A Novel Proposal

Back in Maine, Il member of the legislature is
preparing to introduce a primary election bill
that viii handle the issue from an entirely new
angle. He would provide for the primary cleo,
ton and the general election to be held on the
same date. The names receiving the most votes
on tho primary tickets would be the nominees
and would also be elected to office if their party
cast the most votes. The latter point would be
ascertained by taking the totals of tho votes for
the primary candidates on the different tickets.
If the Republicans were found in the lead, the
person receiving the Republican nomination
would also be declared elected and tho same
with other parties.
The claim is made that expense would be saved
by having the two elections at the same time.
This might also result in getting ont Il more rep
resentative vote for the primaries. On the other
hand, no one could be sure of the identity of the
candidate TO whose election he might be contrib.
uting. Perhaps the gentleman who is said to be
framing this measure is not in earnest. Possibly
there may be an intention to complicate the sit
uation so that no primary action will be taken
by, the legislature.
In any event it seems certain that the people
viii have a chance to express themselves on the
subject as a movement for a general vote is be-
ing initiated and doubtless will receive the re.
quired number of %signers. If so the legislature
will have no option, and the voters can make
their decision and stop the agitation.

Talking Prosperity

Chairman Gary of the Steel corporation says:
1.-THE new year will probably commence with all
the manufacturing plants operating at full ca
pacity. Selling prices have advanced, and should
afford profits sufficient to continue wage rates
at the present standard" Chairman Krutt.
schnitt of the Southern Pacific says railroads
have been reducing operating expenses $4,s52,0DO
daily in the summer Of 1924; collected daily
S~5,l09,O00 less in freight bills, and paid $4,000
more in taxes. President Teagle Of Standard Oil
company Of New Jersey says "Wc are nearer the
high road of returning prosperity" The dispo-
sition of 100000 900 barrels of crude oil and its
products now in storage in the United States.
however, is a pressing problem. President Agas-
sz Of Calumet and Hecla Consolidated Copper
company says the outlook for the copper indus
try is most encouraging" Domestic consump.
tion in 1923 was 1,500, 100000 pounds, the largest
peace'timc demand in history. This years con.
sumption has been at an even higher rate.

Skyscrapers and Transportation

y New York real estate operator in a prophetic
mood is responsible for the statement that the
Manhattan office buildings of the not too dim
and distant future will be one hundred stories
in height, while the metropolitan area of the city
will expand to a fifty-mile radius or even larger
through the speeding of transportation facil-
tiles,
With the tendency toward suburban expansion
in all the large cities SO marked under present
day conditions, there are few who will run couu.
ter 10 the last half of the dealers predictions.
But the bundred.story office buildings are a diff.
ferant matter,
The determining factor in the development of
such skyscraping skyscrapers as the realty oper
ator pictured is, after all, not the height to which
capacity Of the city streets to accommodate the
traffic which such structures necessarily entail.
There is a limit to the number of office work
ers, for example, which can be disgorged into
streets already burdened with more traffic than
can be conveniently accommodated, and II condi'
tions become intolerable tenants 60 isewhere
And no possible combination of subways, street
cars, elevated structures and flying machines
could take care of the rush hour outpourings OF
a business district such as was pictured by this
prophet Of Gotham for the future,
So it is possible that office buildings will re
main somewhere near their present heights for
many years to come. 1t is possible, of course, that
some radical in architecture may design IA struc.
ttire in which the top twenty stories are devoted
to residential purposes, another strata TO shops
and the lower floors TO industrial uses, but that,
as a famous English author was fond Of re.
marking, is another story.

Among Diplomats

Colonel George Harvey, former ambassador to
Great Britain now editing the Washington Post
says; Certain diplomatic episodes of the last
few weeks have given rise to painful doubts of
the sincerity Of France in her dealings with the
United States, and that in the present condition
Of world affairs is a very serious matter. France
proposes TO play England against the United
States, and to lament to each that she can make
no settlement with the one, because, alas, she
would be called upon to pay the other Leading
senators, including Borah and Smoot, in private
criticize the attitude of France. On the Demo.
cratic side, Senator Reed of Missouri and Nc
kellar of Tennessee also are outspokea in their
censure. The chances are that the question will
be brought up on the floor of the senate, but it
Is not likely, however, that any action will be
taken,

Testing the Budget

The real test OF the federal budget
system is yet to ono It may
come In this session. In effect. the
budget act restr cts the activities OF
congress as to appropriations. Theo-
retlcally congress still has the right
10 increase or decrease the budgets
recommendations in any executive
branch Of the federal government;
yet in practice. neither house Of
congress wants to take the rekpon.
sib lily OF increasing materially
what the budget and the president
recommend.
Many members of congress are
chafing because they are compelled
by sentiment TO keep within the lin
its OF the budget recommendations.
They believe that the law takes away
from congress its right to Judge
what the country needs and lodges
II In a bureau by the president. The
president had the power of veto be.
fore the budget law was enacted
now through the budget bureau he
has the invisible power to direct and
control all expenditures by congress
In executive departments or for
special purposes. 1t is possible that
a test may come this session In the
matter of appropriations for the
American navy. Tho budget bureau
and the President insist upon econ
omy yer in the matter of a navy.
He believes that the country can be
adequately defended by a navy with.
out extraordinary expenditures. In
this probably the country agrees
with him.
On the other hand, tho secretary
OF tho navy and the ont no navy de-
partmcnt wants three times more
money for tho navy than the budget
bureau and the president have al.
iotted for this year.
Again the pr resident has indorsed
a government building plan In
Washington. ~whereupon many mem.
bers OF congress are disposed to tack
on a largo number of public plans
In their d stricts. but the president
and the budget bureau will have
nothing TO do with this expenditure.
Certain river. harbor and water.
way expenditures are Endorsed by
the buAg bureau and the president,
whereupon many members OF cor,
gress have insisted upon a regular

Election Lessons

In u recent speech in the House
OF Representatives, Mr.. Burton. OF
Ohio. recited some OF the lessons OF
the recent election. He said:
In the first place. 1t Is evident
that the people 81 the United States
are not disposed to adopt raaical
changes hastily. A sane conserva-
tism survives.
They still adhere to those funda.
mental principles obtained In the
constitution and .%nwrought In the
structure of this government.
Most important of all 10 secure
the objects desired is the Supreme
court. Entrusted with tho power to
lines of executive and legislat We au-
thority and to pass upon the validity
of laws enacted by Congress and
the state leg .slatures.
Another motive which aided In
the notable victory of November last
was a desire for stability both in the
maintenance OF existing institutions
and of conditions in our social life.
1T was thought that whatever
may have been the faults OF the
present administration in either
branch. 1t was unsafe to tread the
path of experiment
Another lesson Is to be found in
the overwhelming victory of Pres
ident Coolidge. The electorate are
always prone to visualize in some
prominent personality the embodi-
ment of their ideals and aspirations.
They have standards of leadership.
Such a personality was found
in Calvin Coolidge. His courage,
his consc entious regard for public
duty, his plain but abundant COM
mon sense, all appealed to the men
n women Of the country. The ar
rows of Islander and detraction fell
harmless at h s feet. His almost un-
precedented vote was q tribute of
popular confidence v~ouchsafed to
any political leader.
"A president who stands four
square for the general welfare is
sustained when a myriad of votes
are cast.
The late election go is a
proof that the country still has SUI
preme regard for courage and COM
mon honesty.
THE autumn Of 1924 was not Il
favorable season for the muck-rak-
ing or professional pessimlst.
"As the people were confident
that President Coolidge would stren-
uously insist upon rectitude in of
fic al positions. they resented the
baseless accusations hat their gov
eminent was .steeped in corruption.
Any. wholesale Indictment OF their
public servants was regarded as an
unjust reflection upon the American
name, in effect. an indictment of
themselves.
references to a so-called slush
fund were futile. - The recent
Management Of the Republican cam
paign was clean; vas characterized
'by an absence OF extravagant expen-
diturts and by tho avoidance Of a
deficit. 1t was conducted In nc
cordance with lawful and correct
methods by Chairman Butler and his
associates.
In view of the diff Guilty in arous-
Ing voters 70 go TO the polls and In
placing the issues clearly before
them a fund Of four million dollars
or even more ''' does not seem
extravagant."
