The New Budget
And the Pay Situation

Government employees should not become overcondent Of
getting back normal conditions because of the instructions
which the Bureau of the Budget has sent to Federal and
District officials preparing the estimates for the 1885 budget
These instructions direct that estimates based
full salary schedules and not to indicate the salary diff
ferena which would result from continuance of the present
pay reductions
This is not definite that the Government
contempate removing the entire pay cut the coming fiscal
year and Government workers would simply be misleading
themselves if they so construed it.
There is however bright side to the situation from the
workers standpoint
The fact that estimates not to provide for continuance
Of the existing pay indicates clearly that the Admnstra
ton fully Of the fact that conditions will undoubtedly
change between and the time for submitting the
budget.
Roosevelt will go the entire situation Of Government
pay whe in December he required to decide whether the
present pay cut is to be continued modified.
Government employees, therefore, will look toward the De-
cember decision rather budget for relief from
the present condition
Those responsible for governmental personnel policies
of the untenabe position in which the Gov
has placed by its refusal ameorate the
plight of its employees while urging private employers to
deal literally with their workers.
The should before these private employers
with clean hands
It cannot do so as long it continues its unustfiaby
harsh treatment of its workers.
The Government of course cannot increase salaries under
existing law except provided under the act ITO Maintain
the Credit Of the United States"
Under the the President has the duty of investigating
living costs over sxmonth periods and comparing them with
living costs in the first six months Of 1928
Upon the results Of such investigation he authorized
eliminate modify the Is per cent pay cut
It will be time for the conduct of such nvestga
ton and workers looking toward that time
with measure Of hope and confidence.

Merger Negotiations
Public Should Be Informed

It would be unfortunate if the public should gain the i'm
preston that merger agreement between the Capital Tac
ton Company and the Washington Railway and Electric
Company is to be shrouded in secrecy.
impression however is the natural result of the failure
of the companies the Public Utilities Commission to make
the proposed public when the draft of the document
was placed before the commission,
The road toward the merger to be fairly clear
but it would be made smoother the public taken into
the confidence of the companies and allowed know just
what is contemplated.
In treating with public utility companies the public al
ways inclined to look for the joker and the history Of the
street railway merger has not altered that inclination
The inclination however, might be somewhat curbed if
policy of perfect frankness adopted by the companies
involved.
There provision in the merger resolution requiring that
the of the proposed agreement should be made public
nor there any provision which would require the Public
Utilities Commission to hold public hearing before finally
approves the agreement.
Nevertheless the commission undoubtedly will hold such
hearing
The people of Washington have worked toward merging
the companies for more than twenty years.
through the efforts of the public much as the
companies that the resolution finally adopted by Congress-
These facts combined with the fact that after all it will be
the public which will pay for the merger should certainly
induce the commission give citizens chance to examine
the proposed agreement and to be heard before is
finally ratified

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

started a family you knew you
were tackling a regular job.
Maybe you didn't like that job.
Newly married couples were just
as young then as they are now.
They liked their own freedom
and fun just as much as their
modern newlyweds do. It bored
them just as badly to stay at
home and take care of little
Junior. But they knew that
was their duty and they did it.
If they didn't-and of course
there were always a few who
didn't-they were regarded by
the rest of the world as
tramps.
But these modern neWlyWeds
don't expect to give up a parti-
Gle of their fun and freedom
when they marry. If the aver
age modern wife has to stay in
every night with her baby she
thinks She terribly abused, and
so do most of her neighbors.
And as soon as she can turn
her youngster out on the street,
away it goes. BY this time
Dear Mama is probably having
either an affair or a career of
her own, or is too busy gadding
the streets or playing bridge to
be bothered.
And even if the child does stay
in the home, what sort of an
examp1- does it see? Gin
swilling, gambling, idiotic, wise
cracking parents trying to act
like collegiateS. No dignity.
No home life. A mother who
thinks of nothing but keeping
young. A father who thinks Of
nothing but making money.
No wonder we have a crime
wave! Most of our young peo-
pie are growing up without any
discipline or decent standards.
"Get it while the getting'S good"
that's their motto. While
Mama calls up the bootlegger
over the telephone, they play
gangster in the nearest alley.
Why not?
Of course, they aren't all like
that. There are fine parents,
too, and splendid homes. But
they aren't in the majority any
more, The general average gets
lower every year.
INDTCT THE PARENTS !
That's what I say.
EVERY TIME A MINOR IS
ARRESTED FOR A MISDE-
MEANOR-ARREST THE PAR
ENTS TOO FOR CONTRIB
UTING TO HIS DELIN-
QUENCY.
AND PERHAPS TT NIGHT
BE JUST AS WELL ALSO TO
ARREST ALL THE REST OF
US WHO CONDONE THE
LAZINESS AND Stiffness
OF SUCH PARENTS!
Clean up the movies? By all
means. BUT FIRST OF ALL
CLEAN UP THE HOMES!
A DISGUSTER FATHER.

How to Make Money
Spend Money, and Spend It NOW.

You may be patriot you may not but whatever you
you want to make money.
The surest way of making money is to SPEND money
Row.
Prices have been going up for several months
They will continue to 60 up.
Your September dollar will buy than your October
dollar
To get full value out of it turn into goods this month
and the sooner the better.
That is not extravaganza is economy.
Of by spending your dollar you will help others
besides yourself
You will help to make jobs.
You will help put people payros instead of leaving
them to charity.
You will help reduce the need for city and State and
Eonal relief thus easing up tax burdens
You will help to speed the wheels of industry thus help
ing everybody.
But regardless of that the person you will help most YOU
and unless you different from of the human you
must think first of yourself and your dependents.
For that buy in September It's not only patriotic
It's prudent and prudence is the best kind of patriotism in
these days.

Sharks Do Attack

An entirely different story
comes from Mouafoo, an lslano
in the Tonga group in the
Southern Pacific. For eleven
years G. S. Ramsey, an Aus
tralian swan out to the mai!
ship on it's weekly visit and
the sharks swan alongside OF
him. "They always seemed
playful. They never bothered
me-" said Ramsey on his re-
tirement from the unique job.
But. to complete the record,
let it be said that the native
who succeeded Ramsey was
eaten by those same sharks
and now a boat goes out for
the mail.
For a real authority on
sharks one has to go to j. E.
Williamson, the pioneer subma-
rine photographer, who years
ago filmed the motion picture,
10000 Leagues Under the
Sea-" in which Jane Gail was
the star. From the deck OF a
burning yacht Miss Gail dlVed
into the sea, off Nassau, IN
the the Bahamas, a sea alive
with sharks and barracudas.
Williamson has told breath
taking story of a study he
made of sharks on the ocean
floor one mile deep in the
Caribbean Sea. He was down
in his diving tube, three
ton affair with a five-foot glass
window. A school of sharks
was lured to the spot by so gall
Ions of animal blood pumped
into the water.
Within minutes they would
have broken through the glass
plates had not the adventurer
acted swiftly. He sent up
signal for an assistant to lower
a hook baited with a great
hunk of meat. Down it came.
rapidly, though it seemed ages
to Williamson, and as it hove
in sight of the little, beady
eyes of the monsters of the
deep, they turned from the prey
they had set upon to fight for
the meat.
While the battle was on,
while 20-foot sharks we're rend-
ing each other to bloody shredS,
Williamson's assistant drew him
to the top, out of that abode
or horrors, leaving the demons
to do their savage work.

Gorham' s Reasons

In the Constitutional Conven.
ton Of 1887, Nathaniel Gorham,
of Massachusetts,, argued
strongly in favor of having the
Constitution ratified by con-
ventions in the several States.
The reasons advanced by him
then, when read in the light Of
subsequent experience, will ap.
peal to the common sense Of
thoughtful Americans.
Among Gorham's reasons for
preferring ratification by con-
ventions to ratification by legis-
latures we're:
Men chosen by the people for
the particular purpose will dis
cuss the subject more candidly.
In the States many of the
ableSt men are excluded from
the legislatures but may be
elected to a convention.
The legislatures will be in
terrupted with a variety of
little business "by artfully
pressing which designing men
will find means to delay from
year to year, if not to Illustrate
altogether, the national system"
It is doubtful whether the
Eighteenth Amendment would
ever have been put into the
Constitution had Congress pre-
scribed the convention mode Of
ratification. It is even more
doubtful whether the repeal Of
this amendment could have
been accomplished within a
single year had not Congress
prescribed the convention mode
of ratification.
If a national observance Of
"Constitution Day" this year is
devoted to the discussion of the
merits of the convention method
of ratification. public sentl-
ment may yet demand that
Congress follow this method in
the future.

ONCE OVERS

If you have little regard for
truth, you must expect untruth-
full children and could anything
be worse as a life companion?
To carry forward your own
plans and be obliged to resort
to deceit or subterfuge to gain
your end and is just as quickly
grasped by the children as
others.
Tempestuous scenes are mere
ly lack of self control.
You do not command respect
perhaps you don't want that
so much as to have others fear
your tantrumS.
For shame on such an atti-
tude when kind understanding
would work better.
And your self-respect will be
much greater.

Voting for Repeal

It is because the American
people have come to the con-
clusion that the Eighteenth
Amendment had more of evil
than of good in it and that they
are repeating it as rapidly as
the machinery Of repeal can be
set up.
Vermont is the twenty-fifth
State which by Constitutional
Convention has voted to repeal
the Eighteenth Amendment, and
more than enough States will
hold Constitutional conventions
before the end of the year to
bring the total number thus vot-
ing to SO, which is required by
the Constitution to make effec-
tive such repeal.
This experience in getting rid
of the Eighteenth Amendment
makes an appropriate topic for
discussion as the several States
observe Constitution Day."
In the Constitution as it now
stands there are two methods
prescribed for ratifying amend
mentS:
First, ratification by the leg

Fitting Oh Servance of
Constitution Day
BY James T. Williams, Jr.-

President Roosevelt's home
State sets a good example for
the other States of the Union
in proclaiming, as Governor
Lehman has done, September
II, Constitution Day"
September IT, 1888, will mark
the 146th anniversary of the
completion and signing of the
Constitution Of the United
States.
There is a special fitness in
the national observance this
year of the anniversary Of the
signing of the Federal Consti-
tuition. Every State which has
already voted to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment has
demonstrated it's loyalty to the
fundamental purposes Of the
Constitution.
In fact the repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, which
will be effective before the end
of the calendar year, will be
chiefly due to the deliberate de-
cision of the American people
that this amendment never had
a place in the Constitution, was
contrary to its aims and obstruc-
tive to it's general purposes.
And the lesson taught by the
bitter experience encountered
by the people in their futile eff
fort to enforce this unenforce-
able amendment is that when it
comes to amending the Federal
Constitution Abraham Lincoln'S
advice is a safe guide.
THE true rule in determining
anything" said Lincoln, lis not
whether it have any evil in it,
but whether it have more Of
evil than Of good"
