Treaty Engagements.

TT is not far back to the riots in New Orleans
which threatened serious complications with
Italy. 1t is not so long since like occasions in the
west brought vexIng negotiations with China.
There have been a number of incidents within the
states, which have directly affected international
and treaty engagements, yet the government had
no legal right of interference within the states,
where they had their origin.
There is question of the governments moral
liability for outrages against foreigners which occur
under state jurisdiction. This has been admitted
several times and indcmnities paid without legal
ment has the right to punish those who commit
such ofenscs in violation of treaty agreements, but
this right has been formulated as law.
Senator Kellogg has introduced bill to
convert this right into law The constitution itself
makes treaties supreme law of the land" taking
precedence over state law and notwithstanding
state law. 1t is sometimes impossible to punish
under state law, those guilty of outrage against
foreigners or to compel through state action due
regard for the rights of foreign residents This is
distinctly national obligation and should be
.tionally undertaken.
The wonder is that putting such law on the
federal statute books has been long neglected
Senator Kelloggs bill has the Endorsement of the
National Bar association. 1t follows decisions of
the supreme court. 1t is what should be to uphold
the good faith the dignity and honor of this gov
ernment. No opposition has developed to it and
probably will.

GRAIN men NDORSE|
FARMERS Aid PLAN
Confer With Hoover and Wal.
lace on Adding Stor-
age Facilities.

The feasibility of a new plan for
warehousing grain. thus improving
the position of the farmer. was
agreed upon here Monday in a
conference called by Secretaries
Hoover and Wallace and attended
by 80 men representing every phase
of grain production.
As result of a conference last
ing almost the entire day. a ques-
tionnaire will be submitted to q
wide range of farm interests and
detailed opinions obtained for the
development of the scheme proposed
by Secretaries Hoover and Wallace.
A committee representing the
American Farm Bureau federation,
the millers. elevator men and in
.surance interests was named to pre-
pare further recommendations for
the development of the plan.
The proposal is to create unlim-
tied storage facilities for the farm
er. under system whereby he may
receive a warehouse certificate for
his grain that would pass as an
order for delivery. Such a plan,
1t is stated, would increase the farm
er's borrowing power and relieve
him of the pressure OF selling his
grain, except at his own option.

Delinquency of Speech.

no NOT be discouraged. There must still be
l. left movement which you start. 1t
takes agile mind to discover new subject, or
another detail overlooked by those who inn
mersed in saying Americans from their delin-
quencies. But every day another bobs up there
must be more.
One OF the latest is rebirth rather than a
creation. 1t is the National Association for the
Improvement of American Speech. No one will
deny the need of the improvement question
that the crusade may we'll begin in Chicago, from
where it breaks into newspaper fame. 1t was Chi
eago that put its approval at is me- and like
iconoclasms
- But why this movement outside the schools?
Why not in the schools, where frequently little at
tention is given to the use of language. out
side the language lessons, and with not too great
stress even there? 1t might invade the Washington
schools, where formal grammar is still taught in the
lower grades. but probably neglected in its appl-
cation elsewhere, as is rather school habit.
Correct speech is largely product of correct
thinking. Careless speech is handmaden of care
less or sloppy thinking. When person thinks
straight hes usually speaks in simple. clear, correct
English. 1t will be found that those and
women who have had little school training but have
developed their natural endowment of clear think
ing. speak usually with correctness.
This swould indicate line of propaganda for
this association within the schools 1t might even
hint that its processes would have to be through
training. and not through Grating. public appeal or
platform insistence It might suggest that personal
prominence logically follows. rather than precedes
any reform. coming from performance rather than
mere purpose

FREE CANAL TOLLS
BILL is REPORTED

Revival Of the controversy with
Great Britain over the question II
free tolls for American vessels us
ing the Panama canal may result
from action taken by the senate
committee on interoccanic canals.
The committee Monday report
edy favorably the bill offered by
Senator Borah, of Idaho, providing
that no tolls shall be levied ON
American vessels engaged in
coastwise trade. Favorable action
on the measure is expected.
Measures which would have pro-
vided free tolls for American vessels
in transoceanic trade. as well as
those engaged in coastwise traffic,
were held up at the suggestion Of
Borah, who said he thought it wise
first to ascertain the sentiment on
the narrower question
An act which exempted American
vessels from paying tolls was re-
.pealed in 1914. in response to n
message from President Wilson.
Arguments for repeal were based
on the British contention tha.
American vessels should be on the
same terms as those of other ma
tions, under the Hay-Pauncefote e
treaty.

Redistribution. Y
THE broad distinction, as we see

THE broad distinction, as we see it. between
the Sterling and the Smoot bills is that the
- iormer-.is from the civil service committee
and tbe latter is from the finance committee The
former approaches and works out the problem from
the service side and the latter from the finance
side Senator Sterling bases his bill classical
ton according to service groupings Senator Smoot
bases his bill on salaries grouping under the
amount to be paid, the work corresponding to the
salary in value to duties, responsibility required
training and, presumably, length of service as in
each instance the minimum and maximum range of
salary is specified
The list includes IS grades. 1t starts with
grade one having salary range of $500 to 5000
year, not to exceed 80 cents an hour At 80 cents
an hour with the eight-hour day. the pay would
be just over S748 year, while this class practically
limited to charwomen, are not permitted to get
over 5000. The next grade messenger BOYS, are
classed under a pay range of from $54o to S72o
But messengers with more responsibility may come
under grade four with pay ranging from 5000 to
SI,z6o.
In other words Mr.. Smoot specifics the salary
and then groups the employment, duties ability and
training required to the specified amount
When this salary range reaches Sr.I4o to SIsoo 26
different specifications required tell the char
acter OF service coming under this grade Under
the salary grade Of $3.50 to $780, there are "a
specifications descriptive of the required service
Under the next grade, 500 81 S6o there are 20
service heads including pretty much every kind
from supervising large force of unskiled laborers
and the skilled trades to stenographers, cashiers
translators and scientific or professional work
So the succeeding grades require rather more
elaborate detail to duties kind OF service but
are less numerous, the pay increases Grade II
has but two subdivisions. The pay is from $500
to $500 for chief law officer, head of a major
subdivision of technical, scientific or professional
organization etc, while the final grade No I8 at
the one salary of $500, higher being allowed
includes the top-notchers who graduate from grade
~ 1t is evident that the novtiate having found
the grade where he starts, may have to chase him
self, as it were, through number of subsequent
grades to discover the ultimate of his hopes
The bill applies by its own provisions only to
civil employees within the District and excepts from
them the skilled working force in the government
printing Office and bureau of engraving and print
ing and the commissioned and enlisted personnel
of the coast and goedetic survey coast guard and
public tealth service. But the President may ex-
tend il to all civilian employees in and without the
District and the municipal government of the
