LIVING UP TO IT'S TRADITIONS.

W10R years has been OF the distinguishing features
Il Of The Board Of Water Commissioners Of Whining
ton that partisan considerations have played little or no
part in its deliberations
Il has been regarded non-partisan body and the
commissioners themselves have done much to strengthen
that public view OF its status in our official life.
In that connection it is worthy Of special note that
although majority OF the members Of the board are
Republicans that majority yesterday elected James l.

the body.

tickets and soda fountain drinks and
other small affairs.
The Government is everywhere.
Yet as to helping along initiative,
stimulating enterprise or encourag-
ing production it gets nowhere.
Regardless OF this Democratic
and Republican Senators alike seem
to have it as their chief ambition to
enact more obstructive financial
legislation in the guise Of remedial
measures, which in the end will
mean more instead of less govern
ment in business and higher instead
Of lower taxes.
For every reduction in the per-
sonnel of bureaus left over from the
war there are half a dozen proposals
for new bureaus. boards and cor
