CHAIRMAN SMITH AND A PUB
Lie SERVICE COMMISSION.

Samuel W. SlGith. of Pontiac. chair
man of the House Committee ON the
District of Columbia. is strongly IN
favor of the creation of a public service
commission for the District. lie would
have a commission of first class men,
paving them $4,000 a year each, and
turning them out to get facts for Con
gress to act upon.
Mr.. Smith makes plain. apparently,
that he wants the commission to have
powers merely 60 investigate. That
would be a fine project for securing
delay of reforms; it Is not difficult to
believe that such procedure viii meet
the approval of the Gas Monopoly and
the other service corporations of the
city.
The chairman would not give the
commission any effective administrative
powers, apparently; and neither does
he propose to repose these in the Dis
trict Commissioners or in anybody else
His commission would simply put an
other long and arduous flight in the
series of stairwsys by which approach
could be made to reform of conditions.
When the commission had made inyesti-
CATION at its leisure, and then a report
say on the question of 75-cent gas
the District Committee would then have
20 be won over to acceptance of the
report, and then Congress would have
20 be induced to pass legislation. There
is no reason in favor of such a COM
mission, and the people of Washing
ton will do well not to be fooled by
such proposal.
If there is to be a public service
commission, it should be given a large
delegation of legislative authority.
Fixing rates for public service is a legis-
lative power. Congress can legislate
that the price of gas shall be 50 cents.
and car fares 3 cents; and the only
check on it is the possibility that the
service corporations may convince the
courts that such rates would be con
fscatory. IF Congress Is going TO make
a public service commission of $4,000
specialists, it viii worse than waste the
money unless it gives the commission
power, after investigation 90 fX rates.
as service commissions do elsewhere. as
State railroad commissions do, as the
Interstate Commission may do.
Washington doesn't need any more
complications in the almost impossible
procedure which it must invoke to get
any bettermeHt of the relations of the
public to its service companies. The
commission proposed by Mr. Smith
would be a complication, not a facility.
If Mr.. Smith doesn't radically change
his plan he viii have the corporations
all on his side, and che intelligent pub
lie unanimously against him.

tional Mr. NacVeagh need not confne
his reflections to the local politicians
merely. 1t win be impossible to make
the public believe that the sugar and
customs frauds with their appalling
ramifcations, the extent of which is rot
even yet fully disclosed, were not in
part due to system at which officials
high mp IN national political affairs
winked at.
The Secretary is right in the idea
that politics has no place in the Gus
toms service. The less place it has in
any branch of the Government business
the better And while it will not be
easy for the Secretary Of The Treasury
to practice all he breaches in this re-
gard, he must be commended for max.
ing good beginning.

THE APPALACHIAN FOREST
RESERVE PROPOSAL.

IL is not easy 10 understand the logic
which would make the forest reserve
policy sectional. Yet the opposition %
development Of forest reserves I'm New
England and in the South is largely
sectional. True, there is protcstation
that the Government ought not TO in
yolve itself in the expense of such
undertakings at this time. But France
is engaged in gigantic reforcstation
project which viii cost that country
some S20OOO0OOO, Italy has spent and
u spending immense sums TO restore IN
some measure the forests of its noun
tain ranges, and Germany has already
made large progress IN the same dircc-
ton
The issue Of bonds to carry on q great
forestation program seems to be one
Of the most logical and easily justified
employments of the national credit
The argument that posterity viii get
the benefits. 50 let postcrity pay" is
generally illogical. Applied 10 great
public works, the rule Dr. that the work
has to be paid for after ITS greatest
utility is exhausted. But I'm the case
Of forests, which must grow before they
can be used, there is certainly logic in
the argument Of letting postcrity pay
We venture 20 suggest that there is
vastly better reason In issuing bonds for
the development of the great Eastern
and Southern forest projects than in
employing the same method to con-
struct waterways.
Anybody who knows the conditions in
the Eastern and Southern forests knows
that there is absolute necessity for
measures TO check their destruction
without delay. To do this, 10 assure
that there shall be maintained a basis
on which to develop new growth OF
trees, TO guard against the utter de,

NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR ga
THEIR" AT THIS TIME.

In widely different sections of the
country an unusual note is being struck
in praise of father" In Kansas some
body has suddenly become so acutely
conscious of the injustice done father
that a prize of 500 is offered for the
best poem giving the "old man" his just
dues. In New York tho wife of %
famous pastor has been extolling the
head of the family to such an extent
that he would not know himself. She
warns the ladies that they have been
working "a good thing too long; that
while the world has been constantly
progressing far as they are con-
ccrned-inventions making it possible
for them to get up late in the morning
TO do their milking by machinery and
10 churn by electricity-in brief, to rum
through all the housekeeping and settle
down to gossip and a cup of tea before
lunchtime-there is one individual who.
the faster the pace the faster he must
hump himself That's father" Call
ing attention to the lines on Gathers"
face, she throws out something -.ore
than a hint to the effect that he, "on. -
and that there may be something doing
shortly unless matters shape up to let
him sit down at tie first table.
It is fine to learn that laudatorv
odes, paid for in real money. are to be
laid at fathers" feet. though he would
prefer a chance to lift the pressure for
a short while, so that ne could catch
his breath. 1t is also gratifying to
learn that his efforts to keep ahead of
the VOLTA race which frequently looks
like dead heat-are coming to be ap-
preciated. But the fact that these be-
lated manifestations of his worth ar
rive at a time when he will be EXPECT
ed, we suppose, to show his apprecia-
tion by coming up with something more
than the usual amount of dough fer
Christmas may make him a little skep-
teal Of why the ladies have lust dis
covered his manifold projections.

The ECONOMY PROBLEM is
NOT THE ONLY ONE.

Tt has long been a tradition about
Washington that at the outset of every
session of Congress there was a great
hue and cry about economy, and at the
close of it ample opportunity for OBJ
servations on extravaganza. This ses-
sion the talk of economy Is more en-
phatic than usual. and the steps
preliminary to bringing economy about
gives some promise of being more effec-
tive. The annual estimates of the de
partmcuts have been cut heavily. The
President Is urging economy and the
| leaders in Congress are losing no op-
portunity to tell of the need for curbing
expenditures.
Only the end of the session viii tell
how much there is in all this talk OF
compelling Uncle Sam to exercise
frugality. The indications now are
that to an extent it viii have a good
effect But IL will not do to take the
appearance of economy for real
economy In the first place it is clear
I that the extent of the reduction of
estimates Is to some degree fictitious.
| This is for the reason that reduction
has been accomplished in a good many
/ cases by dammiug up expenditures for
the time being and resolving to do
without things temporarily which Con
press viii be asked for later. This
does not 90 TO the root of the situation
at all. and while it may reduce the
! estimates this year will be ample cause
o. embarrassment next year or the
year after.
Moreover. with the estimates cut as
they are, the tables prepared by the
committees on appropriations show
( that there viii be a deficit at the end
of the next fiscal year, if expenditures
of all kinds are taken INTO account,
/ including sinking fund and Isthmian
canal appropriations. THESE tables,
moreover. do not take account of the
heavy authorizations which are likely
for river and harbor improvements, but
only of the regular annual estimates
/ for the continuation of work on rivers
and harbors. Nor do they include pub
lie building authorizations. Nor can
/ thew i'm the nature of things take ac-
count Of deficiencies srd miscellaneous
expenditure, which always form a
considerable item.
On the whole, IL l. doubtful if Con
gress this session, when all is done,
/ appropriates and authorizes less than it
/ did the last session, which was a record
/ breaker. There is no occasion TO get
excited over the sort Of economy that
still insures a deficit and leaves income
I inadequate to meet outgo. Moreover,
/ there is a noticeable disposition TO
make economy talk the big feature Of
/ this session. and TO sidetrack other
| highly important matters while public
attention is being distracted to the
I subject of the savings being effected
/ I'm the conduct Of the Government It
+ does not yet appear that there Is any
such degree of economy in sight as to
warrant the shunting of of other ques-
tions. The country will not be satisfied
/ with any such course of action.
Economy is a good thing, but there
Is need too. of constructive legislation
with respect to the railroad, corpora
/ ton. conservation, waterways, and
other problems.

mutation Of the upper courses Of the
great rivers. does not mean that the
supply of lumber from these forests rs
TO be shut of. 10 means simply the
employment of business and scientific
direction TO the numbering of these
regions. The time to act Is now.
Failure of action at the present session
of Congress viii very likely postpone
the whole project till another Admin
istration, and that means irreparable
los.
