M e L e MARIETTA, GA., MAY 16, 1913. WASHINGTON LETTER Washington City, MAY 12, 1918, The House has finished the Tariff bjil and it is now before the Sen qfé‘ Finance Committee. The Com :ﬂttee has been at work on the mea sﬁ!:e ever since it was reported to (ﬁe House and has already made eﬁnsidcral)le progress in its consider a{inn. 1t will probably be report ed to the Senate by the Committee it about three weeks and then the ﬁng, hard fight on the floor will be sfarted. There is no limit to debate il the Senate and the bill may not be ﬁigll‘y passed until August or Sep tafnlw' Meantime the House will wsider reforms in the banking and 31*1‘0:2‘-,\' laws. . | % wow f Washington is very Dbeautiful these Muy days. The grass in the p’arma is kept bright and green and trees are given the most skilled at tention. Down home we hardly kiow the Elm, but there are a great u.i.nny stich trees in Washington. The park in front of the Capitol con- | taing numbers of them and near the entrance to the Senate office build ing is an especially fine one. The‘ trunk s large and the wide stretch-' éng branches are low and the shade s deose. It is a grand old tree,' glately and dignified, an “Immem ofial Y im” worthy of a poets affec tign and tribute. l * * * * * This park has on its West side the great Capitol and on the East the Congressional Library Bldg. On the North i 3 the Senate Office Building and o 1 the South the House Oﬂice‘ Building. These office buildings are exactly alike, snowy white, With: great marble columns that show . mast bheautiful through the’ green of the trees in the park. l Of all the trees in the Park I think [ shall pick out for myself! ai the one I shall love, the big old Eim that 1 have mentioned. Some how it seems to invite me to rest uncer its shade I could lie there'! on the grass and see the (‘upitol} batlicd in the brightness of the sun-i light, «nd admire the mighty dome, surmounted by the figure on whose face fulls first every morning the hght of the rising sun. And beyond the Capitol the Washington Monu ment and still beyond Ar]ington‘ Helgiits and the home of Lee. 1} should like to lie under the old KElm and rest and think about our ey rnment and how much the hap gmness of a hundred million people is involved in the course of a few men , i the hie building over there ‘ . N K 8 % ' *ut no hody in this office has any thae to lie down on the grass and rest under big Elms and ruminate. ! This s a game of hustle. If I were to tel! you what a day with a United States Senator means you would not betieve it | senator Hoke Smith's mail uvcr-l ages a hundred and fifty letters a day When he reaches his office sdon after breakfast he finds on his desk a pile of letters about eight mches in thickness, many of them séveral pages in length. Now, to read an average letter, consider the renly and dictate the answer, read the answer before signing and then sign the letter, takes four or five wnnutes That would mean ten honurs steady work : senator Smith sees no callers be fore ten o'clock, but devotes him sélf to his mail By ten there are asually from six to a dozen persons waiting to see him and that is about the size of the crowd all day. At ud4if past ten there is frequently a Gommittee meeting or hearing of some kind The Senate meets some {udes at twelve and sometimes at two t{, usually adjournes about six. The ¢sult is that Senator Smith carries Geome with bim at night a big bas ot of letters and his two stenogra pghers meet him there to receive the dictation and frequently work until midnight. lln addition he has to Meke many visils to the Departments 2314 the White House. He has never 91 hour of recreation, is never at thg theater, never at a ball game, never out for a pleasure ride in his aytomobile, but in every wa‘xing minute is buckling down to hard 'work. ’ * * . - * Just at this time the Tariff is causing the most of the hard work. Those who want office also requir ing attention. Senators and Cong ressmen are anxious to do all they 'can for those who want office, and their only regret is their inability to do much. When the weightier matters of the Tariff and Curren cy are disposed of thé hope is that Ithe Civil Service fraud will be given a shake-up. In the Census office 'four hundred men are employed and jof these not as many as forty are 'Democrats. There are twice as many lneg;roes in the Census office as there are Democrats. By the way, they are getting af ter the negro question in the De .partménts. A movement is on foot to segregate the negro employees and to stop the present system of having whites and blacks work side by side. If the Democrats could stay in power for two or three terms 'something might be accomplished but it will take an aggressive fight to produce results. | When I see how the negro is treated in Washington I am aston ished at the way the Californians feel toward the Japanese. For my part, I think no foreigner should be allowed to hold real estate in the United States. Our citizens ought to own our land. i But what do we see? The Japs as a race are superior to the negroes. They have a great government, which the negro race has never had and never will have without help from the white man. The negro was but recently savage and a slave. Yet we make him a citizen, a land owner and an officeholder. In the Capitol of our country ihe buys choice real estate, swings a billy on the police force, gives orders to white women in the Departments and is the boss of white men in many instances. Now, in the face of that, the Japanese, who are a brave, proud and progressive people have a right to ask why we consider them below the negro. I have said before that conditions in Washington are a disgrace to the people of the United States and if things here cannot be straightened out I for one don’t feel like finding fault with the Japanese when they object to being placed on a plane below the negroes.

M Editor Journal:- Inasmuch as it has been suggest ed that the item of interest on a pro posed issue of County Road Bonds could be reduced to a negligible quan 1 tity by providing a sinking fund on | which the banks would pay int(‘r(‘st“ to the county, it might be of interest ! to some of your readers to show a(-~‘ tual results under such a plan. i Let us assume that the county i::—! sues $200,000 of 30 year road bonds | bearing 6 per cent and provides t'or; a sinking fund of 10,000 per annum with which to retire the bonds at the end of thirty years. Let us as sume that banks can be found which will pay the county 4 per cent on this sinking fund throughout the thirty years. Under such a plan the amount 'to be raised by taxation the first vear would be $lO,OOO for sinking fund and $lB,OOO for interest on bonds, total $28,000. The second | year the county would receive $4OO | interest from the banks on the ten | thousand dollar sinking fund collect .ed the first year. So the amount to be raised by taxation the s 1 year would be $28.000 less s4o¢ OSBO, 600. The amount to b« ed by taxation would continue crease an additional 's4oo each )« The ord year the tax would be 16,400 adding he items for each year for the thirty years we have a grand total of $660,000 which the county would pay out on her $300,000 bonds. $266,000 interest is not very in significant is it? After having lived in several Sou thern states I am convinced that the convict system is the best yet de vised for building roads in the South. While the administration of the sys tem in Cobb county seems a bit cum bersome and expensive, the i 1 ielli gent citizens of the count) Ight surely be able to remedy that It would be a poor farmer who would refuse to cultivate his otherwise rich farm because it had a few barren spots on it. It would be up to the farmer to make those barren spots { productive also. | FRED H. McCLESKEY. MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER. LLEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS Georgia, Cobb County. Esther E.
