The World Brotherhood Congress.

The, World Brotherhood Congress
now sitting at Washington strives in
a great cause. The brotherhood Of
man has been an ideal Of many men
for many. ages. Progress has been
made toward that shining goal, and
it may be that human nature shall
be so modified that man will reach
that goal. The steps that the world
has made toward unity may be ex-
pressed in terms Of naturalization,
communication and religian. Multi
tudes Of warning tribes have become
nations and in every nation has there
been progress in the way of freedom
or the rights Of man. In the matter
Of communication, trade between ma
lions flows freer and in larger vol
ume than ever before in the worlds
course. National systems still build
hindrances to international trade on
the theory of lettering their own in
dustrial status and perhaps in the
still imperfect state Of things this is
permissible. Men travel more than
ever before and more men have &C.
quaintance with more nations. This
tends in many instances to wipe away
that national prejudice which might
be called provincialism, but also in
too many cases it tends to stimulate
ones own national conceit. Men talk
around the world by means of wires
and without them, and it is generally
harder to provoke people into war
than when their leaders were kings or
princes. Religion has had its chasten-
ing, unifying influence in bringing to-
gether in terms Of comradeship men
of varied types and mind. The reli-
gious influence expresses itself through
the centuries in one moral reform after
another, each making the world bet
ter place to live in.
The influence of this world brother
hood congress may be wide and last
ing. 1t may mark a stride in the di-
rection of the brotherhood of man.

Compensation of Commissioners.

In increasing salaries to do equity
and to meet in part the higher cost
of living the salaries of the District
Commissioners ought not to be neg
lected.
Omitting for the moment reasons
for increases based upon the high
cost Of living these officials are ridicu
lousy underpaid when the Importance
and diversity of their functions are
considered.
First they are the executive branch
Of the government of a great Amer
lean city, burdened with vast respon-
sibilities. and with the task of solving
problems that are often unique and
in respect to which they are unaided
by precedents on account of the Pc
culiar status of the National Capital,
the nations city. Next they are a
municipal legislature to the extent of
the ordinance-making power with
which they are intrusted by Congress.
Moreover, they are the Legislative
agents of the District. the territorial
delegates of the capital, before the
committees of Congress, and especial
ly the appropriations and District
committees. Finally, they perform
very important semi-judicial function
as Public Utilities Commission. 4
The element of self-sacrifice involved
in faithful service as District Com
missioners. though it cannot probably
be eliminated entirely, ought at least
to be radically reduced.
Increase of the Commissioners sal
aries must be proposed in their esti-
mates by the Commissioners them
selves. This fact ought not to embar-
rass the Commissioners for the con-
siderations submitted to Congress per-
tain solely to the office and it's func-
tons. and are not in any respect per-
sonal. But if the Commissioners are
embarrassed in any way that embar-
rassment should be dispelled by the
heartiness with which the capital COM
munity approves the increase pro-
posal and pushes it before Congress.

Gov. Coolidge.

Gov. Coolidge starts this week on
his first swing around the circle. His
itinerary will take him into Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina. Virginia. West Virginia and
Maryland He will, of course, meet
with hearty receptions all along the
line. The voters, men and women, are
turning out in great numbers to see
and hear the leading candidates. Mr..
Harding. Gov. Cox and Mr.. Roosevelt
have all been complimented by ex-
hibitions of genuine interest.
AS national quantity Gov. Coolidge
is but little more than a year old He
found his opportunity in the unwise
and unworthy decision of some Boston
policemen to abandon their posts of
salaries and conditions of service. and
he improved it SO well the whole coun-
try applauded. From that time dates
the high appreciation in which the
resolute official is everywhere held.
But while a new figure in the ma
tional field, Gov. Coolidge is a well
known figure at home. He had filled
several offices before reaching the
governorship of Massachusetts,, and
has filled that office so as to win warm
approval for other things besides his
stand for law and order in the mat
ter of the policemen's strike.
So that the man was there when
the hour struck. He had shown the
right quality in minor things. and the
major thing merely revealed him in
larger proportions.
If the republican ticket is success
full Gov. Coolidge will have still
greater opportunity. His chief will
take him into consultations about
party policies and test his judgment
about matters of national import.

Vanishing Sources of Taxation.

Welcome as is the present trend of
is not without the fly Of proverb. With
lower prices the profits earned by bust
ness and the incomes Of individuals
will be reduced. and the result will
b serious shrinkage in the income
Of the federal government.
A statement just issued from the
Treasury shows that during the fiscal
year ended June 80 last the taxes col
lected amounted to $5,40S. 075 ,46S. of
which approximately three-fourths
came from profits and incomes. 1t is
impossible. Of course. even to estimate
what effect ON profits and incomes the
defation Of prices will have. but when
a source Of taxation that yielded four
billions Of dollars a year begins to dry
up, it necessarily must give statesmen
pause.
When Congress reassembles in De-
cember 1t will face the problem of
providing for the cost Of government
through another year. and the prom
ises Of economy which have been made
during the campaign will be presented
for redemption. One Of the very first
acts Of Congress should be to repass
the budget bill. which failed at the
last session because Of trifling diff
ference Of opinion between the Capitol
and the White House.

The Farmers Ok and Others.

When the coal miners and the rail
way employees withheld or threatened
to withhold their labor from the mar
ket thereby increasing the scarcity
of essential commodities and increas-
ing the cost of living, American farm
ers We're among those who denounced
them most vigorously. Farmers join
ed heartily in the demand that the
miners and railway workers should be
outlawed and imprisoned.
The farmers OK was being gored.
and he not only was keenly alive to
the sufferings of his own beast, but
he had fellow feeling for the owners
of gored oxen everywhere. He stood
ready to support legislation by the
nation and the states making it I'M
lawful for workers to combine to hold
back their labor for the purpose of en-
HANGING the price of it.
Today the 10000 farmers who are
members of the Wheat Growers AS
ISOLATION of the United States are or
ganiZing to hold back their wheat
market until the price is forced up to
So a bushel. This would artificially
create scarcity in an essential COM
modify and would add many hundreds
of millions of dollars to the cost of
living.
If what the wheat growers purpose
doing has virtues which were lacking
in the programs of the miners and
the railroad men, the OK Of the aver
age citizen, which catches it going
and coming, is unable to discern the
ethical distinction,
