TEACHERS PAY
SMALL, He SAYS
Rep. Madden Urges In
crease In Salaries for
Pedagogues.

Higher salaries for teachers in
the public schools were urged yes
terday in connection with the pend
ing District Appropriation bill. Rep
resentative Madden. of Illinois, who
championed the measure, character
lied present teachers salaries as
niggardly and declared that no other
city in the country treated it's teach
ers so shabbily.
Salaries range from $500 to $3.50
per year" said Representative Mad
den. mo teacher ought to receive
less than $1,000 per year. They face
hopeless future. They spend long
years in preparation, live on starva-
tion wages. and cannot count on a
pension should they break down
from overwork as many of them
do"
Provision was made that no part
of the appropriation for the schools
should be used for the teaching Of
German. The House has made up
its mind on this point. although the
bill is still under consideration.
Appointments to vacancies in the
Board of Education will be made
by the District Commissioners in
stead of the District Supreme Court
according to a provision which the
House adopted. 1t was recommend
ed to the Appropriations Committee.

found memorial to the former
Kaiser in a deserted spot in the Ar

1t was on the edge of a ravine.
Thick bushes grew about 1t. Hun
dreds of soldiers passed near it and
never saw it. A French lieutenant
had lived four days in n dugout with

But in front of the stone memorial
the ravine formed a bowl which would
hold thousands of soldiers, and in this
bowl had gathered the flower of the
German army to be spurred to battle
by their war lord.

.B0LISH HALF
AND HALF PLAN
District Appropriation Bill
Railroaded Through House
with Few Changes.

Almost without opposition the
District OF Columbia appropriation
pill doing away with the half-and-
mar principle OF financing the Cap
ital. was passed by the House yes
terday afternoon.
In order to hasten the passage Of
the bill, Chairman Sisson, of the
subcommittee on District Appropria-
tions. obtained the consent OF the
House to dispense with the calender
yesterday. The bill went through
with practically no alterations OF
any Importance.
Although the bill as passed by the
House retained the clause dispens-
ing with the half-and-haIf system it
is thought probable that the pro-
vision will be eliminated by the
Senate when the bill reaches that
fody's hands, as a number of SEN
kRtors have expressed themselves as
opposed to the new legislation.
The bill contains-a clause broad
ening the control OF the District
Commissioners over educational
matters, giving them the right to
NIL vacancies on the Board of Edu-
cation. The power has heretofore
been vested in the District Supreme
Court
According to the provisions OF the
bill for the District schools no part
of the funds appropriated may be
used in securing teachers of Ger
man.
The clause which has been includ-
ed in previous appropriation bills
since 1915, reads as follows:
That no part of said appropria-
tion, or any appropriation herein.
shall be used for the payment Of
any teacher to give instruction in
the German language. or for The
purchase Of any books for use in
such instruction"

CO. PLAYS OFF
REVENUE FIGHT

Passage Of the $1,000. .OOo. 900 rev.
enue bill was made practically Ger
tain yesterday by an unexpected
change OF front on the part OF the
Republican Senators who had united
to oppose IL. They came to the con-
clusion that IL would be bad poll
tics" to block the passage OF the
bill, but may oppose certain features
Of it.
1t is expected that the debate will
run along for several weeks and
that the Senate will pass the bill
early in January. Amendments
made by the Senate then will have
to be considered in a conference OF
two committees before the bill can
be finally whipped into shape for
agreement by the Senate and House.
The Treasury Department is hope
full that the bill may become a law
by February i so that the forms
necessary for the collection OF the
taxes may be printed.
The new program adopted by the
Repu blican Senators is TO oppose
vigorously the sections in the bill
which FIX the taxes a year in sd-
vance and establish $4,000, 0oo, 600 -

June 30. 1890. These sections were

At tn time these sections were
adopted, Senator Boies Penrose and
others Of the Republican members,
declared that its adoption would mean
the defeat Of the entire bill and that

the existence of conscript armies on
the continent which inevitably rushed
the world into war. They could not
have great military machines without
tempting the men at the heads of
them to try their luck with those
machines. The Germans felt that
there was nothing to resist their
perfect military machines.
IF you want permanent peace; if
you want to prevent the horrors of
this war being repeated. you must
put an end to conscript armies on
the continent of Europe.
The first thing to do is to pre-
vent the repetition of the blunders
of the past by making it impossible
to have those great conscript armies
in the future.
