Philippine independence.

An old-time ditty may be drawn
upon for the substance Of the Presi-
dents reply to the visiting Filipinos
asking for immediate independence
for their country: There's a good
time coming, boys. Wait a little
longer"
How much longer the President
does not say. He could not we'll say
at this time. The question remains
where at present it properly belongs
on the knees Of the gods.
The temper and taste Of the reply
are admirable. The Filipinos are COM
plimented on their aspirations, and on
the progress they have made under
a rule and tutelage giving them hope,
and assured that while that rule and
tutelage continue their interests will
continue to be carefully guarded.
That the President feels concern in
the matter and the full weight Of his
responsibility is attested by his course.
He would not act until an investiga-
ton Of conditions in the islands had
been made, and he appointed for the
work the most competent men avail
able. both Of them familiar with the

BILE, but which traverses g constitu-
tional limitation.
Herein lies the vital importance OF
differentiating between court and
presidential veto. In overriding the
latter Congress rnerely asserts its
Judgment over that Of the executive
as to the policy or expediency or
equity of the measure. If it is to
pass laws even by two-thirds over
court veto it becomes the sole agency
for the amendment Of the Consti-
tuition, eliminating the states, three
fourths Of which must give their as
sent to any changes. For. if Con-
gress can pass a law over the courts

work any change whatever in the
organic law.
II the constitutional methods of
amending the fundamental law are
TO be modified it may be possible to
invest Congress with the power OF
re-enacting laws declared unconstitu-
tional. But any proposal to amend
must go to the states for ratification,
and it is extremely doubtful whether
the states will ever assent to the loss
of such a vitality important preroga-
tive as that of passing upon the con.
stitutionality of laws rejected by the
courts.

Fair Play in Accounting.

Washington welcomes the prospect
Of an impartial search for equities In
favor Of the District, arising since 1878,
through disobedience Of the organic act,
like that which has already been made
to unearth alleged equities against the
District in favor of the United States.
To offset the anti District accountants
whom the District was compelled 10
pay in 1911 and 1914 to discover
alleged items Of past Indebtedness on
its mart. there should be District ac-
countants who could not only dig up
District equities prior to 1878, II the
examination antedates that year, but
work out carefully the millions due
the District on account Of violations
by the United States since 1873 OF
sanic act. The only District Of Column
bia taxation authorized and directed by
the organic act is that to raise one-half
OF the amount of District approprla-
tions previously made by Congress.
If the law is followed there Is no pos
sibility of surplus of District money,
unmatched by United States dollars.
Indeed, the latter are, under the law,
put up first. But in practice Con-
gress has repeatedly collected more
in District taxes than 1t has matched
either before or after the levy, and has
sometimes expended the surplus with
out duplication, in violation of the law.
The account OF such expenditures
should he stated; some one represent
ing the District should be among the
accountants and the amount found in
equity to be due the District should
be credited to II.

Rate by Mail-Payable in Advance.
No Slurring Determinations.

The provision of the new fiscal law
which disqualifies accountants resi-
dent in the District from employment
by the joint select committee to make
the surplus investigation is not
found in the words of the new law
itself, hut is buried in section 9 OF the
act of 1874 creating a board of audit
for claims against the bankrupt DIS
trict. which is made by reference
part of the new fiscal law in fixing
the qualifications of paid accountants
A provision which in 1874 was
reasonable precaution to protect both
District and nation against private
claims, many Of which were fraudu-
lent, is an undeserved slur and Grip
ping denial OF justice when applied
20 the trial Of a case i'll equity in
1922 between the District and the
United States by tribunal named
solely by the United States.
The special joint committee is TO
ascertain whether today's tive mil
lions surplus credit Of the District
is to be decreased or increased when
the opposing equities Of the District
and the United States. which were
in existence in 1874. or have since
arisen, have been judicialy compared
and adjusted.
There should be no discrimination
of any sort against either OF the
parties to this controversy over equi-
ties. unless it be in favor OF the i'm
potent party, to hold in just check
the all-powerful. II one party is pro
sided with special counsel, so should
the other. If Il member Of Congress
intervenes as volunteer counsel tor
the United States, another should in
tervene as volunteer counsel for the
District.
The District pays so per cent and
the United States pays 10 per cent
of the expenses OF this tribunal, in
cludiag the employment Of account
ants. If accountants are disqualified
because they reside in the District,
SO also should they be disqualified II
they reside in the United States. II
accountants are appointed TO search
especially for equities Of the United
States, so should also accountants be
appointed to search for equities of
the District.
This ghoulish preliminary unearth-
Ing Of disqualification OF District
accountants buried in section 6 of an
act of 1874 repealed in 1870 is SYM
bolic Of the repellant task to which
the joint select committee Is invited
of resurrecting the dead, buried and
decayed alleged indebtednesses of the
remote past and OF causing them,
revivified, to stalk in their grave
clothes as noxious disturbers Of the
fiscal relations of today.

Columbus Bill of Costs.

From the diary of Columbus and
from other papers found available for
his purpose, German statistician has
estimated at $3.50 the original cost
of the discovery of America The
figures impress US as furnishing an
amazing example of explorers thrift.
It has to be considered, however.
that the expedition OF discovery es-
capped by several centuries the handi-
caps to transatlantic travel in this
direction, now imposed by the i'm
high cost Of housing. Not even pass
port fees had to be taken into account
for the excursion of 1892.
Admiral Columbus himself drew a
salary of 1920. according to the In
formation gathered by Herr Field

regulatory body to interfere with this
munificence of reward. The crews
Of the fleet were content. it appears,
on stipends of s29.25 per man.

pie.

the Columbus enabling fund was Sc
cured largely through the pawning
of the rings and necklaces Of Isabella
of Spain. If Ferdinand's queen is
able to look from somewhere down

Congress and the Constitution.

simultaneously movement for the
amendment Of the federal Constitu-
tion in respect to the right Of the Su-
tutional has been started in the an
nual convention Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and in the Senate.
At the Cincinnati meeting a program
Of four proposed amendments, includ-
ing one to this purpose, and three
legislative measures along generally
the same line of court re stri, tion wa
proposed and will doubtless be adopted
when all the speeches in favor of 1t
have been delivered. In the Senate
Mr.. La Toilette declared his intention
to propose an amendment along the
same lines. There is apparently a
difference between the A. F. L. and
the La Toilette plans. The fedora
TONS suggestion is that il the Su-
preme Court decides that an act of
Congress Is unconstitutional, or by
Interpretation asserts a public policy
at variance with the statutory decla-
ration Of Congress, then il Congress
by a two-thirds' majority repasses the
law it shall become the law Of the
land. The La Toilette proposal Is
that Congress may merely re-enact
the law sin the regular constitutional
manner" and it shall thereafter be.
come effective in spite OF the veto OF
the court.
The federation's plan is to put the
courts rejection upon the same basis
as the Presidents veto by requiring
two-thirds to pass 1t anew. The La
Toilette plan requires merely a ma.
jority vote, unless the author means
a two-thirds vote by his use Of the
phrase "in the regular constitutional
manner"
In either case the proposal to regard
the courts decision as a veto to be
overcome by re-enactment fails to
take into account the difference be.
tween a presidential veto and the
courts rejection. The President may
veto an act Of Congress on grounds
Of policy. public or political. He may
regard it as inexpedient or untimely.
He may reject 1t on the score Of econ.
omy, or because Of some flaw of jus.
tice or equity. The court, however,
rejects q law because in its judgment
Il does not square with the estab.
lished principles Of the Constitution.

Cuba and America.

The Havana newspaper which has
worked itself into fury against the
United States has made some interest
ing discoveries.
The first is that the revolt against
Spain would have been successful!
without the support OF this country.
And yet al the time the support took
place the fortunes of the Cubans We're
at low ebb. The revolt seemed doomed
to the fate previous revolts had met.
Spain's hold on affairs was strong and
unshaken until the United States de-
clared for free Cuba.
The second discovery is that the in
tervention of the United States was
dictated by selfish considerations; that
what this country had in mind was
securing control of the island for its
own purposes. And yet when Spain.
under pressure from the United
States, had withdrawn and the island
stood completely at the mercy of the
United States, and could have been an
nexed as Porto Rico was, American
control was in a short time brought 10
a close and the Cubans were invested
with authority over their own affairs.
Does that suggest selfshness. or de-
sire or purpose to exploit?
What explains this outburst at
Havana? Why. after nearly quarter
century, this silly and mischievous
TRADE against the country to which
Cuba owes so much. and which Is as
able and willing to aid Cuba as at any
preyious time and which is aiding the
island in the present embarrassments
