tional elections about in such
a way that money may not be
spent for corrupt purposes.
Every one recognizes that In
order to have the great poll
tical issues properly contested
there Is q certain need Of
money. Leaders in Con-
gress are q unit in declaring it
is only when money is expend-
ed to corrupt voters that the
expenditure can be criticized.
But it is generally considered
that the subject will give rise
to an immense amount Of de-
bate In the next Congress.
There are a score Of Senators
and a large number Of Repre-
sentatives who will wish to 60
on record saying things about
the corporations and the prac-
tice of corporations making
contributions to political cam
paigns."
Overhead Wires
Washington was in the
middle Of a big project in 1905
identifying itself by getting
rid of overhead wires. On Sep
tember 20 of that year, The
Star reported this segment Of
the program: 'In the process
Of removing the overhead wires
from the streets Of Washing
ton, under the policy Of the
Commissioners and Congress,
the American Bell Telephone
Co. has applied to the
Rock Creek Park Commission,
composed Of the Commissioners
and the chief Of engineers Of
the Army, for permission to
cross the park in order to sub
stitute a line for their through
trunk line from New York to
the South, which now runs on
14th street and Columbia road
and twice crosses 18th street.
The members Of the park COM
mission are reluctant to have
this line cross the park. and
are determined that If it has to
be done it must be done at the
narrowest part practicable and
in the least conspicuous way.
The Commissioners are, Of
course. very desirous to get this
long and heavy overhead line
OF the streets which it now
encumberS. :"
Judge Parker
Politics, then as now, was q
lively topic Of discussion, and
the perennial optimism Of the
politicians was discussed In an
editorial In The Star on Sep
tember Is, 1905. Judge Park
err" The Star said, ION his way
to Kentucky to argue q case
in court, was interviewed in
Cincinnati and spoke hope
fully of the party's prospects.
Hope is a mighty good thing.
and Judge Parker is to be con.
graduated on being under its
influence. He also declared
that he appreciated the hui
morous side Of last years land
slide. Now q sense Of humor
is another good thing, and as
Judge Parker possesses that,
twice blessed Is he. Let 1t be
noted. too. that this defeated
champion Of the democracy Is,
like Mr.. Bryan. still q young
man; like Mr.. Bryan again, is
thriving in private life; and,
like MIR. Bryan still again, is
keeping an eye on politics. He
presented a pathetic appear
ance on the evening Of the
November election day, but as
everything in the affairs of
the democracy is awhirl these
times. even he may come to
the top again"
Evening star., 1955-09-18

Quite clearly, the struggle
now going on within the Eli
senhower administration Is the
most serious and far-reaching
that has occurred since it be-
gan. Certainly it presents the
President with what perhaps
is the most vital decision he
has had to make since his In
auguration. The question, Of
course, is whether to slice
again the huge appropriations
for defense in order to bal
ance the budget and maybe
make possible a tax reduction
in an election year.
The amount thus to be saved
is 81 billion and II that much
can be found anywhere except
In the defense funds 1t has not
yet been suggested. AS to the
wisdom of making 50 deep q
cut there are strong argu-
ments on both sides. Naturally
the leader Of the budget-bal-
ancing forces Is Secretary Of
the Treasury George Hum
phrey. BY many Mr.. Hum
phrey Is regarded as the ablest
member Of the cabinet. He IL
personally close to Mr.. Eisen-
hover. who has the highest
regard for him. and he is miles
above any petty. selfish or
political consideration. He Is
firmly convinced that the
economies demanded can be
made without seriously i'm
pairing our military strength
or risking the national Sc
curity.
y. Businessmen In Accord
The great bulk Of the busi-
nessmen of the country sup
port this position. In addition
there are powerful Republican
politicians who feel that any
other course would be q mis-
take. In between Is Mr.. Eisen-
hover. The decision will be
his and the responsibility Is
very great. It is true that In
his 1852 campaign his chief
promise to the people was that
II elected he would balance
the budget. It Is true, too.
that he Is anxious to keep that
promise. It Is further true
that budget balancing.
whether or not accompanied
by q tax reduction, would
make him unbeatable for q
second term.
On the other hand he is Q
soldier as well as q statesman.
He knows that the danger Of
war was not completely obyi-
ated by the Geneva confer
ence. AS well as any man in
the world he knows how to
evaluate Russian promises and
what it cost us after both

II to let down our guard and
weaken our defenses. Natural

ported this sad news on Sep
tember II. 1905: Tomorrow
morning the first school bells
Of 1866 will be rung from
all grade buildings at $50
o'clock. Woe to the teacher
who reaches the building after

teachers have been employed.
Many additional advan-
tages are open to the school
boy and girl this year, both
by way Of equipment and in
struction. Not only are there
three new schools soon to be
ready for occupancy, the Busi-
ness High School and the Blow
and the Rose, grade buildings,
but there are new kindergar-
tens and two entirely new
training schools for kinder
garten teachers. One Of
the most significant signs Of
the greater care which is given
to the health Of children while
in school is the attention paid
to ventilation, lighting, heat
ing and plumbing. In some
schools the entire system Of
plumbing has been modern
ized. Forty thousand dollars
has been expended on the in
stallation of new plumbing and
more than $4,000 on repairs"

Political Funds
The matter of contributions
to political campaigns was as
touchy an item SO years ago as
1t is today. On September 81.
1905, The Star reported: 1T Is
expected that during the next
session Of Congress the Presi-
dent will recommend legisla-
ton relating to the making of
political contributions. It is
quite generally believed that he
will refer to that matter in his
next annual message, and
there are many Senators and
Representatives who favor
