Poor Government Housing.

The conditions disclosed in the an
nual report Of Col. L. Lester Jones,
director of the coast and geodetic sur
vey. affecting the health and welfare
of the employees of that bureau de-
mand immediate remedial attention.
Col. Jones states that more than a
third of the force Of his Office works
in rooms below the street level. The
bureau. he explains. is housed in five
different buildings. only one of which
is designed for its needs. Not only
is the health Of employees endangered
but the invaluable records Of the sur
vey are in constant peril owing to
risk of fire and the deterioration in
cident to improper storage.
This is type Of many other Of
fees in the public service in Wash.
ington. The quarters OF some of the
bureaus are in various makeshifts,
crowded, dark, il-ventilated and in
adequately appointed. Some of these
buildings are transformed dwellings.
Some OF them are quickly constructed
private buildings taken in a hurry for
government use and kept for a long
period.
1t is one OF the first principles Of
good business to give a working force
good Conditions in which to discharge
it's tasks. No organization can func-
ton efficiently against the handicaps
Of bad light and bad air, congestion
and inadequate filing and storage space.
Every person subjected to these con-
ditions is put under a strain that de-
pletes energies. A mediocre clerk can
do better work in good surroundings
than highly efficient one can in poor
quarters.
The government is losing money
steadily and In large sums by the con.
tinuance Of these unsuitable buildings.
In the case OF the coast and geodetic
survey. which does work Of exact.
tude, there should be the best Of quar-.
tiers. and the expenditure of. say. half
a million dollars at once on an ade-
quate new home for that bureau would
be an economical investment.

Mr. Harding on Disarmament.

This is from a Marion news story:
The President ELECT is not ready. it

disa rmament IS yet possible. or that
1t may be possible for many years to
come. particularly as regards naval
power His friends believe he looks
upon the possession of naval power
by this and a few other nations as a
possible guarantee OF peace. rather
than likely cause of war. He does
believe. however. that it is posi- BILE

Europe. to ease part Of their stagger-
ing load by reducing the size of

England had to have a huge navy.
She has always had one. She always

have been willing to pay for the ad-
vantage and distinction.

is no attempt at conservation. Unfor-

for this wanton sacrifice of growing

Partissnship and the Emergency

The relief sought Of Congress il not

sections and all interests are repre-
scented in the petitions. The capital
list, the age-earner, the farmer. the
manufacturer and the merchant are
seeking the ear Of the aw-mAlking
branch Of the government.
This, Of course, lifts matters above
everyday partisanship. A condition.

COMMON behalf. ~
It Is unnecessary to say that legis-
lators Of both parties are anxious to
serve. The requests come from those
to whom they owe their commissions.
The people are the source of power.
They give. and they take away
Mighty are the people!
AT the same time there are honest
differences Of opinion al to how much
in the way Of relief may be accom-
plished by legislation. and what form
or forms the legislation should take
An iilconsidered response might work
harm. when only good is desired and
would be intended. The people need

gress does not want to reply. with a

begins to look as if at this session Of

Of the new Congress similar action

Martens Goes.

The decision Of the government to
deport the so-called ambassador Of
is stated in language admirably clear
and conclusive. He had no diplomatic
status here. because he was never re-
oeived or recognized by the President.
He Is to be treated exactly like any
other alien temporarily within our
Jurisdiction. This makes his deporta-
tion not only legal, but compulsory
under the act OF Congress. The au-
fhorities are not ordering Mr. Martens
to leave the country because of his
opinions. He may be a communist or
anarchist. may believe in syndicalism
or the abolition of private property;
but he cannot, in accordance with our
, laws. remain In this country II he

The Senate and District Needs.

In it's consideration Of the District
DILL, the Senate committee on appro-
sriattons will doubtless take into &C,
count the fact that there Is a large
sarrearage of urgent local needs that
are not provided for even in the gen
aro,fS measure that has just passed
the House. Some increases are essen
tiai unless the District is to fall
farther back and dangerously into a
condition Of ine1iciency in this rnu'
nicipAl equipment.
The items Of permanent Improvement
Tor which Caddifi 5nal appropriations
are required are schools. water supply
and streets There are other needs
that demand attention. but these are
the most urgent. There is need CT
larger salaries for the entire District
once personnel. There should be i'm
mediate provision for park extensions
and for Fairgrounds. There should be
more adequate allowance for police
and IRE protection. In fact. all OF
the municipal departments require
moro funds.
- IN the CASE Of the schools at least
5000, 600 more is needed than is
granted by the House. although the
bill "a 1t is now written provides 81,
oss,7oo more than the current law un-
der this head Unfortunately. most
Of the additional appropriations grant
ed BY the House for the expansion Of
the school plant were Tor the compile

and they failed to provide sufficiently
for actual new buildings in addition
to those now ordered. The school
needs are not to be measured In terms
Of the coming year. 1t takes three or
four years from the point Of estimates
to the point of use to get a new build

growing. The present hope Is that
Congress will write this-bill in q way
