Our NeiqhbOr Mars
By Henry Smith Williams.

rs the planet Mars inhabited
= by living beings more or
less like ourselves?
Since 1877, when the sharp
eyed Italian astronomer, Schi-
aparelli. discovered the system
Of so-called Canals" this has
been a moot question. No one
as yet can give a definite an.
swer.
Unfortunately, astronomers
are not agreed as to what the
canal system is really like.
Observers who have devoted
much time to watching the
planet through a telescope, and
making drawings Of what they
saw, produce pictures that do
not very closely resemble the
image Of the planet as shown
when a Photographic plate is
adjusted to the telescope.
Most astronomers pin their
faith to the photographs.
In particular, the drawings
show systems Of straight lines,
some of them parallel, that can
hardly represent natural phe-
nomena. These do not appear
distinctly in the photographs.
A T the very best, the astron-

telescope does not make the
surface of Mars clearer than
the surface Of the moon viewed
through an ordinary opera
glass.

days to make its circuit. you
will see that the two planets
play a sort Of hide-and-seek

their mutual relations are for
ever changing; and you will

at rare intervals viii they be

now drawing apart; but in
August, 1924, they will be in

Great LaWyer
and Good Man
EvY MAYER, who died sud-
denly in Chicago, was a great

denly in Chicago, was great
IL lawyer and a good man.
The style WAS the man. He spe-
cialized in corporation law be-
cause by instinct and passion he
was a defender of property rights.
Thus no became an acknowledged
authority on corporation law in
this country. .. ..
He was counsel for many large
industrial corporations and banks,
and was particularly active in at
tacking all laws aimed at the valid
ity of property rights.
However, Levy Mayer was not
merely a protagonist Of wealth as
such, but he was equally jealous in
the defense of the property Of the
poor. He expected and accepted
very large fees from his wealthy
clients. But many a poor person
profited from his acumen and zeal
by securing his invaluable services
without money and without price.
A self-made man, Levy Mayer
was not of the kind that might bet
ter have left the larger part Of that
job to others. Indeed, with his tre-
mendous self-won success his life,
ended all too early, indicates that
America still is uniquely the Land
Of Opportunity for the man or wo-
man who is willing to work hard
and who keeps an eye on the goal.

Estimates
for 1924
BY BILL PRICE.
THE National Budget Bureau

mas run the knife deeply
i through the estimates of the
District Commissioners for District
needs for the fiscal year 1924, be-
ginning July 1, 1923.
If the House and Senate Appro-
priations Committees follow their
customary procedure and again
slash the estimates as sanctioned
by General Lord, director of the
budget, the National Capital will
60 backward in serious maffner.
Future conditions in the District
are anything but optimistic, and
it behooves every agency-individu-
al and organization-to bring every
possible influence upon the next
session Of Congress to obtain for
the District appropriations in keep
ing with actual needs.
The estimates of the Commis-
sioners for the next fiscal year,
most carefully considered, and with
absolutely no padding, totaled
about $27, 100000. General Lord,
having before him the estimates of
the national income for the next
fiscal year, informs the Commis-
sioners that the quota Of District
appropriations for the next fiscal
year must not exceed $24,000, 900.
That is, the Commissioners must
trim their estimates to that amount,
no matter what the sacrifice in
street improvements or in general
municipal upkeep.
It is a hard blow to the District
In the light of the measly ap-
preparations in the last five years
and the backward conditions
throughout the National Capital.
Every Congressman and Senator
prejudiced against Washington has
managed to "get it off his sys-
tem," to the detriment Of the Fed
eral Capital New schemes for in
creasing the tax burdens Of Dis
trict taxpayers have been adopted
and a spiteful attitude followed in
cutting appropriations to the point
where, in some instances, the mu-
nicipal government is working on
hand-to-mouth basis.
That is absolutely true as to
streets and roadways. Not only
were appropriations for new sur
facing for important thoroughfares
refused, but the appropriations for
repairs for the present fiscal year
were cut so low that the engineering
department can do little better than
stick in little gravel, tar or mac
adam here and there, hoping it
will last a while. It is wasteful,
uneconomical, and all the time the
city's thoroughfares are deteriorat-
ing until they are already a local
and national disgrace.
And this is merely one item out
Of hundreds that might be referred
to.
If General Lloyd's slash was the
last one the injury might not be so
great. But the same Congressional
elements that showed hostility to
the District in the past are to be
encountered this winter.
The time is at hand when big,
broad-minded men in Congress, who
really want to see the Federal Capt.
tai maintained on a proper basis,
must set themselves to the task of
compelling the little fish in that
body to stop destructive nibbling
at policies which, until the last
five years, meant the real welfare
Of Washington not only for
Washington people, but for the
people Of the nation, who would, if
they knew the facts, oppose meth
DDS which mean retrogression of
the worst kind.
