Drawing Aside the Curtains.

COMEBODY in Australia proposes that the
y capital OF that progressive dominion be CEN
trally located in district i'll New South Wales
modelled somewhat after the District OF Columbia.
The District Commissioners in receipt OF let
ter from hackers OF this project asking for nfor-
nation on the organization and administration OF
the District government They to have an
idea that we live and pay taxes here unders an al
most ideal system.
To the men interested in the estab ishncnt OF
this almost mythical Canberra we in position
to offer some good adv;cc-look before you leap.
The method of administering local affairs i'll the
capital city of the United States is not ideal Dis
trct people sometimes become disgused they
brand their system OF government one OF the
most inefficient in the world 1t is not quite so
bad that-but very few OF us would advise the
excellent people of Australia, for whom have
nothing but the best OF wishes, to follow ex-
ample If were at war with Australia we might
employ a good advertising copy writer to prepare
for her officials a coorfu account of the Utopia
We live in. 90 to school in and pay taxes in. But
we are at peace, and consequently hope that
Mr. Garges secretary to the Commissioners uses
good Judgment in the letter which he sends to the
Antpodes.
The Australians fear political influence in the
affairs of their proposed capital. They want form
of government in which the intrigue OF parties
will be OF no consequence-n which everything
will be considered from clean-cut business point
Of view But we are they do not want sys-
tenn devised to bear the brunt OF the burden OF
party economy such as we have in Washington.
Let the Australians send delegation TO the
District OF Columbia incognito. When this party
returns we are confident it will want more OF
the system so much admired at present Let them
send if possible men with children OF school age.
Such individuals will be able to appreciate the dit
hcultics under which Washngton's educational sys-
tenn functions. Let them send. men who able
to Judge the condition of roads and streets. They
will carry pathetic story back across the wide
Pacific.
We know that writers on political and economic
systems sometimes describe the District OF Co.
lumba as an Utopia. We do not want the AUS
traians to be misled by such accounts. Rather
than let them model a city after ours. will tear
aside tho curtains. We will give them clear view
of the antiquated machinery. the petty politics. the
selhshness the lack OF vision and all the Other
drawbacks to a decent government in the capital
OF the United States
