The Oratory Finalists,

Washington is the magnet which is
drawing six young Americans with
families and friends from different
parts Of the country. They are COM
ing here, these six young people. to
take their places tomorrow night on
the stage. at the Auditorium and com.
pete, with. a seventh representing the
District of Columbia, for the prizes in
the national oratorical contest.
These seven young Americans. Ave
boys and two girls. represent 1,400, 900
school children in the United States
who have participated in all stages Of
this great contest. They are the SUE
vivors Of city. county, State and
grand division eliminations. They are
the best in the country.
Not only to the audience imme-
diately present tomorrow night, but to
the greater audience reached by radio,
the proceedings will be Of the 7keeflest
interest. These seven young people
will deliver brief orations upon the
Constitution, representing months of
study and preparation. Those who
heard the 'discourses last year are pre-
pared for the excellence with which
these seven dissertations will be given
tomorrow night, for the manner of
presentation and particularly the mat.

1t was gratifying to The Star, as a
participating newspaper, last year to
find the product of the competition Of
such merit. 1t was particularly graft.
flying that the competition had been
engaged In by more than a million
students, and that a far.reaching
stimulus of interest In the Constitu.
ton had been effected. This year s
record Is even more satisfactory and
indicates livelier interest in the sub.
ject and consequently a wider inffu

Tears were in the youngsters eyes,

Found, with sorrowing surprise,
That the boy had bruised his knee

Vanished are, those days so fair

past that a two-thirds vote of the
Senate is required to suspend" a
standing rule of that body. 1t was
held by Vice President Marshall in
1917 that 1t required only majority
vote to modify" or amend a rule.
That being the case, Vice President
Dawes will have to be backed by a
majority OF the Senate to bring about
the reform which he seeks. The mi.
nority leader of the Senate. Senator
Robinson OF Arkansas, in a recent
statement spoke disparagingly of the
Dawes proposal. If he is to be fol.
lowed generally by the Democrats in
opposition to the proposed plan, the
rules night in the Senate may be pro-
tracted. Under the existing rules 1t
would require.a two-thirds vote of the
Senate to limit debate on a proposed
amendment to the rules. and debate
might run for a, long period before
vote could be reached.
Collateral matters frequently have
great influence on senatorial action
or lack of action. The proposal that
the United States adhere to the World
Court is to come up for consideration
at the next session of the Senate.
This fact may have an important
bearing on the rules fight. Senators
who are strongly opposed TO adher.
ence to the World Court may look with
great disfavor on a rule that would
further limit debate. On the other
hand, those who favor the court pro-
posal may be influenced in part to
support more drastic cloture of debate.
All the opposition to an amendment
of the rules will not be found on the
Democratic side of the chamber. Sen.
ator Moses Of New Hampshire, Repub-
fican and President pro tempore Of
the Senate, is aligned against further
cloture. Senator La Toilette of Wis.
consin was one of the three Senators
who voted against the two-thirds clo-
.ture in 1917.
So far Vice President Dawes has
not put into concrete form his pro-
posal for revision of the Senate rules.
The discussion has been general in
character. Even the Senators who
are supporting him, except Senator
Underwood, who has a resolution be.
fore the Senate to bring about ma
jority cloture, have not settled in
their own minds just how far the
revision should go. This Is a matter
which will be given consideration
during the recess of the Senate, and
when the Senate recenvenes undoubt-
edly some plan will have been shaped
up by the proponents of the change.

Cutting Costs and Taxes.

A further budget cut of approx
mately $500, Oo0,0 is the aim of the
President, according to late informa-
ton. This. If effected, would bring
the total Government expenditures
during the fiscal year 1927 below
$4,000, 00O, 900. 1t could only be ef.
fected, however, through a severe cur
tailment Of appropriations involving
all branches of the Government.
The process of tax reduction is not
completed. Further lowering of the
rates and lessening of the volume of
revenues is contemplated. A reduc-
ton Of about II per cent is consid-
cred as possible. The present sugges-
ton of budget reduction is little less
than 10 per cent.
Naturally any continuation of the
budget cutting brings anxiety to. the
Government force here at the Capital.
Ever since the close of the war the
process Of lowering Government costs
has been in progress. with heavy cuts
in the personnel. About $4,000 per-
departments and bureaus in the six
and a half years that have passed
since the armistice.
These department and bureau cur
tailment have brought the service,
however, down to about Normal con.
dition. The total Of those at work
in the Federal service at the Capital
is still much higher than; before the
war, but it is recognized that never
again will the Government work call
for as small a number as in 1914.
Local interest in budget reduction.
therefore, is one Of some concern, as
well as Of qualification lin the low
ering OF the costs and the taxes i'm
posed to. meet those costs. 1t is of
no moment to the Individual who
stands to, lose all he. has in the way
Of income IL there is a chance that
by the force.reductions effected his
own. income tax payments may be
reduced. The man or the woman
whose entire income is taken away
is not helped by .lessening of the
tax upon his former income
Fhe country at large looks upon
these budget reductions differently.
1t. welcomes the, lowering of the cost
OF government and the consequent
lowering OF the taxes. The President,
in urging economy, is viewing the sit
uation in the broad aspect. He
realizes that reduction may be car
ried too far, beyond the, point of
efficiency. 1t is his responsibility to
effect the greatest cut in costs and
therefore in the tax burden without
making any cut in the effectiveness
Of the machinery and functions Of
the Federal service. -

The Dawes Campaign.

Vice President Dawes continues to
gain recruits among the Senators
themselves in his campaign to amend
the rules of the Senate so as to pre-
vent filibusters and expedite public
business. In fact, the array. on the
side of the Vice President is becoming
formidable, with Cummins of Iowa,
Butler and Gillett of Massachusetts,
Capper of Kansas, Willis and Tess of
Ohio, Pepper Of Pennsylvania, Hale of
Maine and Underwood of Alabama
among those who have declared for
modification of the rule regarding
debate.
When the Vice President delivered
his first attack on the Senate rules,
on Inauguration day, he was bitterly
censured by number of the Sena-
tors. Few voices were raised in his
support. At that time The Star ven
tured to predict that the sentiment
in the States would, back the Vice
President, and that this sentiment
would have it's influence in the Sen
ate itself.
The Vice President apparently has
struck a chord to which the people
are responding. Many of the Senators
ths nselves have chafed under the
present rules and have felt that some
thing should be done to bring more
prompt action in the Senate. At
the same time a rule that proposes to
limit debate through action of ma
jority would result, as one Senator
has privately expressed it, in clip
ping the wings" Of the individual
Senator. For that reason the pro-
posed change will be resisted strongly
by some members of the upper house.
The present cloture rule of the Sen
ate. by which debate may be limited
by two.thirds vote of the Senate,
was adopted March 8, 1917, after the
Senate and the country had been
aroused by the filibuster of small
number Of Senators against the s"arm.
ed neutrality" resolution, which pre-.
vented action on that measure The
Senate prior to that time was without
any cloture rule whatever. BY a vote
of. 76 to. 3 the two-thirds cloture rule
was adopted, with 16 Senators absent

Sea Tips.

The controller general OF the United
States has made decision In the mat
ter of ocean travel tips. The question
arose over an expense account, and
the account must have contained the
item Of SO as a tip to a table steward
and the same sum as tip to a room
steward. The Secretary of Stats. repre.
sented to the.certroiler that before the
war a IS tip to a table steward on a
transatlantic trip was a decent thing,
but that the cost Of tips has gone up:
and that $40 bill Is now, needed to
cross the palm of table steward and
to bring a nod of recognition from a
room steward. 1t is to be borne. in
mind that transatlantic voyage in
the average sort of passenger ship is
short one, and that on longer voy-
ages tips. must be-not may be, but

Do Horses Meet. Competition
In Days of Motor Transport?

something is always starting anew
the argument over the future OF the
horse in the face of competition of
the motor. Recent suggestions that
this friend of man is a passing ad-
junct of modern life have drawn
from his champions various remind
ers of the many kinds OF work in
which the horse more than holds his
own and of the old.fashioned com.
fort in riding and driving which still
may be enjoyed.
''In this modern day of airplanes,
radios and automobiles" observes the
Dayton News, the general public
pays little attention to the horse, with
the exception of the various races
that are held. Yet the horse has
place in business life and, in certain
lines, it's use cannot be improved
upon. But its value is not confined
to business. In recreation. the horse
furnishes great sport for men and
women alike, either for canter
through the park-in the saddle-or
for a pleasant ride in a carriage where
one does not have to- worry about
crashing into a telephone pole or
constantly keeping the eyes on the
road. The present horse population
of the United States is answer in it.
