Why Go Outside?

w AAJ W. OuVOAANs
It is announced that gentleman from Texas who has
been in Washington occupying Federal job for about
year, will probably be appointed to head the insurance
department Of the District government
It is announced at about the same time that member
of the House District Committee is ready to launch
investigation to determine why there has been much
shiy shalying about appointing local to the post
of superintendent of local penal institutions post
which may be vacated at any moment.
We hope that in view of the first announcement listed
above the member of the House committee will find it
convenient to extend his proposed investigation.
HE, OR SOMEBODY ELSE WHO TRULY HAS
THE INTERESTS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
AT HEART, SHOULD MAKE AN EFFORT TO FIND
OUT WHY DISTRICT OFFICIALS ARE so PRONE
TO 60 OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY WHEN THE
OPPORTUNITY ARISES TO MAKE AN APPOINT
MENT IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
It should be necessary require by law that ap-
pointments in the local government should go local
citizens
That seems to be too commonsense proposition to
require statutory backing.
Yet if the present practice persists there would
to be no alternative.
Jobs requiring the most intimate contact Nth
local MTUUS ana LHe most HGL0uLe EHOWLeHye W
local conditions; jobs Uhich are paid for out of
purely local funds, daily being giUen to persons
uUhO are brought here from long distances DhO are
completely out of touch NTH local affairs and UhO
haven't the Uaguest notion OF Uhat the District gOU
eminent is all about.
THAT IS A PREP0sTEROUs CONDITION BUT
ONE WHICH OUR LOCAL CITIZENS, BECAUSE OF
THEIR STATUTORY INABILITY TO GOVERN
THEMSELVES ARE PoWERLEss TO REMEDY.
The organic act Of the District requires that the Com
issoners shall have been residents of the District for at
least three years prior to their appointments.
AS A DECLARATION OF POLICY BY CONGRESS-
WE THINK THAT THAT REQUIREMENT SHOULD
BE AS BINDING UPON THOSE WHOM THE COM
MssIoNERs APPOINT AS UPON THOSE WHO ARE
APPOINTED COMMISSIONERS.
Obviously the Congress in establishing that require
ent in 1878 desired to preserve something Of the local
aspect of the local government.
That aspect cannot be preserved after the CON-
nssiOners are appointed in conformity Nth the act
they then proceed to load up their subordinate off,
ces Nth rpet-bGggers.

 New York, July le-(UP)-Stocks mounted to the best levels of the year during the past week. The in- dustrial average reached new high since 1881. Rails and utilities were the best since loSS in their respec- tive averages.
 Trading increased. Sales on the stock exchange were the highest for any week since the week ended May 2 and except for that they were tho best since the week of March 2i.
 Meantime business continued at Q better than seasonal pace keep- ing the years total output to the best levels since 1880. Automobile nianu- facturers predicted they would have the best year since 1929. Electricity output set Q new record high, bring lnR out the prediction that 1t soon would be necessary to expand plants Steel operations rose more than O point. Car loadings were ct new high for the year. Wholesale trade jumped 20 per cent above 1885 and retail trade was up l2 to IS per cent over . year ago. Only automobile output and building Jagged for the week, their declines being considered only temporary.
 While stocks were making new highs, the bond market was unset- tied by 0 break in United States government issues. The obvious req son for that decline was c move of the federal reserve in raising rec serve requirements as of August l6 Traders concluded 1t might be neces- sary for some banks to sell govern ments to bolster reserves and they dumped holdings with the decline resulting, Bond experts held this fear was ungrounded and predicted early return to equilibrium.
 Tn stock market circles the rise in reserve requirements was vari- ously received. Most observers felt 1t Woul6 have little influence unless money rates hardened. The reserve said 1t did not anticipate any change from tho easy money situa- ton. Bankers pointed out that even with the rise in requirements excess reserves of tho system after August ib would be around s2,000,- 100000 Q level never seen before the past year or 50.
 Commodities had 0 bit of reaction after their recent rise. Corn contir1- ued to make wide gains but the rise In other grains subsided as rains molstened the drouth area. Cotton futures had asiSeable setback Oh technical grounds, Losses were noted in sugar, coffee, oottonseed oil, rub- ber and silk futures. Gains were made by hides, cocoa, lead, copper and woolw. Increased prices for cop- per, incidentally, aided the market for copper shares.
 Earnings for the second quarter appeared in greater profusion and most of them appeared favorable However, some confusion resulted from inability to make accurate comparisons because of inability oi many of the companies to compute tax requirements under the new ta' bill which has not yet been clarified by the bureau of internal revenue

Trade Lightened in Market, But Prices Made Can.

Industrial Average Reached New High Since lOSl;
 Rails, Utilities Were Best for Three Years

Outstanding in the earnings col- ,imn was the Bell system report which showed earnings for Aneri- can Telephone more than sufficient for It's dividend requirements. It was the first time since 1881 that the dividend has been covered. Size- able gains over Q year ago were re- ported by the electrical equipment companies, some of the building cor- poratlons and utilities. It was esti- mated that U. s. Steel corporation would show $1 Q share ct least earned for the second quarter.
 Steel stocks relaxed from the re- cent pressure and their ability to move up aided the main list. Strike fears seem to have subsided. Motor stocks ran into profit-taking but closed the week little changed Rails were higher. Johns Manvllle and International Cement rose on good earnings. Oils got under way late in the week as did coppers, Douglas Aircraft, Sears Roebuck, Allied Chemical and Westinghouse Electric led their respective divi- sions. Farm equipment issues and fertilizer stocks sold lower late in the week.

 Steel news featured the business reports. Youngstown area operations will start next week at 7S per cent of capacity, against . present rate of 76 per cent. Pittsburgh'b rate was placed at between 08 and e per cent, unchanged from the present level. A year ago Pittsburgh was at e rate of 3l per cent and two years ago it was down to 2i per cent.
