There Should Be No Strike.

Warning is given that if the Com
missioners accept and put in force the
per diem scale that has just been
recommended second time by the
District wage board there will be a
strike next week by the municipal
workers. The leader of these men has
declared that only the advance of the
difference between the proposed scale
aud the navy ward scale will satisfy
the per diem workers If. however, the
Commissioners have no more than
funds enough TO pay the scale now pro-
posed and will pledge themselves to
appeal immed lately to Congress at the
next session for an advance. Il strike
may be averted.
As The Star has stated heretofore =
strike by municipal workers. especially
those engaged in tasks affecting the
public security and health. is an
anomaly and Is not to be tolerated.
The District government cannot be
hampcred in lis efficiency for the safe
guarding Of the public welfare by such
methods of coercion and compuIsion.
Public sentiment will not indorse a
strike OF this character 1t is TO he
donbted, indeed. whether a considerable
number of these men will quit work.
even if Il vote is taken to that effect
They have made their appeal for a re
hearing OF the matter of the scale. il
has been very carefully reconsidered.
and the original decision has been re
affirmed. with the exception of a
minority report.
The Commissioners. while entirely
free in the matter. are likely TO ac-
cept recommendations of the wage
board as representing the best iudg
ment Threats of strike should NOT
affect the decision. If the strike is
ordered and the men quit in large
numbers others will surely be found
I" take their places, as the work they
do Is in a measure vitally essential
and II is not to be conceived that II
will stop.

Ineouitable Bond Taxation

There may be legal grounds for the
imposition upon the local banks of Il
tax on gross earnings which includes
in effect a levy upon the income de
rived from non taxable federal Sc
curltIes. A court decision has been
rendered in terms which possibly
justify consideration of this assess
ment as an excise tax or a franchise
tax. But the fact remains that by the
imposition of this tax upon gross earn

derived from government securities,

the United States. are subjected 10
an assessment upon securities that are
issued specifically in terms Of e1emp
ton from taxation.
The District banks rendered an in p
valuable service during the period of
war bond issue. They gave themselves
unreservedly to this work. Many of
them greatly hampered their own
operations IN order to do the utmost
for the successful fiotation of these So
curitieS. They bought large quantities
themselves. they offered liberal and
prohtless terms to their own de
pcsitors and patrons for the purchase
OF the bonds. and they gave gratuitous-
~ of time and service to the public
generally. As result. the banks were
instrumental in making Washington
notable among American cities in the
success of every one of the loans. and
since the closing of the fifth issue
these institutions have greatly helped
in the fiotation of the successive issues
of short term Treasury notes and Ger
tifeates.
Now these banks are to he mulcred

Gov. Cox's Task.

GOV. Cox is in doubt. as Mr. Harding
vas, about the length Of the speech of
acceptance. He fears making it too
long. And yet, as he says, it must
carry the story"
The story is very interesting, and
some space will be required. 1t must
cover a number of topics, and cover
them satisfactorily. Democratic stump
erS are waiting for their cues. Some
of them will start soon after the can
didate has spoken. and they will want
to be on safe ground.
GOV. Cox's task is a little more diff
cult than was that of his rival. The
democratic factions are little farther
apart than were the republican fac
tions. The Wilsonites and the Reedites
lack great deal of being near Ugh
bors. And Nebraska and New Jersey
are not more distant from each other
physically than are Mr.. Bryan and
Gov Edwards spiritually, so to say.
And yet, in some fashion. Gov. Cox.
if the thing is possible. must effect a
working arrangement with all factions.
He needs them. His campaign will in
evitably fail unless he receives the cor
dial support of all Ii any one of them
holds back, or shows only u languid in
terest in the campaign, he will suffer.
But Gov. Cox will not risk every
thing on single throw. If the speech
OF acceptance fails to score Us desired.
he will be able to detect the weak
places and strengthen them in his
speeches from the stump. His tour
will carry him we'll over the country,
and this makes certain that the num-
Der OF his stump deliverances will be
large
Still. the more readable and satisfac-
tory he makes his first deliverance-
that at Dayton next week-the better
it will be for him.

that no poorer Judgment was exercised
regarding the motives and mental proc

they would probably have won the
