Put Idle Money to Work.

W/HILE the House of Representatives is
w merely marking time, waiting for the Senate
to catch up, it might consider the Townsend
Maloney bill to increase the annuities of the
retired Federal employees. This need not tax
the reserve force of the members unduly nor
steal appreciably from their deserved relaxation.
Being here, they will naturally want something
to do that is worth while.
This would be both worth while and easy. 1t
is not an intricate difficult proposition. 1t is
but fair play and square deal to large number
of the former servants of the government who
ask to have paid to them larger portion of
their own money now held idle in the Treasury.
1t is money the employees of the government
have earned, that was withheld from their sal
aries. 1t is idle money that should be put into
circulation.
This is what is most needed just now. This
idle money would be used for living expenses
and would go into the current, paying over and
over as it passed from hand to hand, buying and
producing many times its gross amount. On
September O. there was balance of SI6,6S4, 900
in this fund of which one-half is invested in gov
ernment bonds. The total disbursements for the
year to September 1, were $3,8Ioooo.
1t is the judgment of experts that the surplus
is now sufficient to warrant doubling the annui-
ties and at that they would but provide the bare
necessities of life.
This government is not asked to pay the in
from the Treasury, but it is not believed
necessary, nor fair, nor required by good bus-
ness methods to further increase the surplus,
indeed to keep it at the present total This
is something the House may we'll dispose Of
during its present leisure and these thousands Of
men and women would then have greater ease
of mind because of gaining justice.

United States as MiddIeman.

- REAT BRITAIN used to be the worlds
NJ great mddleman. A large part OF her ex-
ports were first imports. She the international
distributor of raw and finished materials. Is the
United States to become her rival in this field, and
would this be an advantage, on the whole, or dis
advantage to the British? If this should be de-
velopment of the near future, it might be but tenn
porary.
Ponzi had scheme to grow rich playing with
foreign exchange But Massachusetts, manufac-
turer of wooden goods has better scheme in which,
too, exchange has its part. He has found that
certain grades of European woolens not suited for
this market, salabe elsewhere. The European
factors need materials and credit He can
supply these the British did. The manufactured
goods would pass through his hands to the markets.
The unusual value of the dollar in Europe would
help cheaper the price to him. The more stable
money of the countries of his patrons would help
the price he would get.
If this venture is undertaken and succeeds
there no reason it may not extend to many things
besides wooens. This country furnish the
credit to the manufacturers; it can provide the raw
materials; it advance the cash investment
taking low priced materials in payment 1t can,
also provide the credit necessary in making the final
sale. In other words, the United States is in the
old position of Great Britain-we have the money.
The remaining question is. if there is the will to
venture and build up the distributor middle
man country?
1t was on this the British built up their mer-
ing and kept for itself the carrying trade. The
United States could do this temporarily as to
distant markets. 1t might do it permanently to
South America. Anyway, it is interesting thing
to think about, and it may have tryout, piecemea
if not wholesale.

Commissioner Kutz.

THE HERALD believes the people of the
/ District will learn with very real and sincere
regret that Col Charles w. Kutz has been trans
ferred from the District Commissionership to
the regular service. If his had been an elective
vote and would have fully deserved such recog-
milton of genuinely devoted service. He has given
the District every day. the best that was in him
and this was a far higher ability more of un-
swerving integrity and dsinterested and wholly
impersonal judgment than it is the good fortune
of many cities to gain from their officials
The Colonel while most likeable has the typical
army mans absence of the popular arts He is
direct decisive and quick in conclusions He is
far from unbending, but what he believes is
right, is right and that ends the controversy.
He is not clam, neither is he fond of his own
voice, but he is clear in statement and equally
clear in his mental processes. He is the sort
of man one likes, when he refuses agree
ment because of evident sincerity and impersonaI
motive.
The District |owes him acknowledgment of
very valuable services outside the routine of the
large engineering projects undertaken during his
long term. AS head of the utilities commission,
he put in operation the utilities law Under
him, the utilities valuations were made Ii is
