INTERNATIONAL peace sentiment will

tative Bennett Of New York is the au-
thor Of the latest legislative idea. He
wants all the navies OF all the powers

First the New Yorker wants an in

he wants armed force 70 make the
agreement hold He would use war

In a resolution just introduced, Mr..
Bennett proposes that the President
OF the United States be respectfully re-

Utilizing existing international agencies
for the purpose OF limiting the arma-

international agreement; and of con-
shutting the combined navIes Of the

of universal peace"

1 have just received a letter from DR..
Williams in which he says that rice
was not fed the negroes for some time
before the outbreak of "Ber-Beri." and
that, consequently, there can be no truth

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK LEGIS
LATION IN SIGHT.

At last 1t looks as if postal savings
bank legislation were in sight. After
a number Of caucuses the Republicans
OF the House have agreed on a bill.
have voted in favor Of a report on this
bill from the Committee on Postofices
and Postroads, and also for a rule from
the Committee on Rules for its con-
sideration IN the House.
The bill as agreed on in caucus fixes
81 60 per cent the amount of the funds
placed IN the postal savings banks
which must remain on deposit in the
local banks. Thirty per cent Of the
funds may be withdrawn by the board
OF trustees for investment in United
States securities. The remaining > per
cent must be held as a permanent re-
serve IN the Treasury of the United
States As agreed on in caucus, the
bill Is more TO the advantage of the
local banks in the various communities
from which the postal savings funds
are drawn than was the bill which
came from the Postofhce Committee.
That committee fixed Az per cent
as the proportion to remain in the
local banks.
1t is true the bill still has distance
to travel before it reaches the statute
books, 1t must pass the House, 60
through conference, and there be ad-
lusted so that both houses can agree
on it. Between the Senate and House
bills there are sharp differences. Still.
there are TO such differences as are in
surmOuntable, and the fact the widely
differing opinions in the House Repub-
hcan caucus were constrained at last

SHALL GAS STOCK JUGGLERY
CEASE OR CONTINUE?

The attorney for the gas companies
says the COudrey resolution is uncon-
stitutional, that it accuses the Gas
Monopoly of crimes it has not com
mitted, and that there is no evidence
that such drastic piece of legislation
is needed
Let's see about it. First, what is the
Coudrey resolution? If the measure
Is 80 frightfully vicious as claimed,
surely some of that viciousness viii
show on It's face.
Here it is;
Resolved by the Senate and the House
Of Representatives Of the United States
of America in Congress assembled,
That the Washington Gas Light Com
pany and the Georgetown Gas Light
Company, or any other gas light COM
pany in the District Of Columbia, each
and all, are hereby prohibited from issu-
ing any stocks, bonds, certificates Of in
debtedness. or any other evidence Of
debt without the express consent Of
Congress.
Is this vicious and unconstitutional,
an accusation of crime. and thing not
neededg
In 1908 the Gas Monopoly nearly
doubled its capitalization without CON
sent Of Congress, and has been paying
interest on that abnormal increase
ever since.
The Coudrey resolution says to the
Gas Monopoly:
You shan't do that again"
Isn't it Just possible that the real
reason the Washington Gas Light Com
pany opposes the Coudrey resolution
is that it wants to cut another iuicy
melon for the benefit OF stockholders?
The Coudrey resolution is before the
House with the unanimous Endorsement
of the House District Committee.
This committee, by the way, held a
series of hearings, at which every
possible argument against the Coudrey
resolution was advanced by Of
ficers Of the Gas Monopoly and vas
given due consideration by the mem
bers of the committee. After thorough
investigation and deliberatiOn the com
mittee reported the resolution to the
House with this significant recon-
mendation:
The committee held several hearings
upon this resolution, of which the repre-
sentatives of the gas companies had
due notice, and at which they appeared
and were heard Parties faVOring the
person and by representatives After
the fullest consideration the committee
concluded that the resolution ought TO
pass.
Mark this: The report Of the COM
mittee is unanimous. There wasn't
one vote recorded against the resolu-
ton among the men who had sat pa
tiently day by day listening to the
evidence and arguments for and
against it.
There can hardly be any question
the duty and the action of
the House when the Coudrey resOlu-
ton comes before it for passage The
way is as clear as the MONDAY SUM-
The Coudrey resolution should-and
undoubtedly will-Pass the House
with little or no opposition
What will be its fate at the hands OF
the Senate Committee on the District
of Columbia That is the question
to which the people of Washington
III soon demand an answer.
