ton, he says, was never sounder, de-
spite the huge national debt and the
prospect of heavy governmental ap-
preparations for relief and other
measures during the coming year. In
the publication field, Mr.. Roper finds
that more and more persons are sub
scribing to newspapers and periodi-
Gals, that the advertising of goods is
greatly increased, and his comment IS
that merchants do not increase their
advertising unless the outlook is OF
timistic.
Retail trade, Mr.. Roper comments,
has been larger during 1884 than during
any other year since 1929, so large dur
ing the Christmas holidays as to strip
the shelves of the stores in many of
the cities. With so great a turnover
of goods and money, the country
should be able to look forward to
more and more employment of labor
and production of goods. In the final
analysis, prosperity and recovery-the
terms have become interchangeable in
modern parlance-depend upon the
creation of goods, upon wealth, and
not upon its restriction.

to paint great landscapes either. The
same ink, the same brush and the
same stroke are used both to dash off
great photographs and to delineate
the subtle moods Of the orchid in
Summer and Autumn or of the bam-
boo in moonlight and in rain.
Perhaps the basic difficulty is that
in America people no longer are much
concerned with such poetical things
as Subtle moods" But the problem
might be argued from a practical
angle. Good penmanship, even
among fountain pen and typewriter
users. is not exactly a liability. In
deed, there still are numerous busi-
ness executives who. considering ap-
plications for employment. might
agree with the Oriental dictum: "As
a mans language is an index of his
nature, SO the actual strokes of a
mans brush in writing or in painting
betray him and reveal the nobility of
his personality or his meanness."

Last Day.

Calendar divisions, of course, are
entirely arbitrary. Life does not
pause at any special date in the year.
One twenty-four hour period is very
much like any other. The race, in
cluding all the innumerable individ-
uals who have part in it, moves al
most indifferently from sunrise to
sunrise. Few are conscious of varia-
tion in successive weeks or months,
few notice even the mutation of the
seasons from Spring through their
annual course to Winter. The process
of alteration is SO gradual as to be
practically imperceptible.
But scientists, beginning ages ago,
have formulated a pattern of chrono-
logical measurement which, for OBJ
vious reasons of convenience, gen.
orally has been adopted, with the re-
suit that now particular significance
attaches to the final quotidian frac-
tion of the earth's perennial journey
around the sun. People have formed
the habit of glancing backward over
the recent past and of adjusting
themselves, much as a runner does
for a foot race, to the business of the
immediate future. They watch the
old year out" and welcome the new
year in," and the occasion GUS
tomarily has an aspect of congenial
joviality.
And somehow, for causes not very
clearly defined, December 81, 1884,
seems curiously but notably important.
Looking back, millions appear to be
grateful for the year that is passing;
and, looking ahead, the same multi
tudes, 1t may be observed, are cheer
full in anticipation. The psychology
OF the moment is optimistic A Ger
tain confidence is perceptible. What
the explanation is, no one has both
cred to decide. Perhaps it is simply
that men and women are tired of
being fearful and nervous. The plain
fact, regardless of motivation, is that
humanity is happier than it was a
dozen months ago. A philosopher may
rejoice in the circumstance. 1t is not
q social liability, he understands, for
the masses to be unafraid.

Since a share of happiness
Lies in memories we possess.
Old year, We cannot forget
Duties that were bravely met,
Nor the courage that was taught
When the hours with doubt were
fraught.
Old year, mid the shades of guile
You have offered many a smile,
Like the sunshine, clear and warm,
That must conquer every storm.
Be the future what it may,
Pioneers have shown the way.

Fiscal Equity for Washington.

The articles in editorial correspond
ence concerning "Fiscal Equity for
Washington" appearing each day on
page three of The Star, have COM
pleted today the discussion of the
equitable obligation of the Nation to-
ward the maintenance and upbuilding
of the Nations city and will consider
tomorrow the obligation of the Cap
ttals taxpayers in connection with the
seat of Government.
The national obligations include
those incurred by the Federal Govern
ment as by far the largest District
owner of untaXed real estate; as the
despotic controller of the seat of
Government and as the recipient of
more in national taxes from the Dis
trict of Columbia than from any one of
twenty-four of the States. 1t is hoped
that recognition of these equities will
be followed by some measure of reim-
bursement, as by increasing equitably
and substantially the annual lump
sum payment, if that appropriative
practice is still retained.
In ensuing discussion Of the local
taxpayers obligation to the National
Capital, it is urged that in comparing
Washington's tax burden with those
of other cities certain considerations
be taken into account.
First, the yardstick of measurement
should be per capita tax levies, and not
evaluated or adjusted tax rates.
Second, that due consideration
should be given to the higher standard
and greater thoroughness of assess
ment in the District.
Third, that interest and outlay ex-
penditures in comparisons between
city costs for maintenance are con-
fusing and misleading and should be
eliminated from such comparisons,
and fourth, that State taxes should
not be considered in these compari-
sons, since the District enjoys no State
benefits
Washington is adequately taxed,
and, in view of its peculiar disabilities,
heavily taxed.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

the first woman cabinet officer in sec
ond place. There's little doubt where
the women's vote would go, If that
should come to pass.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg's
letter to Chairman Mellen of the New
York County Republican Committee
sounds like the platform on which the
Michigan Republican is ready to be-
come contender for the 1896 presi-
Dental nomination. Mr.. Vandenberg
calls for G. o. P. that shall be nb-
eral, neither floundering to the re-
dictionary right nor staggering to the
radical left" He thinks the liberalism
OF Lincoln safe compass to steer by,
and identifies himself with the Lin
colnian view that labor is prior to
and Independent of capital and de-
serves much the higher consideration.
Warmly does the Wolverine statesman
espouse the Lincoln theory that I'VE
must lean upon the heart Of the great
mass of the people, satisfied to be
moved by its mighty pulsations."
While Senator Vandenberg Is not an
avowed candidate, his acts and utter
ances in Congress henceforward are
likely to be viewed as those of a man
who Is at least in receptive mood. No
Republican at this writing is farther
out In front.
When the United States Indian
Service appointed Miss Gladys Tan
taquidgeon to make a survey of the
Indians Of New England, she was de-
scribed as being about the last of the
Mohicans. Now comes news that
there are still some ITS members of
her tribe extant in the Northeast, Of
whom 30-odd live in a settlement in
the Thames Valley, near Norwich,
Conn, where Miss Tantaquidgeon and
her brother make their home and
maintain q museum Of relics of the
Eastern tribes. The purpose of the
New England survey is to determine
the number Of persons Of partial or
full Indian blood in that region who,
under the Wheeler-Howard act, are
entitled to Government aid in obtain
ing education.

second Roosevelt birthday ball to
raise funds for relief of infantile
paralysis sufferers believe the pro-
ceeds will be materially higher than
the 81 900 900 raised last year. They
base their expectation on the fact
that this time 70 cents Of each dollar
will be spent in the locality where
each birthday party is held. The re-
naming 80 cents will be allocated to
the national commission which is

Former Representative Richard s.
Aldrich, Republican, of Rhode Island,

Government Credit Report

versely only when they are doubt
full"
1T seems to be an open question"
according to the New York Herald
Tribune, whether there is suficient
genuine demand for this type of
credit to justify the establishment Of
an entirely new banking mechanism.
Many students Of the question say
that there is not such q demand the
Virfer committee apparently believes
that there is It seems to us that this
question of fact should be the deter
mining one in shaping our banking
policy. If there is a really serious
need for this sort of credit, then by
all means let us provide the machin-
cry for it, but if there are, as some
say, only a handful of discontented
Would-be borrowers, 1t would seem a
useless extravaganza to go to this
trouble and expense. But in any
event, let us cease blaming our COM
mercial banks for having learned
something about sound practices from
the events of the '2Os; and let us
stop trying to drive them into bank
ing fields and into banking practices
where they do not belong"
Bankers are more eager today than
ever before to lend money, but they
demand adequate collateral" saws the
Yakima Wash) Herald, while the
Owensboro (Ky) Messenger refers to
the bankers position that credit will
expand as the depression passes"
and the Jackson (Mich) Citizen Pa
triot advises that ANY banker who
hberalized credit while Washington
demanded hquidity and conservatism
would be inviting closure" The Okla
homa News comments: Recent ac-
ton by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. and the Federal Reserve Board,
reducing the maximum interest on
time deposits to 215 per cent, may ac-
compliSh more than all the admin
istration's pleas to bankers for easier
credit, since it helps to turn idle
capital into productive channels"
While finding some recommended
tions OF merit" in the report, the
Wall Street Journal advises: "It must
be regretted that the investigators
stopped short of any consideration
of reasons why the normal supply of
permanent capital in industrial and
mercantile enterprises is not func-
toning. They may have regarded
such questions as outside their terms
OF reference. But 1t is impossible to
consider their proposal to revolutien-
ize the foundation Of deposit banking
without the same time considering
all the circumstances which persuade
them OF the necessity of such a
change"

Gardening is an inexhaustible theme

Gardening Is an inexhaustible theme
for those who enjoy it.
Right here at the beginning Of
Winter, with the ground and trees
everywhere bare. and even the hardy
evergreens so often brownish. there
is something exciting to think about
in relation to the garden.
The garden catalogues
Pretty soon, If not already, they
will come drifting IN, by the hands
of the same estimable gentlemen who
recently brought SO much happiness
to the land.
Postmen everywhere will be deliv-
ering pamphlets of medium and extra
thickness, called seed catalogues, re-
plete with pictures and descriptions
of all the new and old things to plant
next Spring.
Next Spring.
It. Is not very far off, now, it Is
pleasant to think.
Just around the corner, as 1t were,
but, unlike the much -heralded pros
perity of few years past, not forever
lodging.
No, Spring always comes.
The planets in their revolutions take
care of that, and it makes no differ
ence to the planets whether any one
particular human being is present to
see their handiwork or not, they 60
right ahead revolving just the same.
Fortunate man, any man, to be able
to see this vast display, to under

X X X
To be a gardener, even in a very
poor way, helps put one in tune with
the universe.
What a universe it is, to be sure
one needs all the assistance possible
to come into remote tune with the
thing, it is at once so large, so nom
understanding, so remote, though we
tramp upon part of it, so non-under-
standable, although we breathe part
Of 1t as air.
We breathe air, yes, but the very
air is composed of several gases, some
of them in such minute quantities that
they were discovered only few years
ago. Yet living creatures had beer
breathing them all these centuries.
So it makes no difference, from
one way of looking at it, whether we
know or do not know; the very all
Is curiously combined as by most
subtle chemistry, indeed, to have what
air ought to have evidently.
X X X
Yet to know little about this ave-
full, monstrous universe, that is some
thing, something very much worth
while.
There is no better way than Nature
study, in any of its branches.
OF this study no department Is
more embracing than the garden, for
here one runs into the real children
of earth from tiny seeds not as large
as grains of sand. to the gigantic
trees, from the invisible microbes
which help in soil chemistry to the
very dogs and cats which like gar
dens, too.
At this time of year, when snow
may or may not be on the ground, but
when it is very likely to be cold enough
for all practical purposes, far toe
cold for many Of us, there might seem
to the unobservant to be nothing
doing at all in the ordinary yard,
POLITICALLY and practically called a
garden.
Much is going on there, however,
some OF it visible to the nquiring
mind
The best thing that goes on there,
no doubt. is hope, which rises like a
