Hui EquaIization Bill.

Congress should give favorable al
tention to the bill now pending before
the House committee on military af-
fairs to correct the glaring injustice
wrought by legislation of the last Con
greSs against Il class Of officers of the
Army. Navy. Marine Corps, coast
guard, coast and geodetic survey and
public health service. Representative
Hull has introduced the bill and is
urging its passage. No ones interests
would be hurt by its enactment, and
failure to pass it would be discrimina-
ton against several hundred worthy
and faithful officers in these services.
When the original pay-scheduie
bill of 1922 was brought in il con-
ferred the benefits Of the new pay
legislation upon retired officers in ac-
cordance With the basic retirement
Law. While the bin was in confer
ence. however, a provision was insert
ed that Nothing contained in any
section OF this act shall authorize an
increase in the rsiy of officers or war
rant officers on the retired list on June
so. 1922
The effect of this provision is that
il grants the benefits of the new legis-
lation to officers retiring after June
80. 1922. but deprives all officers re-
tired prior TO that date Of the same
benefits. in clear violation Of the basic
law under which these officers gained
their retirement. In the case of some
officers this discrimination amounts TO
az much as 20 per cent Of their retire
men. pay.
This does not seem equitable or
fair. Congress enacted the adjusted
pay bill in the spirit OF reward TO
faithful officers, and all should share
on the same basis.

contestant. Simon Cameron was also

ballot Cameron's votes were trans
ferred to him and he was nominated.
The split in the democratic party had
much to do with the election Of Lin
coin. His administration was full Of
trouble. With Confederate successes
up to midsummer in 1863 the anti-war
and anti-Lincoln element in the north
grew strong. The number of his
enemies increased when it became
by means Of draft. There WIS discord
in the republican party. But Lincoln
carried on One point of attack on
Lincoln was his delay in issuing a
proclamation emancipating slaves. He
was attacked by elements that had
been strongest in his support as a
candidate. though the republican plat
form had stressed no extension of
slavery" and not emancipation.
In the campaign of 1864 Lincoln's
reelection was an overwhelming tri-
umph. but although he had 2I2 of the
electoral votes to twenty-one for Nc

Tax-Exempt Securities.

by a margin Of seven votes the
House yesterday rejected a resolution
proposing an amendment to- the Con-
stitution to prohibit the issuance of
tax-eXempt securities. Party lines
were broken. lis republicans and 60
democrats voting for the resolution
and 11J democrats and Is republicans
voting against il. The result was not
unexpected. for it had been forecast
that the amendment would be lost by
an even greater margin.
As Il result of this action. unless the
subject is rcopened later. there can be
no advance toward relieving the
Treasury from the loss of revenues in
ciient to the issue Of securities which
are free from assessments. These &C.
curities are both federal and state.
Congress can. of course. prohibit by
legislation the issue of Treasury obli-
cations exempt from taxes. 1t has but
to enact a law to that effect by u ma
jority vote in both houses. But this
action taken alone would put the
Treasury securities at a disadvantage
in the financial market as against the
tax-exempt securities of states and
municipalities. and would make the
fiotation of future federal loans diff
cult.
Only by an amendment to the Con-
stitution can the processes of state
and municipal taxation and bond is
sues be reached. Until such an amend
mcnr is adopted by two-thirds vote in
Congress and the votes of three
fourths of the states it will be possible
for any state, any county and any city
to issue loan obligations free from
taxes
The argument mainly raised against
the amendment resolution in the
House was that it would unduly inter
fere with the borrowing privileges of
the states and the minor state units
and discourage state and local i'm
provements. The fart remains, how
ever. that if this amendment were
adopted all states and municipalities
would he on equal terms as between
themselves and as regards To the fed
eral government, save as to variations
of the rates Of interest.
As the case now stands. an immense
sum is invested in taX-exempt Securi-
ties for the sake Of this exemption.
The industries Of the country suffer in
consequence, as their securities must
propose higher rates of interest to
overcome the differential of yield. The
states and the cities should be on the
same basis with the industries of the
country in the matter Of borrowing &
capacity and opportunity. Such would
be the effect Of the adoption of the
amendment. The narrowness Of the
margin by which it was lost in the
House yesterday encourages the hope
that on reconsideration it will be
adn.1tad.

In the '70s we went some way in the
direction Of fountains, and little, fancy
iron fountains were set going in Il
number of parks. Then we passed to
the period when every square or park
triangle should have a statue and the
vogue of the fountain declined. Later
there was n fountain revival, and We
turned to fountains as memorials.
There are now the Mcmillan and Du.

Washington and Fountains.

In an address before the Twentieth
Century Club Charles Moore, chair
man of the Commission of Fine Arts,
said that Washington, in its effort to
become the worlds model city, needs
more fountains. He said that Rome
has many beautiful fountains and
pools, while in Washington Congress
had complained about the expense of
water used at the fountain in Dupont
Circle"
In L'Enfant's plan Of Washington it
was noted on the map: AT the foot Of
the Capitol five grand fountains hav-
ing a constant spout Of water" In
connection with that item was this
notation: There are within the limits
Of the city above twenty-five good
springs of excellent water abundantly
supplied in the driest season Of the
year" The idea, of course, was that
the fountains should be supplied by
springs in a higher part of the city.
When the nineteenth century was we'll
advanced water was piped to the
White House from a spring in that
square which became Franklin Square,
and water was piped to the Capitol
from spring on farm now the site
of the new reservoir at the filtration
plant.
In the sos, when Washington was
drawing its water supply from wells
and springs, and it was proposed to
supply the city with water from Rock
creek or the Potomac. Lieut.. Mont.
