The Kent Ripper" Bills.

The old Republican machine gang in
Kent county, undeterrcd by defeat on
| two previous occasions, has started q
move TO force through the special session,
| if possible. the measures by which they
| hope to oust the excellent DEMOCRATIC
| administration, which has been Endorsed
| by the voters Of the county, election after
election. And with unbiushing effrontery,
| the g.ngsters insist their purposes are
most altrmstic, and that they are actuated
| solely by a desire to improve adj
illustrative conditions IN the county.
But the people Of Kent county are not
affected by short memories. They we'll
remember the kind of administration
thev were afflicted with when the old
| Republican gang was IN control IL was
a record of inesTiciency and extravaganza;
Of no improvements worth speaking Of;
of Iaxity in tax collections and OF general
incompetcncy and Decentralization. After
enduring such maladministration until
patience ceased TO be virtue, they rose
in their might and incontinentiy kicked
the incompetents out OF power. And they
have since. on several occasions, persistent
" refused. st popular elections. TO allow
them TO again get their hands on the coun-
~ administration.
There is reason for this The Demo
cratic administrations Of Kent county
have been effective. prudent and econom-
ical They have resulted IN reforms. espe-
cially in the inauguration Of procedure
in tax collecting that is = lesson to the

SHIPPERS COME TO THEIR SENSES.

Take It all in all, no influence in this
country is more responsible for the des-
perate plight into which the American
railway system was driven than the or
ganized shippers of the country.
For years the shippers fought tooth
and nail every appeal OF the railway
managers and the railway workers for
an increase of traffic rates.
For years the shippers blockaded
the doorstep of the Interstate Commerce
Commission 10 elbow away anybody that
brought warning of the imperative need
of relief.
For years the shippers intimidated
administrative and legislative officers
of the government who wanted to con-
sder the matter with open minds, not so
much 10 give the carriers a squaredeal
as to assure an adequate transportation
service to the American people.
And for years underground politicians
and blatant demagogues fattened on the
retainers they could always get from or
ganzed shippers TO fight any proposal of
increased traffic rates to save the American
railway system from disaster.
Now the shippers know-know from
their own bitter experience-that starved
railroads cannot give good service. Now
they know that bankrupt treasures can
not buy rolling stock needed for existing
lines and cannot borrow money to build
needed new lines. Now they know that
the costliest thing alike for the carriers
and for the shippers, for the producers
and for the consumers, rs a run down,
inefficient, collapsing transportation
system that cannot haul the goods as
the welfare of the nation requires them
to be hauled.-New York Sun.

PAY OF ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS.

The present pay scale for officers in
the army and navy was adopted twelve
years ago. Since that time the cost of
living has increased 1O0per cent or more.
In addition we have fought a successful
war in which the officers of the regular
military and naval establishments dis
tinguished themselves first by creating
and training the vast forces we put in the
field and later by their eminent services i
the field and elsewhere.
During hostilities a large percentage
of these officers were advanced con-
siderably in grade, but with the ending
of the fighting and rehabilitation they
were denoted and arc now receiving
pay at the old rate adopted twelve years
ago. As result 2S per cent OF the trained
and experienced officers have resigned
their commissions in order properly to
support themselves and their families.
In January last the House of Repre-
sentatives passed a bill TO increase the
pay of enlisted men in the navy. The
Senate IN turn included officers of the
united services. This Senate bill pro-
vided an increase of about 80 percent
In the pay of officers. III is believed that
a majority of the House favors the Senate
measure, but Majority Leader Mondell
has opposed all action until last Friday
when reference TO the bill In conference
caused him to eDdeavor to have the bill

The Governments Z payroll constitutes
q scandal There are 100000 more en-
ployes In the Government service today
than there were before the war, and
there has been apparently no serious
effort 10 reduce the number Before the
outbreak of the war there were 81, ,90S
clerks and other civil employees Of tho
Government in the District OF Columbia.
This force was increased during the war.

armistioc was declared, II numbered III

reduce the overhead expense. but with
extreme reluctance. There still are 100
40 departmental employees in Washing
ton. A reduction OF only 2.S4O employees
has been made since October 81, 1919.
According 10 Chairman Good Of the
House Appropriations Committee, nv-
eral hundred acres Of temporary build
ings in Washington are still inhabited
by multitude of employees who have
little work 10 do.
If $4,000 employees in Washington
alone could be dropped without detri-
ment to the public service why have they
not been dropped? Whose fault IS It
that taxes are being imposed on the peo-
pie TO support all these thousands of
unnecessary and useless rotsiners? IL
smoothing less than robbery for the Govern
ment to spend the people s money in this
wav.
The Democrats may excuse good
deal Of war waste, hut there can be no
excuse for such postwar waste. II has
been up 10 department heads ever since
the armistice To demobiize their civilian
war forces. They cannot escape their
responsibility.
Neither can the Republican majority
IN Congress escape sts resp onsbility. Ii
the Republican leaders had not been so
busy tryng to strengthen their political
fences hv melodrarnatic methods and
appeals TO prejudice, they would have
had time to bring pressure 10 bear upon

Daylight Saving Interfcrcd With.

IL is apparent the cities that have made
movement for the maintenance of day.
light saving. through local enactn cnts,
will encounter much difficulty in securing
satisfactory results. 1t hardly socms pos
siblc to secure uniform arrangements for
the desired end in any place. There will
be Interruptions and interfcrences, due
TO the lack Of countrywide unanimity in
purpose and action.
One serious drawback to local action
is that local ordinances will not affect the
time schedules of railroads, or the busi-
ness hours of banking institutions. These
alone arc interferences which will prove
annoying. Manufacturing establishments
may conform to the daylight saving regu-
lations, and possibly this may make a
difference that viii be appreciated by
many persons.
But no satisfactory application OF the
daylight saving plan can be had without
it's extension throughout the country. by
act of Congress During the two years
of the operation Of tho law of Congress
the results were most satisfactory, espe-
cially to workers in the crowded cities.
1t gave them. in effect, an additional hour
each day for rest and recreation, and was
especially beneficial in the opportunity 1t
afforded to thousands to cultivate their
gardens and operate miniature farms on
vacant lots. thus increasing food products
and imparting great benefit to their ply
steal condition. The approval OF the sys-
tenn was woll-nigh universal-cxcept
among the farmers.
Many persons do not yet understand
why the farmers objected 80 stranuously
10 the system. It has been employed in
European countries for many years, and
no complaint came from the farmers there.
1t remained for the agriculturlsts Of this
country TO enter protest. Unfortunate
ly for the rest of the people, Congress lis
tened to the farmers and repealed the
law. And now thousands are disgruntied
at being deprived of their former most
beneficial and enjoyable extra hour of
daylight.
