Why This Pretence of Aatonlah tuent?
As' Governor Whitman told Dr.
John H. Fini.kv on liecember 0. when
the eMlmntes of tint Department of
Education were under consideration,
that there would be a direct State ta
of $6,000.1100 next year. It is not nee
ewary to take at their face value the
expressions of astonishment emanat
ing from Albany now when the time
hnn come to lmpoe It. Tin- finv
ernor then meditated a consolidation
of appropriation measures, a cam
paign of economy, the savlim of mil
lion", of dollars. The IKislature lias
thrown his appropriation scheme
through the window, the economies
have vanished before the needs of
politics, and the serious lup-lucss of
nupportlns the organization requires
attention.
It Is true that Comptroller Tkavis
flreamwl for n few moments of a
jear without a direct tax. Hut the
irenmstances hae chiumcd since
that vision occupied his mind, Then
Governor Whitman was to be trans,
lated to Washington, by way of the
Republican national convention, and
a grateful people was to designate
Mr. Tbavin as Its candidate fur Oov
ernor. The familiar cry "reduce the
erpeanee" waa appropriately raised;
but what profit U to be found In sus

sme of Government bonds to the
Federal Tleserve hank. Why then
are tbo reserve bunks working to keep

They are not primarily money earn
ing Institutions. They pay no Interest
on deposits, nnd the Interest return
on their Onvernment bond holdings
should lie a sufficient eomnonntlon
without a resort to the slight Incre
ment of Income obtainable through
the employment of the circulating
privilege.
The Federal Heserve act allows the
reserve bunks to put out circulating
notes on the deposit of Government
lionds with the Comptroller of the
Currency. This seems to he an un
checked power, unless in the general
terms of the authority given to the
Federal Iteservt- Hoard there Is, au
thority to regulate bond secured note
Issues. Yet In any case the Issuance
of circulating notes against Govern

The Litest addition to our aln-ady
manifold varieties of paper money
carries us further away than ever
from tho currency reformation for
which tho Federal Reserve act was
ostensibly Intended to prepare
Mr. nay's Preparedness.
In closing the debate upon the
Knhn amendment to the army bill in
the House of Itepresentatlve. on
Monday Chairman Hay exclaimed;
"I am for preparedness!" Iteally
Mr. Hay is for nothing of the sort.
If the bill that bear his name pro
vides for Increasing the regular army
by small Instalment- of lo.nno men

lto.fHSj H . not with the Hon. .Ivmks
Hay's approval hi. hand has bivti
forced". Political considerations re
quire that something shall be done
about the armv; besides. President
Wilson's, programme calls for a cer
tain amount of prepnrcdnc-; so
Chairman Hay is a good IVtnocrat.
Let Us see what the chairman of the
Commlttoo on Military Affair ald
on the subject when It was under dis
cussion on January -I. UMo. nearly
six months after the outbreak of war
In Europe;
"1 am utterly ot'pc-is.i tn iciding a
sine! mnn to the nt.indlne rtny js it
now extts. I xm not In sympathy with
those who want to add i'S.'VOO tnt-n and
1.000 oftWcrs to tho r.'ul.ir army now.
What would that cot? It would ro'
IJT.OOO.OOO alone, Jiu-t that, and would
add to our military expenditures JI",
onO.flO" a year."
At that time, fourteen month- ago,
Mr. Hay, a now, ridiculed the appre
hension that preparedness was neces
sary. The I'nlted State, was safer
from attack than It had ever been in
lis history. "Why. Mr. Chairman."
said he, "the Fnlted Stales has a
latent power greater than that of any
other lotintr.v. or of anv other three
countries, in the civilized world."
Mr. ll.vv talks in the same strain
now. "There is not a country on
earth to-day," he said In the House.
on Monday, "that has any Idea of
making war on the I'liltcd State..."
To a domestic statesman that is un
answerable logic. You must discover
that some country i meditating war
iiHn tls lefore ou prepare to defend
the country usainst possible invasion.
It will be time enough then to tap the
latent resource, of the nation, which
Mr. H.v. asserts are greater than
tho.e of "any other three countries
in the civ i cd world." This , the
old st.vle of preparedness. And, to
quote from the gentleman's seech
on .lantiar.v 21, UMo. any other kind
oi preparedness l maintained "at the
exjK-iise of our harbor. of our pub
lb.' buildings, of our roads, and of all
the other activities which ought to
engage our attention."
It Is not difficult to read the mlnd
of Mr. Hay and his friends who pro
fes to be for preparedness but actu
ally are not. They are gambling
ujion the chances of the war. If the
Allies should lie victorious prepared
ness would be a dead lsite. Mr. Hay
assumes the Allies are going to win.
Hut. on the other hand. If the Teu
tonic Powers should prevail Ger
man., would he too exhausted to
tamper with American policies. There
fore, why any preparedness? it
would be expensive, and the Memo
crats would be held responsible for
Increasing the tax burden.
As for the proposal to federalize
the National Guard, in spite of ihe
protests of the best mllltury authori
ties, s it not good polities from the
riemocratic point of view? The ot
gnnized militia would be paid out of
the Federal Treasury, and would
want more and more money as the
joars rolled round. There are no
votes in the volunteer army plan
which the Senate army bill provides
for. "I am for preparedness !" ev
claliiis Mr. Hvv. For Just a little,
the Increase of the regular army by
small annual Instalments, which he
accepted reluctantly. Tho rest Is poll,
tics, we fear.

To the non-military mind the

IS GERMANY DEMOCRATIC?
A Herman Compare Imperial and
Popular Powers.
To tub Cpitoii or Tun St'.v f lr: Let
tetn In The SI'S' have dealt with the
German Constitution, especially with the
activity and Importance of the lieioh.
tug and lt relation to the Hundesrat.
The letter of "(I, V K." of February 2
contained sn nmny mistakes that I beg
you to allow- n,e to eortect them Tae
text of the German Constitution Is given
In lhullrii translation In "The German
Umpire" by B. K. Ilowaid.
Tbo llundcsr.U Is an Institution pe
culiar to the constitutional system of
tho German Umpire, ft Is t ot an "upper
chamber," as Price ('oilier, by n ) means
an authority on German constitutional
law. likes to call It. It Is ,'t body that
stands for the federal Idea of the em
pire , an organ by means of whh h th"
individual states may assert theni'ilves
nnd where the Interplay of Mate Inter
ests Is adjusted. No close nnaloey to It
can be found In any other governmental
organization. An Idea can be obtained
by Imagining a body formed by dele
gates of the riovernors of tho Individual
SMtes of the Fnlted States, the number
if these dele?ittes being based upon
hlntoilc.il development and brought Into
aivot dance with the population and the
commercial import inoe of the St ites.
In IJ03 out of population of fiOeine.
000 for the whole empire Prufida con
tributed r.T.OIO.OOO. It cannot lj ion
tended, therefore, that a proportion of
seventeen Pru5lan tblegates to lift
eight delegate for the wholo cniplro Is
unjust or surprising.
The general rule In taking a vote In
, the Ilundesrat Is that the simple ma
Jnrlty decide There are only two ex
ception to thl rule. "(t. v. men-
1 Slons one of t-em. but ntistke It for
the general rule, contending that "Prus
sia U armed in tho lliindcfr.it with a
conservative, veto."
From it own membership th Hun
ilesr.it choose certain committees,
twelve In number, in each of these
committee nt b-ast four states beside
Prussli must be repre-ented, hut li"
state may have more than one vote In
any eoinn.lttee. lu tin. fom'nl'.tro of
; Foreign Affairs Pru'a it not rep-e-
' -i,ted at all, the commute eons sfn
of delegates of Havana, Saxony and
Win members?, with two additional
members.
The principle u.uletlylng the consti
tution and organization of the Itclchstair
j t radically d.fferent from that upon
I whleli the IStmdrt lu based. While
In the Itundesrit state lines are sharply
iirawn and th fedttal element domi
nates. n the I'.elchstig state lines nre
'Ignored and thu unitary ilttiunt 1 em
1 ihu!zd. For In the Kechi ig It Is not
. the I'lople of th Individual state that
i are represented, even by the members
, ile.'tetl within the territory of that state
and fricn the mldt of Its population.
I l-ach debgate repre-ents the toop!e of
1 the whole empire. So It Is of no sin
! tilth anca that S3" members nre from
I'russu, a fact which sem to discern
I fort "C. V K."
i There Is no three class system of vot
' In? for election to the Itele'i.ag, as "t',.
' I" K." see.T. to believe. Kierv clt.zen
of t'.e empire who ha" completed hi
ttvent- -Slft'n yea- , entitled to vote for
j member- of the Ke.tlist.i-: In whatever
i iaie ii ni.i nave ins rcsiururr. .mi
vottt. are equal nnd the members are
ehnen bv tllreet and secret hallo; at a j
general election. ,
1 The chief function of the Iteiclistac Is,
tlelgnated In Art'-de V of th Con-ti- ,
tut'on, which read n follows: "Th
legislative power shall b exercised by
th Kundesrat and the Reichstag. Th1
cor.se.".: of a majority of both bodies (
shall be t'ccessa.-y and sufficient for the
passac of an impert.il law."
The ltejehta!; !s an essential facto
In Imperial !clat!on. No bill become,
a law without It consent. Ktttps 1
Ian cannot he chansed, retr law can-
not he entcted. th Constitution cannot
b amended airalust t"ie will of th hndv
which represents the Herman people
It Is a mistake to say that no law can
originate In the ltelehlag. an the latter
has the right of initiative, that l, the
I rlgbt to propoe laws' and to transmit
' to the 15underat or the Imperial Chan-
' cellor petition addres!.! to t.
It Is true that th" Hole) stag mar b
dissolved, but a new election mut b
I tlxi.l by the Kmperor and ttie newly,
1 elected Itel.-h'tag must b summoned to
meet within ninetv days from the dat
of dissolution There exists no law
which forbids the reelection of t'i ame
rie.Ieirate for t':e new Itecbtag ; If. (
however, another election usually pro
vides a more amenable body, a "it. 1
K." sts. It slmph Itid.cates that tne
people were not at'sied with th I
sltlon th tonner members took.
A most powerful weapon has hen
given to the Bejchstus by A-'.kie I.N1N.
of th Constitution, which avs: "All
(rtceipts anil expenditures "f the empire
shall be Included In the Im-
i perial budcet. The latter sha!' 'a tle.l (
