The Latest Tip Is August.

The latest report about the tariff
situation in the Senate is that the
democratic leaders are considering the
advisability of permitting vote on
the Fordney bill early in August.
Why not? They have discussed the
measure sufficiently to show their OBJ.
jections to it. They have no measure
Of their own to offer. So why not
allow the republicans to take the re.
sponsibility they seek and transfer the
discussion to the stump? Early August
would insure three months Of such
discussion-enough for campaign pur-
poses.
The object Of the delay has been
accomplished. The bill cannot prove
itself before election day. The time
is too short. So that the vote in
November will be taken largely on
the strength Of assertions made in
Congress and on the stump for or
against the measure. and the demo
Gratis have asserted and will continue
to assert as much against the measure
as the republicans in its favor.
The republicans have promised
tariff revision and the people are ex-
pecting it. Everybody understands
that the conditions under which the
revision is being made are such as
involve an unusual risk in the work.
The intention Of the authors and sup
porters Of the measure is to help
revive and stabilize business, which is
under heavier depression than has
hitherto been known in this country.

Mexican kidnapping.

Bruce Bielaskfs experience in Mex.
leo ought to furnish enough Of excite
ment for q lifetime. Captured by
brisands while on a business trip in
that troubled country, he and a COM
panion were taken into remote place
In the mountains and held for ransom.
The friend escaped and Bielaski was
left alone with his captors. Overhear-
ing them talk about Staying him If
the ransom was not quickly forthcom-
ing, he decided to take no more
chances and slipped away with an ease
that. suggests that the kidnapers
were either amateurs at the game or
underrated American pluck and enter
prise. The fugitive prisoner made his
way to a town where he secured
help and then got to Mexico City un-
harmed. to find there the messenger
who had been sent with the. ransom
money by his business associates.
Mexican kidnapping Is much over
done. It cannot be continued indefi-
nitely. Just at present there Is 50
much Of it in progress that sus-
picion is felt that Obregon's enemies
are stealing Americans just for the
purpose of getting him into trouble
with the United States government.
There has been recrudescence Of in
surrection south Of the Rio Grande
lately, but the United States will
surely not fall for few "politicos'
who take the road and capture it's
nationals.
Obregon's government has main
tanned itself remarkably well. It is
now 80 substantially established that
recognition by the United States is
only a question of when certain guar
antees will be given from Mexico City
with respect to the safeguarding Of
American interests. Each side Is play.
ing q waiting game in which nothing
IL lost by delay. These recent crimes
do not reflect seriously upon the sta
bility or efficiency of the Mexican .ad-
ministration. In the light Of late
happenings in this country we are not
in a position to contend that govern
ment has failed south Of the border.

sii,cation no existing salary should
be reduced 80. r -
This provision was not In the bill
when reported by the civil service
committee and when 1t was passed
by the House. It had been laid be-
considered, and rejected. The bill in
the Senate now carries such pro-
vision. ~.
A second criticism is that in al!o-
eating employees to grades or classes
sush snt Latitude ss.H. is allowed to
agency as would perpetuate the ex-
!sting opportunity for favoritism. the
elimination Of which Is one of the
principal reasons for classification.
The bill. as 1t passed the House.
carried express direction as to what
OF salaries prescribed for a grade
was to be assigned to each individual
employe, and allowed no exercise Of
discretion in that particular at all.
Necessarily discretion must be
vested IN someone to determine in
positions belongs, but. that. having
been established. the bill. as it passed
the House, allowed no discretion in
assigning salary to any particular
Individual in the group. 1t was made
entirely automat:c--the salary was
crotdonary authority was taken away.
Representative Lehlbach says that
he has not had an opportunity to eX-
anime the Senate amendments with
sufficient care to- determine definitely
whether such discretion is permitted
under them, but IL 1t is, 1t was not
In the bill as 1t passed the House.
Another criticism was that the
measure enlarged tho system of lump
lump appropriations for personnel in
ntead Of developing the system Of spe-
cifio appropriations AS a matter of
fact, the bill as it passed the House
would result in this situation. that
when a request for an appropriation
for given number of specified emf
ploycs would be made. 1t was possible
to determine exactly the salary to be
paid each employe requested by re-
ferrlng to the salary schedules in
the bill, and thus the use of lump
sum appropriation and excessive pay
ments to favorite employees was made
impossible.
Criticism was also made that 1t is
impossible to estimate with approxi-
mate accuracy the cost of recla ssh
flcation under the bill. II this is so
it must also be due. Representative
Lehlbach emphasizes. to changes
made in the bill since it passed the
House. At the time of it's passage
tables of estimated cost were pub
lished in the Congressional Record,
which approximated the cost of the
revised pay roll with sufficient ac-
curacy for all practical purposes.

A Victory for SANITY.

danger to the underground and trees.
few people, make use Of them. and
most of the visitors leave their trash,
not even putting the refuse into the
receptaeles where the park force can
reach it readily and effectively.
There is no threat to close the parks
to picnic par ties. A fair rule has
been promulgated that persons who
leave litter Of any kind behind them
may be punished by fines. True, the
parks belong to the people and should
be open to them. But the very fact
that they are the property Of the
people puts upon their owners and
users the obligation to keep them
clean. There is no possible excuse
for dirt anywhere, whoever may be
responsible for cleaning up after a
party Of any kind. 80
The American people are inclined
to be slovenly. They throw refuse
about in the streets without any
thought for the feelings, or the comfort
or the health Of others. Fruit peelings
and peanut shells and paper bags are
scattered in street cars. Yet, as The
Star suggested the other day. these
very people would not treat their
homes in the same way. There seems
to be a disposition to have one rule
quite another rule for outdoors. Col.
Sheriff., to whom the people Of Wash
ington owe much for his thoughtful
ness in their behalf in the administra-
tion Of the parks Of the capital. feels
that there should be only one rule
OF cleanliness, and that the one that
should prevail in every home.

So an adjournment Il desired 10 the
9Th Of August. But the Constitution
Of the United States provides that
neither house shall during the ees.
sion o. Congress, without the consent
Of the other. adjourn for more than
three days, nor to any other place
than that in which they shall be sit
ting" Usually in such a situation the
waiting house manages its vacation
by taking three-day recesses, leaving
q small guard on duty to prevent legis-
lation and forestalling calls for a
quorum by agreement. This time the
three-day.recess plan 10 irksome and
the longer term is sought SO there will
be no need Of even a guard on duty
here. But how Is the consent Of the
other" house to be obtained? The
word consent" suggests that it is to
be asked. Yesterday, however. reso-
luton was presented in the Senate
that provided THAT the consent Of
the Senate is hereby given to an ad-
journment of the House Of Representa-
tives to Tuesday. August 8, 1922"
When the question was raised whether
the House had requested this action
it was explained that the resolution
had been drawn by House leaders, but
that they preferred that the Senate
take the initiative because it was
feared that If the House passed a
requesting resolution and the Senate
assented to 1t an adjournment might
be precipitated before the House was
ready; This was not particularly con-
vincing and the resolution went over
on objection that the request should
come from the House in formal fash
ion. In other words, the Senate. with
out vote, takes now the position that
the House must ASK to be excused"

Vox Populi,

If the coal miners and the owners
of the coal mines are wise they will
lend an attentive ear to the voice Of
President Harding calling upon them
to compose their differences, for it is
the American people speaking and the
President is merely the instrument
through which they articulate. As the
case stands, the selfish interests Of
half a million citizens are arrayed
against the vital necessities of more
than hundred millions, and the hun
dred millions do not intend that their
necessities shall be denied.
The public has been patient during
the months that the mine strike has
run its course and has been slow to
take sides. 1t has realized that, while
each side was able, to argue some
measure of justification for its atti-
tude, in a larger sense neither side
came into court with hands cleansed
of greed and SelfishneSS, and it has
known that no. question of principle
or vital interest sufficient to warrant
q nationwide suspension OF the
mining industry was involved. Re-
sisiance to reductions i'll wages or
cxmbitant profits is recognized as a
natural human attribute, and SO long
as such resistance did not imperil the
national wellbeing public opinion was
disposed to be lenient.
But. with cold weather three months
nearer than it was when the strike
began, the time has come when the
public no. longer can afford to take
a detached view of the controversy.
Production of coal must be resumed or
there. will be suffering and distress
when winter comes. The coal is not
imperatively needed now, but there
must be production and distribution
during July and August. for. even If
production was adequate later. 1t
would be impossible to transport the
coal in sufficient volume to prevent
a serious shortage.
SO the miners and mine owners are
summoned by the President to get
together and adjust the dispute with
fairness to the parties directly inter
ested and to the public. II they will
do this at once no great harm will
have resulted from the holiday" the
miners took. however little good it
has done them. If they will not. then
the government must exercise its
powers to protect the public, for the
very life of the people will be at
stake And both the miners and the
operators ought to be made to un-
ders nd. if they do not understand
it now. that the powers of the gov
ernment are ample to deal with them
promptly and effectiyely-and that
public opinion will support the gov
ernment in the exercise Of such pow
ers to the. full extent Of the necessities.
