THE TIMES AND MIR. ROOSEVELT

National note has been taken that the New Yor Times, Independent Democratic newspaper re gently endorsed the candidacy of President Roosevelt for reelection The fact that the Times, a conser vative journal took such stand has aroused consid erable comment thus it may prove interesting t many to quote a major portion of the Times edi torial in which it points out why it has taken sucl position The New York paper said in its issue of Oc tober l.
 Weighing what has been accomplished, what is proposed and what uncertainties still lie ahead The New York Times, servative newspaper in it's own sphere believes that the public welfare will best be served this year by the continuance of the Democratic party in power and by the reelection of the President. Three considerations which we regard dominant in the circumstances have led to this conclusion:
 First, we believe that MT. Roosevelt is keen enough judge of public opinion to make his second Administration more conservative than his first, in the sense that conservatism means consolidating ground already gained and perfecting measures hastily enacted. We believe this both because the tide of public opinion is now running with steadily increas- ing strength against nasty experimentation and because the President himself has moved definitely in this direction It is significant that most of the genuinely radical ideas spon- sored by the Roosevelt Administration, ideas < which were radical in the sense that they de- parted abruptly from the American tradition MIRA and AAA, for example-were products of the panic period, when, as the personal ex- perience of Governor Landon testifies, many Republicans and many conservatives hailed these very innovations as essential to the safety of the country
 Second not only do believe that forces now operating strongly will tend to make the next Roosevelt Administration more conserva- tive. in the sense of conserving the best of uha has also believe that in very fundamental way the Presidents reelection will provide in- surance against radcasm of the sort which the United States has most to fear. We say this for several reasons
 It would be blind not to recognize the essty of adapting and ameliorating politi- cal and economic structure to the changing circumstances of the modern world and

No Joint Civic and Official
legislative Program Made.

CIVIC leadership has apparently
~ been lacking to bring about
concerted joint action in support
of many legislative proposals upon
which there is a general agreement,
in principle at least. It was ex-
pected that the Commissioners
would call a conference in an en-
deavor to get the civic forces to-
eether and reach agreement upon
which practical team work would
be based, but so far nothing has
happened.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations has been handicapped
through the required reorganization
of its committees following its an
nual meeting in November. Local
veterans in District legislative work
claim to see great advantages
through all working together upon
as many measures as cap be agreed
upon. They claim such joint effort
In no way interferes with the work
of other groups for additional legis-
lation which may not have so gen.
eral approval.
The House will have its first Dis
trict day on January 13 and the
District Committee is expected to
meet before that date. There are
pending before this committee IA
bills already passed by the Senate
last session. A number Of these had
rather general civic support.
There, however, are other bills
to be introduced and many which
have had no committee considera-
ton which present problems for the
consideration of civic groups and
possible concerted action, either for
or against.

Garbage Transfer Station
improvements Recommended.

THE committee of District officials
appointed last August to study
the present method of handling and
disposal of the Districts garbage
has filed very comprehensive and
Illuminating report. The report,
after giving a concise and exhaus-
tive survey of the local problem
and methods in use, discusses and
analyses various suggestions of both
method and change of location of
the transfer station. The conclud-
ing recommendations of the COM
mittee are that all of the garbage
be taken to the reduction plant at
Cherry Hill, Va: that after a rea-
sonable notice pig feeders be denied
the privilege of hauling selected
garbage from the transfer station;
and that brick building be erected
on the present site in which will
take place all of the operations of
transfer from truck TO the gondola
railroad cars. The most modern sani-
tary methods would be followed, in
cluding the washing of the trucks
nightly in the basement Of the
building. Scrubbing, ventilation
and chemical deodorizing are in
cluded in the committee recommen-
dations for the improvement Of this
municipal service.
The committee report failed to
give any assurance that the beau
tiful flower beds, for which the
garbage transfer station has be-
come famous. will surround the
proposed building. These flowers
have been hiding behind the high.
solid fence Of corrugated iron only
to be enjoyed by employees and pig
feeders.
The report of the committee is
In five parts: Part /, statistical
records of handling and quanti-
ties disposed of; part 2, analysis
of various possible methods; part
8, alternate sites suggested for
transfer station; part 4, analysis
of conditions at the present trans
fer station, and part s, recon-
mendations.

tionnaires sent to 90 cities Of over

~ UR local Legislature is once
more in Session and that
really calls attention to
~ the greatest of all civic
problems-how to get that body
in whose selection we have had no
part and in which we are in 40
way represented, to translate into
law the desires of these voteless
Americans of the National Capital
community. Speaker Byrns has
announced that he win see that
the District shall have its day In
the House of Representatives dur
ing the session. The District Is
.ntitled to two days per month
IN that body and in the first ses-
sion of the present Congress lost
three days, one being given up by
the District Committee.
Organized civic Washington and
taxpaying Washington still awaits
the breaking Of the big mystery
our local budget. At this writing
It is understood that this long
awaited information will be re-
leased tomorrow. Civic leaders
continue to declare they cannot
see the reason for the mantle OF
secrecy which is thrown around
this public business, In which as
taxpayers and good citizens they
have so genuine an interest. These
leaders point to the Inconsistency
of those legislators who continually
REQUIRE corporations and indivld-
uals to make public their private
business and at the same time keep
the knowledge of the peoples busi-
ness from the people.
At the District Building last
week the Public Utilities Commls-
sion resumed the transit hearing.
The company is being given an
opportunity to present its side OF
the case. President Hanna entered
a vigorous complaint at what he
termed the unfairness OF the hear
ing in its earlier stages. He par
ticularly objected to the failure to
present matter from organizations
and individuals favorable to the
company. He again admitted that
the service was not all that he
would have it be and promised
improvement in many ways. In
some of the groups there have
been heard expressions Of conf
dence that Mr.. Hanna will be able
gradually to give reasonably sat
isfactory service. They point TO
the high efficiency Of the Capital
Traction Co. under his manage
ment and look for a duplication
under the joint operation.
The Commissioners have put
committees to work studying the
coming regulations and the traffic
problem with the idea of discov-
ering what, if any, new zoning
laws or regulations are needed and
the possible request for funds for
a traffic survey.
