The Senate Adjourns.

After a two-week session. in which
were packed more sensational mo-
ments than usually occur in months,
the Senate today is planning to shake
the dust of Washington from its feet
Instead of the perfunctory confirma-
tion of presidential cabinet and i'm

the custom of special sessions of the
Senate following the inaugurations Of
the Chief Executive, the new Senate
2 became entangled in a row of ma Tor

Budget Bureau and Washington.

President Coolidge's economy and
tax-reduction message was revoiced
last night at the meeting of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce by the
director Of the Budget Bureau.
General Lords presentation of the
message was most effective. For he
Is not only master of his subject,
theoretically and practically, and an
administrative official OF courage, fair
ness and sound judgment, but
speaker Of power, who points statisti-
cal figures, otherwise dull, with fig
ures of speech, with appropriate witty
or humorous anecdOte.
1t is fitting that this message should
have this vivid and special local de-
livery. 1t has been debatable from the
beginning whether on the theory on
which the creation Of the Budget Bu-
reau is based it should have the same
jurisdiction over estimates and ap-
propriations for the District of Co
lumbia as over those for the depart
ments of the National Government.
And debate over the issue is intensi-
fed by the increase of the Districts
contribution toward the National Cap
itals maintenance and development
from so to 60 per cent of the total,
and by the Indefinitely larger increase
Of the Districts contribution under
the plan of a lump-sum contribution
by the Nation which has been and is
now tentatively and temporarily in
operation.
Whatever the final determination of
this issue may be, Washington will re
member with hearty appreciate that
while the Budget Bureau. represent
ing the President, has inspected and
passed upon District estimates General
Lord and his capable lieutenants have
been interested, sympathetic and pro-
gressive in dealing with the problems
of National Capital development, and
that the great advances in Capital up
building through appropriations and
authorizations recently made have
been secured not merely with the per-
functory approval. but with the
hearty, helpful cooperation of the
Budget Bureau.

he who levies it, and there is no other
terial interests of the citizen. Secre-
tary Mellon, in this, his first speech
delivered in the South, cited the trend
in recent years toward the divorce
ment of tax levying from partisan
politics.
Addressing company in which
Democrats and Southerners predomi-
mated, he singled out a fellow guest,
Senator Glass of Virginia, whose as
sociation with the creation of the Fed
related the instances in which the
present policies of the Treasury De
partment under Republican admins
tration agree with the policies of the
Wilson administration and Secretary
Houston.
Secretary Mellon expressed the be
lief that the American people were
rapidly corning to a full appreciation
OF the Importance of the subject of
taxation as considered aside from
party politics. He also discussed an
other question which is of the highest
Importance to the citizens, the rela
tionship between Federal and State
taxation. Too much stress cannot be
laid upon this subject. The taxpayer
is appalled, by the mounting cost of
government in States and municipal
tiles, which has compelled closer
attention to the matter OF apportion-
ing tax sources between the Federal
and the State governments.
Secretary Mellon pointed out the
fact that States and the Federal Gov
ornament attempt to tap the same
source of revenue in inheritance
taxes. AS he so wisely pointed out,
an uLintelligent use of taxing power
may have disastrous consequences. 1t
is necessary to come to some under
standing, particularly concerning high
surtaxes and the field of inheritance
taxes, by which overlapping and un-
fair taxes may be eliminated
Effective taxation is that which
doing such violence to economic fac
tors as to- unsettle American pros
perity.
Secretary Mellon has. stated no
more than the truth involved in the
trite and obvious parable of the Goose
and the Golden Egg. Yet it is a truth
which calls for deal of repetition, it
would seem.

Clean PLAYS.

Cardinal Patrick J. Hayes of New
York has recently said that thousands
Of reputable persons were being ac-
tually deprived of their liberty as to
theater attendance because of their
fear Of what they and their children
might hear and see; that there seems
to be greater concern for the desires
Of both purveyors and recipients of
filth than for those of clean-minded and
discriminating playwrights, producers
and audiences.
No exception to this distinguished
and broad-minded churchman's state
ment can be taken in the National
Capital. There is no argument. Wash
ington can look back over a theatrical
season now approaching it's end that
for proportionate undesirability of
plays shown probably holds the rec
ord. On the other hand, productions
have been given here this Winter
which contained not an indecent, sug-
gestive or even doubtful line, situa-
ton or scene. And at these perform
anCes. day after day, audiences were
packed in to the last available square
inch.
1t would seem that the sort of spec
tators who thoroughly enjoy clean
plays of real merit ought, at least, to
get an even break. Cardinal Hayes
says that they do not; that apparently
not even public officials seem to know
the difference between what is moral
and what is immoral. The right
minded ought not to be penalized for
the taste of those who are their in
feriors in intelligence, appreciation
and decency.

session of Congress befora the regular

have a clear understanding Of the de-
sires and eeds Of the country at large
and their Cwn States and districts.
The settlement Of the controversy
over the office of Attorney Ge neral be-
tween the President and the Senate is
hailed both by administration and
anti-administration Senators with no
little relief. Whatever its merits a
contest between the Chief Exc cutive
and the Senate over their con stitu-
uonal pperogatives is unsettlingl Co
operations of the branches of the Gov
ernment is necessary to good govern-
ment. Those on the Republican side
who opposed the confirmation of the
nomination Of Charles B, Warren tk
be Attorney General insist that the
elimination ofiMr. Warren will have a
beneficial result to the party and to
the country. Those who favored his
confirmation, while regretting the coun-
try is not to have the services of Mr..
Warren, and deprecating the basis Of
his rejection by the Senate, regard his
determination not to accept the recess
appointmentN rendered by the Presi-
dent as the wise act of a practical
man, who places the public interests
involved in the restoration of party har-
mony above his own. There is a feel
ing, too that the President, having
stood firmly for the appointment he
first desired. and, yielded no ground
in the matter of Executive preroga-
tive, has done wisely to intrust the
legal department of the country to
the direction Of a sturdy New Eng
land lawyer OF the old school, John G..
Sargent OF Vermont.
The Republican forces in the Sen
ate got away to bad start in the
session now closing. Elements of dis
cord arose that, uncorrected. do not
augur well for party solidarity and
accomplishment when it becomes nee
essary to act. The Senate has been
subject to bitter criticism in the last
Congress because of It's impotence
The people of the United States look
to the Senate-as well as to the
House-for wise action and good laws
which may be needed to meet condi-
tions as they arise. The period before
the next session. could well be used by
the Republican majority of the Sen
ate, both regular" and independent"
(omitting confirmed third-partyites) in
earnestly endeavoring to get together
to the end that the Senate may more
efficiently perform those duties which
the public rightfuliy expects of it.

Treasury Heads on Taxation.

There will be food for reflection in
the observations of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and Undersecretary
Winston before the Bankers Club in
Richmond last night on the subject
Of taxation, State and Federal. Secre-
tary Mellon is regarded throughout
the country as one of the most en-
inent officials who have presided over
the administration Of the finances Of
the Government since the days Of
Alexander Hamilton, and we have had
some notable f1nanciers in that time.
Secretary Mellon and Undersecre-
tary Winston appealed to the country
to eliminate partisan politics in con-
sideration of tax questions. This is a
subject which has already engaged the
attention of Thoughtful men in high
finance and should be taken up and
considered by the layman and poll
ticians, as well as those versed in the
intricacies of financial problems.
After all, the man who pays the tax
has as much stake in the game as

Repairing Highway Bridge.

Announcement that the floor of the
Highway Bridge is to be reconstruct
ed, and that restrictions may be i'm
posed limiting the motor truck trans
port load to 10 tons is welcome news.
for at present the pavement of that
Joint pedestrian-roadway-trolleysp span
across the Potomac is in an unbelieva-
bic condition of hopeless wreckage.
When this Highway Bridge was con
structed transportation by motor truck
was rare. Twenty years ago the horse
or mule drawn vehicle was used al
most exclusively for heavy drayage.
while motor cars were regarded large
ly as luXuries for social endowment.
When the bridge was first opened a
very low speed limit and a correspond
ing limit in weight was imposed upon
the so-called heavy traffic using the
bridge, but with the advent and rapid
development of motor trucks as a
means of hauling these limits had to
be expanded. Damage to the flooring
of the bridge has been a problem grow
ing to more serious proportions wear
ly, until this present Winter Of ice
and snow has climaxed the problem.
Since the last of the Winters ice
storms vehicular traffic has been seri-
ously disconnected. To ride the
rails is the only sure way of cross
ing the structure without damage to
carrier or cargo.
In reconstructing the floor the en-
gineer Of bridges has declared that it
will be necessary to redesign the
buckle plate on which the asphalt
rests. The new floor foundation will
be especially adapted to withstand the
strain of heavy hauls, but even at
that the trucks are growing larger
and the loads heavier all the time, and
the proposed limit of weight to 10 tons
on hauls across the Highway Bridge
should be strictly enforced to put a
stop to the extremely costly damage
to a structure which is regarded as
one of the most strikingly handsome
of its kind and which has been neces-
sarily subjected to perennial abuse,

geles Times independent Republican,

the President are animated finds oc-
casional expression in the inaugural.
The closing words Of his invocation
to our country are typical: She

About half the address, says the
Lincoln State Journal independent
Republican, is concerned with inter
national relations, which the State
Journal summarizes thus: The sum
Of the Presidents program in this
field is cautious cooperation with
the rest of the world, always avoid
ing ENHANCEMENT in foreign issues.
In matters domestic the President
follows paths already familiar. He
will continue the pressure for lower
taxes. He presses also for economy,
but that point is weakened by his
signature, a few hours before, to the
ries." But. above all, says the Kan
sas City Journal (Republican), and
most important of all he voices his
confidence of the American system of
representative government, without
appeal to class or race, and pledges
himself to honor and uphold our in
Stitutions."
From first to last, in part and in
whole, it is a message of common
sense that the President has given

Transcript independent Republican,,
which adds, 1T is expressed in lam
guage which the plain people can
