Everybody wants the budget sys-
TEN except congress" remarked Con-
gresham Kitchin in discussing the adj
vantages of that system as a restraint
upon extravaganza. As matter OF
fact very few people care anything
about q budget system and still fewer
know what il means. The fact Is that
our appropriations go in the most hap
hazard manner Every division, every
bureau. every department of the gov
eminent. tries TO get all the money 1t
can and makes eXtravagant estimates.
A few men in congress try to cut these
estimates down and then congressman
from various states and districts do
all they can to increase the appropria-
dons. especially if sums are to be spent
In their sections. Then the senate
still further increases the apprOpria-
lions. That has been going on for
more than a quarter of a century.
There may be a few people VINO
recollect how astounded everybody
was when billion dollar congress de-
veloped. In few years nobody SEEM
cd TO care because the billion dol
lars came every year instead OF
every two years. The increases have
been going on steadily. AS TO the
budget system, 1t is doubtful whether
if would have any effect. 1t is more
than probable that if all the appro-
priations were put in one bill it would
become very vast "log-rolling" meas
ure and contain so much that nobody
could tell what was meritoriOus and
what was pure extravaganza The
only thing that will call halt upon
these extravagant appropriations is in
ability of the people to pay the taxes.
When they revolt congress will revolt
with them.

III the DISTRICT or COlulnDla, eSpe-
cially the many thousands of new
clerks who have been gathering here
for the year past and are continuing
to come, is one that is getting rather
serious. The demand for workers of
all kinds has crippled the domestic
service in Washington. Women who
were cooks and maids in private fam
lilies are now running elevators or do
ing other kinds of work at good wages
in government departments and bust
ness houses. The restaurants are
overcrowded and are without sufficient
help to do the necessary work to pre-
pare and serve food to all the Gus
toners.
It may become an actual necessity TO
carry out what many people have rec
commended. that is, the transfer of sew
eral bureaus from Washington to 9th
er cities. During the influenza epi-
,demic ii came to a point where an or
der was issued by an official of the
war industries board TO automobile
owners that they must carry the war
workers TO and from their places Of
employment in order to relieve the
congestion on the street ears. Not
only are the war workers greatly in
convenienced by this congestion. but 1t
has become serious situation for the
regular residents, who suffer not only
on account of the greatly increased
prices of supplies which they pur-
chase, but because they cannot get
help to do the work about their houses.

But now forty-eight stars appear.
Thus our Union is constantly growing
Forecasting the flag next unfurled

POLLYANNA CLUB
GIVES BENEFIT DANCE

A most successful dance was given
Wednesday night in the City Assem-

The dance was a benefit affair and
was under the auspices of the Girls

anna Club is one of the groups.
Music was furnished by an orches-
ira from the Naval Academy Band.
The dance, which was very largely
patronized. was chaperoned by Mrs.

of the Girls Patriotic League. Dur
ing the evening fruit punch was sold,
and a good sum realized in this man

PLENTY OF WHEAT.

The most cheerful food news the
world has had for a year is the latest
wheat estimate for the United States.
The Food Administration announces
that we have ground for hopes of
plenty for ourselves and our allies,
and instead Of famine we can look
forward to an entirely different eco
nomic situation this year from that
which confronted us in the summer of
1917
It is agreed by crop experts that
our winter wheat viii amount TO at
least 100000 bushels more than
anybody previously dared to forecast.
The winter crop alone will be as
great as our entire output last sea-
son. and perhaps greater. Mr.. Hoover
is convinced that our spring wheat
viii yield 20 or 30 per cent more than
last year The total expectation is be-
tween S00.0O0.O00 and 900000,00
bushels That will amply provide for
our own wants and leave an export
surplus of 100000, 900 to 100000, 600
bushels for our allies. The outlook in
other allied countries is improved
too
For the present there is need OF
greater economy than ever in the use
OF wheat But it should be easily
borne because OF the knowledge that
the emergency will soon be past.

SHIP PREDICTION.

The country's disappointment over
the failure of the aircraft program is
softened by the marked improvement
in the shipping situation. The dole
full period of preparation and post
ponemCut is past. and today we are
really building ships
The April output was 100000 tons
At that rate we should have a total
of nearly 100000 tons for the cur
rent year. But such figure would be
an unreasonahly small expectation, in
view of the facts at hand. There has
been a steady increase ever since the
beginning of the year We have pro-
duCed. in successive months. $1,000
tons. $4,000 tons. 10000 tons and
100000 tons The April production
was three times that of January. 1t
was about so per cent higher than
that OF March And two-thirds of il
was turned out in the last half of the
month, showing the marked upward
trend at the present time May will
greatly surpass April's record.
There is no visible reason why the
Improvement should not continue
steadily during the summer and fall.
Weather conditions are favorable dur
ing these months. transportation is
improving The industry is now en-
ploying $4,000 men. and has a plenti-
full reserve subject 70 instant call
The men are working steadily. without
strikes. and vying with each other for
efficiency records. New shipyards are
continually being completed. new
ways being utilized.
The ability and personal influence
OF Charles NJ Schwab. now in charge
of production. insures a plentiful sup
ply of steel plates and a speeding up
all along the line The fabricating
yards. which have not vet come into
commission. will add a big and in
Creasing contribution. When all the
ways for steel and wooden vessels are
completed. as they will be within
few months. we shall have 7S0 mer-
chautment under construction at once.
That is more than three times as many
as there are altogether in Great Brit
ain and ireland. And as for individ-
ual building speed what is possible
may be inferred from the fact that
Seattle yard recently delivered an
S.SOO-ton ship in 109 days after the
keel was laid.
shipping men are now talking of
100000 tons for 1918. That looks
reasonable. And it may come to a
good deal more than that. As for 1919.
nobody can foretell But we may be
sure that the output will at least dOu-
BILE this years.

A Bad Beginning

Blame for the botched opening of the
"H" subway seems to be fairly distribu-
table between the public that had not
learned its new lesson thoroughly and
the railways that were very far from
ready for q smooth handling Of the
great shift. There is no reason to think
that a few days will not rectify the dam
gerous confusion of the past twenty-four
hours and yield us all the comfort and
blessings we have been hoping for these
many years.
The railways shortcomings were many.
The excessive strain on the "H' shuttle
should have been foreseen and taken
care Of. 1t is the plan Of the new system
that this link will be used sparingly-
greater convenience will result to pas
sengers from taking the proper through
train whenever possible. But this read
justment will take time, and the shuttle
must do extra work until the education
Of the public is complete.
There was also sad lack of signs in
the new stations. Surely, in handling
these emergency crowds emergency signs
should have been prepared. Mr.. Shonts
might even have given up his precious
Subway Sun" to explaining the new
system to his readers and telling them
exactly how to avoid the confusion of
the opening.
To the public the first and last warn
ing must bes to avoid using the Forty
second Street shuttle whenever possible
Walk at your home end or at your office
end, but take the through train, The
distance afoot will be small-little more
than at present in most cases. The saw
ing IN time and annoyance to yourself
will be great. And you will be helping
to place the city's new system on safe
and comfortable basis for all.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-03

preceding eight months, had come to
look forward to the Constituent Assem-
bly, much as children look forward to the
word fnis at the end Of difficult lesson
book. In every country it is
only a small minority that really con-
Germs itself with politics. Outside that
minority is big, unconscious voting ma
terial which asks nothing from its gov
ernment except to be let alone. This
Indifferent mass, which took very little
part in the living politics Of the Soviet,
was ready to vote for the Constituent
Assembly"
This Indifferent mass voted so heavily
for Constituent Assembly of modera-
ton that the Bolsheviki were beaten.
The Bolsheviki refused to abide by the
vote and torpedoed the Constituent AS
sembly. That is what any one would
understand. But hear Mr.. Ransome ex-
plain what happened romantically:
"The question was plain one," he
says: "Should the conscious workers Of
the country submit to the dead weight
of the unconscious?"
The answer was no. The conscious
Bolsheviki must live; the unconscious
moderate Constituent Assembly must die.
What monstrous formula to be de-
Tended!
Your Bolsheviki, pretending to repre-
sent the will of the people, are outvoted
by the people. Then what happens?
Do the people get what they voted for?
No. The leaders of the Bolshevik
minority say to the people: "You are in
different. You want a quiet life. You
are the unconscious part. You are an
inert mass. Your votes shall not count
We are the conscious part This is de-
mocracy."
Mr.. Ransome's "Open Letter to Amer
ica" is a high example of how, with a
little yearning and a tendency to altru-
ism in politics, one may be made utterly
mad by contact with the Russian mas
querade. Archaic emotions come clothed
in modern dialectics and reason is rep
resented as braying ass
