It is hard to seehow the Commissioner of Internal Rovenut or any officer of the Governmentcan hold up a Federal statute It ishowever of tho utmost importanceCommissioner YERKKS shouldposition in the matter clearly andbusiness people should not bemake up their minds an to thethem to pursue under the lawlpg opinions expressed by Mr YERKBSSsubordinates In this city

What la of more importance however-Is that Congress should immediatelyr fncal tho obnoxious of tho internal revenue law without waiting fortho general repeal of all tho war taxesand should also pass an act exemptingfrom all pecuniary liability those whohave unwittingly violated tho law In thepast This is the only way In whichthe can be finally and definitely

General Committee It to almost Inconceivable that there shouldsituation in which the elective memberof the committee would be BO dividedamong themselves that the decidingvote would be that of the one nppolntlvmember of the committee

Under the rules In force lastfor many years before theand vicechairman of the Law Commit-tee the chairman of tho CommitteePrinting the chairman of tha Committeeon Resolutions and Correspondenceof the members of tho committee oMunicipal Affairs and the chairman oi

the Committee on Election Officers werevoting members of the Executive Corn

In 1001 these members numfor the chairman of

Committee on Election Officers wasdistrict and so had but one votethough twice a member ofcommittee It will be seen that twenty-one votes In the Executive Committeelast year were cast by men who had notbeen authorized by the enrolled voters Urepresent them but were selected by theman who controlled the President olthe General Committee by whomwere appointed The President of

trolled onethird of the committee re-

gardless of the number of districtwho might be his friends

Mr CHOKER arranged before he leftthis country that the membership in theCommittee on Municipal Affairs and onthe Law Committee should be largelyincreased He also directed that everymember of tho Committee on Law shouldhave a vote in tho Executive Committee-if the statements of his friends may bobelieved He so arranged tho

of the Executive Committeethat the members representing Assem-

bly districts would havo been in anactual minority and would have beenunable to control the committee thoughthey had voted solidly against the

vision of power in the Executive Com-

mittee Is not seek Mr CROKER

believed that some If not all of the dis-

trict leaders would be opposed to himafter the next primaries and he thoughtthat ho could continue his control of theExecutive Committee which shapes the

of the General Committee bya majority of its men

when the Committee on Rules reportedand secured the adoption of their reportlimiting the right to vote In tho Execu-tive Committee The voting members-of that committee are today men whoowe their election to the enrolled votersin the Democratic party in their dis-

The first article of the treaty whilecourse disclaiming any aggressive

Japan a free hand In Cores and England a free hand in Manchuria Noother deduction can bo drawn from thoprovision which gives to each of thosignatory the right to intervene

In the opinion not onlyof Japanese but of Intelligent onlookersJapan at the present time would provemore than a match for Russia In theFor East provided Russia were con-

Curiosities of the Federal BuildingDoom

As we have already ascertained bycareful count the Federal building billsintroduced since the beginning of the

session of Congress appropriatesixty and sixtyone millions

of dollars Some of these bills are mer-itorious Some are positively demanded-by the needs of public business Allare equally defensible from tho pointof view of local pride and expectations-of future growth For example whenCongress has voted let us say ahundredthousanddollarAmerlcus Georgia it Is to con-

struct a reasonable againstmaking a similar for thebenefit of Pekln Illinois providing themoney in tho Treasury holds out Andso on through the multitudinous list oftowns equal in population and Impor-tance to Amoricus and Pckln
