Problem in Political Economics.

Among the Thou Shalt Nots" con-
tanned in the pending District appropri-
alton bill the prohibition against oper-
alton Of the Districts two new trash
disposal plants and the prohibition
against operation Of the Districts
Laboratory FOR testing materials used in
highway construction take high rank
as whimsical legislation.
These legislative proposals provide
curious commentaries on the method
Of legislation for this municipality.
The trash-disposal plants were erected
by direction Of Congress at a cost to
the taxpayers Of about $500 900 in order
to end the disgraceful nuisance Of the
trash-burning dump across the Potomac.
The laboratory for testing highway
material was established some time ago
and has been in continued use ever
since, by direction Of Congress, at a
heavy annual cost to local taxpayers.
But the maintenance of these two es-
Establishments costs money. So out they
go. Neither the problem Of future dis
posal of trash nor the problem of the
future testing Of highway material has
been adequately solved. The taxpayers
are out Of pocket to the tune of several
hundred thousands of dollars repre-
sented by investments made for them by
one Congress, but the wisdom of which
is disputed by a succeeding Congress.
The harassed local taxpayer is In
vited to make his own computation of
the savings thus SO generously made in
his behalf by his legislators.

Zangara.

Examination of the records has in
dicated that the man who attempted to
kill President-elect Roosevelt at Miami
Wednesday night has no connection
with any radical organization or group.
He is a naturaliZed citizen, having tax
en- his final papers little less than two
and half years ago. He has no police
record, either in Italy or in this coun-
try, as far as can be ascertained. He
seems to have developed an anarchistic
complex. In his pocket was found a
clipping giving an account of the assas-
sination of President Lincoln by Booth.
He declared that he was against" all
police and all Presidents. He asserted
that he had attempted the life of the
King Of Italy, though this is doubted.
Probably this man is a paranoiac,
dangerously deranged mentally. Just
so was Czolgosz, who slew President
Mckinley, and, despite the verdict of
the court in that case, so was Guiteau
who took the life of President Garfield.
Neither of these men was representa-
tive of an organization of murderous
enemies of organized society, although
Czolgosz had been tainted by them.
Zangara's purpose, avowedly to de-
stroy the President-elect, was maniacal
and to an extent symptomatic of the
unrest incident to the depression that
has prevailed for the past two or three
years. His delusion appears to have
been one Of resentment against the In.
dividual' representative Of the organ.
