FUND FIGHT

washington taxpayers will have
to struggle along for another year
under the House dictated 100000
contribution by the Federal Gov
ernment toward the expenses of the
National Capital,
Conferences on the District ap.
preparation bill between the Senate
and House broke up, late yesterday
with the usual result, q victory for
the House.
The Senate had approved a con.
tribution Of $40 0.000.0 900. but the
House refused to yield contendfng
that $4,000, 900 was generous.
Bingham Gives In
Senator Bingham, of Connecticut,
chairman OF the Senate conferees,
gave in without much of q fight,
convinced that the House would not
compromise under any circum-
stances.
His position, he explained later,
would have been stronger II the
appropriations provided in the bill
required a greater revenue. It was
hard to convince the House, he said.
that it was necessary to increase
the. lump sum contribution when the
additional amount would merely lie
In the Treasury as a District sur
plus.
1t was pointed out to Bingham
that under this line of argument
the Budget Bureau could always
prevent a more generous treatment
Of the District by keeping the budget
down, although there were many
permanent improvements needed.
Jones to Fight
The conferees reached an agree
ment in regard to normal school
teachers. 1t was decided to extend
the course in the local normal schools
to four years. Until 1898 graduates
of the local normal schools will con.
tinue to hold preference in appoint.
ments as teachers. After that they
will compete on an even basis with
outsiders.
Senator Jones of Washington did
not approve this agreement and re-
fused to sign the conference report.
A fight on the floor is forecast.
Jones believes that even If the local
normal schools have four year
courses the graduates Of these insti-
tutions should be given some prefer
ence over outsiders.

Breadth of the Mining Industry.

Engineering and Mining Journalo
 Under the caption Big Buness Goes Collegiate, F. P A.. in the New York World, reprints an ad- yertisement from the New York Times, reading as follows:
 Amateur Baseball Pitcher Wanted-Large
 mining interest located in Eastern Canad
 offers an opportunity to young man;
 applicant will be placed in engineering, cler-
 cal or other work suitable to his training;
 give education and baseball reference. z 2023
 Times Annex.
 Graduate mining engineers not the only class of youngsters that the mining companies are looking for in the spring. In fact good pitcher may easily assume considerable more temporary im- portance in a mining camp than an equally good young mining engineer. In out-of -the-way places such mining camps where professional sports do not penetrate except through the medium of the daily paper, the employees must provide their own outdoor recreation. Baseball is popular, and small inter-company intra-company leagues are by no means uncommon. No one cares a great deal about team of dubs beating another so it is usual to secure outside talent, especially for the pitchers box. Hence the advertisement re- printed above. Usually there is a league rule against professional players, paid performers, so it is up to the company to find suitable job, and suspect that the company mentioned is going to find itself with at least one extremely well-pad clerk or time-checker this summer.

GET THE FACTS FIRST.

The Ketchikan Chronicle laments because of the short term in jail that was drawn by Harry F. Sinclair. It says
 It is true enough that Sinclair is in jail
 just like a penniless chicken thief or pick
 pocket But it happens that he is serving
 just about as long sentence a petty
 offender of that variety would And
 his offense was somewhat more serious than
 stealing chickens picking pockets
 Sinclair is getting off easy. Think of how
 much the Teapot Dome oil field is worth,
 consider the fact that many has
 been imprisoned for five years for stealing
 as small sum as $5-and if you don't
 agree.
 The whole oil scandal proved beyond the
 shadow of a doubt, that there is law
 for the rich man and another law for the
 poor
 Doheny went free altogether.
 The cynical old saying If you just
 steal enough youl be all right" still holds
 good.
 One would look for misstatement of facts and erroneous conclusions in the Appeal to Reason or other publications interested in promoting discon- tent, but do not expect to find it in a legiti- mate newspaper like the Chronicle We do not hold briefs for MT Sinclair the law enforcers of the country, but we find too much disposition to mis- represent both
 In the first place MT. Sinclair did not steal Teapot Dome. Teapot Dome is still the property of the United StateS-plus vast amount of devel- opment work done by MT. Sinclairs company at great cost to itself In the next place we must assume that MT. Sinclair never attempted to steal Teapot Dome because he acquitted of every criminal charge made against him. And yet further the crime for which he is serving time was com mitted on the advice of his learned counsel. He was found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to comply with the demands of the Senate Com mittee which was Investigating his transactions. It was admittedly a close case. It did not involve moral turpitude. It was sort of offense that usually brings fine. He is probably serving in jail on account of his prominence and wealth. If an average to commit contempt of court

In the Tenth Year.
(New York World.)

With more than eighteen million polcyholders in the United States and Canada the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has broad enough base for it's figures to make these figures important In the data published yesterday on deaths from alco- hcism there three significant facts:
 First, after a slight decline in 1927 and 1928 the death rate from alcoholism has again resumed an upward march from the minimum it reached in 1920 the first year of prohibition.
 Second, at its present figure (38 deaths per 100000 the death rate is at it's highest point since 1917, three years before the experiment began
 Third the death rate from alcoholism in the united States which has tried to solve the prob lem Of liquor with Federal prohibition law is 38 per 100000 The death rate from alcoholism in Canada, which has sought to achieve temper ance by other means, is Is per 100000
