The District Budget.

DISPATCHES from Brule. Wis, state
that the District budget for the fiscal
wear of 1880 has been tentatively placed
AZ a maximum Of $Se.eo0,o0o after a
pruning of the preliminary estimates
for the Government by the President
and the director Of the budget. 1t is
indicated tina: If any change occurs IN
the initial budget it viii be in down.
ward direction. but not materially This
total granted the District, which is
trife more than a million dollars below
the total of the appropriations avail
able for Capital maintenance for the
current year. including the supple
mental appropriations is reported TO be
almost solely for current actual ex-
penses incident to District administra-
ton. Practically no provision is made
in this estimated amount for unusual
or extraordinary purposes. No allow
ance is given for the municipal airport
and no instaliment on the public schools
building program is provided. In other
words. the budget of SIS, goo, 1000, which
may shrink before submission to Con-
gress. allows for no advance In neeoeo
permanent improvements.
The District naturally hopes for a re-
vision upward Of its appropriation al
lowance. 1t Is encouraged somewhat
by the !ntimation that the Bureau OF
the Budget will not interpose objections
to supplemental appropriations to the
amount of an additional million. But
evan this enlargement of the fund would
not satisfactorily provide for the vtr-
ta,ally essential works that remain 10
be authorized and financed.
The question of the basis on which
the appropriations are made by Con-
rress Enthusiastically arises in considering
the adequacy Of the provisions made by
Congress. Despite the persistence OF
the House of Representatives In MANI
tanning the lump sum provision and It's
refusal to recognize the substantive law
which establishes fixed ratio OF Sixty
forty between the District and the FED
eraI Government. she District must con-
tinue to demand full equity In the mat
ter of provision for its essentials OF
maintenance and Of growth. 1t was
disappointed last session when. after
vigorous fight by the Senate Tor the
restoration of the substantive Law, the
apurouriation act was passed on the
hmm sum basis. 1t viii continue at
the next session to demand the restora-
ton Of the ratio, as the only equitable
method of District maintenance.

Talkative Managers.

Silence is golden, but 1t is also diff
cult. Campaign managers have found
| this true to their cost. John J. Raskob
heading Gov. Smiths campaign for the
presidency, is one of the latest to dis
cover that wagging tongue is not al
ways an asset. A few days ago Mr.
Raskob was quoted as saying that he
found nothing uneconomical in the
equalization fee principle OF the Nc
-Haugen farm-aid bill. He had
been In conference with the persuasive
George N. Peek. chairman of the Farm
Belt Committee of Twenty-Five, who
has since announced his support OF
Smith for President. Then came Gov.
Smiths fat statement that the equali-
cation fee would not do. that he would
not accept 1t. but would seek to work
out some other plan of accomplishing
the same end And now Mr.. Raskon
asserts that he was incorrectly quoted,
that he had no opinion on the subject
OF the equalization fee and that he, in
fact, did not understand it. This is
frank, at least, although his statement
denying the quotation comes almost a
week after the publication of the quota
ton.
Mr.. Raskob announces. too. that he
has engaged Prof. Edwin r. A. Selig-
man of Columbia University, N. Y, an
authority on finance, to work out a
plan of farm relief. This ought to tickle
the farmers Of the Middle West. Prof.
Seligrnan may be the right man to solve
this problem. The implication con-
tanned in Mr.. Raskobs statement is
that the plan developed by the New
York professor is to be adopted as the
Democratic farm-aid plan. But here
again Mr.. Raskob may run foul of his
chief, Gov. Smith, and may have to
pull In his horns.
The Democratic chairman not long
ago said that some of the pastors of
Protestant churches In the South, who
have been antagonistic to the election
of Smith, had been warned that their
churches would be poorer unless they
desisted In their attacks on Smith; that
large contributors to the churches would
withhold their usual gifts. MIR. Raskob
may be perfectly correct in this state
ment. But he showed little wisdom IN
advertising the fact that the screws are
to be put upon the Protestant churches
in the South in order TO halt attacks
upon the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Raskob and Gov. Smith appar-
entity are In perfect harmony on the
wet and dry issue. But here again Mr..
Raskob has gone beyond the stand so
far taken by the candidate. For Mr..
Raskob has declared that the wet and
dry question is the main issue OF the
campaign. That doubtless goes well in
New York City and other wet centers,
but not so well in the more arid South
and states OF the West Even now come
intimations that the governor does not
desire to stress the issue in dry terri
tory.
Candidates, naturally, having placed
men of their choice at the head OF the
campaign committees. must allow them
leeway. Only men who have ability 70
manage a great political campaign are
supposed to be selected for these posi-
tons. But doubtless there come times
when candidates must wish that an
open season" in which to gun for
campaign managers could be arranged

BOND 'DIvvY'
BAN is PUT ON
IN U. S. COURT
Professionals Under Fire
Before Municipal Benches
Barred by Kern.

Professional bondsmen, whose
municipal court activities are under
investigation by the indianapolis
Bar Association, today stood barred
from his United States Commits
sioner's Court by emphatic order
of Commissioner John w. Kern.
"This court will accept no bond
for defendant unless the bonds
man can satisfy me he knows the
defendant, is not charging him for
the service and is not getting a
divvy' from a professional bonds
man who sent him here" declaed
Kern, who is secretary of the local
bar association.
Kern's edict was provoked by the
appearance before him Tuesday of
Able" Greenspan, professional
bondSman with Offices at IA s. Ala
bana St., opposite the police sta
ton, offering $4,000 bond for the
release Of George Bats, arrested by
deputy sheriffs at Bats cottage at
Seventy Fifth st. and White River,
Tuesday night, in the course of an
alleged boisterous home-brew party,
and taken before Kern for arraign-
ment.
Tells of Fee Split
Greenspan'S overtures for Bats
release were rejected, promptly and
firmly.
With him was Lyman Unger, pro-
prietor of the Globe store, 330-334
w. Washington ST., who next came
to Bats aid. Kern refused it until
assured by Deputy Prohibition Ad-
n1inistrator George L. Winkler that
Bats release was all right, and by
Unger that he entertained no hope
Of temperance as bodsman in COM
missioners court
Unger admitted he had been in
the bond-posting business scale at
one time. But I'm in the clothing
business noW,'' he said, handing
Kern his card, land just to prove
it, I'd like to sell you a suit of
clothes"
When fellows in politics, like
I was" he added, "he has to take
care of his friends now and then.
You know how it is"
1--WE don't want professional
bondsmen around here" Kern said,
because with the bondsmen come
unscrupulous attorneys and we
won't have them in Federal Courts"
Kern said that recently in his
court, man whore name he did
not recognize posted bond for de-
PENDANT. Later, he learned, he said,
that the amateur bondsman had
been sent before him by a profess
sional bondsman who then split the
fee with the property holder who
gave the bond
Rarely Forfeit Bail
"They usually charge SIS a 500 for
posting bond and rarely have to
forefeit one. They figure on a quick
turnover for it usually is only
few days between arraignment and
trial. At that, I have no doubt but
that they frequently post more
bonds, secured by property, than the
property is worth.
There is some justification for
professional bondsmen' of the right
type, for occasions arise when a de-
PENDANT, thoroughly responsible,
may know no one able to post bond
for him.
But the practice has been abused
and has led to many evils. It must
be curbed"
