Tin* Outlook Heightening
VIRGINIA'S good roads stock took an
other sharp upward swing yesterday,
n.? li011 liio Senate Committee on Roads ami
Internal Navigation
i f the Yaughnn bill
issue of $ 1 L'.tUMl.o oit.
mittee's division, i>
strongly tin- merits
recorded its approval
providing for a bond
The ratio of the com
to 15, indicates how \
of the bond proposal 1
liad been impressed upon (lie minds of this
particularly croup of Senators. Recommit- (
incut to the l-'inance Committee is made
necessary by the nature of the measure, but
there is a most confident feeling among the
Irionds of good roads legislation that this
v.*ill represent only a momentary pause in
tlie course of the bill through the mill of
tlie upper branch.
An amendment that probably will result
in strengthening the bid of the Van^han bill
tor legislative approval was adopted by the
Senate committee which reported yester
day. This provides that diserelionary power
with respect to issuance of the bonds shall
In committc! to the Governor, the Treasurer
and the Attorney-General, instead of the
Governor alone, and that there shall be no
issue Willi out the approval of two of these
officials. This amendment, doubtless, was
sittached in a spirit of friendliness, and de
signed to abate still further the apprehen
sions of legislators who have regarded a
bond issue with disfavor. In any case, it
should have the effect of completely dis
arming the nio.it skeptical member; it means
that no bond-, would be istied until these
three responsible, high officials of the State
had carried out a careful survey of con
ditions, and declared by a majority vote
their belief thai the issue could be made, not
only safely, but advantageously.
The signs point to a rapid.,substantial ac
cession of strength for i(,ip gwojl Toads bond
proposal. Governor Trinkle, both at Norfolk
and in an elaboration of his views since
returning to Richmond, has presented the
/?ase for bonds in a way that leaves extreme
ly slender support for < ontinued opposition.
The arguments of the antibomls coiningoiit
01 the General Assembly, valid enough, per
haps, several months ago, and reiterated in
perfect good faith since the Legislature con
vened. have been answered with singular
conclusivene ?. The Governor's review of
the essentia 1 details in which conditions have
changed materially within recent weeks is
sustained at every point by knowledge that
is common to 1 very informed person. And
it is worthy of remark that the advantages
of these changes are to be supplemented by
reorganization of the Highway Department
along lines that will certainly strengthen
popular confidence in the efficacy of that con
structive l.ranch of the government.
The outlook for good roads is brightening.
The Governor's quickening declaration at
Norfolk marked the turning point. Yester
day's vote in a Senate committee shows the
advantage promptly followed up. The next
few days should bring the goal definitely
within vi? w.
Salaries tit the Capitol
T7 VEN-so fine a thing as economy may be
1?j overdone 1 n dealing with the matter
of salarie.- the General Assembly should
bear in mind that there is an important
distinction between retrenchment as a
.neaptire of conservative business manage
ment and retrenchment as an obsession. Out
right abolition of a public office is preferable
to financial restrict ions that destroy it* at
traction, for competent men or compel its
occupant to divert the larger share of his
attention from public duties to private
anxieties.
The General Assembly undoubtedly will be
quite *afe iit assuming that the people of
Virginia are opposed to salary reductions
that are likely to impair the State govern
ment. It is equally certain that the people
of a proud ami generous State do not wi.-li
to obtain public service, either good <>r bad,
nt a price that will mean constant humilia
tion and strie-s for the public servant.- who
render it. Culling off a few hundred dol
lars heie or a thousand or so there will not
appreciably affect the otal cost of the State
government, but it may seriously affect the
efficiency "f the government and multiply
the worries of public officials.
The return to what is called the pre-war
basis must come gradually and with some
degreo of uniformity. The necessary ex
penees of'^tho State'B employes have not
;;r r.
roached that basis vet, and their salaries |
6hould not bo adjusted with arbitrary disre
gard for this fact. They are nut Hied to a
decent, comfortable living; anil the people j
of the State want them io have it. i
It Should Ho Defeated
INSPECTION of the laws covering regu
lation of public service in Virginia shows
that the draftsman of tbo Early bill, pro
viding for regulating street railways, has
followed the exact language of the telephone
law. In other words, if the bill becomes
law, the State Corporation Commission
would have the same jurisdiction over (lie
rates and service of the street car system
in Richmond as it now has over the tele
phones of this city. That is. the city lixes
the manner in which the streets and alleys
may be occupied, and the commission deter
mines the rates and regulates the service.
Should the street railway company feel it
was not receiving proper consideration from |
the City Council, it could, under the pro- j
i posed law, apply to the commission for
higher rates. A judicial hearing would then
be had before the state body, and a decision
rendered upon the evidence.
A city can and should.control the service
and rates of urban transportation, and the
Early bill should be defeated. This juris
diction belongs to the representatives of the
people elected by them to govern tin? city's '
affairs. The bill is of very doubtful colt- f
st itutionalitv, but no chances should be >
taken. In the light of the action taken by j
the Senate committee on the jitney bill, we j
believe there is little or no reason to fear |
that the Legislature will curtail local self- j
government as applied to other forms of
st reel t ransport at ion.
It will be interesting to note during the
next two years if the Council will take (
warning from the appearance of the camel's j
nose under the tent. If an adequate fran- >
chise is granted, and the street car riders
are relieved of the present discrimination 1
against them caused by a heavy gross earn- !
ings tax - and street-paving requirements, j
making higher fares essential, there will be !
little demand for any other sort of regula- ;
lion. If, on the other hand, proper provi- j
sion is not made to take care of the growth !
of Richmond and to provide adequate return j
on the investment in public utilities, the de- |
inanil that regulation be taken out of hands j
shown to be unwilling or unable to handle I
it will lie too strong to be resisted.
The Senate for Safety
THE Senate has been subjected to fro- ,
quent and severe criticism in recent
years for a tendency to encroach upon the
powers of the President in the conduct of
our foreign affairs. It has been charged 1
with taking advantage of the "advice and |
consent" clause of the Constitution in the ]
mailer of the treaty-making power of the j
President, virtually to deprive him of the free
exercise of that power by dictating the final
form In which such treaties shall be con
cluded. In other words, it magnifies its
advisory powers far beyond the intent of
the Constitution.
While public opinion may be disposed to
I accept this criticism as justly founded, can
] dor compels the statement that in matters
pertaining to domestic policies the Senate
j shows a consideration for constitutional
| limitations that has time and again saved
this country from legfslation of a most perni
cious character sent up to it from the other
end of the Capitol. It has been a veritable
morgue for House measures which extended
Federal activity into matters which the Con- '
st it tit ion never contemplated. So, if the ;
' Senate must be criticized for a tendency to
exceed its constitutional authority in mat
ters relating to foreign policy, let's give it
i credit for teaching the House some needed
; lessons in sanity. I
i As an instance of salutary Senate func
I Honing, that body, upon receipt of the Dyer
1 antilynchiiig bill, which passed the House
j over the protests of Southern Democrats
, and a few courageous Northern Republicans,
| who declared it both unconstitutional and
unwise, referred it to the Committee on
Judiciary, where it is destined to lapse into
the dreamless sleep that knows no awaken
ing That it might not lie disturbed in its
i slumber, it was referred to a subcommittee'
! consisting of Senators Itorah, Colt and Dil
Jigham. Republicans, ami Senators Over
man and Shields, Democrats. N'o plans
| have been made for a mooting of the sub
| committee, and there seems no disposition
i on the Senate side to press the antilynchiiig
I legislation.
j With Senators Overman. Shields and
I Itorah known to be irreconcilably opposed
to the bill. Mini Senator Colt inclined that
i way on the ground of its doubtful coiistitn
| tionalitv. there is never a chance for the bill
j to reach the floor of the Senate, and even
l should it do so. Southern members are pre
pared to filibuster against it for weeks or
| months, if necessary. No, the American peo
: pie do not lightly value their bicameral leg
islative system. The upper body has too
often functioned in theii interest to bo dis
carded as worthless machinery.
Defining "Alliance"
WHEN is an alliance not an alliance?
That is the question that has to bo
threshed out to the mutual satisfaction of
both the Senate and the President before
?the system of "checks and balances" can
function expeditiously in disposing of the
four-power Pacific treaty. Some of tho Sen
ators have conceived the idea that Article II.
of the pact contains the germs of an obli
gation that might bo construed as a real
"alliance"?the mere suggestion of which
causes the clioler to rise in the liver of
certain Senators jealous of the republic's
t raditionary policy.
True, in liis message transmitting the
treaty to the Senate, the President said:
"The I'nited States understands there is no
commitment to armed force, no alliance, no
written or moral obligation to Join in de
fense, no express or implied commitment to
arrive at any agreement except in accord
ance with "ur constitutional methods."
That being true. Senator Hrandcgoo, as ]
the spokesman for the thought in tho minds
of the traditionalists, could see no reason
why t h<- President should offer objection to i
this resolution, which he offered: "The |
Tinted States understands that it assumes
no obligation, either legal or moral, to main
tain the rights in relation to tho Insular
jurse.-sions or insular dominions of any of
the othei high contracting parties, and that
the consort of the Congress of the 1'nitod
States shall be necessary to any adjustment
or understanding under Arthicle I. or II., by
which the 1'nitod States is to be bound in
any way, and ' hat thcro Is no obligation,
: i
cither legal or moral, to Rive such con
sent." ]
But tho President does object to the pro
posed reservation, notwithstanding the
claim of Senators who favor it that it only
clarifies and makes binding the President's
own interpretation of the meaning of the
article. If the President is not willing to
stand by the implication of his own words,
then there must be something in the treaty
that commits this country to some form of
alliance which would he binding on it to
do something which it might not want to
do, seems to be the idea of tho proponents
of the reservation. So. tho chances are
that the President's mind will have to "go
along with that" of Senators who are de
termined to leave no loopholes for viola
tion of the country's traditionary policy in
regard to "entangling alliances."
Spun tor Glass on the Bonus '
WI1ATBVEK view one may hold concern
ing the proposed cash bonus for war
veterans, a sense of fairness compels respect
for public men who honestly and openly op
pose it because they believe it would be
inimical to the best interests of the coun
try. There is never an oversupply of states
men who are ready to take tip an unpopular
position and frankly to proclaim it. The
bonus issue has been especially fruitful of
cowardly evasion and demagogic maneuver.
The case of Senator Glass presents a re
freshing exception, llis letter to a constit
uent who imputed to the Senator "campaign
promises" at variance with his present atti
tude toward the bonus is admirable, both
as a defense of his consistency and as a
statesmanlike expression of senatorial ideals.
It. is somewhat strange that any one could
have remained so long under a misapprehen
sion as to the position of Senator (llass on
the bonus question. His opposition to the
cash bonus was made perfectly clear, as his
letter now mentions, before he entered the
Senate; it was in the capacity of Secretary j
of the Treasury that he recommended to i
Congress rejection of the proposal. As the
author of party planks. State and national,
1 disapproving the bonus, he gave additional
proof ol" his openness and stoat!fastness. It
is manifestly true that Mr. Glass was. as he
points out in his letter, "appointed and sub
sequently elected to the Senate with a full
understanding of my position by the people
of Virginia."
Senator Glass is against the bonus because
lie believes it would he ruinous to the coun
try. "embracing in its evil effects and num
bering among its victims the ex-service men [
; along with the rest." Perhaps adherence '
to his determination to vote against tho !
bonus in accordance with this conviction will
cost him some votes when he comes up for
i re-election. That is for the future to show.
I In the meantime fair-minded people will not
withhold admiration for a public official
l who insists upon preserving his "intellectual
1 integrity" and "self-respect." and is "cheer
I fully willing to accept the consequences."
