organization of the present District
government, is to be made the subject
of bill which will he introduced in

ing the course of the District COM

giving some study To local conditions
and was prepared to write his BILL
which would give the District Govern
ment officials authority ito run the
town as other towns throughout the
country are carried on
Mr.. Reid explained that he had not
worked out the details of his measure.
but said he intended to start imme-
diately. He has decided, however, to
provide for change in the District
Government to the extent of making
provision for five Commissioners in
stead of the present three.
His bill Will include a provision
that four of the District Commission
ers shall be selected. one from each
of the four geographical divisions of
the city and one of them at large He
thought that this was absolutely
necessary here. he said. because each
section would then have some repre-

received more benefits than the other.

proposed new board would be. appoint
ed, but he indicated that his home
rule bill would not provide for any

Declares Nation Wastes

BY the Associated Press.

by the Assoc1ated Press.
Taking issue with Senator Borah
Republican, Idaho, on the question of
constitutional amendments, especially
the fourteenth, fifteenth and eight
eenth amendments. Senator Edwards,
Democrat. New Jersey, in a state
ment today said it was a waste of
time and money for an honest Govern
ment to attempt 70 maintain such
constitutional amendments as the
fourteenth and eighteenth"
Declaring that the fourteen-h h
amendment was intended to elevate
the negro to a plane of equality with
white people the New Jersey Senator
said everybody knows that the
negroes of the South do not enjoy
even lis per cent Of the equality
guara nteed by the Constitution"
Does any rational human being In
free America believe that the negro
enjoys equality with the white--or
that he ever will? Like the fourteenth
amendment, the eighteenth has failed
OF execution, and laws or ordinances
which are not observed are worse
than none
They weaken the Government, ex-
pose it to contempt and destroy the
confidence Of all men. And, like the
fourteenth amendment, the eighteenth
is an economic waste
North, East, South and West ST.
