Upon Commission.

George r. Wales of the Civil Service

lican, also defended the commissions 8

A New way t0Rule
the Unruly Dollar

AS A WELL-KNOWN editor
II remarked the other day, /
Something has happened to our
good old dollar bill. It still looks
like a dollar, all right, but it buys
like fifty cents"
In one of the most interesting,
as we'll as thought-provoHng,
articles that has appeared for q
long time
IrDing Fisher
Professor Of Political Economy
in Yale University
tells the real reason why we are
living on q fifty-cent dollar.
''It isn't the pro6teer," says Pro
fessor Fisher. AHe simply happened
to be the lucky winner in the lottery"
No; "profteering, = trusts, labor
unions, strikes, marketing by tele-
phone, extravaganza, drought and all
the forty other explanations which have
been offered have about as much infu-
ence on the 81. G. of L. as transform
has on the height of Pixies Peak"
What then? The real fault lies with
our dollar.
Professor Fisher proposes brand
new kind of Dollar, q most interesting
Dollar representing, not 25-8 grains of
gold nine-tenths fine, but:
Q board feet of lumber
1I2O of bushel of wheat
Il of pound of meat
30 pounds of coal
l10O of barrel Of white -four
pound of sugar
pint of milk
egg; l ounce of butter
IN Of an ounce of wool
= 4 Of a pound of steel
ounce of copper, etc.
And he's serious about this Dollar,
too. Furthermore, it has the approval
of many well-known men-Pesident
Hadley of Yale, Frank A. Vanderhp,
George Foster Peabody, Henry L.
Higgmsun, Roger W. Bahson, John
Hays H.mmoud, and many others.

Theodore Roosevelt,
the Father
1heRed Cross Magazine
.A:es,, for Oct0ber-Out To-day New: sn :'sss :ss
by BUD FISHER.

The simple philosophy of life that he
taught his boys is told in five short para
graphs, and it will fit every boy-yes, and
girl, too-in America.
The whole story is told as only this writer, who
is member of the Executive Committee of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association and who inti-
mately knew and loved Roosevelt, could tell it.
To every reader it will bring deeper appre-
ciation of this outstanding American character
and prove an inspiration.
While to fathers and mothers of boys this
story might well be worth the price of LIES
subscription to The Red Cross Magazine instead
of the paltry 20 cents the Octoberissue costs.

No Repeal BY Rider.

If the organic act of 1878 has out
grown its usefulness in respect to one
of the parties affected by it, it has out
grown its usefulness altogether and in
respect to all the parties and equities
concerned. 1t has not become anti
quated and out of date one-sidedly
and in spots.
The organic act is not brought I'D
to date and rendered wise and eouita-
bic merely by relieving the nation of
its financial obligation and pledge in
respect to the capital through repeal
of the half-and-half provision by
rider upon the District appropriation
bill.
The American principle of fair play
has not outgrown its usefulness. The
rule of legislative equity is not anti
quated and senile The doctrine which
enjoins extraordinary and sympathetic
legislative consideration when those
legislated for are not represented
among the legislators, is not out of
date.
These contentious are elaborated in
editorial correspondence elsewhere in
The Star.

District legislation.

While the District is naturally dis
appointed in having it's first "day" in
the House taken for general legisla-
tive purposes it yields Understandings
to the necessity for the speediest pos
sible pressing of bills that must be
passed before the LIST of July. There
is no suggestion in yesterdays proce-
dure in the House that the District
will be regularly denied legislative OPP
portunities. On the contrary, there is
every reason to believe that local meas
ures will receive full consideration as
nearly according to schedule as the
state of the calendar permits. There
is large accumulation of District mat
tiers that require attention, and the
House committee should have no diff
Guilty in keeping the local calendar so
we'll charged with material that the
House will have no justification, after
the LIST Of July has passed and the
pressure for time has been lightened,
in appropriating District day to any
other use. The District is glad to con-
tribute its time in the House to the
Purposes Of the immediate congressional
rush for which Congress was called in
extra session.
