District is governed by three Commits
sioners. who make all the regulations
and have everything to say in the carry
ing out of the laws.
Some people call them autocrats," said
he. but that is too strong term"
NO, they are arfStocratS,' put in Mr..
Gallinger. with a smile
There are 100000 people in the Dis
trict. continued the Commissioner. land
! believe 100000 Of them are satisfied not
to have vote"
Yes" said Mr.. Gallinger.. "all of you
VINO have read history, and know that
this country fought England because our
people believed taxation without repre-
sentation Is tyranny will have trouble in
reconciling this fact with your ideas Of
government, won't you?"
MT west next told the young people
that he had just been talking to Senator
Gallinger about bill for the purchase
Of all Of the land and buildings south of
Pennsylvania avenue

generations will rise up and call the au-
thor Of the bill blessed"
He then explained that Mr. Gallineer is.
IN TACT, one Of the mayors of Washing
ton No money can be spent by the local

tently and seemed greatly impressed with
everything they heard

BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK. March 23.-An active busi-
ness man. who at times has operated
pretty extensively. said this morning
when asked for an opinion regarding the
market: rs there any new announcement
from Washington this morning." This
query would seem to show what this man
regards as one of the most important
factors in the stock market situation
during coming weeks and months. AS q
matter of fact. MANY other Wal street
people think that more attention, so far
as the market is concerned. will be given
to developments at Washington than to
the changes in the general business situa.
ton.
Last week dispatches from Washington
indicated that the labor situation was
coming up for active consideration by
politicians. and now 1t is said that 1t has
been definitely decided to consider a re.
vision of the tariff. 1t Is pointed out
however, that some little time Is to elapse
before the latter question is taken up
On the other hand. 1t is believed that
the comparatively distant date which has
been set for considering this highly i'm.
portant question will in some circles have
greater effect than II 1t we're to be
taken up in the near future and definitely

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The new week did not develop much
that was new in the situation of the 10
cal stock market, as brought out at the
meeting today ,of the stock exchange, al
though it must be said the buying was
rather better than has been the case for
several days This was especially so in
the Washington Railway and Electric Sc
curities.
Quite a. block of the bonds sold for
78h and one for 1913 and at the close
the bid rose to 762 without bringing out
any more. although there was an intima-
ton that an advance of a quarter of a
point would have dislodged bunch.
One of the brokers had a couple OF hum
dred shares of the preferred stock for
sale and he succeeded in getting them OF
at 60. and two small lots at 6912. The
former was the bid at the Gloss OF the call
The purchaser was the same broker who
bought the bonds, and who also, after the
call, advanced his bid OF q for the COM
mon stock to 23l4. but without result.
It is evident the amount of securities
for sale at the existing levels is not large,
and 1t is also equally evident that buy
ers would appear If they could be sup
piled at the prevailing bid or there
about What is needed apparently to pro-
mote greater activity is the confidence to
push along to higher Levels. but that Is
another way of saying tIat Is the element
needed just now In all branches of &C
tivity in order to restore normal condi-
tions. 1t is believed, however, that prog
