Representative Fordney of Michi-
gan has introduced bill in the house
proposing a loan of $5,000,000 to Lii
IBERIA. The Liberians seem to want
the money and the president was in
the U. S. last year making an appeal
for it; but THE: APPEAL believes it
to be a dangerous matter. If the
money is loaned and not promptly
paid it will be an excuse for the
United States to go in and take pos
session, and thus get foothold in
Africa, and then Uncle Sam will pro-
ceed to mistreat and murder the Lii
berians just as he did in Haiti. The
.Liberians would do well to sidestep
that loan. .. .5.

much. North "Caliny" is great old

Kingston, Jamaica.-In the West
Indies, and not in chimerical repub-
lie in Africa, lies the opportunity of
the Negro race to take the next great
step forward in it's history. Jamaica.
at least, is becoming black mans
land, and the future lies rather in the
use to which the Negroes put their
power than in fresh influx of nor
thern blood and capital either from
England or America
Here, if anywhere, the Negroes,
whites and browns live peacefully to-
gether. There are no racial antipa-
tines. There are no riots or lynch
lngs. There are no crimes against
white women. The race question sim
ply does not exist; it is not discussed
as problem Here the Negro and
the mixed strains. may work their
! way upward from primitive Jungle in
hibitions and under conditions impos-
sible in the United States. @
:! feel more at home here" said
a black girl who had just come from
New Jersey. .~zs
Home of Agitator
Marcus Garvey, colored agitator
who attained power over the people
OF his race in New York and Chicago,
comes from Jamaica, but he is a
prophet without great honor here.
His people say that he should have re-
malned at home and worked. He
was here a few months ago with his
famous black star navy, but he had
trouble with his crew, and his doc
trines fell on deaf ears. He preached
that the colored people owe allegiance
neither to the British nor the Amer
lean flag, but only to the flag of the
Black republic.
Garvey was so seditious in his ex@
pressions here that the American con-
sui at Kingston refused to wise his
passport to permit him to 20 home.
but political pressure was brought to
bear at Washington, and he finally
left. :.
~~ Intelligent and Energetic
In this island Of 100000 inhabi-
tants there are over 100000 colored
persons only a few generations re-
moved from slavery. Between them
and few thousand whites there is
every graduation of color as result
OF mixture with Europeans. Those
that appear white are so considered
and accepted socially. They are high
ly intelligent and energetic, and but
for the facts that they consider them
selves superior to the blacks, which
sometimes irritates the latter, they
would be the natural leaders.
American industry is the chief one
here, and American medical work
under the Rockefeller foundation is
giving the first real ideas of SANTA
tion and public health.
American doctors are stamping out
the hookworna, and every peasant in
the hills knows the doctors in their
Fords. In some districts eighty per
cent of the people are infected.
There is great deal of religion,
but it has little effect practically.
Witchcraft is still common here.
There is little serious crime, there
being only three Of four murders in a
year: The schools are few and are
poorly attended. About $4,000 in
dentured East Indians are working on
the big sugar estates.

temporary purchase Of bonds was
made by the common school fund
which resold the bonds when mon
ey was received from eastern pur-

but $19,066 was received by resi-
dents Of this state who served in
foreign armies and received bonus
payments from them.
The largest number of rejected
claims was those who were not ac-
tual residents Of Washington when
they enlisted here; next are those
who received more than the
amount of their bonus in extra pay
for work in the spruce division.
The legislature will be asked to

half of them were paid before the
supreme court held such payments
Illegal, and to amend the law so a
number of other deserving claim
ants can get their money.

CANVASSING THE VOTE.

County officials made better pro.
greSs than usual in canvasSing the
vote cast this month, and it is like.
ly that the secretary of state will
have the revised state totals out
very soon.
The initiative bill repeating the
poll tax will take effect 80 days
after the election so though about
half this years tax is unsolicited
and due the state, the chances for
getting the money are growing
slim. It always will be debt
owed the state, however.
The constitutional amendment
on the fiscal year leaves it up to
the legislature to make the new
fiscal year begin July l, when the
federal governments last yeat
commences, instead of April as
at present. Before any changes
actually occur there must be legis
lative action. The amendment
permitting prosecution for crimes
on public conveyances in any
county through which such con.
veyances pass will make punish.
ment for such crimes possible. II

robberies and other crimes OF

PAUL'S PROGRAM
PLEASES PEOPLE
Plans Performance Pre-eIeC.
ton Promises Publicly
Proclaims Program.

Frank II. Paul, commissioner
elect from this district, with Will
liam A. Gaines from the city dis
trict, are already at work on de
tails for the policy to be followed
during their tenure Of office. In
an interview few days ago Mr..
Paul announced to the Ncws-Rcc,
ord some Of the things he has al
ready decided upon.
In the first place, he will cut out
all road bosses but two. He will
have one on the mainland and one
on Vashon-Maury island. These
men will draw straight salary by
the month-all other road work
ers will be paid by the day for ac-
tual days worked, and when the
job is finished the pay will stop.
Mr.. Paul announces he will APP
point c. H. Merry as road boss for
Vashon-M aury island and NJ. Il,
Hamilton will be appointed to
have supervision of all roads in
Mr.. Paul's district on the main
land.
Mr.. Paul showed some surprise
at the way the "road budget" had
been divided for the coming year,
1t appears that heretofore the
north and south districts divided
the road and bridge fund ON the
$3.50 basis, but it seems that for
the coming year it has been adj
justed on the Bryan basis of about
16 to l. 1t looks as if the $550,OO0
had been apportioned with $7S,-
500 for Paul's district and Sill
500 for Mr.. Dobson'S district. Out
of the $7S,500 that Mr.. Paul is to
have to eXpend it appears already
27,600 was to 90 for Doanhue
roads, something over $l1 900 for
emergency warrants, and about
$4,000 as the city's share, leaving
something like $31 900 to be spent
under Paul's direction. This
would be like a "bee in a bird
cage" as it would just about care
for office and overhead expense,
and build "a wooden bridge across
the stream Of signs.
But Paul shut his teeth togeth-
err, smacked his lips, and said,
"not on your life. I'm going to
have my regular half of the $780,
600 or there'll be a racket" And
when he said it the reporter was
convinced that he meant what he
said.
Among some of the plans of Mr.,
Paul for reducing county eX-
pense is the combining or annulng
of five heads: the superintendent
of garage, superintendent of docks
and wharfs, superintendent of
property, right of way agent and
superintendent of buildings. He
favors annulling the plan to furn-
ish county cars at county expense
to county officials, and would alb
olish the plan entirely. This would
close up the expense of the county
garage, the upkcep Of the ears,
o,,d +bn odi,,m of Cnmn Officials
Joy riding at county expense. All
in all, it looks as though he really
means to carry out completely his
plan to cut expenses to the quick,
and backed by Mr.. Gaines, we an
ticipate an administration of pub
lie business for the county in the
interests of the taxpayers who
took Mr.. Paul at his word, and
supported him for the office.

MILLER'S CUSTER THREAT

which deals with utilities rates aside
from transportation.
1T Is evident to me that the Governor
and his Transit Commissioners realize
the futility and hopelessness OF their So
called 'unifcation' plan and that they
now intend to evade responsibility and
get from under. The people. however.
will not permit them to do this. because
they fully understand the extent to
which tho'Governor and his Commission
ers have already gone to foist this plan
upon them, which plan is only a bizarre
combination OF obsolete surface railways
and higher fafes.
In order that the public may prop
erly appraise the value of Gov. Mil
ler's statements / will reply TO them
IN detail.
The Governor says. after referring
TO the Board OF Estimates attitude on
certain contracts rendered to it by the
Transit Commission: Now the DUTY
isterial. l have no doubt that a tax
payer certainly 10 party to the con-
tract, could compel action. =
Mayor Cites Decision.
THE Governor Is in error He should
know better. lie should. read the Mat
tor of McAneny, 232 n. ~, 377-3S9 (where
three judges reserved the question of
constitutionality on certain phases Of
the transit law, but where the pre-
vailing opinion explicitly states: The
commission is not authorized to make
any new contract or modify any con-
tract for the construction, equipment.
maintenance or operation of the rail-
roads or any OF them without the APP
proval or consent of the local author
ity, where such new contract
requires to carry ii out. the authoriza-
ton by the local authority of
corporate stock or bonds. :
This power is not merely min
isterial,' it IS absolute and vests dis
cretion in the Board OF Estimate with
respect to many particulars. among
others, price, plans and specifications,
form of contract, &C.
'One of the reasons for the reiectio,
by the Board of Estimate of some Of
these minor contracts was because the
prices became excessive, some of them
| being as much as 35 per cent. above
present market prices.
BIamcs Companies for Service.
''T'he Governor says that for the Ia ct
several years transit facilities in this
city have been going backward and
meanwhile the travel upon these lines
has been increasing at the rate of 1000
day..
Il agree with the Governor that the
number of passengers carried daily dur
! ing the last several years has Increased
and that transit facilities have been
going backward but this is only be-
cause Of the failure of tho companies
operating the city's subways to provide
adequate service and because OF the
failure Of the Transit Cowmission to
compel it to do so.
1T is because of these failures that
instructed the Corporation Counsel to
begin proceedings under the city's con-
tract with the Interborough on the
ground that the contract has been nulli-
fled by the Interborough company itself.
The Governors State Transit Commits
sior seeks through its 'so-called plan of
'unification' TO continLe the Interborough
II operation of the city's subway lines

result of its admitted contract viola

Economic conditions have changed

the larger traction corporations to-day
see a greater prospect of prosperity at
Il five cent fare under their own man
