of Representatives will permit
me to express the opinion that it will be
impossible to deal in any but a very
wasteful and extravagant fashion with
the enormous appropriations of the pub
lic moneys which must continue to be
made. if the war is to be properly sus-
tanned, unless the House will consent
to return to its former practice Of init
ating and preparing all appropriation
bills through a single committee, in
order that responsibility may be cen
tered, expenditures standardized and
made uniform and waste and dupica-
tion as much as possible avoided.
As is well known, the appropriation
bills were distributed as the result Of
q factional fight in the democratic
party growing out of the tariff. Samuel
J. Randall was the leader Of the pro-
lection faction, and as chairman Of the
committee which at that time prepared
al the regular supply bills possessed
great power. There was nothing to
show that he was exercising the power
In faetional spirit or to public detri-
ment, but the ultimate result of the
agitation was the distribution of the
bills among number Of committees,
thereby decreasing the power and in
fuenee of the appropriations commit
tee.
It is to be doubted if any saving to
the government has ever been effected
by the change; and now and then sug.

Increase the Paw Increases!

Failure by the heads of departments
to estimate for the and 10 per cent
pay increases for their forces should
not be permitted to initiate in the
slightest against the prospect Of cor
tinuance of this grant by Congress at
the present session, or an increase IN
the bonus Scale. 1t is indicated that
the appropriations committee of the
House is proceeding on the correct
theory that these increases must
be continued. The provision made
by the houses at the last session
was in recognition of a gravely press
ing need. The pay scale of the govern
ment employees was fixed over half a
century ago and stands at that point
today, as affects the great bulk of the
department workers. Meanwhile the
cost of living has advanced very great
~, especially during the past few years.
It is now so high that the average gov
ernment worker is on the verge of
actual poverty because his income will
not meet his costs without the sharpest
economies and the elimination of all
but the barest necessities.
When the proposal to raise the pay
scale was under consideration year
ago The Star protested vigorously and
continuously against the limitation of
the advance to a single year. 1t reeog-
nized that all the work to secure better
pay for the government force would
have to be repeated annually. Now the
ease has reached that point. Save the
District Commissioners no one has
recommended a continuance of the per-
centage increase, though there is no
reason to question the desire of the
department heads for re-enactment of
the bonus. Congress cannot, and un-
doubtedly will not, ignore the fact that
definite obligation rests upon it to
continue the pay scale as it was written
at the last session, even without specific
estimate OF recommendation.
Inc SiiSht pay lhCACdSCS STdAtCu III
the appropriations now current were
specifically in recognition Of the higher
living cost. That cost has not decreased.
Indeed, it has increased Whatever OBJ
legation there was in the spring to pay
the clerks more money remains today
unimpaired, and no doubt should linger
in any mind at the Capitol as to the
absolute requirement, as a positive
moral obligation, to extend the scale,
logically even with an increase in the
percentage of bonus.
Some day the government must re-
wise its scale permanently. It should
have done SO lcng ago. Perhaps it will
not do so while war is raging, bat it
can and should at least do for its own
people, upon whom it is more than ever
dependent in this crisis, what every pri-
vate employer does for his force, and
make it possible for them to live decent
1y and comfortably without shameful
pinehings and privations.
