The District Bill.

In respect to total figures the Dis
trict appropriation bill which has been
agreed upon by the conferees is
highly satisfactory. 1t carries total
Of approximately $33,900,000, or
$200,O more than the highest fig
ure of either house. 1t is most lln-
usual that the District bill emerges
from conference increased in total
rather than decreased. AS it stands
it is only about $4,000 under the
recommendation of the Bureau of
the Budget. 1t is in its appropriative
provisions highly satisfactory
measure, and for the liberality with
which provisions have been made for
District development and mainte-
nance the community is grateful to
those who have had charge of the
local budget in its various stages of
preparation and adjustment.
The lump sum provision of s9,0o0.-
600 of Federal money remains the
fundamental feature of the bill. re-
gardlesS of the fact that the sub
stantive law still establishes the
on the 60-40 basis. This sum is
about 26ia per cent of the total of
the bill instead of 40 per cent as the
substantive law provides, the Dis
trict supplying S24 100000.
1t was hoped that the conference
would result in the complete elm
ination OF the House provision for a
large increase of water rates to pro-
vide funds for capital extensions of
the water distribution system. The
conferees cut the proposed increase
of rates in half. from 25 per cent to
1879 per cent. Thus the principle of
lures of the permanent plant out of
rates instead of out of the general
fund supplied by taxes OR all prop
erty is retained. This is to be de-
plored \ much sounder principle
of water administration is TO regu-
late the rates to the cost OF the
service and separate them entirely
from the cost OF the plant.
The bill as il stands makes liberal
provision for street improvements,
including a sum of $1.000,000 for re-
pairs and resurfacing in addition to
a long list of specific streets named
for new pavements. In respect to
the school needs the bill is not so
generous, although as q result of the
conference the reduction from the
original program of expenditures for
new constructions was leSsened to
100000. Of this amount 100000
was cut from the allotment for
certain building. which, in the judg-
ment of the conferees, could not be
effectively expended during the next
fiscal year.
Taken altogether, with the excep-
tion Of the retention of the lump sum
principle and the adoption of the in
creased water rates to pay for capt.
tai improvements and extensions in
the water system the bill as it comes
out of conference and as it will
doubtless be finally enacted is a sat
isfying provision for the Districts
annual needs and insures advance
in the development OF the capital
municipality along the lines of it's
most urgent needs.

There are many members Of the
House who do not come from agricul-
tural communities at all, and the ad-
ministration, it is expected, will re-
ceive their support in a considerable
degree in it's opposition to the Haugen
bill. On the other hand, a union of
the Democrats generally with the
Haugenites of the West might make
serious difficulty for the administra-
ton, might even result in the passage
of the bill, and if it could be put
through the Senate 1T would place the
President in a position where he would
be called upon to veto the measure or
to approve it. A veto, administration
opponents figure, would be a serious
step on the eve of the congressional
elections and might have its serious
consequences in 1928.
Owing to the warning factions, there
is no little doubt as to whether any
one of the three agricultural relief
bills can come to passage before the
close of the present session. In the
event of no legislation, however, the
regular Republicans will be subject to
attack in the farm States.
Down in sunny Florida, Mrs. Ruth
Brvan Owens, daughter of the late
Col. William Jennings Bryan, is a
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Representative from the
fourth Florida congressional district
against Representative William Joseph
Sears, who has. represented that dis
trict in the House for the last 10 or
12 years. The fourth district of
Florida takes in the east coast of the
State, into which there has been a
great influx Of population in the last
few years. The daughter of the
"Commoner" is offering herself as a
candidate who will work for the in
terests Of Florida. But Mr.. Sears re-
torts that he has been working for
Florida for long time. Mr.. Sears Is
reputed a good campaigner and an
excellent stump speaker. Mrs. owen
has her work cut out for her in this
campaign. Had Col. Bryan lived. he
would have been a candidate for the
Senate this year against Senator
Fletcher. The Florida primaries are
to take place June 8.
