Water Additions
By 1949 Put
AT $12,000,000
Senute Unit Told
Engagements Will
Be Needed
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate subcommittee han
ding the 1910 District appropriation
bill was told today that Washing
ton will need a $4,000, 900 enlarge
ment of its water supply system
within the next 10 years.
In view of the time that will be
required for its construction, in
cluding third conduit from the
source of supply, the subcommittee
took under consideration the advis-
ability of making a preliminary ap-
preparation of $4,000 now to begin
studies of the project.
Foreseeing the approaching need
for this expansion the District in
1888 began setting aside a water
reserve fund, which, by the end of
next fiscal year, will contain ST.
100000.
Quarterly Readings.
But, even if the city continues
to put aside approximately $500, 900
a year for this purpose, officials
said it will have on hand only about
$4,000, 900 or half the required out
lay. Engineers say it will be neces-
Sary to have the new part of the
system finished by 1850.
In this connection, questions by
Chairman Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, brought out that the city
furnishes the Federal Government
$780, 900 worth Of free water annu-
ally.
The subcommittee which heard
testimony today on the restoration
OF $l3,320 to inaugurate quarterly
reading Of water meters and semi
annual issuance Of bills. Meters are
read now annually. officials testi-
ned the new system would result
In savings of $50,00O a year.
Road Study Weighed.
In connection with highway es-
Inmates, the subcommittee con-
sidered an amendment to permit
employment of temporary personnel
for comprehensive survey Of future
highway needs, to be made in CO.
operation with the United States
Bureau of Public Roads.
The subcommittee hopes to con-
clude the testimony of public officials
tomorrow, when the requirements
OF the Health Department, the Dis
trict Militia and the Office of Public
Buildings and Parks will be taken up
The remainder of the week prob.
ably will be devoted to hearing
spokesmen for city wide and neigh
borhood organizations.
The subcommittee is not expected
to be ready to act on changes in the
House bill until sometime next week

A BOORISH ATTACK
minneapolis Tribune)

The sooner the veil is drawn over
Representative Shorts boorish at
tack on the President last Thursday
the better it will be. The question of
establishing a library at Hyde Park
to house Mr.. Roosevelt'S state papers
may invite honest differences of opin-
ion, but the bitter personalities in
which the Missouri congressman in
dulged had no place in the debate
To imply that the President is "an
egocentric megalomaniac," as Mr..
Short did, was to overstep the bounds
of propriety and good taste by shock
ingly wide margin.
The argument that presidential
papers should be kept in Washington
as simple matter of convenience and
availability unquestionably has much
to commend it. Yet Mr.. Roosevelt's
sentimental attachment for Hyde
Park, and his desire to see library
facilities provided at his ancestral
home, are easily comprehensive. 1t
is not necessarily self-glorification on
the Presidents part to show an inter-
est in the disposition of his papers,
and those who attribute that motive
to him seem much less interested in
discrediting the project per Sc than
in maligning Mr.. Roosevelt.
The library, after all, would be
built through private subscription,
with the President donating the pro-
ceeds of his writings while in office,
and the Federal government would
have only the responsibility of main
tanning it. Perhaps future genera
tons will appreciate the Hyde Park
library, even if Mr.. Short gags at
the idea, and will credit the President
with far better purposes than the
Missourian is willing to concede him.
Whatever we may think of Mr.. Roose-
velt's new deal, it is certain that his
state papers will have a compelling
interest for historians; and it is even
possible that the Presidents estate
on the Hudson river will seem, in
retrospect, to be an ideal place for
them.

tomorrow. There is an unequal
distribution of the desire and the
ability to manage personal af-
fairs AS long as there is an UNI
equal distribution Of these quail
tiles that are so intimately linked
with success and the acquisition
of material wealth in our scheme
of living there will continue to
be an unequal distribution of
wealth.
The News editor loses sight of the
fact that the average discussion for
a more even and just distribution of
wealth would not take away directly
from those who have and give to
those who have not but rather the
progressive trend today is to have
those of wealth bear their proper
tomato burden of government, so
that those with lesser degree of
earning power, or talent as the News
Editor puts it, will not be burdened
more than their just share and can
therefore help themselves to greater
extent. In other words that their
standard of living might be raised.
The weak should be helped and not
enslaved in this modern civilization
of ours Surely there will always
be uneven distribution of ability and
surely there will always be those
among us who do not try nor care to
help themselves, but let not the News
Editor lose any sleep that sane
person is advocating literally taking
away wealth from those who have
it and giving to them who haven't,
except through a process of causing
wealth to put back into the machin-
cry of society proportionate share
of what it takes out, just as does the
News Editor, have to put back into
his newspaper equipment that which
is taken out of it while it is creating
wealth for him.
We have no compliments to give
to the Shiftless, but we do have pity
for the unfortunateS, who love their
families just the same as the more
fortunate and who would give them
better things of life if it were avail
able to them.
Distribute the earning powers and
the opportunities and we will dis
tribute wealth.

Many contend that economic
peace will not come until there

for this apparently do not stop
to think that the distribution of
wealth is no more uneven than
the distribution of many things
in this world. There is an UNI
equal distribution of talent, some
have much and some have little.
There is an unequal distribution
of thrift and industry and self
denial, the hallmarks of success.
There is an unequal distribution
of the desire to accomplish things,
to get ahead, to be somebody and

MUCH mas Deen SAID ana written
about the farm problem and in re-
cent issue the Minneapolis Journal
points out the following statistics
furnished by the Federal Bureau of
Agricultural Economics:
when the present year began"
says the Bureaus report, 1.-The num-
Der of rural people under farm pop
ulation,' having previously declined,
had come up again, and stood at
32,059,000. In 1910 the figure was at
record high, 32,O77,OOO. The $4,000
difference is inconsequential and the
food producing population may be
said to be the same for 1889 as for
1910.
''In 1910, the country's total pop
ulation was 90 million. For 1889 it
is estimated at 1870 million. The re-
lation of the 80 million, producing in
1910, to the total 90 million, stood
3 to l. The 80 million now feeding
$50 million stands to l. Turning it
about, for every 33 persons who pro-
duced in 1910 there were 81 others
to help consume their products. But
now for every rs persons who are
producing there are rs non-produc-
ing consumers"
Going a little farther than did the
Journal we might quote from figures
furnished in the midst of the depres-
sion by a 1886 year book. In these
it is seen that in 1910 the total farm
income of the 80 million was 5,218
million dollars, while in 1884, during
the present depression period, the
income for the 80 million farmers was
practically the same-5,287 million.
These last figures can only repre-
sent one thing and that is when the
same number of farmers get the
same amount of money for feeding
about 38 million more people, those
farmers are making less wages and
working much harder than they die
25 years before, for certainly those
100 million people are eating much
more than did 90 million.
There must be a reason for the
farmers income to lag when the
population has increased considerably
but so far it seems no one has found
the solution.
In looking farther into the same
year book we find that in 1910 there
were 3,148.7 million dollars in circu-
lation in the United States and in
1884 5,373.5 million dollars were ir
the hands of the people. In other
words 90 million had but 3,148.1
million dollars while in 1884 13C
million had 5,373.5 million.
Considering the income of the farm
er, someone must have had more
than their share in 1884 as compared
with 1910. And that may be one
of the mysteries surrounding the farm
situation which has 80 million farm.
ers feeding a population of 100 mil
lion for the same price that the 81
million received for feeding but 81
million in 1910. In other words some
one must be getting some money that
really belongs to the farm population
We hear of surplus, but there
must be something wrong when there
is surplus with the same farm
population, feeding one-third more
people. What is it?
