SECTIONS
ON CAPITALIZATION
Senate Regulars Opposed TO
Retention of Railroad
Bill Provisions.

Believers IN legislation Cor the con
troll Of the capitalization Of railroads
and OF interstate corporations are not
much encouraged by the course Of
events with respect TO the capitalization
sections Of the railroad bill
Sections - "A. and l.. are going out
OF the railroad Dill These are the cap
italization control sections. The Sen
ate regulars are opposed 10 them be-
cause they believe an attempt 10 keep
them IN would mean that they would
be made more drastic.
The Democrats 40 not want them for
they hold that the Government has not
the power to exercise control Of capital
izaJiOn. The Senate regulars and the
Democrats have votes enough to dOmi-
nate the senate
The Democratic attitude means that
the Democrats are not going to look
kindly On national incorporation lee-fs-
latiOD. or on any form Of capitalization
control They think T. IS not constitu-
tional for the Government TO exercise
such control and that II should be left
to the States.

best results are to be attained, the
work of getting and entertaining con
ventions must be done systematically.
If the plans as outlined last night are
successfully followed OUTS they I'M
doubtedly wall be-the movement viii
meet with astounding and quick sue
cess. There viii always be a substan-
tial fund on hand, 20 be drawn upon
for sending representatives to cOnven-
lions, for bringing interested parties to
the city, for entertaining conventions,
for correspondence, and for all the
other expense necessary for work of
this character. Duplication of energy
and expense viii be eliminated, and
all local effort and interest viii be di-
rected toward one end.
There Is no doubt that it will be
easier to get conventions for Washing
ton than for almost any other city in
the country. Everybody wants to
come to Washington whenever he can,
regardless of whether he has ever been
here before. This viii naturally cause
delegates to conventions to look with
favor on the National Capital. All
that is necessary is for Washington
business interests to foster this public
sentiment, and direct it toward a
specific effort to select Washington as
the place for holding the particular
meeting desired. The result will sure
ly be the selection of Washington in
a great majority of cases.
Every person whose success depends
upon the prosperity Of the community
should be an enthusiastic supporter of
the convention movement.

CITIZENS CONSIDERING
LOCALLEGISLATION.

The newly organized Federation of
Citizens Associations has taken early
advantage of an opportunity to apply
a practical test to the effectiveness of
Ats operations. A call for q meeting
of the federation to consider gas and
transfer legislation has been issued.
The delegates representing the various
citizens associations viii assemble at
the Chamber of Commerce Saturday
evening and discuss the Godfrey reso-
luton, the Borland- Cary bill, and the
universal transfer bill, with a view of
presenting the views Of the federation
TO Congress.
For many years the people Of the
District have been handicapped in their
efforts 10 obtain beneficial legislation
on broad, general lines, affecting the
welfare of the community as a whole.
The lack of a channel through which to
express the crystallized thought Of the
District led TO the organization of the
Federation OF Citizens Associa tions.
and now the praeticability OF the or
ganization is to be tried out.
There are no questions more vitality
important to the District than those
concerning the regulation Of the gas
companies and the issuance of inter
changeable transfers. The people are
Immediately and directly affected and
they should have an opportunity TO ex-
press their sentiment. If it develops
that they can speak effectively through
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, the wisdom of effecting this or
ganization viii have been positively
established.
1t viii mean much to the future of
The District if the federation Is able
TO convey to Congress the wishes of
The whole people of Washington 1t
will mean that when these big, general
issues arise, the people VIII have a
way to make themselves heard II viii
also be a great advantage TO Congress
10 be. able to turn to one representa-
tive organization and ascertain the
sentiment Of the community. Much
hope for effective results was held out
when the federation was formed, and
1t looks today as if that hope was
justified.

GOOD START MADE FOR CON
MENTIONS.

That the boosting spirit is keen in
Washington was demonstrated last
evening at the Chamber of Commerce,
when the movement for a permanent
fund for bringing conventions to this
city was given the impetus of hard
cash subscription to the extent of near
~ $4,000.
This is the best possible evidence
that the business men of the city are
aroused and vitality interested in the
recently promulgated proposition that
Washington be made the convention
city" of America. 1t also shows thai
the business men recognize that if the

mIEEII.AsA.

The week has witnessed several IN
ique George Washington parties with
all the pretty and suggestive insignia
supposed to appertain to that immor-
tai hero. Cherry trees, hatchets, Lib
erty bells and caps, flags, small and
large, have been cleVerly used in
decoration and refreshments, and ap-
parently no pains have been spared to
make each occasion beautiful and ira
ditionally suggestive.
One of the most delightful events
celebrating the birthday of Washing
ton and perhaps the only one really
intended to honor his memory, was
that at which Mrs. Howell Simmons
entertained the local chapter of
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.
The Daughters were met and well
coined at the door by winsome Miss
Lucy Barrow Taylor, who was ar
rayed in a Colonial gown, with pow
dered hair dressed high, and with
patches on her pretty face. In grace
and dignity the petite maiden riSalled
the PEERLESS Martha GUSTS to whom our
grand general capitulated without a
struggle.
Tea and waters were served at IL,
after which Mrs. James Taylor read
an admirable paper on the home life
of Washington.
Miss Annie May Bell favored the
company with two charming instru-
mental numbers, and Mrs. J. R. Hair
and Miss Ruth Arlington sang with
much sweetness and expression. A
delicious hot luncheon daintiIy served
was most enjoyable featt'e of this
affair.
This was the brilliant Nude to a

Sunday School Class Entertained.

Yet another delightful patriotic af-
fair, was the George Washington So
cial arranged by Miss Yonah Buchan-
an for her class of young men, Tues
day evening.
On entering the hallway ones eyes
rested upon an enchanting vista form
ed by banks of tall plumy ferns.
These were interspersed with vases of
carnations and fragrant hyacinths and
narcissus. The living room and din
ing room were bright with lovely win
ter blossoms, and in the latter a
round table occupied the central space.
