PUT BACK IN BILL.
Senate Subcommittee Re-
stores System Of District
Appropriations to Measure.
CUT OUT BY THE HOUSE

The half-and-half plan of appro-
priating for the District of Columbia
was restored in the District appro-
priation bill today by the subcommit-
tee of the Senate appropriations COM
mittee in charge of that measure. The
action of the subcommittee in striking
out the line which was in the House
bill and restoring the half-and-half
plan is understood to have been
being entirely satisfied with the half
and-half plan. agreed that it was un-
wise to put the House provision in the
bill.
The formal action of the committee
today precludes the necessity for hear
ings before the committee on the half
and-half plan and follows the prece-
dent established by the subcommittee
ings. it struck out the House provi-
sion doing away with the half-and-half
plan.
Senator John Walter Smith. chair
man of the subcommittee in charge OF
the District bill. before the meeting
today said that the sentiment in the
committee was unanimous in favor
and therefore there was no reason fol
holding hearings on the subject. The
motion to restore the half-and-hali
plan was made by Senator Curtis -o1
Kansas.
The full committee is expected to ap-
prove the action of the subcommittee
on the half -and-hah plan. and the Sen
ate itself is relied upon to pass the bill
with the lf-and-half plan in it. Last
year the Senate voted by an overwhelm-
ing majority to stand by the half-and-
the House in this contention.
The committee began work today re-
drafting the bill. and will continue its
work tomorrow. 1t is the hope of the
committee to have the bill ready to re-
port early next week. Tomorrow repre-
sentatives of the school teachers will be
given an opportunity to appear before
the committee in support of higher sal
aries for the teachers.

UNMET NEEDS OF PAST
THEODORE W. MOVES.


Editorial Correspondence of The Star.l
The amount raised annually In the
past under the half-and-haIf law has
seldom, If ever, been more than
cient to meet the capitals needs in
current maintenance and in judiciOus
upbuiIding through great permanent
public improvements. Much more
than this amount could be wisely and
economically expended today upon the
capital in accordance with the stnnd-
ard set by other great American
cities.
The Commissioners estimates since
1909 no longer represent the real
needs of the District. The restrictive
law of 1909 prevents them from pic
turing the actual municipal necessi-
ties of Washington.
Study of the Commissioners esti-
mates and of the appropriations
based upon them for the years since
1900 disc1oses some interesting facts.
The law of 1909, restricting the
District estimates. became operative
upon the estimates of 1901. The
estimates of District needs for the
previous year, when the Commission
ers were not limited in the statement
of their honest convictions. were
SIS, 5,730.995. In the first year that the
restriction applied the estimates drop
ped to S11, SAB, and for six years
did not exceed sl3,000,000. Which of
these estimates represents fully and
which inadequately the Districts gen.
uine needs?
